    Shave Ice menu
    Reef A.

    Took out Rainbow Shave Ice and Strawberry Mango Ice Wave. I think tasted better than last time especially on a hot day (lol!). Was very refreshing. Employee was helpful in selecting items and I didn't have to wait too long to get my order. The takeout items only came in the larger sizes but we didn't mind. The place is clean but wish there was more seating to eat.

    My son and mister enjoyed their cheesecake. I ordered the shave ice with vanilla soft serve and boy was it SWEET!!! They carry cute kawaii toys. Everything about this shop is cute! Hence, the name of their business. Workers are super friendly, they were patient waiting for me to decide having so many choices. Service was fast. Paid almost $30 for our 3 items.

    Cute little spot next door to foodland. Decided to stop here after eating at Maili's Chinese. I just wanted a simple strawberry shave ice with ice cream. Now that bowl was way too big for me, but its okay. The syrup was very sweet and im sure others would love that. Im not a sweets person, but it was good. Now their soft serve ice cream was delicious. I wish I was brave enough to try all those other sweet treats they offer. They also sell blind boxes and have a few tables outside for seating.

    Fast & friendly service! The store is already so cute with lots of merch and personal displays to look at while you wait for your order. We ordered the large fruity pebbles ice wave to go, and it was so good! I want to say I can't wait to try another flavor, but this one was so good I might have to get it again!

    Update review as they moved... No longer located in Hawaii Kai as they moved to Mililani Shopping Center (the one with Ross and Foodland) since May 2025 and yes including the fun phone booth as well. What they also have is "Kawaii Kollective" a section filled with various cute items including Pop Mart items. You can find them right beside Foodland just look for the pink walls that's so easy to find. Though what we're all here for is their cool treats like Ice Waves their version of shave ice as it's layers of fresh fruits, cheesecake, and soft serve making it a royal cup of goodness though they also have Sundaes, Soft Serve, simple shave ice or what I usually get is their float. Their float is a bit slushy that will certainly give you brain freeze as it's their shave ice with the soda of your choice (Strawberry Soda for me) topped with soft serve has me lost in Ice Wave happiness. Thank you!

    Let's indulge in a sweet creation on a humid day! Strawberry Mango Ice Wave photo on the menu looked appealing. I'm not thrilled that my large dessert didn't look like the photo. No heaping top. Employee offered a plastic cover. However, I declined stating that I will eat here. The strawberries and mangoes were competing for taste where tartness slowly replaced sweetness. Sweetened condensed milk and soft serve ice cream didn't subdue the tart. I've tried the Mango Cheesecake at prior location in Kalihi-Kapālama area and the ice wave was amazing! I'm aware, next time, go for Mango Cheesecake or Strawberry Cheesecake, it doesn't vie for flavor. Ice wave took a while to melt as I consumed half of it in the shop and the rest at home. There's only one employee to make desserts. If there's a few people in line, be prepared to wait. Telephone booth offers photo ops. Feel free to check out their Labubu merchandise in the shop (not pictured). Free parking in the Mililani Shopping Center. Methods of payments accepted are cash and cards. Halo Halo, soft serve and sundaes look fabulous! I wonder if it's yummy as advertised in the photos.

    Didn't know what to expect when first walking in here. Place looked pretty cool and figured we had some time to kill so took my daughters here to try it out. It was amazing. Everything was demolished. Didn't realize every cover was an extra charge for to go cups. Just a heads up in case they ask you that. Other than that the dessert was ono and I'd definitely go back to get more next time in the area.

    Visited twice @ this Mililani location and you still need to pay by cash only. I really miss the business that was here before. To me it's a bit pricy for soft serve. To be able to use a credit card to bump up my miles, I would honestly go a couple doors down to RC or drive to McD just down the block.

    Happy to see an outpost of Kawaii Ice Wave open up here in Mililani. I don't mind driving, but the Hawaii Kai location can be a bit of a hike. This place next to Foodland has hosted a variety of sweet frosty treat places, so I hope this one sticks. We didn't actually get the signature Ice Wave this time - my son just wanted plain shave ice and I tried the soft serve. There are several varieties of soft serve available, and I got ube/vanilla swirl. It comes with one topping free so I opted for oreo. It's cookie dust, which can be messy, but is a nice change from cookie chunks elsewhere. The shave ice menu is kept behind the counter, so you have to ask to see the flavors. You can get up to 3 flavors. The rainbow is blue vanilla, banana, and strawberry, but the staff kindly swapped in pineapple for my kiddo. Consistency might be a bit off. My soft serve was smaller than photographs and those made for other customers, and had some gaps in the middle. If I'm going to spend more than $6 for a treat, maybe I'll go with a better value item with more components for just a little more money. Cash or venmo only - no cards accepted currently. Tons of parking in the lot. Some seating indoors and outdoors.

    Soft serve, Ube swirl , strawberry. Bingsu with strawberries and mangos? Add in a labubu too? Yup this place is delicious. It's quaint, needs a few more seating areas, but so happy to see a place that brings the community out. It was a nice Father's Day dessert after lunch.

    Our favorite dessert spot in Mililani. Portions are great for the price and it's dairy free!

    Great treat on a hot day. The combos of fruit, snow, and ice cream are delicious. Service is attentive but slow when it gets busy because each one is made as orders come in. Only drawbacks is that it's quite pricey. Makes sense given the fresh fruit but still.

    Mango fruity pebbles, Mango & Lychee, all Mango and Mango cheesecake. Was so yummy

    Super embarrassed to say that I'm always on the West side and this is the first time I've tried…read morethis place (face palm). 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.

The syrups tasted really good and refreshing, making it the perfect way to cool down. The service was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The staff were kind and helpful while we ordered. If you're in Oahu and craving something sweet and refreshing, this shaved ice food truck is definitely worth a stop.

They have soany flavors but I landed on Guava, watermelon and Green Apple. The Guava was by the best flavor I had. It was full of glavor and it was hitting just right. The watermelon was okay and the green apple was way to sweet. Service: The staff was chill and relaxed but they move fast. The line is long but it goes so quick you almost done have time to shop for other items they sell. Atmosphere: This is the best part. Its mainly an outdoor seating setup surrounded by other shops and tables. Its a really cool place. Loved every minute of it. Some people say its overrated but I enjoyed myself. Location: Its located in Oahu, Hawaii in the North Shore. Price: Its on average about $10 per person.

It might even be called "cheap" but truly a delightful treat on a hot day. We waited for about 15 mins, you place your order, pay, and you see them put together your deliciousness behind the glass mirror. After you're done enjoying your afternoon delight, go check out the merch. Another fairly priced store filled with great gifts for yourself or friends and family!!! Parking is such a breeze too.
