Such an awesome spot to try shave ice! They have insanely good flavors - my personal favorite was Tropical Breeze. The ice is so soft it literally melts in your mouth, easily one of the best on the island. Service was super fast and friendly. The location is perfect too - close to downtown and parking, which is always a plus. Prices are are pretty much the same as everywhere else on the island. Highly recommend this place for its service and ambiance! read more

This place is decent. It's still excellent shave ice and worth going to, although there are better places in Kauai. Here was the ranking from our recent trip to the island (June 2026): Kauai Shave Ice Rankings 2026 1. (Tied) North Shore Bowls in Kilauea - very enjoyable and creative pre-designed flavor combos, nice fluffy ice, good ice cream, flavorful syrups 1. (Tied) Wailua Shave Ice - very enjoyable and creative pre-designed flavor combos, delicious toppings, very good ice texture and ice cream; too light on the syrup for one of our two trips 3. Wishing Well in Hanalei - good fluffy ice and really flavorful natural syrups; downside is it's very crowded (always!) and pretty basic 4. JoJo's in Hanalei - this is a standard shave ice place; ice was a bit compact and icy, but the syrup was plentiful (maybe too much, if you can believe that, for our one visit) and the ice cream was both generous and good 5. Hee Fat in Kapaa - great flavors but the syrup was light coverage, and the ice cream seemed gummy/freezer burned, ice was decent texture; used to be our favorite in Kauai in years past, but it hasn't kept up with other places and maybe the quality has gone down hill 6. Honu Shave Ice in Kapaa - syrup was very light, almost nonexistent on one of our shave ices, ice was clumpy/chunky, ice cream was really minimal, flavors were decent read more

Wasn't the biggest fan unfortunately. Personal preference but didn't enjoy the fruity flavors with vanilla icecream. Looked very pretty and service was great however didn't enjoy the combo. Tried for the experience. read more

We've been to 3/5. We were here 2 summers ago. There r some differences. Sizes are smaller but so r the prices. Also they omitted a scoop of macadamia nut ice cream e cream and replaced it w a vanilla scoop. You do have the option of adding chopped macadamia nuts. You can customize your choice but it's easier to go off the menu of various combos. I do recommend the Haupia topping. A sweet coconut sauce. When the Haupia, ice cream and syrups are mixed together it's heavenly. read more

Why did we order the regular sized one? Cuz we dumb! Or maybe it was $$$ for ice. Slamming flavors and definite does the job of cooling you down. Lilikoi, mango, strawberry with macadamia nut ice cream. This is my favorite combination! Take out only and can eat while walking or sit on the picnic table across from the ordering window. read more

Returning from our short but treacherous hike on the Kalalau Trail for a view of Napali Coast earlier, we made a stop at Ching Young Village in Hanalei. We had an early lunch then walked around looking at the various shops. I spied JoJo's. Anybody for shaved ice? Ordered - * hubby got the root beer float * daughter & I both went with Locals North Shore - three tropical flavors and macadamia nut ice cream on the bottom. We all got the Dakine size which is the kiddie size but it was very generous. There's outdoor seating. I'm not a huge fan of shaved ice but it was a nice day. And a great way to cleanse our palates after our earlier meal. Overall 3.5 stars read more

To be perfectly honest, this was the best shaved ice that I've had in a long time. The portion size and that crazy syurp. . The only reason its not a 5 star is the guy making my order was pitting off negative energy. Which to a point I understand that we all have our days. But at least put an effort to be cordial to a customer. read more

Nice shave ice shop located north shore Hanalei in Kauai. Ice cream is included with your shave ice. https://jojosshaveice.com/jojos-shave-ice-menu/ The shave ice had small chunky ice randomly dispersed throughout the ice shavings. This shouldn't happen. That said, the overall ice shavings were satisfactory. The flavored syrup was ok. We got Tropical Breeze flavor that consisted of passion fruit and mango.The passion fruit did not taste like passion fruit, nor did the mango flavor. It did have a pleasant tropical-like flavor. Overall, if you need to get Shave ice in Hanalei, JoJo's Shave Ice is an option. read more

Such a cute lil shop. The guy taking our order and making the shave Ice was super nice and some how we found common ground with where we're from because he likes our state basketball team. We chatted and talked before getting our shave ice and they were so good. I def recommend coming back for the service and the sweet treat! read more

JoJo's Shave Ice - Lilo and Stitch - Shaved Ice Near Me - Hanalei, Hawaii

JoJo's was another spot that came highly recommended and as a lover of shave ice, of course I had to check it out. This location is in a little shopping center and is conveniently located right off the parking lot. It's a cute little stand with some unique flavors and large portions. Large meaning they only come in either 28 oz or 40 oz making it ideal for sharing. I went with the Locals South Shore and have to say it was very good and the Mac nut ice cream at the bottom was a great addition and left me wanting more. The prices range from about $9-12 depending on size and while that's a little more than I'm used to, it is decent for the size and remembering that this is located in a tourist area. I would also echo this recommendation. read more

There's an abundance of shave ice shops on the island and I decided to try JoJo's out of curiosity and the good reviews. I've had my fair share of shave ice and will say that I was not a fan. The texture is on the icey side for sure and the syrup flavor was very faint. It's a cute little shop with a sweet staff, but the actual shave ice I was not a fan of. read more

great shaved ice and great people! and for it being so busy, they were quick with everything!

Decently sized snowcone with a scoop of ice cream at the bottom. We went when they were about to close & only had 2 workers so it was maybe a 10 min wait to order but the staff was super nice. Really liked their homemade macadamia nut ice cream! read more

WOW. not understanding the rating of this location because the girl that took our order and made our shave ice was super quick and nice! There was a wait / line on a Monday but she was still super fast for it being only one person manning the whole process - order & making the shave ice. We got #4 and #16. Haupia Cream & Mac Nut Ice cream. WOW. so good. We tried 4 shave ice places all over this island and Jojo's stuck to me because of the mac nut ice cream and cream.... the portion size was good too. definitely more icey than snow though - if you want snow ice then definitely try Skinny Mike's. If you don't care for it being a bit more icey, then this place!!! read more

There are a lot of cute shops in Hanalei when you are driving back from hiking the Napali Coast Trail. Jojo's had a good line in front of it, and an extensive menu of shave ice. I probably chose the wrong flavor (coffee). It didn't have much flavor, and I would choose a different one if I could do it again. Ice cream at the bottom of shave ice is a must for me, so it was good to get that, but as someone else said, not too flavorful. After you do a hike, shave ice is a good treat. It might be good to stick with the classics (rainbow, etc.). read more

Jojos shaved ice taste amazing! They have lots of different options and incredible gluten free options! I got the lilo and stich which included blue raspberry and red raspberry which had the perfect amount of sour and sweet, top with sweet vanilla ice cream at the bottom. The workers could have been a bit more friendly, but overall I had a great experience at Jo Jo's Shaved ice! read more

Service is fast & friendly. *On a hot afternoon during the high tourist season in August, it was surprisingly quick! Located in the Ching Young Village shopping center. There is a convenient public parking lot. read more

BBQ ribs..falloff the bone delicious. Very good sized portions.. we couldn't finish...and we tried!!

WOW! The best shave ice I've had in my life. I got the lilo & stitch & the makai. Both phenomenal. I did prefer the makai over lilo & stitch but both great options. The ice cream at the bottom ties all the flavors perfectly. We went twice during our trip. The first time someone in my party got the lilo & stitch with coconut ice cream instead of the vanilla. The second time, he ordered the same thing but the cashier (different from the first time) said he couldn't swap out the flavor of the ice cream. We thought the was weird. Jojo's is in the heart of Hanalei. You're surrounded by green luscious mountains, amazing shops, & great restaurants. The perfect spot to be in! I would rate the place a 100/10 if I could! read more

It was pretty hot and wanted to enjoy something cold so we hit up JoJo's; heard good things about it prior prior to leaving the mainland. It was pretty busy and waited in a long line, understandable though, it was super hot. Regardless waited 15 mins in line and then 10 more after ordering, so pretty steep for just one shaved ice. We ordered the Colada special, the smaller sized one. It was really good, so i get the attraction of the place, but, for that wait time, i probably wouldn't wait in line. There was not too much seating, and it was very crowded within its respective area. So expect to either enjoy it while walking around, or look at other tables from nearby locations. (Which there is plenty of) read more

JoJo's Shave Ice - Colada Special (Dakine) - Shaved Ice Near Me - Hanalei, Hawaii

Pretty solid shave ice! My girl and I were craving for a shave ice since landing from our flight. We found this joint in a tourist plaza. It is smack in the middle of the plaza, which is a great spot for business. The ambiance is always busy and the servers are always friendly. The lady that accommodates us recommended a lilikoi (local fruit) and guava combination. It was outstanding! So flavorful and refreshing in a Hawaii weather :) The only reason why I didn't have a perfect score because the ice it's not full shaved and chunks of ice is still present, but overall.. one of the best shave ice in Kauai, hands down :) read more

This place was great! Big portions and filled with plenty of syrup. Surprisingly really loved the root beer float! We also got a fruity concoction that was delicious and refreshing. Line can be long but I'd say the turnaround time was about 5 min. There are shops nearby to pass the time if you get antsy. I think you can split the normal size between 2-3 people and the bigger size between 3-5 in my opinion. read more

Well, we were looking for some shave ice after leaving the Hanalei bread company for after lunch snack. He stopped in at JoJo Shave ice across the street at the Ching Young Village Shopping Center; right next to chicken and a barrel. I chose this place because from what I read they use cane sugar and not high fructose corn syrup. I neglected to verify that, but I will next time. There were picnic table seating for anyone dining in the area and a few counter seating right there in front of JoJo's where we sat. The young man that took our order was very pleasant and friendly. I ordered "Da small" A Lotta Colada w/ PINA', STRAWBERRY' & VANILLA' COLADA flavors and Haupia (coconut) cream for $7.99. All comes with some vanilla ice cream at the bottom. My hubby ordered Da Small Makai w/ COCONUT & PINEAPPLE flavors. For a small they are pretty nice size. They had a lot of flavor. Melted in your mouth. I found mine melted faster because it was in the sun in the cup. But my husband did not. We were entertained by chicken and her family up eight little ones. All in all it was very refreshing and we will return to a JoJo's shave ice elsewhere to see if they keep it consistent. As I understand there's more than just one location on the island. read more

Jojos shave ice was absolutely phenomenal! They have an incredible assortment of diffrent flavor combos such as Rainbow, Root Beer, and Pina Colada (My personal favorite). The location that my party attended was very convenient and pretty, and the ambiance was very fun with a lively vibe. The service itself was wonderful, friendly, and fast considering there was a long, overwhelming line. The shaved ice itself was really refreshing, and the personal touch of putting vanilla ice cream at the bottom is so creative and yummy. In my personal opinion, Jojos Shave Icd is the best shave ice out on the island and if yo have the opportunity to visit: 100% go! Returned multiple times in Kauai and will be returning next time! read more

Best shaved ice chain on the island. They are unique because to put macadamia nut ice cream on the bottom, makes it even more delicious! Reasonable prices too! Can be a bit slow when they have a slew of customers, but you're in Hawaii--Enjoy the surrounding view. read more

So ridiculous!! We tried to order at 7:50 with a closing time of 8pm on Wed, Jan 7th. We were told they could not place our order because they had other orders. We even let then know that we were leaving to go back home in the morning. Customer service -1. read more

Tasty treat and lots of options to choose from. They offer shave ice and ice cream or a mixture of both. We tried three different shave ices and picked our own flavors. The flavors were each unique and not overly sweet which is a plus. Prices are average for shave ice and service is quick. It's a walk up stand with limited seating but there are nearby picnic tables for larger families and groups. read more

We got in line at 7:35pm. We waited 15 minuets for the person at the window to announce that the customer at the register would be the last person they would be serving at 7:50pm. Shop says it closes at 8pm and as I write this it says they are open for 5 more minutes. If you are closing up early, tell people as they enter the line. Horrible customer service. read more

Decent shaved ice but unlike powdered snow. We tried #15 "local special" and shared the 28 oz for $9.+. It had good coconut flavor with guava. There are outside tables to eat your sweet dessert. The 29 oz was plenty big for the 2 of us. At the bottom was the vanilla Mac nuts ice cream. Great for a hot day. read more

This is our 4th visit to Hanalei and a stop at Jojo's used to be a must. The last time we were here you could order custom flavors and they didn't all have ice cream. We assumed the haupia ice cream was dairy free but apparently not. So we ordered 2 different preset flavors and asked for no ice cream. What we got for $10 each was a little bit of ice that was only half covered with some syrup. The middle and bottom was just plain ice in both cups. Such a waste of money. We're looking for another go-to shave ice place. read more

Can't go to Hawaii and leave without a shave ice! Jojo's was pretty good!

Be sure to get their in-house vanilla crème on whatever you order! read more
