Baltimore-style snowballs are the focus at this adorable roving truck (follow them on Twitter), which makes a wide variety of syrups (including cardamom vanilla, Meyer lemon ginger, pomegranate, and Tcho chocolate). Top off your snowball with housemade marshmallow cream or chocolate syrup.

This California chain's Vietnamese-style ché, layered cups of shaved ice and toppings, are filled with goodies like coconut, pandan jelly, longan, basil seed, red bean, lychee, and avocado. Though they come with straws, you'll probably need a spoon to do some digging. They also do bubble tea and fruit smoothies.

This cute cafe and gift shop offers Hawaiian-style shaved ice, which is probably the closest to most Americans' childhood memories of Sno-Cones (it's basically just ice and flavored syrup). It's definitely one of the prettiest places you'll ever snack on shaved ice.

Sample Korean-style bingsoo at this newish Tenderloin cafe, where topping options include red beans, condensed milk, mochi, sliced almonds, and even ice cream.

Nostalgic East Coasters will want to head to Merigan for a chicken parm sub and an Italian ice. Liza Shaw always has lemon and almond options, as well as a seasonally rotating flavor.

Pizzeria Delfina makes its own Italian ices on-premises at the Mission location only (the others do gelato, probably because they aren't in direct competition with Bi-Rite Creamery). Enjoy your choice of chocolate, lemon, or cherry.

Unfortunately, their location in the Mission Market was lost in the fire that destroyed several homes and businesses. However, they're back, offering raspado, or Mexican shaved ice, in flavors like mango with chili powder, strawberry-lime, or guava. The Latino ice-creamery is an extension of a popular mini-chain in San Jose and Oakland.

This newly opened chain is based out of Sacramento, where guests have gone wild for its fluffy, Taiwanese-style shaved ice. Check out a plethora of flavors like mango, green tea and taro, and top them with all kinds of syrups, fruits and candies. The strawberry cheesecake is an especially popular option.
