Delicious authentic Hawaiian shaved ice. They also sell different desserts/treats, ice cream, food and of course have self-service water filling available. Staff is very friendly and nice.
Nice and clean place to buy water. I love it!
Overall, the food is amazing. The ice cream is amazing. Service is wondertul, and it's a nice little hidden environment. Filled up a couple water jugs and got some ice cream and it was delicious! They also gave very large size scoops! Then I went ahead and tried the chili dogs and they were amazing! The fries are to die for when eating there as well! Definitely going back soon to try the Brownie Bomb!!
Burgers are freshly made, great taste. Fries are okay, not a fan of them. 1st time here and love that they use Thrifty's ice cream! Clean quiet little place.
Pastrami sandwich is awesome.
We ate here last Thursday evening at it was great!
We decided to try it out for a casual dinner as we are new to the area, and saw it had some great reviews.
My husband ordered the onion rings and pastrami burger, I ordered a Kraut doggie and garden salad, and my daughter got some fries and some thirty ice cream. We were all extremely satisfied with our meals, and my daughter of course loved the ice cream (and sprinkles!).
The service was also exemplary. If you need a quick, casual meal, and are out and about in the area, definitely check this spot out!
Locals describe it as a hidden gem.
I love this place, The people there are Very Nice 🐱🙂 I would highly recommend it to people with their kids or if you just want to get an ice cream 🍨🍦
This is our go to place when in the mood for shave ice or other treats! Friendly staff!
Great service by the staff especially Danielle! The food was perfect. I highly recommend the pastrami!
Best crispy thick fries in Vista! With multiple options.

Little hidden gem in town (Vista) they offer ph+9 alcanized water but also good food and thrifty ice cream can't believe I haven't been here before
Friendly atmosphere, service is awesome and great place for water. They have a point system for discounts.
And the brownies are a must try
Best shaved ice i’ve had! Super inexpensive. The regular is basically an XL and you get so much for your money!
Ordered the Patty Melt on sourdough with fries and a Hawaiian dog. The patty melt was very good, the dog was just ok. Service was great and staff was friendly. If you’re in the area and hungry, definitely stop by.
I've been ordering online from this establishment for around 5 years now. The pastrami melt/beef dip sandwiches & milkshakes are absolutely to die for. I'm moving back east and this place will be dearly missed. Thank you for your service for the time I've lived out here, truly a gem of oceanside.
