Sara's full firsthand review

Hippo Ice has been opened for a little over a year. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Sugar Land. I finally made my way over there just a few days ago. I cant compare Hippo Ice to any other place because it was my first time trying shaved ice. I love the concept! At first, I literally thought the product would be plain shaved ice. But I was wrong. The kind young lady at the register explained everything to me. The ice actually has flavor and pieces of fruit in it as well. I opted for the coconut ice with strawberries and watermelon chunks. For the sauce, I opted for the mango puree. The combination of the flavors went well together. The coconut ice literally tasted like fluffy snowflakes. Very creamy, delicate, and with a unique texture. A nice change from ice-cream and frozen yogurt. I definitely see myself coming back and trying their other flavors as well. This place closes late which a nice addition from all of the other spots that close early in the 'burb's.

What we tried

Sara's visit centered on the coconut ice with strawberries and watermelon chunks, the mango puree. The strongest impression was the quality and flavor of the items that stood out, along with the overall experience around them.
