My wife is always right. At first, I’m hesitant or shrug off her requests to try new things. Why? Probably because I’m afraid of those things that are niche or look lame at first glance.
Lake Stevens, WA is a residential city. It’s a small business town with the feel to match. It’s slightly country, but it’s all changing. The city is opening itself to new ideas and new businesses. For a small, one zipcode city, it has a healthy variety of businesses.
This brings me to Kaliki’s.
I never thought a shaved ice business would have worked here, but it has and will continue to do so. They don’t sell sno-cones or Icee’s, no, they sell Hawaiian shave ice.
The shaved ice is soft and packed. Their smallest size is big enough, almost divisible between two people. They have tons of flavors to mix and match. They are the only Hawaiian shave ice shop in Snohomish county that I’m aware of, and that being the case, they still deliver a quality of product. They are active in the community, thats how I discovered them. They put passion into what they do and that makes all the difference. I will also add that the owners are nice folks too.
Anyways, always revisit those things you pass by. Life is too short and sweet to miss out on everything.
