Throwback Thursday: It’s Sweet To Be Elite at Aqua S Event
Thanks to the Yelp Coastal Virginia Community Manager, Anne, and the wonderful people at Aqua S, I was able to preview their new Hampton Roads location (located in the Strawbridge area of Virginia Beach) back in February. It was a real treat (no pun intended).
So a little bit about Aqua S; they’re an ice cream chain that started in Australia and now over the past five years have expanded into locations in Asia, Australia, and the United States. There are only a handful of Aqua S locations around the world so Hampton Roads residents are very lucky to have a location in Virginia Beach. It should also be noted that this place is so Instagram ready. They have neon signage, as well as a cloud mural with wings that looks so cute when you hold an ice cream cone up to it (or yourself if you had on a cute outfit like I did.)
At the event, Aqua S was kind enough to let all attendees order one cone with unlimited toppings. After looking over their toppings I decided on getting mine with a mixed swirl of sea salt (their signature flavor) and strawberry kiwi ice cream, topped with pocky, a toasted marshmallow, and cotton candy (which Aqua S quaintly refers to as “Fairy Floss"). Everything was oh so delicious; in addition, we also got to sample their Thai tea flavor, which was new at the time and also pretty tasty.
Overall, It was really nice to catch up with other local foodies on the area, as well as meeting new ones. A big shout out to Anne for having plenty of activities fun activities out as well as the blue and pink champagne with cotton candy on top; it was a nice touch. To end the event we had a raffle for various prizes, in which I won and got to take home two mini containers of ice cream; one pandan and one matcha; both were amazing. I’m really glad I was able to attend this event.
