A healthy and refreshing treat for the whole family! Reef Ice Cream was a big hit with our family! Reef is located in a parking lot and the truck is vibrant and inviting, beautifully decorated with lush green plants, making it super photo friendly. The ordering process is simple. You choose your base, pick the fruit you want blended in, and they make it fresh right in front of you. You can enjoy it in either a cone or a cup. There are a couple of picnic tables behind the truck that can comfortably seat about 10-12 people, which was nice for our family to sit and enjoy our treats together in the shade. Our only suggestion would be to add some shade for guests waiting in line. It gets pretty hot standing in direct sunlight, especially when there's a longer wait. That said, the quality, freshness, and healthier ingredients made it well worth the stop. Both the kids and the parents loved it, and we'd definitely recommend checking it out! read more

Reef’s Real Fruit Ice Cream - Strawberry and Pineapple, such a good mix! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

My friends and I were craving something cold to cool down on this hot summer day so we headed to Reef's Ice Cream Truck. They use New Zealand Ice Cream Machines to create their fresh fruit ice cream concoctions. You can choose between Vanilla or Coconut (Non Dairy) Base, between a cup or a Waffle Cone, and you can choose 1 or up to 3 fruits to swirl into your ice cream. I was going to go modest with 1 fruit but decided on the 3 fruit combo of Strawberry, Mango and Banana and it was a nice swirl of fruits and the coconut base and I think best enjoyed in the crispy Waffle Cone. I'm a sprinkle addict (a go to on my ice cream since childhood lol) so that was lacking for me but I noticed you can add various toppings like Oreos, Honey, Granola, Waffle cone crumbles, etc. I tried my friend's fruit choices and they were delicious! The Pineapple with Coconut Base tasted like a Dole Whip, the Banana was light and creamy and the Strawberry and Mango (which was close to mine) was delicious as well. They have outdoor seating in the back with a little bit of shade. The last time I came with a friend was evening when it was cooler but the ice cream definitely hit during the day and was refreshing for sure. read more

It was a hot day with no shade while waiting in line and a large family basically had a family member in front of us and cut in, so the wait was even longer. The person taking the order and making the ice cream were the same and they were kinda slow, but very nice. You can add up to three fruits, but getting a cone is extra money with the keiki size at $7 and the nui size at $10. Toppings are $0.75 each. To be honest I tried some real fruit ice cream elsewhere on the island and it was better, shaded and didn't cost extra to get a cone and they gave you more and it was $1 less. They have seating out front with no shade and a few shaded tables behind it but that large family took all three shaded tables so we found a tree nearby and ate there standing up. Overall, an ok experience, but good ice cream. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars. read more

This is absolutely one of the best ice cream shops on the island. I wish they brought this to Los Angeles, some of the most creative and unique and tastiest ice cream you've had in a long time you can choose your toppings. You can choose your fruit and the soft serve is absolutely refreshing in the Hawaii. Definitely recommend for all ice cream lovers The service was absolutely amazing as well. The young gentleman that assisted us was absolutely kind and helpful. read more

Super cute little spot! We came on a Friday evening and it was pretty busy. It was a one woman shop that day so definitely be patient. The lady working when we visited was so sweet.

Yummy ice cream! It's very light and refreshing on a hot summer day. They offer a variety of fruit combinations with two base choices: coconut or vanilla. We opted for all three with vanilla base, so I'm not sure how the coconut ones taste. We absolutely loved the vanilla ones and the flavor of the fruit in them. read more

AH-MAZING. This is a MUST visit when in Maui. My hubby and I could eat this everyday, several times a day. She takes either vanilla ice cream or coconut as the base and mixes in real fruit and then toppings if you like. It's so yummy!! My hubby got vanilla ice cream with banana and blueberry, with honey and graham cracker as the toppings -- all in a waffle cone. It was . I got coconut as the base and lychee and mango for the fruit. No toppings for me, wasn't needed. I got it in a small cup. Service was quick and the environment was absolutely adorable. She definitely has a green thumb and I'd ask to purchase a few of her plants I A little pricey but I am willing to pay for good food and healthy at that. Plus I like supporting little stand up/ small businesses. This was such a fun experience and my hubby and I will be back for more!! read more

Reef’s Real Fruit Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

It was my first time trying this and I enjoyed it. The ice cream is made with real fruit as you're able to choose up to 3 fruits and they add it to the ice cream you choose (vanilla or coconut), which gets processed through the machine they have. I chose mango, triple berry, and pineapple. It's a food truck run by 1 lady (at least when I went) in a food truck park (parking lot). There's a table outside the truck you can sit at. She was nice to explain how it works. She recommends the bigger size if sharing. We chose the smaller size. She had a bit of trouble getting the ice cream to come out of the machine, maybe because of my fruit choice causing the density to be too thick. As a result, the end product looked nothing like the pictures on social and looked like there was not much ice cream at all. After she gave me the ice cream, she was scooping the remains of the ice cream stuck in the machine screw and discarded it which she could have given to me. I felt skimped on. It's expensive (overpriced) for the amount you get. But that's Hawaii for you. read more

I appreciate that this place has dairy free options. We tried the coconut dairy free with pineapple and it was 10/10. Very refreshing and delicious, they use real fruit too. I really enjoyed it and would recommend. Staff was very friendly too. read more

Reef's Real Fruit Ice Cream is a welcome new treat spot in Kihei, bringing a taste of New Zealand-style ice cream to Maui. If you're not familiar, this style of ice cream blends a creamy base--vanilla or coconut, in this case--with your choice of fresh fruit, creating a swirl that's bright, flavorful, and made-to-order. You start by picking your size (keiki or nui), choose a cup or cone, then select your base before adding in the fruits you'd like mixed in. I went for the coconut (a dairy-free option) in a cone with mango and pineapple, which turned into a tropical, refreshing delight. It tasted much lighter than a vanilla ice cream and had bits of pineapple chunks in it. While it was good, I think I'd prefer it without the chunks and would probably choose something else in the future. My son ordered the vanilla base with blueberry and raspberry--sweet, tangy, and very refreshing. We both got the keiki size which I think was more than enough and would get the nui size if I was sharing with someone. You can also add extra toppings or mix-ins to customize your creation. Service was genuinely friendly, and the ice cream itself was fresh, vibrant, and the perfect cool-down after a long beach day. For anyone craving something unique yet island-inspired, Reef's is definitely worth a visit! read more

Cute, fun ice cream experience smack dab next to Maui Gardens in Kihei. Their branding is top notch; really shows that marketing and strategic positioning done right can elevate a product. They aren't competing with the 10 other shaved ice or ice cream places in the area - they have niched down even further for those people looking to eat fresh fruit or vegan. Great little shop. We will add this to the list of regular stops when we're in the area. read more

Reef's Real Fruit Ice Cream is a must-stop. I had the pineapple, mango, and strawberry in a waffle cone, and it was absolutely amazing. Super fresh, perfectly creamy, and bursting with real fruit flavor-not overly sweet, just pure and refreshing. The waffle cone was the perfect finishing touch. Simple, delicious, and totally worth it. read more

Super cute ice cream truck where you choose what fruits you want mixed into your vanilla or coconut ice cream! The folks working were super sweet and explained everything to us before we ordered. Small heads up that they don't clean the machines between orders so noticed the fruits definitely get mixed (just as a heads up for people with allergies! Maybe you can ask the to use a clean machine if you do!) read more

10/10 I loved everything about this experience. The food truck is so cute and aesthetically pleasing. The ice cream itself was exactly what I imagined it would be like- flavorful and not too sweet, just right. The texture is like soft serve and I loved the natural fruit inside. I got the coconut ice cream with strawberry, banana and pineapple mixed in. I love that it didn't make me feel heavy afterwards the way normal ice cream does. I also tried my mom's ice cream - she got the vanilla base and I have to say I prefer the coconut. read more

After months of admiring this place on my phone, finally made it there! Upon walking up we got asked if we were new, so she explained to us how to order. I was happy to see that there was a dairy free option as the people I came with were lactose intolerant. You pick your size, cup or cone, choose your ice cream, pick your fruit (as many as you want), then pick your toppings or mix ins. Step on the side & watch your ice cream be made. I went with the coconut base, strawberry & mango, no mix ins. Wow, just wow!! So fresh & light! Perfect for a hot Kihei afternoon. The parts are changed out after each use, so its nice that you never get flavors of others ice cream mixed with yours. Everyone else I was with loved theirs as well. If you are in the area, go here, you won't regret it! I will be back on my next trip home, no doubt about it! read more

This place holds up to the hype. Very good ice cream that you don't feel guilty at all about eating. Staff was very friendly. 100% must try.

My friends and I came on a Sunday, peak sunset time. Service was amazing! There was a pretty long line and there were only 2 people working so please be patient. You pick your size, if you want vanilla or coconut ice cream (coconut is dairy free), pick the fruits you want blended in, and the toppings for an extra price. I got vanilla ice cream with mango & banana w/ Oreos! It tasted like a dole whip, my favorite combo by far! It's a bit on the pricier side. I do wish that they had strawberry that day, but it tasted great nonetheless. The amount of ice cream that they put (even for the smallest size that they have) is a lot! read more

Yummy coconut ice cream that is isn't your typical soft serve! You choose your base vanilla or coconut ice cream and three fruit choices and your mix ins--and THEN this is where the magic happens they swirl in the fruit and mix ins! At first I must admit I was a little thrown off, Idky I kept thinking that I'd have my base with the toppings on top or on the side...it took a minute to get past that mindset and when I did I was able to appreciate the process. Nice evening snack after walking:) read more

We had heard about Reef's from one of our favorite servers at The Gazebo Restaurant, and added it to our list of must-try's while on that side of the island. It definitely lived up to her hype! The employees were super friendly and happy to answer any questions we had. I had ordered the pineapple lilikoi originally but the woman behind the counter recommended the mango lilikoi ice cream and I took her suggestion. I'm so glad I did! I had it with coconut ice cream and it was fabulous. I felt it was fairly priced and even had little tables to sit at and enjoy our cool treats on a warm day. read more

Wow! Amazing amazing amazing. I literally took one bite and moaned out loud it was that good. I immediately went up to the lady who was running it and told her it was incredible. It's the best ice cream I've ever had. It tastes like the fruit just came off the tree and the consistency is like no other. I'm floored and I want to go every day I have left of this trip. We are huge coconut Glen fans and always will be but this is definitely some steep competition. Now if only I could get it in Cali!

You gotta check this place out for ice cream or dessert after dinner at the other food trucks and a walk. It's super easy: 1) pick your size, 2) cup or cone, 3) choose your ice cream, 4) pick your fruit, 5) toppings or mix-ins. The owner's awesome, explained everything, and it's fast and friendly. Plus, his machines are spotless - he even changes everything out after each use. Fruits are fresh frozen and gets grind up with the ice cream you choose.
