    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

    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.

Judging by the most recent comments in Google Reviews, this is not an isolated incident, and I hope the owners become aware before their business plummets, if it hasn't already. I bought the cheaper water, 40 cents a gallon, and the young man charged me for the more expensive, 90 cents. I was late noticing it, brought it to his attention. So he refunded my cash and we started over. No big deal. I brought the cart back in after loading the water, and he asked me "What's a dollar worth?" not once, not twice but maybe 10 times. I repeatedly told him I had no idea what he was talking about. i thought he was kidding, but continued to ask the same question in a condescending tone. Finally, I surmised he was saying I owed him a $1 even thought he was the one who gave me change. I tossed the dollar on the counter and asked who his boss or owner was. I would like to speak to him/her. He said, "I'm the boss." I asked if that meant he was the owner. Just repeated "I'm the boss." I told him he acted like an ass and I wouldn't be back. He said it all was my fault because I didn't specify what time of water I was buying. In previous visits over more than two decades, every other employee has either noticed, or asked me. The whole incident was unbelievable. I've been coming to this location since it opened. I've never had a bad experience. Until now. I will not be back.
