Delicious wares and friendly service. A true aloha experience.
Best shaved ice on the island. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is due to the wait. I get everyone is on island time, but waiting an hour for a 10 person line to make it through is ridiculous. Plan on extra time to get this delicious treat.
Best ice cream we have ever tasted.....& even better service
THE BEST shaved ice you can get. We went two days in a row. You can get a scoop of ice cream in your shaved ice, and it's amazing. My husband and I split the regular and there was plenty! Love the pineapple, Pina colada, and coconut flavors with a scoop of toasted coconut ice cream in the middle! 🙌
Nice people serving great shaved ice! Cash only. There can be long lines at times but it's in a perfect location between Hawi and Puako which makes it a great place to get something cold on your drive. Also check out Kohala Burgers right next door...the burgers are really solid.
Long wait but well worth it - CASH ONLY - about 30+ flavors of shave ice and dozen flavors of ice cream
Excellent shave ice and ice cream. Service was even better! Thanks for making our final day perfect.
We had an amazing experience! The owner was so incredibly kind to our 6 boys and helped us pick the best flavors!! We would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend! The shaved ice was beyond Delicious and the service was second to none!! Thank you so much!!
Great place! Our favorite shave ice flavors were strawberry and lime. We had no queue when coming at 11am
Best shave ice on Big Island! Be prepared to wait tho,lines at most times.
We go to this place all the time. We visited again today. Got my fav, Halo Halo. Did not disappoint. Will be back soon.
Oh so good. The lady there does a wonderful job of pairing three shaved ice and one ice cream scoop flavours. Mmmmmmmmm!
Do not let the place deceive you. It is a tiny whole in the wall but it is just amazing and staff was so friendly and patient with our 3 kidos who of course could not make up their minds. Lots of options all delicious
If there is no line, I would give this place five stars and advise anyone to go.However, the other reviews are accurate. It literally took the server 64 minutes to handle the ten customers in front of us. I can appreciate island time, but this was absurd. I've never seen someone shave ice and scoop ice cream so slowly.
Great flavors, a little stingy on syrup. Cash only
Delicious ice cream and shave ice. Its island time here, so there was a long line and it took a while to get to the front of the line, but it was worth the wait. Local flavors such as Kona coffee and mango. Also, sugar free shave ice flavors available.
Yummy shave ice and ice cream. They even have two dairy free options. Would be even better if they expanded their vegan choices.
awesome shaved ice and you can add actual ice cream just to spice things up.
Best shave ice, ice cream and service. I love the crew who works it all the time.
I miss this magical place! Great service and nice people.🤩
The service was kind and efficient, the ice was beautifully soft and fluffy, and the flavors were tasty. Lots of syrup flavors and a nice selection of ice cream flavors, even two sorbet choices. There are two shave ice sizes: small and regular, but both were very generous. I got a small and it was almost more than I could handle. My son got a regular with sorbet in the middle, and it was about as big as his head! The prices seemed quite reasonable, too. I wish we'd discovered this place earlier in our trip!
Great shaved ice... There was a line, but it was worth the wait 😄
This place is a must go! Best ice shave on that side. Service is a little slow but worth the wait. Coconut, lime, banana ice shave with haupia ice cream in the middle
Drove specifically to this “business” to let my daughter experience shaved ice. They decided not to show up for work, let alone open. If you decide to go, CALL FIRST.
Excellent shave ice for a great price. You are always treated like a life long customer. I always try to go here after I go to the beach
Very yummy. I had lychee, watermelon and tangerine with condensed milk also called snow cap..its delicious
The BEST shave ice. Only problem is you may have to wait some time in line because so many people enjoy the best shave ice on the island.
Over an hour wait for ice cream? No reason for it. Improve your efficiency.
Must go shave ice spot in the big island. Cash only. Awesome customer service, but it’s a little busy though. Don’t forget to try their halo halo mix.
Great destination to stop for a cold treat. Highly recommend the shaved ice, even more so on a hot day.
Can never go wrong with a rainbow shaved ice
Great place to get a shave ice and even better locally produced Tropical Dreams Ice Cream (from Waimea). Very friendly staff. We stopped here many times.
Amazing! Best ice ever for the Hawaiian ice! The lillikoi cheesecake is soooooo good and the toasted coconut and haupia are perfect! Easy parking and if you call they might be open later than posted hours. Exactly what I was looking for 😁
Excellent shave ice, with ice cream options. Service time could be improved by optimizing the service. Service window only, no indoor seating.
Awesome ice cream and fantastic service....even our little weiner dog loved it
Great shave ice place! Better than the locations on Oahu. Ben is very nice guy and always gives generous portions. We always visit here when we come to Kawaihae.
Quick service and fairly priced. Great variety of drinks
SO GOOD! the girl at the counter recommended the macadamia nut with the chocolate and it was fantastic! Cones were fresh and delicious! Highly recommend!
It took 30 minutes for four people ahead of us to order four shave ices- and for my family to order two. That’s six shave ices in 30 minutes, three cash transactions in 30 minutes, or one shave ice every five minutes.
Delicious!! Well worth a stop. We were driving by and stopped because I had never had shaved ice before. It was amazing!! They had at least 20 flavors and for $4 (small size) you get this huge shaved ice. I’ll have to make a stop again before I leave!
Delicious shaved ice with ice cream embedded. Price was right, and the portion generous. Friendly service with a lot of flavor options. It's worth the drive if you're staying at one of the resorts in the area.
The shave ice was very good, fine ice and great flavors. My husband and son had ice cream in theirs and said it was really good; rich and creamy. The gentleman working was nice as well. My only complaint/suggestion is they should have more than one person working during the peak times. We had to wait in line for about an hour for 14-15 people ahead of us. It took him about 15 min to fix our 4 small shave ice. Of the 3 places we tried during this trip, this was our favorite location, just plan on a long wait in the afternoon.
Great shaved ice
Small hole in the wall shave ice and ocean location. Larab1out 10 kinds of ice cream. During peak times service can be slow. Ice cream is good - decadent chocolate and strawberry. 4 soda choice for floats. Was a little disappointed in shave ice syrup. Flavor was there but it lacked sweetness and there seemed to be a shallow pour making parts of it very white and without syrup. Conveniently located next to Kohala burger so you can grab a bite after.
Wow what a treat for a reasonable price try anything you ll love it
This place is SO amazing!!! I went on vacation to get shaved ice. You get a spoon for your shaved ice with a sample of ice cream on it(which was a nice perk). I didn’t know what flavors I wanted so I asked a worker to surprise me and it was delicious! I think the flavors were guava, blue Hawaii, and melona. Definitely worth going! The service and product is great!
It was ok but we all liked the one in Hilo better
Was good but the wait was longer than it should be.
One of the better shaved iced available on the big island. They are open until 6pm yet people kept showing up and lining up even after 6 so I admire their commitment to serving. There’s almost always a line so come earlier than 6 if you want to be served... great flavor selection and the flavors tasted great as well.
Awesome flavors. The ice cream is amazing. Service is very attentive but it will take a minute.
