“Arnold Palmer with pink guava was so refreshing and didn't gave me a brain freeze like some slushies I know.”
“Citrus-strawberry-mint, tea-white peach-basil, ginger-pink guava, all excellent, so many other combinations to try!”
“My friend had citrus and pomegranate and another had ginger and guava, both were awesome but the ginger and guava was definitely heavenly.”

What can I say about this place? It's a truck that serves slush. Is the slush good? Yes. It's better then most slushes I have had. I tried the Arnold Palmer, which was very refreshing. The slush had just the right consistency. It was heavier than an icy or a Slurpee and did not melt as quickly. They have many unique flavors like iced tea, lemonade, blueberry. I'm pretty sure they rotate flavors on a regular basis. I'll definitely try them out again if I am ever in the area.
I tried Kelvin Slush at Smorgasburg – and on a hot day this slush was perfect! I ordered the Ginger. As I kept getting closer in line, they kept on crossing out the available flavors 🙁 In the end they only had green apple left, but the guy dripped the guava and raspberry into my cup (which was hardly anything). The Ginger slush was pretty good though, strong ginger taste which I liked! Will definitely be back for more in the future on a hot summer day.
So refreshing on a hot day at Smorgasbord!
AP + white peach = yummy
Ginger + Guava = yummy
You can get a sample of the ginger if you aren't sure if you like it. Also, the line is pretty long so beware!
The most refreshing drink I've ever had! Or slush I should say…
Tried this joint finally after years of having it bookmarked. Luckily got to check out Smorgasburg on my last day in the city and happily lined up in the long line for this drank. I knew it would go by fast and after 10 mins or so, I got my ginger base with guava slushie and had the biggest smile on my face! $5 well spent and definitely the best thing I got at Smorgasburg.
Your base choice is either Arnold Palmer or Ginger (not so ginger-y in my opinion) and an array of flavors like white peach, guava, mango, etc.
3.5, but I'm rounding down.
On a hot summer day, this is great. Tasty, slightly different version of a regular slushie. With that, it's just a slushie and for $5, you will feel like you got slightly ripped off.
The slushies are great and they do taste good, but I'm definitely not dying for more. It was great to try once, but $5 for a regular slush that I can get at 7-11 for half the price, really isn't worth it to me.
I just got a regular Strawberry slushy which did taste pretty awesome but it was VERY expensive for what it is. They also didn't have much selection. I'd get it again but only for a special occasion, too expensive to make it all the time.
I LOOOOOOOOVE Kelvin Slush. It seems so simple but it is so so good. It is one of the reasons I lug myself into the blackhole that is Smorgasburg. (The other is People's Pops).
When it is scorching hot outside, or not that hot, or not hot at all… nothing refreshes like a slush! The ice crystals are just big enough for half gulp half chew. The sweetness level of the base flavors (citrus, almond palmer, ginger) and the flavorings (changes seasonally) are just right. You won't get that scary Slurpee red tongue and sugar overload.
Everyone who works at the truck and at the stands are super nice!
Oh. My. Goodness. I would follow this truck around all summer if I could. I first discovered Kelvin Natural Slush in Smorgasburg two summers ago. Amazingly at the time, there was no line whatsoever. I got an Arnold Palmer with mango flavoring and it was literally the most refreshing slush I've ever had. The slush is extremely light and not packed with a ton of sugar. It's not too sweet and leaves you feeling cool on a hot summer day, parching you of any thirst you may have.
Since then, the lines for Kelvin Natural Slush have become longer at Smorgasburg. Last time I waited 20 minutes for my slush and when the family in front of me grumbled and asked "is this even worth it?" I assured them that yes, yes it is. It will make you feel like a new person, refreshed and ready to go.
Since then, I've stopped by their truck when it's in the Union Square area, and have tried the ginger with flavors such as white peach, blueberry, and raspberry. Honestly, I love the ginger so much sometimes I get it with no fruit flavoring at all!
the only thing I've noticed about Kelvin Natural Slush was that some workers will coat the entire side of the cup with the flavoring, leaving the fruit flavor to be more evenly dispersed throughout the slush. Others will just put it in the middle of the slush and leave you to stir it yourself. I honestly prefer it when they coat all sides of the cup since it saved me the hassle of stirring, but whatever, the extra effort is still worth it!
For $5, this is probably the most refreshing drink you can get. It just tastes sooo good and the consistency of the slush is perfect! It's never too solid or chunky where you need to move your straw around to try and get better access. Try different combinations! They'll all turn out to be marvelous. Definitely give the ginger a try as well–at Smorgasburg the Arnold Palmer runs out fairly quickly and peopel wil wait around for it, but seriously give the ginger a try and you won't regret it!
Also, $5 is the price at Smorgasburg, versus at the truck it's $4.50 for a larger size (at least from what I recall summer of 2014).
