      This shaved ice is awesome!
      Finely shaved ice makes it quite easy to scoop and eat.

      Had the Cherry flavor for my first one and in line to get a second one!

      Small = $5
      Large = $8
      AK XL = $12

      Highly recommended!

      Oh my goodness it was so good. My husband went with the flavor recommended and it was to die for! The sno cap and mochi made the shave ice. It was so light and fluffy and the syrups tasted great. I got blue Hawaii and passion fruit! Was worth the travel just to get the shave ice so my 8 year old son says. He says we have to come back every day of our trip.

      Ice cream bottom, banana, blue Hawaii and sno cap with mochi on top

      I've never had "Hawaiian Shaved Ice" before - and no, this isn't "water ice" from back east, or even a Sno-Cone. I have no idea "what" this is. But is is VERY tasty and fun.

      BIG AS YOUR HEAD.

      The Largest is indeed HUGE. I'd suggest unless you know what you're getting, trying one of the other on for size. The colors, flavors and "add-ons" are more extensive than the menu implies, and it can be a wait - these are not something produced in 2 minutes, and each is custom. On a busy hot afternoon, I have waited in a line of 5 or six for as long as 30 minutes or more.

      But I waited. As did the additional 4 behind me. That should say something.

      My favorite place to get shaved ice. I always wait for them to come back in the summer. Must have your shaved ice with ice cream at the bottom!

      Have been several times this year. Great shave ice, decent pricing, and good service. Owner lets you know daily where he will be in town, on his Facebook page.

      Reminiscent of my favorite shave ice on the north shore!

      First to Review

      We stopped in for a refreshing treat on a hot day. The guy running the place was friendly and service was quick. I had the Sugar Magnolia which was Pineapple an Scarlett Begonia which was great. They offer snow cap, li hing mui powder, and ice cream on the bottom as options.
