Kona Ice of Charles County

About a 3.5: I found the Kona Ice truck at Tanger Outlets by the National Harbor. This was one of the handful of food trucks that were there on the other end of the parking lot (next to H&M). They have several locations (Fredericksburg, Annapolis, St. Mary’s, Calvert County, etc.), and they offer shaved ice with different syrup flavorings: Tiger’s Blood, Blue Raspberry, Wedding Cake, French Vanilla, Kona Cola, Green Apple, Strawberry, Wild Watermelon, Blue Coconut, Mango, Grape, Cherry, Lemon-​Lime, Tropi-​Kona, Root Beer, Bubble Gum, Cotton Candy, Orange Creamsicle, Pina Colada, Banana, Pineapple, etc. They have about 4 different cup sizes, and they give you a cup of shaved ice, all nicely shaven, and there’s a little syrup ‘depot’ where you can pour as much syrup to your heart’s content! I really liked this concept as sometimes, when you leave it to the vendor to put the flavor syrup in, they don’t put too much and you usually only get the tip of the surface to be flavored, but when you get to the bottom, it’s just plain ice. I liked how you can control how much you want to flavor it! The guy was very friendly and said that kids love this as well, as they just go out of town by going straight down the syrup depot, pouring each and every single color (no limit!). There’s also a ‘Sour Shot’ that you can make your shaven ice sour, on any of the flavors (free at this location; others is 50c). A nice cool treat if you’re in the area!
+pump to your heart’s desire (flavor syrups, that is)!
