Summer heat in Las Cruces is no joke, so spend the rest of summer cooling off with some ice-cold snow cones and shaved ice. Here are a few spots we recommend.
New Mexico Snow Shaved Ice Shop
Newly opened, and ready to serve up lots of icy goodness. New Mexico Snow is the perfect spot to cool off with some shaved ice. Pick your flavors, add your topping and take a seat on some of their colorful seating.

Roasted Rooster Coffee & Waffles
While more well-known for their unique sweet and savory waffles and coffee, Roasted Rooster is serving up stuffed snow cones this summer with plenty of flavors to pick from. Head over and cool off with a sweet icy treat, a bird-inspired coffee or delicious home-made waffles.

This local gem not only shells out all kinds of specialty energy (and non-caffeinated!) drinks, but is also in the business of raspas. Either way, cool off with one of their many options, whether it be a Red Bull specialty drink, lemonade, Italian soda, coffee or a good old reliable raspa.

Zeebs. Fruit Ice, Burgers & Fries
All in the name, Zeebs is a great for burgers, fries and their famous fruit ice — a smooth and icy treat similar to shaved ice. While they home three staple flavors, stop by different days and ask for the special for a new flavor to try.
