I know I've passed it many times on the way to Makaha beach and Pray for Sets. A friend had recommended this place and since we were close by, we decided to drop in. From the moment we entered, we felt like valued guests. The employees were friendly, hospitable, and were super thankful for our business. I ordered rainbow with ice cream and azuki beans. Loved the fact that they use Dave's ice cream (and not the cheap stuff that's probably not even ice cream). The ice is powdery and snow soft and melts in your mouth! The ratio of syrup to ice is just right - it was not overly sweet like some other places. Prices are also SUPER reasonable compared to other tourist places. They also sell aloha wear and accessories, making this place a one stop shop for all your local needs. Definitely make the trip to Makaha to get some delicious shaved ice then walk across the street to enjoy it on the beach.

Today at noon was our day because there was no line so decided to give them a try. My husband and I decided to share the most popular per their menu "The Ulu" with 3 flavors and without toppings, ice cream or Azuki beans...we wanted to enjoy just the shaved ice. We chose the strawberry, banana and mango flavored syrup. After packing the ice, they poke holes on the top so when they pour the syrup, it reaches the bottom. As we were eating, I had to ask them twice if they could pour more syrup because there was only ice in the middle. They poked more holes the second time I had them pour syrup. I'm not sure why but we both didn't care for the syrups. I've tried quite a few shaved ice from different places and loved the strawberry and banana...theirs were kind of tart (I don't like tart!) and didn't taste like what we expected it to. Not sure if it's because the syrup is made with pure cane sugar?? We both liked the mango...it was sweet!

My son and I had a day of excursions and thought shaved ice would be the perfect way to end our day. I Yelped shaved ice spots near our last stop and landed on Island Shave Ice and Creamery. We were able to park with no issue. There's ample seating indoor and a couple of benches outside. After placing our order, we decided to sit outside on one of the benches. There were so many different flavors, and all the combinations sounded delicious. My son and I decided to order from the "Local Favorites" menu. We went with one Sandy Beach and I don't remember the other one, but it had cotton candy and it was my favorite between the two. It was incredible. I'm so glad we found Island Shave Ice and Creamery, it exceeded all of my expectations!

You would think the mochi balls would be a good balance to the sweetness of the syrup, but it just tasted extra bland.

Perhaps it would have been better if I added dole whip in it to give it more of a creamier texture!
