Amodeo's Tropical Snow is located inside the Lucky Penny. The cafe serves more than just shaved ice, with sandwiches, bakery goods and snacks like nachos and pretzels popular items, especially with students from nearby Lincoln High School. It's quiet inside, and even during the school year the rush lasts an hour at the most. There's indoor seating as well as picnic tables for those who want to enjoy their treats outside.
