Pros: * Free parking with lots of parking spaces around the area * Plenty of space to sit and enjoy your shave ice * Right next to Snoopy's Surf Shop * Very affordable * Tons of flavors to choose from Cons: * The shaved ice itself was a little hard and not as soft/fluffy as I expected * The flavors tasted a little artificial, although still enjoyable since we love sweets * The line was LONG and the wait was pretty lengthy Overall, I'm glad we finally tried it just to see what the hype was about. If you're already exploring Haleiwa, it's an easy stop--especially since Snoopy's Surf Shop is right next door!

The lilikoi gave it that lovely tart hit, the mango and pineapple brought the tropical sweetness, and the condensed milk made the whole thing creamy without taking over. Soooo good. According to N, this was closer to the real Hawaii shave ice experience. I am clearly not qualified to referee the great shave ice debate ;) I just know I happily demolished mine. $8, huge bowl, three flavors, condensed milk, North Shore sunshine. No complaints from me !!!

Went to Ted's everyday that I was staying in the North Shore and everything we had was delicious…read more For breakfast I loved the spam egg and cheese sandwich, so good! We also tried the loco moco which was great, but it's quite a bit of food. I shared with my partner and we weren't able to finish it. One of my friends who used to live in Honolulu told me I HAVE to get the garlic shrimp and Ted's is where it's at. She was absolutely right about that!!! Best garlic shrimp I had on the trip. I wish I could go back just for the plate. We also tried the chocolate haupia pie which was delicious & the plain glazed was soooo light and fluffy. Plenty of parking in the lot & access to a public restroom. It can get busy but they're very quick with your food. Seating is outside under an umbrella.

When in the North Shore you've gotta stop at Ted's!…read more Ordered: Chocolate Haupia Cream Pie: 4.5/5 Surprise to no one that I ordered this. Honestly I liked it! I didn't think it was too sweet especially for the hour I went and got this. It's almost a little lighter than a cheesecake consistency wise so I think one slice is actually more filling than you think. It could be shareable. But the whip cream balances out the richness nicely. Loco Moco: 4/5 - My first official loco moco! It was quite tasty! Definitely a hearty meal and this one is good to feed two people easily my god. Realistically great for the price. Service: Fast during the time I went. The line was short in the morning but once I got my food it was out the door. I'd say however it moves quickly. There's plenty of seating. They even have an extra back space where the restrooms are. They have a parking lot but most people parked on the road probably assuming there wasn't space. Glad to have tried a classic!

Aloha General Store deserves a lot more attention for its shave ice. While many visitors head to…read morethe famous spots in Haleʻiwa, this little gem quietly serves one of my favorite shave ice on the North Shore. For just $5, the small size is actually pretty generous. Even better, it comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream hidden at the bottom, making it an incredible value. I chose Melona, strawberry, and coconut, and all three flavors were vibrant, refreshing, and not overly sweet. The shave ice itself was soft, fluffy, and melted perfectly in your mouth. The store also sells souvenirs and gifts, but I came strictly for the shave ice, and I'd happily come back just for that. It's refreshing, affordable, and surprisingly underrated. If you're in Haleʻiwa and looking for a delicious shave ice without the long lines, don't overlook Aloha General Store. It may not be the most talked-about spot, but it definitely deserves a place on your shave ice list.
