Tropical Shave Ice Truck, arguably the most popular dessert luxe lonchera around these parts (even more popular on mercilessly hot weekends like the one we just had), posted a Tweet on Friday announcing that they're opening a brick and mortar store.
On their Facebook page, they included a teaser picture that showed the store front and wrote the following:
“And now for the big announcement. To all our Shave Ice Ohana, we have been extremely blessed to share with you our Authentic Hawaiian Shave Ice & happy to announce we officially have our brick and mortar restaurant. Launching end of September. More details to follow. Can anyone guess what city??”
