    small shave ice
    Kacie S.

    Shave ice is sook soft. Literally melts in your mouth. Great unique and delicious flavors. great price for the size. Highly recommend condensed milk topping

    Best shaved ice

    The shaved ice was the best, there's no place like this in Cali. The snow cap ‍ I've never had anything like that before. My boyfriend got the Rainbow flavor ‍ it was the best because you get the banana flavor mixed with blue vanilla and pineapple but wait..... I did not know there was vanilla ice cream at the bottom.... AMAZING! If I had known, I would've gotten orange flavor. Great place to grab a few souvenirs. The girls that worked there were friendly.

    Delicious shaved ice. The mochi was yummy too. Affordable, local, and casual. Nothing fancy, but this does the job. Not a lot of options for shaved ice in the west side, this was one of the only places that came up. I'm also a tourist so wasn't sure how this was going to be, but was pleasantly surprised and extremely satisfied, would return if ever on the west side. Also, the small can be shared between two people at least!

    The best shave ice on the island

    Mountain Magic Shave ice is the best shave ice that I have found on the island, and trust me I have been on the hunt for years!! Their ice couldn't get any softer, they have all sorts of flavors that are made in house, not to mention all the toppings. DO NOT SKIMP ON THE TOPPINGS!! I love the ice cream, snow cap, azuki beans, and mochi. Also the sizes are huge. Two people could share a small easily. In my photo I have a small! Every time I am on west side I make sure to stop here!!

    If you're all the way out West, stop by! Giant servings, melt in your mouth, very fruity juices. We tried the lilikoi flavor, which was super nice. The ube snow cap was super creamy and delicious. The mochi was tasty and very plentiful. Generous servings. Some outdoor benches. Lots of parking.

    Hands down one of the best shaved ice spots I've ever been to. Their souvenirs are very beautiful I had to take some home with me lol. The customer service is A1, the vibes are welcoming, and the flavors? INSANE. Way better than Waiola Shaved Ice by a million each one explodes with flavor. 10/10 recommend

    Another stop on our Shave Ice Expeditions. In fact we went twice again in a short period of time. We went to the Makaha store tho I know I have been to the truck in Waikele probably a decade ago. But this place is great. Again, staff is efficient. The keiki is the best size for all of us because really who needs that much. I always sugar crash after. I have a hard time recommending flavors as we all have our own personal taste buds but I will say I dont see enough difference in the "cream" flavors for the upcharge. The ice texture is nice and soft how we like but again with that you have a bigger chance syrup wont make it all the way to the middle. Again, not a deal breaker for me unless its really bad. The root beer met my daughters approval which means its actually good. I like that they layer the toppings in the middle and on top. So I could get a good ration of mochi and shave ice all the way through my experience. We are in Makaha all the time so I am sure this will be standard, especially since the prices are reasonable.

    The menu!

    My cousin introduced me to this place for the first time a week ago and OMG.... I CANNOT WAIT TO COME BACK!!!!!!! I tried the shaved ice. I got the 3 flavors: strawberry, pineapple and guava, with snow cap (condensed milk), li-hing powder and mochi balls. OMG. they added mochi balls in the middle, layered at the bottom of the shaved ice and not just the top, i was happy about that lol the mochi balls were big and tasty, the flavor of the shaved ice was spot on and i can't wait to come back and try other flavors. Customer service was welcoming, fast & friendly, Ambience of the store was relaxed, lots of things to look at and purchase here, cute local apparel, hats, bags, swim wear all kinds!!!!!! Def recommend this place!!!!!!!! It's around the corner from Makaha Longs (cvs)!

    The BEST shave ice!! We been to a lot of shave ice places and let me just say- Mountain Magic Makaha is the VERY BEST!! Ice is so soft, flavors are always tasty!! Friendly workers, great staff, easy location to find, store has a lot of cute things to purchase from tourist to locals. This has been by far one of our most visited places monthly. We literally come here anywhere between 3-5 times a month & our daughters also come here just as much! Highly recommended. Won't be disappointed & guarantee you'll be back! Really is a hidden gem!! So if you know you know!! & us locals we know

    Everything is delicious, constantly craving this! Mochi is a must, kalo cream and haupia is my go to! Absolutely yummy! My wife really enjoys the "brown gravy" topping, which is puréed lemon peel. Limited time, so gotta get our fill!

    Love the wide menu options, so much to choose from! the service was really good and staff were super friendly and outgoing. Really nice place with so much to buy.

    Seats in front of the store to enjoy shave ice and/or ice cream on a hot day
    Edith S.

    Quick stop over to get shave ice after lunch today. Inexpensive treat. Got the Keiki die shave ice and hat was a lot. Keiki size starts at $4.50. Added vanilla ice cream for $1 and made it a snow cap (sweeten condensed milk on top) for another $1. Friendly service. Store is a little surf and souvenir shop as well with great deals. Was able to snag a seat out front. No need to worry about today.

Inside, there is a farmhouse vibe and about eight comfy booths. A case of baked goods draws your attention at the front counter. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere.

The portion of Garlic Chicken was huge (shareable). The coating was crispy but the sauce was overly sweet for me. Mac salad was good. I substituted the rice for green salad, which was fresh and delicious. My daughter had the Two Egg Breakfast came with four large pieces of bacon. She substituted rice for green salad. The eggs were perfectly cooked. Her breakfast was perfect. They do not have a kid's menu, so we shared our meals with my granddaughter, which was fine as we had a lot of food. Our server brought an extra plate for her. They serve ice cream and have a selection of beautiful desserts but we were full so will return to try out. There is a small private parking lot. The restaurant is walkable from the park/beach.

I was always a fan of Uncle Clay's House of Pure Aloha. Super sad when they closed some years back! Let me just say Island Shave Ice & Creamery is my new favorite! Sunset is the perfect blend of Strawberry, Pineapple, Banana - love the flavors, plus we upgraded to add Dole whip ice cream. Their mochi is the real kine mochi balls, super soft, and offsets the sweetness right when you need it! Grateful for the generous number of mochi balls. I peeped the ice cream and it looked creamy soft. Might have to order a pint to go next time since I'm pretty much a sucker for their shave ice now. I might try other flavors but already sold on the Sunset. The service is great, they even made sure to acknowledge us since they were still finishing up another order when we walked in. That is so rare these days and much appreciated! Love the intentionality behind the menu and the service here and will be sure to continue supporting this business. Divine timing today!

We had over estimated our ability to walk the heavy kayak down to the beach and the owner was very kind to assist us by loading it in his vehicle, while at the beach he introduced us to the life guard because he was concerned as there were strong winds/currents that day, and he also came to check in on us and helped drive the kayak back. We were super grateful for the effort he put in because it truly was exceptional. The boogie boards and snorkel gear were good quality and easy to carry if you're going to a local beach. If you do want to rent the kayaks, just make sure you have the transportation figured out. When we returned we also had some shaved ice which was some of the best we had during this trip. Very refreshing!

The coffee is always delicious, and they have, hands down, the best açaí bowls I've ever had. My go-to order is the Cacao Bowl paired with a Hawaiian Honey Latte, and it never disappoints.

If you're visiting Oʻahu or you're a local looking for an amazing coffee shop, Island Vintage Coffee is a must-visit. I can't recommend it enough!
