The Yaya’s Story
Yaya's Italian Ice began with one simple purchase: a snow cone maker from Amazon. Intended for summer fun with her grandkids, who affectionately call her “Yaya”, word quickly spread to all the neighborhood kids. As they gathered around her pool in the warm California sun, Yaya discovered that her homemade snow cones were not just a hit with the kids but also with the adults.
Inspired by a trip to NYC where she experienced the much elevated treat of Italian ice, Yaya decided she needed to bring this East Coast delight back to California. Recognizing the potential of this idea, she enlisted the help of her daughters, Brionna and Alexus. Together, they embarked on a journey to transform Yaya's vision into reality, blending the traditional Italian ice experience with the unique flair of California.
Yaya's Italian Ice was born out of a desire to share joy and refreshment, backed by a family's love and enthusiasm. More than just about serving Italian Ice; it's about creating memorable moments, one scoop at a time. What started as a small family activity has now blossomed into a cherished family business:
