Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice is a shave ice shop started by Ululani and her husband David. 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.

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.

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 probably would've gone more if we weren't so full from all the other good eats on the island. On our 1st visit, we ordered Ube cheesecake, cookie butter & Bavarian cream. All were delicious but Ube was our fave. So on our 2nd visit, we ordered Ube (again), crème brûlée & peanut butter cup. Again, it was all so good. Sabrina & John were super friendly. They interacted with their customers with so much aloha. It was also Sabrina's birthday one of the days we came by so she shared extra malasadas & even gave me a rose from her birthday bouquet. How sweet was that?! When you have delicious items plus great service, that would make you want to keep supporting the business.

I tracked her down to her new location on the west side of the "food paradise" in Kihei. They are sold in 3's. They are made to order and you select the sugar and filling on each one. This is incredible customer service. Each malasada is large and filling and the fillings are delectable. There are tables nearby, but I usually take them home to enjoy while watching my Dodger games. Do not miss out on this treat when you visit Maui. If I'm 3 bills by winter, this will be why! Just in time for whale season!

My husband got the Hawaiian Scampi (garlic shrimp) which also had fabulous flavors. We both enjoyed the crab Mac and the portions were generous. This place is totally worth checking out.

The seating and clean up is all self service with plenty of space to sit. There are also lots of choices for food and dessert from the other trucks near by too.

Five Stars - A Sweet Maui Treat Worth Returning For!…read more This was our family's first visit to Tobi's Shave Ice, and it definitely won't be our last! As first-timers, I asked the staff for a recommendation and decided to trust their expertise. Great decision. I ordered the High Surf, and it was absolutely delicious--refreshing, flavorful, and exactly what you want after a day in the Maui sun. One of my daughters chose to add soft serve underneath her shave ice, which was a combination I had never tried before. It sounded unusual at first, but after a few bites, I completely understood why it's so popular. The creamy soft serve paired perfectly with the light, fluffy shave ice. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and happy to help us navigate the menu. Their enthusiasm added to the experience and made us feel right at home. Beyond the shave ice itself, the atmosphere was part of what made this stop special. Sitting outside in a charming small-town setting with a relaxed island vibe made it feel like more than just a dessert stop--it was an experience. The shave ice was fantastic, the service was great, and the overall vibe was exactly what we hoped for during our Maui visit. We're very happy we gave Tobi's a try and would absolutely return the next time we're on the island. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike!
