    Watermelon, Strawberry, Banana Shave Ice

    A must visit while visiting the Po'ipu area on Kaua'i Island. Refreshing shave ice with many flavors and variations. Even recommended by the local brah's! The ice didn't have a chance to melt before my honey took it out like a champ! Shoots! Good place and good people! Stay blessed!

    Very pleased with their soft shave ice and delicious fruity flavors. I especially love a vanilla center with pog. Portions are big enough to share.

    Shave ice was subpar; customer service was severely lacking. I believe the only words she said to us were "let me know if you have questions". After we ordered, while we waited, after we paid.... Nothing...

    Absolutely LOVED Uncle's shaved ice. We came here a total of 3 times to try different flavors. Although the photos look like it's some genetic carnival snow cone, these are much more than that. The ice is very fine and the flavors are also really unique such as lilikoi, Guava, Melon, Lychee, etc. The best part though is the Mac Nut ice cream on the bottom which goes so well with the shaved ice. We tried. 1. Island Nectar: Tried this first and it was incredible! Huge enough to feed 2 people easily. My fiance and I loved the Lilikoi and Guava the most. 2. Noka'ai: Also super good! I liked the coconut flavor and how creamy it was by my fiance doesn't really like coconut so we felt the Island Nectar was slightly better but it's all flavor dependent on what you like. 3. Custom: We decided we liked the three flavors Melon, Guava and Lilikoi the best with a cream cap and Mac Nut ice cream. This combo was the best! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, the entire shaved ice is so worth it for $11. It was so refreshing and it goes so well with the ice cream. A must try!

    Super friendly. TONS of flavor combinations to choose from. My kids beg for this everyday and while we're visiting, I'm like, go for it!

    It's more a 4.5 than 5, but I didn't just want to give 4. It's mostly about the Shave consistency for me, and this was composer and soft with no icy parts. They had great flavor combinations with great mac nut ice cream. It was served in a bowl, not a cup so much less messy than typical. All should be served this way!!!

    Really awesome shave ice with super flavorful syrups and good ice consistency. I would skip the Mac Nut ice cream but everyone else raved about it so what do I know? Great, friendly service and a refreshing treat. They have outdoor seating as well.

    My first shaved ice experience on the island of Kauai, so I can't compare it to the others on the island, but it was better than anything I have ever gotten in the states FOR SURE. The shaved ice was so soft and melted in your mouth. The flavors were great and lasted the whole time. Here, they shave ice in one layer, then add flavor, then add more layers of ice, then top off with more flavor. All my experiences in the past with shaved ice is that there is always just plain ice at the bottom, but not here!! Pricing is on the higher end, but the sizes are very generous. I would share between at least one other person or even two. I shared with my husband and we barely could get through it all. Staff was friendly when we were there, but felt a little rushed since the location we went to was so small and there was a big line. It very much a take and go kind of place. Keep that in mind when you go!

    This is a must check out shave ice. So many unique and delicious flavors with all syrups made in house. Even the custom ice blocks are made in house. We went here two times and tried multiple flavors including pina colada, Hawaiian rainbow, and many others. Get one with ice cream at the bottom it really is next level. Service is a little slow because they custom make each one and there is usually a line out the door. They only allow 1 party in at a time but it's well with the wait. They are also super friendly. The place itself is a small shop so there is only outside seating but I highly recommend trying this shave ice on your next visit.

    Yummy! Great service and really good quality shave ice. Watch out for brain freeze. I am sure we will be back again soon.

    I always come here when in Kauai because they have macadamia nut ice cream as an option in their Hawaiian shaved ice. Sooo yummy. Nit picky stuff, but I always wish the ice cream was a little more accessible from the first bite. I like bites with somewhat equal parts ice cream and shaved ice, but this one is stacked so high you really have to dig to get to the ice cream and then the ice starts falling all over the place lol. Overall though would recommend mac nut ice cream with some tropical syrup flavors.

    Was having lunch and saw this shaved ice spot - thought we'd give it a try to see how good it is (and how it compares to Ululani's). Service was fine, everyone waits outside until it's your turn to order (which is nice). The shaved ice itself was average, nothing to write home about. The shaved ice was icy and not super fine. Which then doesnt absorb the syrup as well. Would not come back.

    Uncle's is an awesome place in Kauai! While the wait time is slow, and only one party is allowed in at a time, it is totally worth it! My family and I went there twice, and it was great both times! The first time my husband and daughter had Blue Raz and Tigers Blood (coconut & watermelon) and the second time had Blue Hawaiian (coconut and Blue Raz) and Bahamma Mamma (coconut cherry). According to my daughter, they both tasted delicious and she would 100% recommend it! Inside of the shop isn't much, just the necessities, but it gets the job done. The workers are amazing and I will visit every time I'm in Kauai.

    The Right Slice - Chicken pot pie

    The Right Slice

    $$

    (Tookout 04/28/26 TU @ 2:30pm): it appeared every slice was the right choice!…read more I met up with a friend for the day, and she insisted on taking me to The Right Slice! In town for the day simply to show me an investment property my family and I might be interested in the very near future, before she departed she had to pick up an order of pies to bring back to her family. Of course, I came along for the ride because I liked pie, but I was curious how good they were if she was willing to fly several of them in her carry-on. Founded by Sandy in October 2009, she quickly adjusted her business model from doing six community events a week to her first retail location in Lihue in 2011. The business continued to grow that led to a second location this time in Kalaheo in 2014. Fast-forward to today, the Kalaheo store is the only one standing, and she has cultivated a strong following both near and far of pie fans and the continued support of the local community. Did I choose the right slice for my first time here!? PURCHASE(S) Mango Lilikoi Pie Slice ($8.50): Their most popular pie, they had me at mango! Filled with plump juicy mangoes combined with the just right amount of lilikoi (passionfruit) and topped with a sugar crust. Juicy sweetness burst in every bite, and I was in pure heaven! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=-IUMWv6HB5wpv9AiQ-Y_bg Macadamia Nut Pie Slice ($8.50): This time, they had me at macadamia! Made with a ton of island macadamia nuts, roasted to a perfect golden brown combined with butter, eggs, sugar, and fresh spices for a nutty tropical sensation, this pie reminded me of a pecan pie but so much better! It was heavy, thick, and required a cold glass of milk to perfectly pair it with. I went nuts for this pie! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=JfthjT1sMLgeXqbfMPGzhA To-Go Containers ($0.50 x2): For my dessert, I've never been charged this before, but I understood businesses needed to cut/pass along costs as much as possible - c'est la vie. Credit Card Surcharge 3.00% ($0.57): Another pass-along fee that has become more prevalent - oh well. SERVICE I was warmly greeted by a young woman behind the counter who gave me time to review the menu while she offered recommendations. Once I ordered, my items were quickly packed and ready to go - mahalo! PARKING (FREE): We were lucky to grab one of the five small spots in front of their shop (it was very difficult to back out due to the heavily-trafficked thoroughfare). Otherwise, I wasn't sure where else you could park nearby - be prepared. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A country shop-like and ice-cream parlor feel with a couple of wooden tables, pie display https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=5gAkOcUYZ1pbgpC8UZq5xg cases, a pie menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=vSyaGOufl1cmq9OBOppvPw hung from the ceiling behind the counter, counters and shelves with merchandise, and an open entry way that welcomed you https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=jSiOeD6ISWVAot4Qkz2e1A in for a treat. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large front doors and windows while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs, while pop music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=53zRcRMKuNaS23ufwnBORw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL The Right Slice offered magical pies both savory and sweet (I must return to try a savory one!) all made from scratch and with a ton of love. The care and pride was tasted in each incredible bite, and I wished I had one to bring back with me after I ate each slice back at the resort. Everything tasted phenomenal, the prices may've been a tad high (but well worth it!), and the service was calming and straightforward. Plus, I always loved to try and support small local mom & pop businesses. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $19.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

The last time I had a pot pie was at a KFC Irvine, CA & it doesn't compare to this. The pot pie here is so good, tasty and savory, it is Fire!! The hot pot pie comes in meat with over 10+ varieties, inluding vegetarian and Gluten Free. Besides the chicken pot pie, we enjoyed a slice of macadamia sweet pie, it was so hard to decide on what flavors since they all sound so good! I try to squeeze The Right Slice in when we visit the Garden Isle and try to make it out to here, this side of the Kauai. I can't wait to be back for more, if you are here you are definitely- getting The Right Slice!!

We stopped by on a Tuesday around 8:30AM and got our pick of malasadas to try out! Kauai Bakery is located in a shopping plaza with plenty of ample parking, making it very easy to stop by and grab some delicious pastries. Service is like your typical bakery, you pick what you would like and they get it to you so you can stuff your face immediately after purchase. Ambiance is cozy with plenty of pastries to pick from in the large display case. We got 4 flavors of Malasadas for $16, which is $4 per doughnut, which I think is a decent price for the size and heft. The flavors we sampled were Lilikoi, Coconut, and Guava - out of these flavors, the coconut one was my personal favorite! The flavor was exactly what I would want anything coconut cream flavor should taste, creamy texture with a pleasant coconut taste that didn't taste artificial at all. It captured the floral background taste that is missing from a lot of coconut desserts that makes coconut so pleasing to eat! The Lilikoi one was my next favorite, it had a slight tartness and a more subtly pronounced flavor - I think I was looking for something stronger personally. Lastly was the guava one, which actually tasted a bit artificial and didn't have a pronounced flavor at all, which was unfortunate. Despite this critique, I would still glady inhale 2 or 3 of them because the dough was really pillowy and really enjoyable to eat. I think that the pastries here (at least the malasadas) are very solid and priced competitively vs most things here on Kauai. I would totally come back to get several more of the malasadas as well as try the other pastry options on the menu. Stop by and give this bakery a try if you are in the area!

Aside from that, the service was good. The lady was very sweet and apologetic that they were out of so many items. The mixed plate A was pretty disappointing and would be dragging down the rating to 3 stars if the Loco Moco wasn't the best Loco Moco I've ever had. The rice was so perfectly cooked and fluffy and the gravy had the best consistency. I asked for over-easy eggs that was well seasoned and amazing with the holistic dish. The burger patty was super tender and juicy as well! This hit a homerun and I would not shut up about this dish the entire meal. The lilikoi chiffon cake was definitely a pass. It really wasn't a chiffon cake at all and closer to a pie consistency. It was very tart and the I think the biggest thing was the texture.
