While most people have tried classic shaved ice in flavors like cherry and lemon, T-Good’s Shaved Ice offers a unique take on this summertime favorite. This popular chain of shaved ice shops has locations all across San Antonio, and the New Braunfels location offers all of the most beloved flavors that T-Good’s is known for.

Take your pick from delicious shaved ice options like white coconut and watermelon, as well as sugar-free options for those who are watching their sugar intake. Add fun additions like a rich cream drizzle across the top, or even try the adventurous chopped-pickle-topped shaved ice if you’re feeling really daring. The menu also includes specialty shaved ice options like the Chango, which includes Chamoy plum and pickle with chili salt.
