    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!

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Location is small and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

    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

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

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have indoor and outdoor seating, with beautifully painted walls inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I've never tried this place or the butcher, but I saw it on too good to go and have been eyeing the…read morebag for a very long time! I finally got the one that is daily up for grans, and I was so excited! My sister and I can't figure out why there's only one bag per day, but it's very coveted so we were excited to see what was actually inside! We walked in to the bakery with the intention of ordering more treats, in addition to what was in the too good to go surprise. When we walked in, it was 10:05, and they closed at 10:30. They had already put away half of their gelato and baked goods in the cabinet. I understand closing time is at 10:30, but if you still have almost half an hour left, I'm sure there are customers that are gonna come in and buy things. There were three parties of people that walked in while we were in there and then sitting out on the really nice patio. There is a little bit of seating inside, but the patio was very nice and there was plenty of seating out there too. The vibe is super cute, and I love the decor. Hopefully next time we go back, we can actually try things because they won't be put away!

    Funny enough, my sister & I were watching Nonnas & the first ten minutes made us want the pastries…read more So, we stopped to think where could we get a pastry? I remembered this place. It happened to be a little under twenty minutes away from us so we decided let's do it & they were open late. Hell yeah. There's not a crazy amount of pastries but the selection was great. We got two tiramisus, one vanilla custard lobster tail, some mini cannolis, & the wedding cookies. Everything came out to about $50 so beware, prices aren't exactly cheap. But for one, if you're going to do "bad" then do it right & we also shared with our family of 5 so plenty to go around. & Holy cow, everything was incredible. So indulgent, decadent & rich in flavor. My nephews liked the cannolis, personally they're not my favorite, but if you're into it the mini's are a great option to quench the craving. The lobster tail with the vanilla custard took me by surprise. I didn't think I was going to care for it, but the cold custard was refreshing & the flakiness of the bread was crazy, my taster buds were confused by the textures, but in the best way. They complemented each other well. My ultimate favorite was the tiramisu & the wedding cookies. I honestly wish I had gotten more of the wedding cookies, those things took me back. I grew up eating the Mexican ones & the Italians did it right *applause* But damn, the tiramisu was to die for. I would order that again & again. Perfectly chilled, the dusting of the cocoa powder didn't taste like nesquik--incredible. At first the price had me thinking if we were doing too much, like damn, should we have just gone to Sprouts bakery? But after being able to indulge in a great quality dessert, it was worth every dollar. My only feedback, careful when you're paying at the register. If you're not paying attention, the tip automatically defaults to 18% on the tablet. Only thing I didn't care for. I could see if I was eating at the restaurant, but I just popped in to take pastries to go. So, that was kind of annoying. The service was fine, the girl that helped me was nice, but again I just pointed at desserts I wanted & went home. The location is part of the main restaurant, but it has its own entrance & little room making it feel separate to the Sicilian Butcher. They also carry gelato which I haven't tried yet. I believe they have little tables to sit at also. Highly recommend checking this out so save room for dessert!

The staff was very friendly, I asked a few questions on what ingredients they put in their drinks and she happily explained them. After she made my drink, she said if I didn't like it, she can make me a different which I appreciate. I got the pistachio matcha. It is not on the menu. They just show Matcha. So I asked what flavor they offer. Then I asked about the latte and on the menu there is a pistachio coffee latte. I was debating between a strawberry matcha and pistachio coffee latte. The staff said she can do a matcha with pistachio, which was perfect! The matcha is strong, which I like places that you can actually taste the matcha.

My mini loved it, so it might be better for kids but it wasn't bad tasting at all. Very refreshing for a hot day. Friendly service, next time I'm over here I'd probably stop by for another beverage, as they have a lot of options.

    Hi Yelp friends. My hubby and I are visiting our daughter…read morein Peoria, Arizona for a few weeks this summer. We got here just in time for Father's Day. Yes, she said this is the place to go for the best ICE CREAM!!! Oh Yes! I ordered the banana cream pie, one scoop, on a cake cone. Yum! This is made with fresh bananas. Love it! They both ordered the Mint chocolate-chip, two scoops, on a cake cone. I, of course, had to help him from dripping, lol. I have to say, this was the Best! It is so good! Made with BIG pieces of chocolate. I am def gonna order this next time, and I want to try the cherry and the rocky road. We drove through the drive through after dinner and the sun was just going down. The staff that stands outside to take your order is so friendly, cheery, patient (it was my first time) , and helpful. They really do earn a little tip and they really do show their appreciation. There was a short line, but it moves quickly. They do have a cool covered patio area with tables and it is surrounded by misters. Doesn't that sound like an ice cream summer paradise?!? If you are in the area check it out! They also give you coupons when you visit for a discount, and more for your next visit. They have an app, so you can order ahead and earn rewards. It ice cream weather, so now is the time to get your ice cream! Woohoo!

What's nice ordering online is that they provide an estimated time of when the order will be finished. However I always still have to wait at least 5-10 min at their pick up window until a worker acknowledges me when I'm picking up my online orders. So now I always add 10-15 min to their estimated time that they gave me so I know for sure they finished my order. Never had issues with my orders, it's always delicious everytime. So many flavors to choose from it's hard to pick sometimes. I love their cheesecake flavors, butter pecan, and cherry vanilla. Depending on my mood I order scoops of ice cream or milkshakes if I'm on the go. If you don't like ordering ahead online they have a walk up pick up window and drive thru and benches to sit outside with umbrellas. It's a great family friendly spot.
