Highly recommend Auntie Viv's Shaved Ice for catering! My workplace treated us and we each got to customize our own sweet treat. I had the Guava Sunrise special with coconut ice cream on the bottom. It was super flavorful and perfectly balanced, not too sweet. The duo serving us was so friendly and made the whole experience even better! read more

We had Auntie Viv's shave ice at our wedding reception and the furikake snack at everyone's seat. Both were a huge hit and absolutely delicious. Auntie Viv and her team were amazing. read more

Came for the shave ice, stayed for the furikake!! The savory furikake snack mix that Viv and family create is the most addictive and delicious snack. When we visit we almost always stop to grab a bag (or two) and my family regularly buys us bags as gifts because they know how much we love it. Pro tip- buy the furikake seasoning and add it to EVERYTHING! read more

After a too-long COVID hiatus, we were thrilled to celebrate Auntie Viv's return to the shave ice circuit at the Dublin St. Patrick's Day festival. Using homemade natural syrups and old-school Hawaiian shave ice techniques and equipment, you can be sure that the ice is pillowy and soft, the syrups are colorful and full of flavor, and the add-ins are authentic. Viv has continued to provide her furikake snack mix during the holiday season, and it has made me MANY friends with coworkers who received a bag (quick tip to ingratiate your boss to you - give them this mix). I'm so excited that Viv is scheduled to participate in our end-of-school school event/fundraiser! read more

One of the best shaved ice's I've had. No, this is not your typical shaved ice you get at the mall but this is more like the quality shaved ice that you get what you pay for. Our friend hired auntie Viv's to cater for her birthday party this past weekend. Friendly staff and I can tell they care about the shaved ice they are giving to their customers. This was my first time trying shaved ice from this vendor and it did not disappoint. The presentation, consistency of the ice, syrups, and the toppings were perfect. Will definitely give them another try if I run into them at a pop up event. read more

HIGHLY recommend for any event you're throwing. They add that magical touch, and bring in that aloha spirit to any of your gatherings. Viv and team are so easy to work with: they're flexible, communicative, and really partner with you to achieve what you want.... Not to mention, they have killer shave ice!! Viv brought a little taste of the island back to the mainland, and we are here for it! Thanks Auntie Viv's! read more

Auntie Viv's was catered at my sister in law's high school graduation and it was an amazing addition to a celebration environment. Not only was the shaved ice DELICIOUS and FRESH, not too sugary or full of artificial tasting syrups, but Viv and her staff were amazing. They were professional and their set up was beautiful. I was thrilled to see them again at the St. Patty's Day festival, we didn't mind waiting in line for it either! read more

I first met Auntie Viv and her husband Uncle Bill about a year ago at a friend's party where they were catering. At that time, they were just starting their business and were trying to figure out how to market it. We talked at length and I gave them a couple suggestions about using Yelp as a marketing tool. I also wrote a review here soon after. Fast forward to today. I got an e-mail from one of my co-workers about a package addressed to me that's sitting in the mailroom. I was surprised since I wasn't expecting any packages. The thought of calling the bomb squad crossed my mind, given all the suspicious packages we have been seeing on the news lately. Okay, just kidding. No actual Harvey was harmed during this encounter! XD The package turned out to be from Auntie Viv! It was a large bag of her artisan furikake snack mix and a big fridge magnet. In her note to me, she credited me for their success. I was taken aback by her thoughtfulness. Honestly, what I did had very little to do with their success. Her genuine personality, quality products, and superior service are the main keys to their popularity. As I'm writing this, I am still in awe by her kind and thoughtful gesture. Auntie Viv, Mahalo for your gift! I truly appreciate it. :-) read more

Having Auntie Viv's at our end of the year meeting was a special treat and great way to say "thank you" to all of the educators who work with our students every day. The shaved ice was perfect, but the real selling point are the house made syrups. DELICIOUS in all the right ways. This treat will transport you right to the island shores. Vivian creates a little Hawaiian aloha wherever she sets up. A much-needed refreshment. Vivian is incredibly easy to work with. I would recommend her for any event. She is very accommodating and versatile. read more

My family had the pleasure of having auntie Viv's shave ice at the 2023 Dublin St. Patrick's Day festival. It was one of the first booths that caught my attention and I'm so glad I stopped! The service was wonderful quick and we received everything we ordered perfectly, auntie Viv herself was at the window and knew how to put a smile on everyone's faces! The weather wasn't typical shave ice weather but my kids and I wanted to go back for seconds and thirds! I am so glad she's back and can't wait to have another one soon read more

SUMMARY: Met Vivian, the sweetest lady you'll ever meet at a pop up show outside of Cali Craft a few weekends back. We got her Furikake Cracker Mix. So delicious! FURIKAKE CRACKER MIX (5/5) I'm probably spelling it incorrectly but it's a type of fried, seasoned topping for rice. Viv uses it to season Japanese style rice cracker mix. Holy goodness, this stuff was attic five. I tried not to sample it at her stand, but her charming personality convinced me like a Jedi mind trick. Sorry no pics of the packaging or the crackers, but trust me it was pretty darn good. Highly recommend you at least sample, but gotta warn you that you'll buy a bag or two! read more

First off, Viv is such a beautiful person. This is a family owned business at its finest. All the care and thoughtfulness shows through the ingredients and presentation. The flavors of the shaved ice is out of this world! So crisp and delicious. My favorite is the furikake snack mix! So crunchy, sweet and savory with freshness! Visit Auntie Viv at many events or hire her for you special event. She will make the event with this deliciousness but VIv is an amazing person! read more

My 6 year old loves shaved ice and we wanted to include a shaved ice service on his birthday. We agreed with another vendor and 2 weeks before the event the other vendor cancelled on us. That's when we contacted Vivian from Aunty Viv and from there on our experience was 5 star! The communication was friendly and easy, the menu was delicious, the full service was exactly what we wanted for children. We were blown away on the day of the event. The shaved ice was heaven! It was so delicious, it was even better than what we had eaten in Hawaii. Our guests absolutely loved it and our son was over the moon! Thank you Vivian and team. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would! Highly highly recommend! read more

Got the chance to taste Auntie Viv's goodies and all I can say is amazing! First off, all the syrups that they use for the shaved ice is all homemade and made with real ingredients. I love matcha, so I was STOKED to find out that she has a matcha flavor available and it is amazing! She also makes fresh mochi as a topping for the shaved ice. Her mochi is so divine, it reminds me of what my grandmother used to make for me as a child, so I applaud Aunt Viv for delivering amazing mochi. Auntie Viv has some of the best shaved ice BUT honestly, the show stopper is her Furikake Mix! This is TO DIEEEE FOR! It has a nickname of Crack Mix, and honestly it is. Every time I see Auntie Viv's stand, it is always a must to get her Furikake Mix, and honestly she is a saint, because now you can order the mix online and they can ship it to you! The mix itself is sweet, salty goodness consisting of chex mix, pretzels, honeycombs, etc. It is soo worth it so definitely give it a try. read more

As a born and raised Maui girl, Aunty Viv's shave ice is legit! Ice isn't large, crunchy pieces like you're eating hail. It's soft and powdery. The syrups taste great! If you're missing Hawaii shave ice, gotta seek her out! read more

I found Auntie Viv's Shave Ice at the Wednesday Santana Row Farmer's Market and fell head over heals. The minimal time I've spent in Hawaii was full of mostly me shave ice hopping around Honolulu in between meals and beach time and it.was.glorious. Auntie Viv's took me right back. I ordered the small size for $6 (which still looked massive) and chose the mango, guava, and passionfruit flavors and was mighty happy with my decision, though next time I think I'll probably just go for mango and passionfruit because I like the stronger, zippier flavors. The woman working the front of the tent was so so so sweet and everyone working inside looked full of love and like they were having a great time, even though I was the only one at their booth at the time. My shave ice came up pretty quickly and a really nice man handed it to me and said that if I wanted more syrup to just let him know. And I know it sounds like just good customer service but he was so warm and said it so thoughtfully that I wanted them to adopt me and then I could just move into their booth and I dunno. Feel loved and eat shave ice, I guess. Which is really all we can hope for in life. Anyway... my order was beyond outstanding. I walked back to my car and two people stopped me to tell me how they liked my 'look' and one was a supremely fashionable woman so I know I was looking fly AF and I can't help but give at least half credit to the massive shave ice order I was basking in. read more

Had the pleasure of enjoying some true, authentic hawaiian style shave ice by Auntie Viv's at the St Patrick's Day festival in Dublin. What a treat it was! I've always been a fan of shaved ice but at most all places here on the mainland, the ice is rough shaved and the syrups are sugary and artificial tasting. Not the case with Auntie Viv's! Their ice is so fluffy soft and just melts in your mouth! And the syrups? Just as refreshing as actual fresh fruit! Really brings you back to the islands. Just thinking about it is making me drool! Wish I could have another with all the fixins! Looking forward to seeing them around at future events, especially during the summer. Until then I might have to plan my next trip to Hawaii soon! read more

Auntie Viv's - Shaved Ice Near Me

Otter-Pops were the pinnacle of frozen ice treats for me, until I had Auntie Viv's shave ice. I had the privilege of trying them out at our friends' Halloween party and it has changed my life for the better. Earlier that evening, I was yammering away with another guest when my friend told me that something big was going down in the kitchen. Curious, I dodged the gauntlet of roaming toddlers in front of the kitchen and saw Auntie Viv and Uncle Bill with their glorious machine. I was transfixed by the teal contraption that spun fluffy white shavings of icy goodness. This ain't crushed ice we're talking about, and definitely not the gritty stuff churned out by a Snoopy Sno Cone Maker. This was soft, melts in your mouth, shave ice. I was informed that the homemade syrups were made with 100% natural ingredients and gluten-free, two things my unhealthy lifestyle cares nothing about, but okay. Keeping with that theme, I asked for two kinds of syrup (mango & guava) as well as the snow cap (condensed milk topper) plus the Li Hing Mui powder. It didn't take long to contemplate seconds as I was taken to another world by the sweet and creamy treat. I don't know anything about shave ice, but my friend informed me that it tasted just like the ones he had in Hawaii. Alas, I didn't make last call for seconds, but now I have raised my standards just a little bit when it comes to eating ice. read more

Are you ready for it? Yep, you can now get shave ice (it's NOT shaveD people!!!) out here in the Bay Area that is closest thing to Ululani's. You guys who have been to Hawaii know what I'm talking about. I've had too many "shave ice" snow cones where I'm just munching on pebbles of ice lathered in sweet, unidentified red or blue syrup. Now, you don't need to settle. There was shave ice at a Halloween party I went to. What an awesome surprise! As soon as I saw the machine and a big block of ice, I knew they had potential. I walked over to the booth and asked Auntie Viv and Bill what flavors are popular. They told me the kids love strawberry but they recommended passion fruit. So I got that and pineapple. As I watched the machine carve each layer of soft and fluffy goodness into the orange snow cone cup and the team work their magic with the ice pat down and syrup, it looked more and more promising. I didn't go with the snow cap (condensed milk). Later that night, I went back and got strawberry and mango. My favorite was strawberry. I also tried to dried plum powder which added a nice savory-sweet flavor. One other note is that the syrup is homemade and does not include any high fructose corn syrup. Auntie Viv and Bill were super friendly and provided great customer service. Try it yourself...you won't regret it. read more

Omg ONO grinds!!! Im picky when it comes to shaved ice I'm so over the sugar syrup that passes here on the mainland. Auntie Vivs takes me back to Oahu and reminds me of the hole in the wall under Aika bowl! Better than Matsumotos, this is all Ohana and the love is tasted in every bite! They make heir own syrup, that's right HOMEMADE!!! I had a Guava and Strawberry and it tasted like fresh made juice 100% like i just picked it off the tree and puréed it! So now let's talk about he real addictive things Vivs has now. Furikake mix! I think she made this just for me!! It has ALL. Of my favorite foods I shouldn't eat, and then she goes and tops it with this addictive sweet and salty heaven in my mouth seasoning! I bought several bags at a movie event we were at, and then I asked her about bulk!! She didn't plan on it but she decided to work some Numbers and and took my order for my daughters birthday party in under a week!!!! Word got out I placed an order and now she's tripled my original order! And this is in just two days... it's THAT FREAKING AMAZING!!! Theres good stuff, and there's great stuff, and there's stuff made by hand with love!!! If you have a chance.... you have to try it... I mean all of it! read more

Auntie Viv's shaved ice is so delicious! After visiting Hawaii and eating shaved ice every single day I thought I would never find nothing like it, but thankfully I came across Auntie Viv's at a food festival. Ever since then I always make sure to make a stop at their stand whenever they are at a farmers markets or food festivals. The flavors I've tasted most recently were coconut, P.O.G and black cherry. I had actually ordered strawberry but received black cherry instead. At first I was bummed, but black cherry ended up being my favorite flavor out of the three. The snow cap is also a must! I hope Auntie Viv's has an actual store soon! read more

I had Auntie Viv's at my brother's birthday party, and it was absolutely AMAZING!! This is the real deal, legit Hawaiian shaved ice, not snow cone stuff you get at other places. I absolutely loved that the syrups, which are naturally flavored and not "over the top" sugar sweetened syrup. The homemade mochi was delicious!!! I loved that the whole family is involved and they enjoy what they do. Service with a smile, even in 90+degree weather Mahalo!! read more

I can't speak to the product, but the customer service is excellent. I asked about having them come to a school event, it turns out that a class party is just too small for them to service, but the response was quick and quite personable. It leaves a really good impression and if I had a big event to staff, like one of our school fairs, I would definitely look to Auntie Viv's shaved ice to provide delicious treats. read more

Auntie Viv's was at our fall festival. My 12 year old wanted to try shave ice, but she was overwhelmed with the ordering process. I decided to be a hero and come help her. There are many options, which is a good thing once you've made some solid choices about what you actually want. As I was saving the day for my child, I read the words "Kona Coffee" .... ummm... YES PLEASE! I ordered the deluxe one that comes with chocolate and Pocky and everrrrrythang. It was very sweet, a little too sweet for my taste- but it was also delicious. My daughter ordered something blue, perhaps blue raspberry? I tried some and it was very tasty indeed. Refreshing, and large enough to share with a buddy. I always feel better about spending money when the people are exceptionally awesome. Everyone working for Aunt Viv's was so friendly and outgoing. No rush, and they want you to love what you order. When the service is fantastic, it's a treat on top of a treat. I look forward to trying out the flavors- there are a LOT. I was just reading that they mix alcohol into the shave ice for adult parties- I am IN!! Thanks Auntie Viv's read more

Best of all, this business is owned and run by some incredible humans that give so much back to our community. read more

If Yelp had 10 stars I would have given Auntie Viv's 20 stars. I have eaten shaved ice and icy's and slushies all over the world however, buyer be warned. Once you had Auntie Viv's shaved Ice you can never top that experience, OMG, their custom made shaved ice is the most delicious ICE Cream + Shaved Ice I have ever had. Auntie Viv's personality and her crew personalities influence the amazing positive taste and pride she takes in her products and services. We have hired her services for our Campolindo High School Grad Night and the repeated line to get more and more of her amazing Shaved ICE was A M A Z I N G !

Dang, soo good. Got shaved ice. Didn't realize it was made from real fruit. So freakin' good. I'm allergic to strawberry's and thought it would be a basic syrup, thankfully I noticed some fruit bits before I ate it, no biggie, but dang, the grape was yumm! read more

Shaved ice is HUGE and amazing!!! Don't forget to grab some furikake snack mix, as well. You won't want to put the bag down!

Snack mix is very good! Perfect amount of sweet and salty. Product delivered in a timely manner.

Late review- was able to purchase the "bucket o crack snacks", aka the furikake snack mix, before Auntie Viv closed up (temporarily). Best birthday gift I ever bought myself, plus I shared with so many friends! Kids that didn't like seaweed devoured a bag full within minutes. Fellow islanders tasted some of home. Can't wait for her to open back up, she is truly Ohana!! read more

Auntie Viv's - If summer was a food. - Shaved Ice Near Me

I decided to check out Auntie Viv's Shave Ice after hearing about it and I thought it'd be a good business to have at our school carnival. I hadn't tried it before but I was able to get them to come. They do fundraisers and said they'd donate a portion to the school. They arrived on time and were ready to serve. And boy did they deliver! Their line was flowing continuously at least 20 people deep for 3+ hours until they sold out and they were all working so hard. They kept on smiling and worked as fast as they could for the many, many customers. It looked like they kept everyone happy and all the kids and parents were enjoying their shave ice everywhere I looked. They had three different sizes including a "keiki" size for the kiddos. All their syrups are made with real fruit. I could definitely taste the difference, especially because I could see real strawberries in the syrup that was on my shave ice. The shave ice was perfect, just as it should be. Definitely Hawaiian style. They had all the options you'd want including ice cream, azuki, mochi, li hing powder and snow cap. They even offered furikake Chex mix. I'd highly recommend as real Hawaiian shave ice is hard to find out here and this is legit. Thanks guys! read more
