    The coconut cream on top here is a real standout--it pairs perfectly with their shave ice, and we all wanted more! The syrups were also delicious and not too sweet. I never thought I'd say this, but I've finally found a shave ice I like even better than Uluani's, and it's on Kauai at a food truck!

    Beautiful shave ice with guava, passionfruit, and a coconut cream topping!

    As a family, we are always curating and adding to our favorite foods lists and one of them is the best shave ice places in Hawaii. Waikomo makes the list for sure. They serve a very delicious version with natural ingredients creating a unique flavor profile. It veers on the healthy side of shave ice desserts. We shared a guava and passion fruit with a coconut cream topping with fresh bits of fruit (pineapple pieces). We added the option of Mac nut ice cream which made it extra delicious. Service was friendly and speedy despite the line. And the tables in the jungle setting was super unique. Would go again and highly recommend!

    Having 4 of the shaved ice spots thus far on the trip, Waikomo shave ice takes the crown! (I wil update if anything changes in the next three days . Located in front of the warehouse shopping center. Ordered mango and calamansi (contrasting flavors ). With Mac nut ice cream of course. Condensed milk and toppings Syrup flavors tasted like real fruit and delicious. Neither overly sweet , nor artificial sweeteners. Definitely a winner . Highly recommend it

    Such a great, little side trip down the road from Poipu. The flavors are amazing and all natural. Highly recommend the calamansi and coconut combo. I've put this as my top shave ice of the trip to Kauai. Plus there's a sweet little shopping area adjacent to the truck with very local gifts, clothing and artwork.

    Chose the calamansi and mango flavors--delicious, refreshing, and didn't leave me feeling heavy or sugared out. Friendly service and plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your treat. Family-friendly spot with nearby shops to explore. Just a heads-up: there's an extra charge if you pay with a credit card.

    Absolutely stellar work out of this little truck. If you sold this on the street in New York, it would be $25 a cone and the line would be down the block. Every syrup tasted like fresh fruit with a perfect mix of sweet and tart. It's worth the money; it's worth the drive; it's worth dining in a parking lot. Go here!

    After finishing my vacation in Kauai, this is where you get your shaved ice. I had shaved ice almost every night while in Kauai, and I not just ordered one shaved ice, but I got a second one after the first one, which was so good. You get a max of two topping flavors, and the price was reasonable (~$9). The syrup they used was a lot less sugary than other places I have tried, and upon reading their website, they used cane sugar instead of fructose for the sweetening. The home coconut sauce with some honey on the top made the flavors more in-depth. The service was super quick, and the ambiance was nice, as there was a lot of outdoor seating. Hands down, I would go to this again. I will also drive across the island to get this shaved ice.

    Lychee and mango:)

    Dynamite! Every island has a special shave ice located on it and I believe this is kuaui's! A sweet lady runs this out of a food truck and it may not be fast but it is definitely worth the wait!! All of the shave ice are topped with a coconut cream, honey and fresh fruit! The flavors were soooo good!! No bare ice anywhere!

    Mango shave ice with coconut cream

    Must stop here!!! As someone who generally isn't into shave ice because of the sugary, dye-heavy syrups, I sought this place out for the natural flavors and they did not disappoint. Heavy on the fresh fruit flavors without being sickly sweet. We especially loved the coconut cream and fruit topping. 10/10! Don't miss the cute shops in the Warehouse while you're there. I found the cutest t-shirt at The Local Beet

    First experience with shave ice that wasn't just overly sweet synthetic flavors and it was great! They make their own syrups and top with small pineapple chunks. The perfect post-hike treat. Getting an ice cream scoop in the bottom is a must! Highly recommend and would return if ever back on Kauai!

    Jac B.

    I have waited my whole life to get shave ice because it didn't look appetizing until my uncle introduced me to these guys. They make all their own syrups and the flavors are incredible. I could have cried. The ice cream core and the little straw to slurp up all the melted bits together made my life.

    LocoCoco Bowl | Strawberry-Mango
    Maral C.

    Located by the warehouse shopping center, this adorable place has a great outdoor seating in the back. I had my sights set on trying the LocoCoco bowl, and they recommended the popular mango-strawberry flavor. It turned out to be the most delicious shave ice I've ever had! The flavors were incredibly rich, and the bowl contained real fruit pieces. I loved that I I could take the coco bowl and wooden spoon home as a souvenir. The service is amazing and they offered to rinse of the bowl and spoon so we can take them with us I can't wait to return when I'm in Kauai again

    Best shave ice I've had. Coconut cream, honey, and fruit come on top of each order if desired, which enhances the flavor profile.

    Whenever we're in Kauai, this is always one of our must-stop spots for pie. On this visit, we…read morearrived just before closing after spending the afternoon at Salt Pond Beach. We picked up a whole Island Lemon Pie to take with us (forgot to get a photo). I got myself a slice of the Macadamia Nut Pie to go, which was delicious, especially with vanilla bean ice cream. Everything we've tried here has been consistently good and we've never had a bad experience. If you're planning a visit, try to get there early since popular flavors can sell out. Definitely worth a stop!

    (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.

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

I was a bit worried once the price turned out to be $5, but i was pleasantly surprised by the quality. It has a crisp outside with a soft (not dry) inside.

They asked if I wanted flavor to the Hojicha like Caramel or Brown Sugar but I don't like my drinks too sweet so I got it straight up plain which was to my liking. Breakfast food items were delicious! Dad loved his yummy brioche bun and he had scrambled eggs in his Breakfast Sandwich which also had Ham, Cheddar Cheese and Garlic Aioli. My Avocado Toast was also real delicious! It had the Avocado Spread, Cucumbers, Cherry Tomatoes, Arugula, Feta and drizzle of Balsamic Vinaigrette. I added an Over Hard Egg for that Protein which was needed. Add ANY pastry according to my friend. You can't go wrong! We got the Lemon Lavender Scone which was delicious! All together was quite a lot, maybe $50 or so but overall, delicious coffee and Breakfast/Lunch selection and the vibes were on point. Cute macrame rope art on the wall for a boho look!

They offer fruit smoothies that are much bigger than those across the street - $8 for 20 oz of fresh fruit smoothies instead of $9 for like 10 ounces across the street. They also offer other desserts like boba teas and halo halo, which we found to be very delicious and very reasonably priced. This would be great place to stop by before or after your hike at Waimea for baked goods, trail mix/chips, sandwiches and/or teas and dessert. I would highly consider ordering sandwiches and snacks to-go and then having them on my hike. I also ordered a malasadas and bought some trail mix for the road - all packaged by 4tea. I think the price points are great and the owners are very kind. However, I noticed the downside of this store is the small signage, which I couldn't even see eating at Island Taco. But what we did was park near Island Taco (since they do not have their own lot but instead they share the lot with a private homeowner). So I would park on the street or nearby and walk over. Alongside the trail mix, they also have fruit candies, chips, bakery items, and sandwiches of all kinds - all very reasonably priced. It's hard because this place does not have seating, but you can easily grab this food to go and enjoy it at a beach nearby like Salt Pond Park. I hope this business does well and that they get more foot traffic, which is why I'm writing this thorough review, noticing that they aren't on Yelp yet - Hope this local business does well!
