    Ube treats and other Hawaiian style desserts cakes. They also have Hawaiian sun can drinks and coconut water

    Love coming to happy honu! We've been long time customers prior to them opening their shop. We look forward to seeing them in their honu hut at the markets. But it's even better coming into the shop for the ice cream and dole whip, which isn't available in their little hut. Our favorite has to be the shave ice and dole whip, hands down. I also like that they have coupons when you sign up for their program. Never had an issue with poor service. Support family owned businesses!

    Blue coconut and peach small shaved ice. There are also options that are sugar free, but so good.

    Guys. You got to get ice cream on the bottom. It's so good. Came in the next week, with two other people... it's the same. Great service, great vibes, most recent thing I found is that they do stuff for the community.

    Some one is happy!

    After visiting Hawaii, my kids and I fell in love with the island and always looking for little bit of Aloha in our lives. When we discovered Happy Honu Shaved Ice our hearts were happy. Our family looks forward to coming here to get a special treat and fill our spirits with a bit of Aloha until we can visit Hawaii again. We love that Happy Honu Shaved Ice frequently has pop ups with other Hawaiian vendors. We love to check out what desserts they have in the mini fridge so that we can have some delicious treats to enjoy at home. The Service here is always welcoming and the ambiance is our kind of place to spend with family.

    So evidently I've loved right by this place for years and have never visited. So, with this 110° weather I swung on by. I order the cherry cola flavor with ice cream and sweet condensed milk. Ice cream is at the bottom, so you basically gotta dog a hold down to get to it, bits it's worth it. The sweetened condensed milk was good, but not sure if it was worth the upcharge. Location is small and clean. Service was great. I was in and out in just a few minutes. The actual shave ice itself was delicious. A large was probably a bit too much, but I'll def be back here again!

    We absolutely LOVE Happy Honu Shave Ice--it's the real deal, straight from Maui! This is the kind of authentic Hawaiian shave ice that takes you right back home with just one bite. His flavors? Broke da mouth. Lychee, lilikoʻi, guava, and all the local favorites we grew up on, plus that creamy haupia whip that's basically heaven in a scoop and their own speciality "one of a kind" And don't sleep on the Ube Snow Cap topped with li hing mui sprinkles--it's like a sunset at Keawakapu in dessert form. They started with their bright and cheerful food truck, which still rolls around the Valley (mostly west side), and they're always serving aloha at the Arizona Aloha Festival in March. Mahalo for keeping the flavors of Hawaiʻi alive right here in Arizona! 100% authentic Hawaiian shave ice Flavors that hit your soul Food truck + events Always worth the drive

    This is authentic shave ice, yes, the kind you can find on Oahu or its surrounding islands. Decent prices and generous portions served up with friendly vibes

    Best Shave Ice out here! From the melt in your mouth ice to the delicious flavors and great service, Happy honu does not miss. Most authentic Hawaii style shave ice, gives you that taste of home. I recently sampled their Haupia fluff, and amazing. My go to spot whether in the store or on their truck, same great tastes. 10/10 recommend

    Big Red, with sno cap

    The shave ice and ice cream are delicious. They have many flavor combos to choose from and different ways to top your shaved ice. Best shaved ice place I've been to BY FAR. The service is great and the wait time is never long even when it's busy. They have indoor and outdoor seating, with beautifully painted walls inside.

    Best shaved ice that I've tasted in AZ. Takes me back to Oahu...highly recommended!!!
    Evelyn I.

    Highly recommended...the real deal! Takes me back to Oahu. This place is definitely authentic shaves ice.

    They have lots of flavors and for shave ice here on the mainland, it's pretty good. Great that they have Lapperts ice cream too.

    Decided to stop by last Friday and cannot say I was wowed. There wasn't a lot of trucks like I was…read moreexpecting, not sure if it's like that every week but we got a pizza which was $14 and burnt. We also got some fried plantains and an arepa from another vendor and it wasn't great. We did get a cupcake and it was FABULOUS! I would go back for another one of those in a heartbeat. I would stop in again if we were driving past in the hopes for more vendors.

    Not perfect but you can do very well. Food Truck Friday moved to Glendale between the Sam's Club…read moreand Walmart across from the Arrowhead Grill area on Union Hills and 83rd. They advertised that they will be there every Friday Night 5pm-9pm. They had around 18 food trucks a bouncy blow up for children, a train ride, and seating. We tried 3 food trucks and Mr Softea. Red Ginger Food Truck made really DELICIOUS Korean Bulgogi tacos! From Re di Roma wood fired pizza food truck we tried a tartufata pizza. It was ok but not as great as from someone well known nearby. We also tried Mel an Libby's Soul Food Truck. We ordered the fish and shrimp combo with a side of Mac 'n' cheese...........The shrimp were ok but in a either non seasoned or almost unseasoned batter.....My husband asked (maybe Libby?) for cocktail sauce but she didn't give him any......but then things go down hill.......The fish was fishy tasting and chewy.......(YUK!) Sadly the Mac 'n' cheese can win a prize for worst in the world.....I consider the fish and the macaroni and cheese to be substandard. We had to throw away most of this $23.50 away. We ended our Food Truck outing with Mr Softea and that was surprisingly good and cheap ($2 small & $3 large cups of soft serve with sprinkles) I didn't notice any hand washing area so bring some hand sanitizer.

My wife and I love to cook and have prepared some outstanding meals at home over our 40 years together. We have extensively traveled and lived throughout the world and as such developed pallets for superb cuisine from all over. As we grew older we gleaned the best of what we enjoy and developed them into our own cooking skills. My wife being Korean born refined her cooking skills in the eastern cuisine like Korean, Japanese, Thailand, and others while I have refined my skills with French and Italian. Prescott is a beautiful place to live but its culinary basis is built on sawdust. We usually cook for ourselves if we want a top notch meal. Now the past several years I have been confined to a wheelchair and transport is very limited. We used to spend winters in Hawaii where we could get great quality meals and seafood whether we prepared them or went out. So our 40th! I wanted to do something special for my wife since I have not been living up to my end of our culinary relationship being confined to a wheelchair. Thus I started seeking out a Chef that would come to our home with his staff and prepare a custom made meal for us. I selected Chef Thomas and Copper State Kitchen. I started by a rather lengthy discussion via phone and followed up with sending Chef Thomas some of our favorite recipes, sufficient for him to develop a five-course meal for us. Chef Thomas is very professional and easy to work with. We refined the meal over the next two days we agreed on the following proposed menu; I supplied the wines. Amuse-Bouche * Fig Jam, Blue Cheese, Red Wine Poached Pear & Arugula Crostini Starter * Prime Rib Poke with sesame crunch and microgreens and pipkuala aioli (based on my deconstruction of the infamous Tiki Bar in Waikiki dish) Pasta Course * Lobster Tagliatelle in a Champagne Cream Sauce Main Course * Beef Wellington with foie gras and red wine demi-glace Dessert * Crème Brûlée (torched table-side) Wine Pairings * Santa Margarita Prosecco DOCG * Domaine Salmon Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc * Tenuta de Sesta Brunello di Montalcino 1996 * Chateau Rieussec 1st Grand Cru Classe 1863 Sauternes 2004 Every course was perfect and very enjoyable. And they cleaned the kitchen meeting my wife's expectations. I highly recommend Copper State Kitchen for your personal culinary experience to celebrate your special occasions.
