School may have started, but summer is certainly still in full swing thanks to the sweltering days we continue to have. So here are a few local spots you can cool off with a sweet treat.
Icy Bean
If you’re walking to the beach on the Ave., stop by this Hawaiian shaved ice shop for a guaranteed way to cool off. The family-owned food truck turned brick-and-mortar business also serves stellar iced (and non-iced) coffee, along with special drinks like its frozen vanilla matcha latte or frozen nutella latte. The Hawaiian shaved ices come in various flavors, including classics like cherry and grape, as well as specialty combinations like the Delray Fusion, which features cold brew coffee shaved ice topped with vanilla and caramel syrup and vanilla ice cream.
