🍎🍂 FALL FLAVORS ARE STARTING… BUT HOLD THE PUMPKIN FOR NOW! 😂🎃

East Texas clearly isn’t ready to give up summer temperatures yet, so we’re still here to help you cool down! ☀️🔥🍧

But we are starting to transition the Islands menu into some fall-ish flavors, and our first new Pop-Up is a GOOD one…

🍎🥧 APPLE PIE À LA MODE!

Apple Pie SHAVE ICE + whipped cream and a cinnamon sprinkle and a drizzle of caramel, if you add vanilla ice cream underneath, this thing is 🚀😂

And before anyone asks…

🎃 NO. IT’S NOT PUMPKIN TIME YET.

We’ve got more fall creations coming, but with these temperatures, we’re easing into it!

🌴🍎 Come cool down and get the first taste of fall at Islands!

☀️🔥 IT’S ANOTHER HOT ONE, LONGVIEW! 🔥☀️

And we’ve got the cure. 🍧🌴

WE’RE OPEN TODAY 1–7 PM!

With this East Texas heat still hanging on like summer has no plans of leaving, there’s no better excuse to cool down with some ultra-soft Hawaiian SHAVE ICE.

🍓 BONUS: Today is also your LAST CHANCE for our Strawberry Shortcake Pop-Up! Once we close tonight, it’s headed off the menu to make room for some new “fall-ish” creations we’ve been working on. 👀🍂

⏰ OPEN TODAY | 1–7 PM
📍 Ellis Pottery | 3110 N. Eastman Rd., Longview

🔥 It’s hot. We’ve got ice. Seems like an easy decision. 😂🤙

🍓🚨 LAST CALL FOR STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE! 🚨🍓

This is officially the **FINAL WEEKEND** for our Strawberry Shortcake Pop-Up! If you’ve been putting off trying it—or it’s become one of your favorites—Friday & Saturday are your last chance!

🍓 Fluffy SHAVE ICE
🍓 Strawberry topping
🍰 Slice of butter cake
☁️ Whipped cream

LAST WEEKEND OF SUMMER HOURS!

FRIDAY: 1–7 PM
SATURDAY: 1–7 PM

Next week we officially move into our **FALL HOURS**, so stay tuned for the new schedule!

Speaking of fall… we’ve been working behind the scenes on some brand-new limited-time Pop-Ups that are a little more “fall-ish” that you might just love! 🍎🎃🍂

We say *fall-ish* because let’s be serious—East Texas is still HOT. 😂🔥 We’re not quite ready for sweaters and fireplaces, but we are ready to start bringing some fall flavors to ice-cold Hawaiian SHAVE ICE.

Come send Strawberry Shortcake AND our summer hours out with a bang this weekend! 🍓🍧🤙

🍦🏆 THE VOTES ARE IN… AND WE HAVE A WINNER! 🏆🍦

Our Ice Cream vs. Black Cherry Flavor Face-Off has officially been called — and this one wasn’t particularly close. 😂

FINAL SCORE:
🍦 ICE CREAM — 48 🏆
🍒 BLACK CHERRY — 28 😬

With a commanding victory, ICE CREAM has earned a PERMANENT spot on the Islands menu! 🎉🌴

Don’t worry, Black Cherry fans — we’re not destroying the evidence. It may occasionally be allowed back out for a limited-time pop-up flavor, but the people have spoken and Black Cherry is officially in the Shave Ice "corner"!

🍦 WELCOME TO THE PERMANENT MENU, ICE CREAM!

WE'RE OPEN 1-6 today so come grab one today and taste the flavor that won its way onto the board!

☀️🔥 IT’S BEEN A LONG, HOT WEEK… BUT WE’RE BACK TO NORMAL! 🌴🍧

The cones are moving, the equipment is gone, and THE PARKING LOT STRIPING IS FINALLY DONE! 🙌🚧➡️✨

After a couple weeks of working around the parking lot project, we’re pretty excited to have our new digs looking fresh!

**WE’RE OPEN TODAY 1–6 PM!**

Come on out, check out the newly finished parking lot, and reward yourself for surviving another HOT East Texas day with an authentic Hawaiian SHAVE ICE! 🍧🤙

🚧🍧 CONSTRUCTION WON’T STOP US TODAY! 🍧🚧

After a little back-and-forth with the parking lot project this week, we’ve got a way to make it work and WE’RE OPEN TODAY 1–7 PM! 🌴🙌

We’ll be working around some of the cones, so things may look a little different getting in and out — but WERE SHAVING! 😂

☀️ It’s Saturday.
🔥 It’s HOT.
🍧 And we’re ready to serve you!

Thank you again for being patient with us while the parking lot gets finished. Come out, cool off, and help us make up for some lost time!

⏰ OPEN TODAY: 1–7 PM
📍 Ellis Pottery | 3110 N. Eastman Rd., Longview

Construction or not… we’ll see y’all at 1! 🤙🌴

🚧 UPDATE FOR TODAY 🚧

We truly thought we were going to be able to stay OPEN today and tomorrow while the Ellis Pottery parking lot work continued. Unfortunately, as the project has progressed, access to the parking lot has become too restricted for us to safely and reasonably operate today.

So, unfortunately, we will be CLOSED TODAY. 😔

We know we’ve had several changes throughout this paving project, and we sincerely apologize for the back-and-forth. We’ve been trying our best to stay open whenever access allows because we hate missing a day serving you guys!

At this point, tomorrow is looking unlikely as well, but we’ll keep you updated as soon as we know for sure.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and for sticking with us through the construction craziness. ❤️🌴

We’re ready to get back to normal just as much as you are — and we can’t wait to see everyone again soon! 🍧🤙

🚧🍧 BECAUSE ITS SO HOT...YES — WE’RE OPEN TODAY! 🍧🚧

The parking lot project continues, but Islands will be OPEN TODAY from 1–6 PM! 🌴☀️

They’re still working on the parking lot, so getting to us will look a little different today:

👉 Please use the NORTH ENTRANCE
👉 Park along the fence

Once you’re in, we’ll take care of the important part — getting something cold in your hands! 😎🍧

We appreciate everyone bearing with us through all of this construction. We’re excited to be back open and look forward to seeing everyone soon!

☀️🔥 IT’S HOT, AND YES, WE’RE OPEN… AND TODAY’S THE DAY TO GET YOUR ISLAND FIX! 🍧🌴

We’re **OPEN TODAY from 1–7 PM**, and with the Ellis Pottery paving project moving along, this will likely be your LAST CHANCE for SHAVE ICE until Wednesday! 🚧

The good news? That parking lot is going to look GOOD when this is all over. 😂

The bad news? We’ll most likely need to stay closed **Monday & Tuesday** while they finish up the work.

So with another HOT East Texas afternoon ahead, we think you know what to do… 🥵➡️🍧

⏰ OPEN 1–7 PM TODAY
🚧 Likely CLOSED until Wednesday
🌴 Come get it while you can!

Bring the family, cool off, and help us finish the week STRONG! 🤙
