  Royalty Tropical Ices

  5.0(1)· Google5.0 out of 5 from 1 reviews (Google rating)

  Ice Cream

  Royalty Tropical Ices is a mobile frozen dessert business in Kalamazoo, MI, with a listed address at 1428 E Alcott St. Its service extends to local neighborhoods and a range of gatherings, including sporting events, company events, community gatherings, local school events, and birthday parties. The mobile format is central to its description: the business brings frozen treats to neighborhoods and events rather than describing a conventional ice cream shop visit. The menu includes soft serve ice cream and water ice, also described as Italian ice. Other listed options are milkshakes, flurries or blizzards, sundaes, and waffle sundaes. That gives the business a selection spanning both ice cream desserts and water ice. Royalty Tropical Ices has a Google rating of 5 stars, though that figure is based on just one review and offers only a limited picture of customer experiences.
