About Dado's
This Is Not a Snow Cone
Dado's Shave Ice is a family-owned mobile dessert business based in Quitman, Texas. Using specialized equipment, we shave ice into an ultra-soft, fluffy, snow-like texture that soaks up flavor — a world apart from the coarse, crunchy snow cones you've had before. That's what makes it authentic Hawaiian shave ice.
Every flavor is crafted in-house using real cane sugar — no synthetic, pre-made syrups. We offer traditional favorites alongside dye-free, naturally colored, and sugar-free options, so there's something for every guest at the table. And if you want to go next level, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for just $1 to make any cup a creamy.
Try our signature Frostade — a mashup of ETX Lemonade and shave ice that we invented right here in East Texas. Our Arnold Palmer Frostade blends iced tea into the mix for something truly unique.

Frequently Asked
- A lot. Snow cones use coarsely crushed ice — the result is icy, crunchy, and the syrup pools at the bottom. Authentic Hawaiian shave ice, like Dado's, uses specialized equipment to shave ice into an ultra-fine, fluffy, snow-like texture that fully absorbs the flavor all the way through. Every bite tastes the same from top to bottom. And because every syrup is made in-house with real cane sugar — not synthetic pre-made concentrates — the flavor quality is in a different league entirely.
