Nothing can beat Ululani. Hands down the best shaved ice EVER.  I've tried different shaved ice…read moreplaces all over the different islands and no place is as good as Ululani. In fact, my main highlight of going to Maui was just to get some Ululani again. The shaved ice is so smooth that it tastes almost creamy. I like to get the snowcap and linghing powder on top. My favorite flavor is green tea that pairs really well with the snowcap; tastes like matcha froyo! It's located in the same plaza as Safeway. It's one of the quieter locations in Maui. There were no lines and plenty of indoor seating. They also sell merchandise here such as clothes and even shaved ice syrup.

The…read morebusiness began by serving at community events and private parties and now has multiple locations across Hawaii and the mainland. This location is in Kahului near the airport on the side of a building. There's a window to order and just one table to sit and enjoy. You can choose a base ice cream, up to three flavors, and then some toppings. We got the keikis ($7.25) with macadamia nut ice cream, mango strawberry passionfruit flavors, and topped with condensed milk. I liked that the ice cream had nut bits and the syrups tasted natural and were not overly sweet and artificial. Of all the shave ice shops I've had in Hawaii this is consistently my favorite one.

They don't have any hot food items like the rest of the food trucks, but cater moreso to those that would like beverages and cold treats. They've got soda, water, shave ice, coffee, and ice cream. I grabbed a cookie monster shave ice one day after spending the day at the beach to treat my little one. It was your pretty standard shave ice and I could taste a bit of the oreo flavor, but it could've used a little more syrup. Other than that, my little guy enjoyed it. I've been really into espresso floats lately and I noticed they had a coffee float available. I simply can't resist coffee and ice cream. Mmmhmmm, it's totally a thing and I was stoked to see it on their menu! What I appreciate is that they use Maui Oma Coffee, a local coffee company that sources quality beans from around the world and in Hawaii. The coffee float itself was pretty good. I would've liked a bit more sweetness, but overall, I would get it again as not many offer it on their menu in town.

I got the small lychee shave ice, which was incredible, and topped with coconut condensed milk. There was a layer of vanilla ice cream (a sweet and delightful surprise), but this is what makes their shave ice different. I think what would make this place even better is more flavors! My friends also got POG juice and coconut water -- both refreshing! The worker was a lovely gentleman who was very easy to talk to and just a positive person overall.

We tried the banana cream pie and Olawalu lime pie (not pictured) to-go on two separate instances. The banana cream pie is fantastic. I'm usually not one for bananas or pies, but the delicate flavor of the banana and airy cream won me over. The lime pie was a little less outstanding. The lime flavor was delicate, but the texture of the filling was neither airy nor custard-y enough. The restaurant is cozy and inviting, and I'm sure you could take in the vibe if dining in. Even if not dining in, definitely do try at least once during your trip to Maui.

TIKI DAVE and family loves TIN ROOF MAUI!…read more While our cruise ship was in port, we stopped in after I did some serious research to settle upom Tin Roof and boy were we glad! Holy smokes, that Mochicko Chicken [Hawaiian-style fried chicken made by marinating bite-sized chicken pieces in a sweet and savory soy-garlic batter featuring mochiko (sweet rice flour) before deep-frying] is the bomb! Super crispy bits, amazing flavor, served over garlic noodles...man alive, if you are in Maui and don't grab takeout here, you may as well not go to Maui. It is takeout only and my wife didn't want fried food so she ordered something from the Mexican joint across the parking lot. Since she ordered food there, we figured it'd be ok to eat our heavenly chicken dishes there....NOPE; we were asked to leave. BOO. So we finished, well, the kids finished on the way to nearby Kanaha Beach Park and I finished mine there under the airport and within sight of our ship. It really is a lovely beach. TIKI DAVE from TIKI DAVE'S TERRIFIC TRIPS highly highly recommends TIN ROOF! I will be dropping a video of our experience shortly!

Located in a corner of the Maui Swap Meet lies the best shave ice we had while on our trip there…read more Maui Girlz Shave Ice is an unassuming food truck serving cold, flavorful shave ice for cheap, which is a great treat to have while walking around the sprawl of tents in the market. To get to this truck you have to enter the market which has good parking availability and only costs 25 cents to enter. Even if you're not interested in what the swap meet has to offer, the trip and cost of admission are still worth it to have some. We had the POG with a snow cap and a strawberry with a snow cap and absolutely loved the taste. The ice has a great powdery texture and the syrup soaks right into it with ease. The rest of our group got a whole bunch of different flavors and everyone was extremely happy with what they got. The service was quick and there's a small seating area with a tent so you can cool off. The best part of all of this is the pricing. You would think for $4 each you would be getting some average tasting shave ice but no, this shave ice was phenomenal. Maui is a place where prices can be high just for it being, well, Maui, so we greatly appreciate a good deal when we see it. Altogether a 10/10 experience, we greatly recommend it!
