    Pete and his family have been an incredible blessing to our family and the entire community over the years. Pete's food is so delicious that we don't mind driving wherever his food truck is parked because the taste never disappoints. I remember one birthday, shortly after being diagnosed with cancer, my husband blindfolded me and led me to believe we were going out for a special treat. After being guided through a few doors and up a set of stairs, I guessed we were at a five-star restaurant in San Diego, given the 25-minute car ride. To my surprise, it was a catered event with impeccable service in our own home by Pete. The ambiance they created brought tears to my eyes. The table was set beautifully, the kids were at the neighbors, and my husband & I had a day off from the Navy. Everything was perfect, and Pete's kitchen will always have our support.

    It is truly an experience to work with Chef Pete Coleman. I was planning a girl's trip in Oceanside, CA. The first time my friends and I have seen each other since the pandemic. I wanted to plan something nice for us our first evening after a full day of traveling. During my first conversation with Chef Pete he listened and immediately caught my vibe and began making menu recommendations. Everything he recommended was right on par. Only one change had to be made a little later in the process but he was so very flexible. Chef Pete and April were prompt upon arriving to the location. Their attire was of culinary professionalism. They were attentive, attuned to our needs. The food was exquisite. Each course filled with so much flavor. The wine pairings were phenomenal. My only negative is probably only how rowdy my crew and I got towards the end of the amazing dinner. The food was spectacular, the drinks were flowing and the music we piped in had us in high spirits. I only hope Chef Pete and April will consider having us again.

    Great tasting shaved ice options to choose from. Be sure to get your fav flavor/s with a scoop of…read morevanilla ice cream and the sweet cream topping. Get at least a size medium. You won't regret it. Try their spam musubi as snack while you wait for your dessert to be created. Excellent, quick service from behind the counter. Lots of free parking in the lot just a couple steps North of this establishment. A must have when visiting Carlsbad Village!

    As close as you can get to the islands and stay in SD. First off I have to say after many trips to…read moreHawaii over the years and a regular of Scandi's in Kona nothing beats shaved ice on the islands. However when that craving hits Aloha ice does not disappoint in meeting that shaved ice fix. While most places are advertising "Hawaiian shaved ice" and you end up with a sad snow cone this place is using the legit ice shavers. And if you think shaved ice is the same as a snow cone you're better off saving your money and just go lick a block of ice. Anyway this place uses the proper methods has authentic flavors and does everything right. Short walk from the beach in Carlsbad village it is a perfect treat on a hot summer day. Parking in that area can be tough in the summer so not sure it's worth the effort if thats your only destination. Couple of times I have been it was pretty busy and the staff has been friendly, but might benefit from a 3rd employee taking orders. Usually is 2 people working, taking turns taking orders then going to make it while the 2nd person helps the next person in line. This is fine but if it busy this can cause the line to back up a bit. Overall great shaved ice and fills that desire for the islands without the 5hr flight but ultimately that is the biggest problem with it, you're enjoying it on the beach in San Diego instead of the beach in Hawaii
