Description:
For years, Philadelphia residents have flocked to Joe's Italian Ice in midst of summer heat waves, and in 2002, a Joe's opened in Garden Grove at a place that looks like it used to be a taco stand. The red, white and green exterior is definitely an homage to Italy, but under this festive roof is where the real heart of the shop is. Flavors of Italian ice are made with real fruit juice, and there are dozens of them, from Apple Cider to Wild Cherry.

The sour watermelon is a bright cherry red, its intense color almost matching its flavor. This flavor packs a punch, making your face involuntarily pucker and leaving your tongue almost a bright a red as the ice itself.

Other standouts were a cantaloupe Italian ice, like eating a frozen version of the mellow fruit. The mango flavor is every bit as refreshing as its fruit as well.

Italian ice's here are served in wax paper cups, and the small size can probably satiate most people. There's limited seating outside of the building, so be sure you have somewhere to eat your ices, unless you're OK with standing in a parking lot or sitting in your car.
