Da Shaved Ice Place

Great!!

Got a medium shaved ice, had very little flavour on it. It just tasted like snow - very disappointing.

Worst shaved ice my wife and I ever didn't eat. Disgusting - nasty artificial taste and icky aftertaste of some sort of artificial sweetener. Run, don't walk, away from this place.

Food was good. Açaí bowls were yummy and my kids liked the extra toppings for the shave ice.

This shave ice really hit the spot today! My wife, four kids, and I tried and loved a rainbow of flavors (there are tons to choose from) - tiger's blood, passion fruit, guava, pina colada, papaya, coconut, and root beer were ours today and they were great.

But what really blew us away was the owner's incredible kindness. When she heard my youngest trip and sent his shave ice flying, she immediately asked which flavors he'd had and remade it for free, no questions asked. It turned a potential meltdown into a moment of joy, and we were so grateful for her thoughtfulness. Honestly, I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews about the service; the owner was ready to take our orders right away but I didn't feel any pressure like other reviewers have claimed.

This place has a real mom-and-pop feel, definitely a bit quirky and colorful, but that just adds to its charm.

Before today, Uluani's had been our "gold standard" for shave ice. I consider this place on par; the ice wasn't quite as soft and the flavors maybe just a bit less intense, but the prices were noticeably more accessible and there were several more fun flavor and topping options available than elsewhere. I'd be happy to visit either.

Don't miss this hidden gem!

Shaved ice was above par. Not the absolute greatest but wasn't missing anything. I know there are some places out there who specialize in a curated menu and such but these guys have tons of flavors and all the things needed to curate your own. Would certainly go back. Location was a little lack luster as it is in the middle of a shopping center with numerous other businesses surrounding it. But all and all the family and I were pleased.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of celiac, gluten free options to choose from!

Tropic Fizz is a refreshing oasis on a warm island day! I tried it first the first time, n it was just the right mix of creamy coconut and bright mango. It’s a must-stop for anyone craving a cool, fruity treat in paradise! #TropicFizz #IslandDrinks

One of the nicest and most memorable places on the island! The staff is amazing and their shave ice is to die for! Get the rainbow shave ice with a snow cap! 5/5

The family went to this shop looking forward to some delicious shaved ice. The lady / owner at the register barked at us if we were ready 2 seconds into the store. We were the only people there. Wife asked a simple question and the lady again barked the answer. Only staring at her order book and flipping pages back and forth. We ordered, paid and left. No Thank you, no enjoy, nothing. Definitely felt like we were an inconvenience for her. Go somewhere else and spend your hard earned cash.

They are a little nasty here. Shaved ice is average. There is nothing to write home about.

Visited in September '23. So good, we visited 2x during our visit to Kona.

This is located in a local shopping centre and it is tucked away, unless you know what you're looking for.

Their menu is quite extensive and I was delighted to see Ube on an ice cream menu.
They also serve Halo Halo! And oh my goodness, it is delightful.

Their Halo Halo does have local influences which I didn't mind but just something to be aware of if you're looking to find an authentic halo halo (for example, they put sago/tapioca pearls in their Halo Halo).

It looked to be run by a family and the shop is quite small (bar stool seating area) so wouldn't linger.

Perhaps the worst shave ice I have ever had. Only about a quarter inch of ice had any syrup. The rest was just raw ice. Also, out of many things on the menu.
