I have also hired this great local company for neighborhood events, block parties and open houses. They are very professional and arrived in plenty of time to set up their amazing Tiki Bar! We didn't have a lot of kids so we weren't sure how many people would partake of the shave ice but it was a HUGE hit, especially our concoction of "Schoon-er-Ritas." OMG these are so GOOD! Santa Cruz Shave Ice is super easy to work with. The owners are accommodating, very pleasant to interact with and are AMAZING party planners. Chermae and Sybil are friendly, funny and truly enjoy the fruits of their labor. If you want to move your party to the next level, we highly recommend hiring Santa Cruz Shave Ice.

I grew up in Kauai, so I'm pretty picky when it comes to Hawaiian shaved ice. Ever since moving to…read moreCalifornia, I've been trying to find a place that actually tastes like home, and Pau Hana absolutely nailed it. This is by far the most authentic shaved ice I've had outside of Hawaii. The texture of the ice is perfect, the flavors are spot on, and getting it with condensed milk and macadamia nuts takes me right back to the islands. One thing that really stood out is that they source their ingredients from Hawaii. Their li hing mui powder is the real deal--the best I've found anywhere in California. The first time I came in, I asked if I could buy some because it was that good. They said they would've loved to, but they didn't have any extra at the time. Fast forward to today--I came back with my fiancée and asked again, and they actually remembered. They had some set aside for me and wouldn't even let me pay for it. That kind of customer service is incredibly rare. I didn't catch the owner's name, but he was genuinely kind and went out of his way to make our day. They've earned customers for life. If you're from Hawaii and miss the real thing, or if you've never had authentic Hawaiian shaved ice before, you need to come here. I recommend Pau Hana to everyone I know!

I was in the area with my brother and my niece. While my brother had to do something nearby, I saw…read morepeople on the street holding shaved ice. Looking at how delicious they were, I asked where they got this from. They pointed me to the corner and I went in with my niece. The space is rather small, but you don't really need to sit in the store to enjoy the amazing food. They have curated list of items or you can build your own. My niece wanted specific colors, so we opted for build your own style. We got mango ice cream at the bottom with strawberry and cotton candy syrup, topped with mochi and condensed milk. The shaved ice itself was finely grounded and easy to scoop. I didn't have any chunks of ice that made eating this unbearable. The syrups were delicious and sweet and worked well together. The condensed milk tied it all together and the mochi added a nice texture touch. The mango ice cream was also delicious. Overall, a very reasonably priced dessert. I look forward to coming back again.

Owner was helpful and shared the story of his father behind the name of his shop. We ordered a large that comes with up to 4 flavor scoops. The kids enjoyed the mango a d pineapple flavors. The affogato with a small scoop of salted caramel just didn't hit the mark with an underwhelming scoop of Italian ice that doesn't do the same as a scoop of traditional vanilla ice cream plus a disproportionate amount of bitter coffee. Prices are average. An okay spot if you need a cool treat and can't get to the local premium ice cream shop.

My daughter and I both went with the cookie dough ice cream, and it was SO good. It wasn't just little pieces of cookie dough either--it had big chunks of chocolate mixed in, which made it even better. Our friend got the almond mocha and loved it as well. We both got the fun cones that were dipped in different chocolates, which looked as good as they tasted. I went with the basic plain cone, and honestly, it was perfect too. It was such a nice little treat to sit in the sunshine, enjoy our ice cream, and watch the sea lions barking and playing in the water. The shop is cute and has plenty of other things you can purchase, but we were mainly there for the ice cream. One thing I will mention is that there wasn't anywhere inside to wash your hands. After walking around the pier and touching everything, we definitely could have used a sink! There is a bathroom nearby, but we didn't think about using it until after we'd already ordered. The staff was kind enough to give us a cup of water, so we went outside and did our best to clean our hands that way. The service was great, the ice cream was delicious, and we were told that everything is made locally, which I always love supporting. Overall, it was the perfect little sweet stop while enjoying the wharf and watching the sea lions. Definitely worth grabbing a scoop if you're in the area!

After walking on the pier we were kinda worried about finding a decent spot to eat. So glad we gave it a try. Walking in there were like 3 other parties walking in so that was encouraging. It gave off Hawaiian/tiki vibes and was inviting. They have a 3 course special 4-5 pm for like $30. My husband and I picked that, I had the teriyaki chicken bowl and he had bbq ribs. The salad had a delicious dressing and had to eat every morsel. Both the main courses were really good. My grandson ordered the steak and ate every bite of the whole meal. Kai (the waiter) was very nice and gave us some advice on what to see along the route. I got an amazing picture that I blew up to hang in our room. Totally recommend giving this place a try!
