    AMAZING Pineapple cream! (If you like dole whip)
    Alejandra D.

    I wish I had found this spot sooner! We passed by it several times during our trip and had no idea what we were missing. I love Dole Whip, but this place serves their own version called Pineapple Cream, and in my opinion, it's a million times better. They even have a poster in the shop comparing the ingredients, and let's just say they're not shy about pointing out what's in Dole Whip versus their own product. Their Pineapple Cream is made with simple ingredients, and you can absolutely taste the difference. They offer a variety of island inspired flavors, which made it tough to choose because everything sounded delicious. Unfortunately, we didn't discover this place until our last night in Maui. Otherwise, I have no doubt we would have come back multiple times during our trip. If you're a fan of pineapple ice cream, this is a must-visit. Seating was limited outdoors and inside was full. Wish they'd have more outdoor seating.

    We spent a week in paradise, and we had to check out the highly rated Island Cream. Island Cream Co. served some of the best ice cream I've ever had. The flavors were rich, unique, creamy, and absolutely delicious, and every bite lived up to the hype. What made the experience even better was the quick and efficient service. Even with extremely long lines of customers, the staff kept things moving smoothly without sacrificing friendliness. If you're an ice cream lover, this place is definitely worth a visit. Great ice cream and great service make for a winning combination.

    Single split scoop with lillikoi cheesecake and macadamia nut with mochi

    Really yummy ice cream and great selection! Super popular spot with lots of people bustling in and out and taking advantage of the unlimited samples lol. I really enjoyed the fact that they offer split scoops for any size of ice cream, so I had a single split scoop of lillikoi cheesecake and macadamia nut ice cream. The lillikoi cheesecake ice cream had such good cheesecake flavor, rich and a little tangy. I wish there was just a touch more of the lillikoi jam ribboned throughout the scoop, but it was still good. I liked the chunks of macadamia nut that were int he mac nut ice cream; it was a little sweeter than the lillikoi cheesecake, but the two of them were balanced nicely! I ordered it with mochi, and it also came with a chocolate wafer roll. The staff was super helpful and kind! I felt bad for them because one of our orders broke the shaved ice machine, but handled it as best as they could. I'm sure many people would be enticed by the fact that the syrups are self serve!

    Was looking for biscoff ice cream which is how I stumbled upon this place. And I ended up finding my new favorite ice cream spot! Cute little store with a nice interior and a huge selection of flavors to choose from. The service was great the girls working were really nice when I was taking a while to order cause I wanted to try eve try thing. The ice cream itself so good I got biscoff which is now my favorite and beach bum really good banana flavor with pecans. I tried other flavors like vanilla and Caramel. Really good consistency nice and smooth and the right amount of sweetness. Along with with that hot kamaaina which is always a plus. Definitely recommend will be coming back to try others things like their fudge and shard ice!

    Came here almost everyday when we stayed in Maui. Shaved ice is a bomb, best of the best!

    I had really high hopes for Island Cream Co, but was sadly disappointed. We swung by a couple hours ago and there was only one person in front of us. We stood there for 10 minutes and no one greeted us or acknowledged us. When it was finally our turn, more customers showed up and all of a sudden two additional workers came from the back to help out... We felt like we weren't cared for and that was a huge turn off for us. We ordered two small glacier ice station shaved ice. The flavors I chose were guava, passion fruit and lychee. I thought the flavors were really good, but I unfortunately didn't add enough syrup so it was on the weaker side which made it harder to eat. That's my fault though! The shop itself is clean and has AC. Our main problem was the lack of customer service we received. It's sad to see so many 5 star reviews, but I'm not able to write on for them today...

    Delicious! If I could leave it so simple I would, but since we as Yelpers love to ramble on, the Island Cream Co is located in the shops across the Lahaina Cannery with counter seating inside or at tables outside the shop. The staff are friendly and welcoming upon opening the door. The shop is clean and orderly to a T! They offer handmade locally sourced cream, shaved ice, chocolate covered bananas, ice cream sandwiches and chocolate tacos to name a few. I had a double scoop of mint chip and strawberry chip, both delicious and creamy!

    Very nice service and experience. This ice cream / gelato fusion was one of the best things we've ever had. We got the chocolate chip Mac nut flavor and it was specifically outstanding. The ube was a lovely and noticeable flavor but I felt it lacked a bit of sweetness for my taste. The shave ice was a good fineness and quality. We specifically liked the ability to go back for more self-serve syrup, and try anything! The flavors I tried were all milder than i like regarding sweetness but tasty nonetheless. Would visit again!

    Great for kids! Adults too. Flavors are abundant and very enticing. The shave ice I believe would be the main attraction because of the self serve syrups. Price is above average but noted you are in a tourist town. They do let you taste before buying, I know this because of the dude in front of me tasted like 3-4 flavors. Can't stand bozos like that. Anyway. Great place!

    The shaved ice selections
    Laura A.

    We always stop here at least once during our annual visit. The ice cream is always fresh with some great spins on the flavors. The service is good and they let you sample as many flavors as you want. If you're into shaved ice the selections are off the chart. They have indoor seating as well as a few tables outside.

    The best ice cream on Maui. Everything is made in house and you can tell. Samples are given with a smile, and all of their flavors are incredible. Don't pass on this place - it's highly rated for a reason!

    Excited!
    Inverleith F.

    Easy walk up on a Saturday late morning but as we sat , the line coming in was steady and the one person working was great! Very patient and calm demeanor. I loved all the ice cream offerings and sampled a few for kicks. Ended up with a small shave ice with a scoop of pineapple cream. It's very exciting to be able to select and serve myself any flavor that spoke to me. And afterwards, you can have snow cap and li hing mui added by the employee which is what I did. While the ice isn't as flakey as a couple other places I have tried, it's tasty nonetheless. Definitely coming back, maybe for ice cream only but who knows! Plenty of parking in the lot and places to sit in or out. Please support this local business.

    Stopped for ice cream after a meal at Kīhei Kaffe. A bit of a line but it moved quickly. The people taking orders were so happy and didn't balk at all with samples. We got chocolate, a banana flavor and a Dubai chocolate flavor. All of them were very flavorful and were enjoyed outside before heading to our hotel.

    No, not at this time. Our original plans were to expand on all Islands, however, unfortunately the State of Hawaii and specifically Maui are VERY anti-business locations. Any expansion would most likely be on the main-land and we do have numerous… Read more

We sat at one of the few picnic tables and umbrellas, and sampled our refreshingly icy shave ices, while looking at the gorgeous view of Lahaina and the crystal-clear waters. I liked my "root beer float" but it was a tad sweeter than I like. Perhaps I should've added a free sprinkling of Li Hing Mui. Next time! Yes, there will definitely be a next time! Thank you, Kyle!

I think shaved ice is a part of the Hawaiian experience. You put in your order at the kiosk. The ordering line wasn't too long. After you put in your order, there's one person working to get the orders out. They have this big shaved ice machine, that is automative and shaved ice is ready for the person to shape the ice in the bowl, top it with syrup and serve it. It's a quicker concept, than the old shaved iced machines. The flavors I chose were Lychee and Guava. It was ok. The price of shaved ice has gotten more expensive, I thought.

The main option there was Island Vintage Shave Ice, so I headed over. This is a walk up spot where you order from the counter without going inside. When I got to the counter I was told they were out of coconut, strawberry, and mango for the day. Since I usually go with lilikoi and coconut, that was a bit of a disappointment, but not a deal breaker. After looking over the menu I ended up ordering a small with lilikoi and pineapple. I then watched as the ice was not shaved fresh but instead scooped out of a freezer. That was a first for me and it showed in the final product. Instead of being light and fluffy, the ice was clumped together and at times a bit hard. As for the flavors, the pineapple was good and tasted true to the fruit. The lilikoi on the other hand was lacking the sharpness that I really enjoy. While they were natural flavors, the balance just was not there for me. The bottom line for me is that I would not head back here again in the future. Between the texture of the ice and the lackluster lilikoi flavor, this one just did not do it for me.
