Tropical Sno, Des Moines
Tropical Sno, Des MoinesAbout Tropical Sno
If it was conceivable to eat a frozen coconut, Tropical Sno might just serve that. But since it’s not, the company designed syrups that add natural-tasting flavor to cups of shaved ice.
The selection of 40 flavors includes everything from vanilla and cinnamon to guava and green apple. Although it's possible to invent new flavor combinations, an existing set of popular concoctions mimics classic desserts and drinks. For instance, the mai tai merges pineapple, lemon, and orange.
To make desserts more unique than a cake decorated with its own fingerprints, Tropical Sno offers add-ons such as cream topping and sour-pucker packs. Further, the company serves lower-calorie flavors made with alternative sweeteners.
