My mom and I come here at least once a year when I'm in town. I wish they would come to upstate ny! 808 is so good. This time I got the mango sticky rice shaved ice. It might be my new favorite. She got cherry. We even mixed it a bit and it was good. Please come to Albany! read more

A nice sweet treat on a hot day with plenty of flavor options. If you like sweet condensed cream on your shaved ice, but don't want the dairy they have a coconut cream option which I appreciated. The staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations. I'll be back. read more

Very fun place! We saw this at the Zoo and thought we'd visit the original location. Very convenient, similar to an ice cream shop set up. Lots of choices tho, but they make it easy to make a decision by walking you through the steps. Small was big enough for each of us. The picnic tables were thought-through with the cut-outs to put your bowls in. Very fun and the flavors are very pronounced. If we were closer, we'd visit more frequent. read more

Love this place!! Such good shaved ice. All of their flavors are really good and you get good portions. Nice workers & quick service.

A nice change of pace from ice cream! Refreshing and very flavorful! Stopped by on a hot day last week for the first time. Ordered a small shaved ice for $4.99. I chose the Front Street combination, which is orange dreamsicle, strawberry, and mango. Sat at the picnic tables outside that have custom holes for the shaved ice bowls. Shared with my boyfriend. Really good and what we needed on a hot day! read more

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to try this for a long time and we finally stopped! Neither one of us have ever had shaved ice before so we didn't quite know what to expect. I had my mind set on someone snow cone like- hard and icy. This couldn't have been further from that! We both got a large- he got cherry and vanilla and I got the front street. I have to say- his was A LOT better than mine. The flavors in the front street were strawberry mango and dreamsicle. After eating it- I'm still not sure how to describe what dreamsicle tastes like. I was expecting an oranges and cream situation- but I have no idea what this actually is. This is pretty much how I felt about all of my flavors. None of them were distinct. My boyfriend's, on the other hand, at an awesome cherry flavor and the vanilla came through well. He agreed that his was much better than mine and we had a good laugh about it! We both added the snow cap with mixed reviews. He loved it- I wouldn't get it again. Just too sweet for me- but it was good! The best part of this treat is the texture- it is so cool. It's almost soft and creamy while being light as air at the same time. This isn't my typical sweet treat so I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but it's a nice spot when you're in the area or on a hot day! read more

808 Shave Ice - Blue and red is cherry and vanilla and the other is the front street. These are both size large with snow cap. - Shaved Ice Near Me - Fairview Park, Ohio

This was my first time going here with my buddies. They had been previously and raved about how good it was. I love ice, I love shaved ice, I love snow cones. Sounds like a match made in all the Heavens! We got there and there were OPTIONS! I looked at the menu before hand so I could know what I wanted BUT it's Shark Week and they had Shark Week themed ones! I stuck to my original choice but I will try a different one every time I go! I got a wooden spoon with mine. It was so good and soft. I got the Banyan Tree which was Lime, Lemon and Sour Apple (my fav). It was tangy, sweet and delicious! You have the option of adding other goodies too like vanilla ice cream but I no like vanilla ANYTHING so I hard passed on that. I didn't think it would be as soft as it was. It was like fluffy cold clouds. So delicious. If you're looking for a cold treat and are in the area (or in one of their other areas), stop by. You won't be sorry!!! read more

This is my new obsession and I'm so sad it took me too long to find it. Even more sadly, Queenie T and I visited on their last weekend open. 808 Shave Ice is only open seasonally and is currently temporarily closed for winter as of October 2019. 808 Shave Ice is an authentic Hawaiian shave ice stop. This isn't one of those stops at the fair where they basically pour sugar flavor over ice. I had a lemon and lime combo and added mochi. It was the most oddly satisfying dessert I've ever had in Northeast Ohio. It wasn't a sugar bomb, but instead had a refreshing flavor. If someone would have told me 6 months ago I would enjoy eating ice I probably would have laughed at them. From their website: "Shave Ice is a dessert made by shaving blocks of ice into a fine, snow like texture. The ice is then coated with our house made flavoring that absorbs into each and every bite. Shave Ice differs from snow cones in terms of texture, as our ice is shaved, not crushed. As a result, the flavoring is absorbed evenly throughout the product. Our flavors are flown in directly from Hawaii and hand mixed daily in our shop. Most of our flavors are made from fruit purees. We proudly pledge to use only pure 100% Cane Sugar." Fair prices, unique concept, and super cute place to bring friends, family or a date. I'm in love. I'll be back! read more

I've always been a chocolate over candy kind of gal. I figured the same would apply to my frozen treats--always ice cream over popsicles, slushies, shaved ice, etc... until today. Wow, on a hot day this was the most perfect and refreshing treat. I chose the Front Street which was a dreamsicle, mango and strawberry concoction and it SLAPPED! ...Not cloyingly sweet but fresh and full of fruity flavor. I don't know how they get the consistency of the ice so smooth and light but somehow they do and I'm not asking any questions! All I know is I'll definitely be back on repeat this summer. The complimentary pup bowl was also a nice touch that my pug appreciated greatly. read more

808 Shave Ice lives up to its billing, this could be the next big thing to start popping up all over. Located on Lorain Road across from the Fairview Park library is a cool looking shop with rough cut timber siding. The parking lot is very small and triangle shaped so it is hard to navigate, plus if you arrive at the wrong time the line can be very long, but it is worth navigating these issues because the product is that good. You order at the window, there are small and large sizes, with a plethora of flavors; you can pick your own combination of 3 sauces or use one of the combinations they have created. The ice is shaved from a circular block that is spun around and results in a light fluffy ice that most closely resembles powder snow; a vast improvement from the old school sno cones. They pack the shaved ice into a large ball in a colorful dish and then pour on the toppings. I tried a small Lahaina Luna which has Pineapple, Coconut and Banana flavors, plus I added the snowcap (condensed sweetened cream). The light texture of the ice and bright colored syrups results in beautiful looking treat, one of the prettiest desserts I have seen. I ate inside where they have acrylic holders that elevate the treat to a perfect height. Because of the way the ice is shaved the syrup is distributed evenly and the air in the snow results in a cool, but not freezing treat, perfect on a hot day, but still enjoyable when the weather is cooler. The syrups are all distinctive, with different bites having different flavors; you can identify each fruit flavor, the sweetness level is there, but not overwhelming. At the bottom you get to the well of extra syrup which is a nice finish to the treat. I was extremely impressed with 808 Shaved Ice and will get back when I can. This is a great alternative to ice cream, although you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream at the bottom for an extra $1, I would strongly recommend 808 Shaved Ice to everyone. read more

Hawaii in Fairview Park!!! Touch of heaven! The favor options and combinations are endless! Hawaiian flavors galore! The fluffiest and softest shaved ice you will encounter in Ohio! The team was fast, efficient, and friendly! Perfect treat! Shaved ice by itself or add a scoop of vanilla. If they had azuki beans, I'd feel like I took a flight! Order at the counter and take a seat at multiple tables provided with umbrellas. read more

I'm intrigued and I would return! It is reminiscent of a cold treat I would eat while in Taiwan. This is the closest I have come to experiencing that again in Ohio. It's not the same thing but it's good enough! I loved the tamarind flavor option. Getting it snow capped meant having sweetened condensed milk drizzled on top. Yummmmmmm. So as far as I can tell, the flavors and combinations are great. It is a little pricey but I guess that's just the cost of having the novelty of Hawaiian ice read more

Something new and unique for dessert. Shaved ice is popular out west but having a local spot in Fairview Park is great for the community. I'm not a shaved ice fan but tagged along with family and of course tried theirs. The concept is easy. Pick your size. Pick up to 3 flavors. Choose ice cream on the bottom, or not. Choose a topping, or not. My husband picked a pre planned flavor combo in Ohana which was cotton candy, vanilla coconut and pina colada. My son chose to pick his own flavors: Blue raspberry, peach and sour cherry. Stopped in at 7:15pm and the line was short. You must order outside, then you can sit outdoors or inside. The indoors is cute with a focus on Ohio... absolutely love the Ohio shaped tables. The colorful shaved ice and the fresh authentic flavors make this a fun choice when compared to a traditional ice cream spot.. which they are not. They also sell bags of loose leaf teas. Currently on sale for 50% off as they plan to repackage. My big complaint is lack of a system to assist people who do not want to purchase shaved ice. For example I stopped earlier in the day to purchase a gift card and was told I could not purchase it from the inside that I had to go outside and wait in the long line of people ordering shaved ice because they only have one register. Place is clean and workers are friendly and nice. read more

My two kids (6 &9 years old) love 808! And as you can probably guess ... I do too! From their standard shaved ices and slushies to their specials (ie. Shark Attack) you can't beat it. My family loves to order and relax outside at a bench to enjoy the atmosphere. We definitely recommend as well as treating yourself every once in awhile ... you deserve it! read more

808 Shave Ice - Shave ice with mochi topping - Shaved Ice Near Me - Fairview Park, Ohio

Let's be honest, I was skeptical about this place. I mean, syrup dumped over ice? But a friend recommended I stop here after a hike one day and I am so glad I did! I went with a small shaved ice for $4.95. I chose tiger blood and pina colada for my flavorings. The price might seem high, but the small is huge! Definitely something you could share. I was pleasantly surprised how tasty this refreshing treat was. The ice is shaved and not crushed which really made a difference in texture. And the flavorings didn't have that too sugary artificial taste to them either. Perfect stop on a sunny day! My friend says if you add ice cream it's even better. read more

Cute little shave ice place. Yummy flavors and the mochi is soft. Not Hawaii quality, but very good for a place in Ohio.

Absolutely delicious! I have always been hesitant to try shaved ice due to past bad experiences, but 808 restored my faith. The customer service here is amazing and the menu is even better. There are so many flavors to choose from (lime is the best!) and free refills for syrups if you wanted more. So glad I found this place! read more

I have never heard of this place and saw it on the way to my daughters basketball game! We decided to try it out after her game and wow!! Is was awesome!! Not only were the staff friendly but the service was quick! I had mine with ice cream in the bottom and it was tasty! We also loved that the picnic tables had several holes in them to hold the bowls the shaved ice came in. We will definitely be back! Hope they are open tear round!! read more

This is Hawaiian style shaved ice. They shaved big ice cubes into small shreds, then pour flavored coloring on top of ice. You can add condensed milk on top (snow cap). Or put ice cream at bottom of the ice pile. I'm giving it 4 stars to encourage the small businesses in the ice dessert categories. Personally, I probably wouldn't come back again for flavored coloring on ice. In Asia, the shaved ice pours on top of fruit e.g. mango, or sweet snacks e.g. sweetened boiled azuki beans, or jellies. The shaved ice itself is often made from frozen milk, not just frozen water. After eating a plate, one can be quite full. Because it is a frozen snack with substance. For Ohio, 808 shaved ice is a fun summer rehydration station. What's not to love. read more

So, the kid inside of me has been begging me to take me here all week. I love my summer iced treats like the rest of us, but sometimes I don't want to indulge in the heaviness that is sometimes spurred by ice cream. With that being said, I couldn't wait to try this place. The atmosphere is quaint and cutesy, with a view of the spinning ice, colorfully displayed syrups, and seating in and outside of the space that includes adorable little holes in the patio tables to set your shave ice for exciting the easily amused adults (aka myself) and children. Flavor list includes a lot of options (think from mai tai to root beer, bubblegum to cotton candy, and everything in between). As for texture, the ice is soft and every bite is consistient with flavor and allows for the syrup to coat all of the ice. My only complaint is that towards the end it was very, very sweet and saturated with syrup and melted ice. Next time I will ask to go light on the syrup, or maybe stick with one or two flavors instead of three. read more

Been here a few times with my daughter who discovered this place first. Great unique treats!

I tried the strongsville location and I enjoyed it alot! I'm a huge fan of icy treats. Shaved ice and snow cones are my fav! Shaved ice has a very light and fluffy texture like eating snow or clouds. I got lime and blue raspberry in a smaller size and it was huge!! It didn't melt super fast and was so good! Service was just ok. read more

Have not gotten the shaved ice here yet but the fresh pressed lemonade tasted great. I got the Hawaiian Islands flavor which was very refreshing. I honestly can't explain what it tastes like so you should try it yourself! You can add bubbles to drinks as well for all you bubble tea lovers. This is a perfect place to cool down on a hot summer day. read more

Wow! I thought no big deal shaved ice..not a fan. But it's not what I expected at all!! This melts in your mouth it's so good! We tried the kids size and it was a prefect serving! I tried the blue raspberry and rootbeer with ice cream in the bottom Definetly a keeper. My granddaughter had the cotton candy without ice cream and she said it was very good too. Wish there was one closer to me but we will make the trip out here again! read more

The staff was really nice. I accidentally spilled my ice all over the outdoor seating and they immediately made a new one for me without me asking. I got the getaway and it was amazing! Will definitely go back read more

What a fun treat! If you're not familiar with shave ice, it's light and fluffy ice shaved from a block with flavored syrup poured over top. Way better than a snow cone. My 8 year old and I visited on Friday and were pleasantly surprised. It was a bit drizzly out so there wasn't much of a line, which is a good thing because you have to order outside at the window. Then you can go inside to sit if you want. You can pick up to three flavors from their list or choose one of their pre concocted combinations. My daughter had a kids sized lemon, lime, and banana and I ordered a small front street sunset- strawberry, mango, and orange. My daughter said the banana was the best. Mine was very good.. I'm not a big fan of orange so next time I would probably forgo that flavor and pick something else instead. I did wish by the end of mine I'd gotten a kids size too.. the small is ALOT! One thing I really liked is that they make most of their syrups from fruit purees and they're HCFS free. Definitely recommend! read more

At first I was skeptical bc when I think of shaved ice. I think of watered down juice. But the finely shaved ice carried its flavor and was a good size! The girl behind the bar also offered to add more flavor if needed. I got the coffee toffee which was amazing...Strong and revitalizing. The rest got shaved ice. Atmosphere was cute and inviting. Seems like its family owned and the wood work was phenomenal. Tables carved like Ohio. And they even had little cup holders for the cups of ice. Competitive thought to add another ice cream joint in Fairview as kings of families go down the street. However, such a new, different vibe that should make this business thrive. read more

One of the only places to get shaved iced around Cleveland and they make it worth the drive. Pick 1 to 3 really fun flavors and the small size is for sure enough for me. Having been there a couple times now, the guava, sour cherry and rootbeer is the ones to get! Will be a frequent stop for me! read more

808 Shave Ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - Fairview Park, Ohio

We love 808 and visit frequently. They have a rather extensive numbers of flavors for your ice and gladly add more if you want. The staff is friendly and helpful. Service is generally fast. We have food allergies in our family and most staff have been very comfortable and informed when answering our allergy questions. We were glad to see they have opened a new location at the zoo! It is a friendly, locally owned and operated business that serves a tasty treat. Check it out! read more

Opinion: This place is horrible I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy! First off the owner hires kids who don't care about anything but themselves and gossiping...so you know the service SUCKS! The owner is a COMPLETE JERK as well, and doesn't seem to know how to handle heavy customer flow without an attitude either. He must not care about customer satisfaction! They don't prepare the shave ice well! Half of your overpriced cone will have flavor but the inside is just plain ice! They know this when they hand it to you and expect you to come back up to the counter and ask for more if you "need" too. Overall Experience: -The place is extremely overpriced, and dirty. The workers never clean off sticky tables and floors. - Parking lot is also ridiculously small. - Overcharged me on 3 occasions - If your store represents the Hawaiian culture, and you claim to be "Authentic", don't be rude to paying customers, and skimp on quality! - The amount of flavor you get on your ice is nothing compared to the amount the workers put on their own little shave ice helpings during work time. I will NEVER go back again, and I will definitely be advising my friends in the area to not waste their time going there either. It's really unfortunate that Ohio's only shave ice is so AWFUL! Want to improve 808? 1. Train employees better or don't hire kids. Petty gossiping about "he said/she said" high school drama shows a lack of professionalism. I don't care to hear about why so and so said "no" to homecoming. How about starting customer conversations with a positive vibe? 2. Look like you're working when customers are around even if you have "nothing to do." If you're getting paid, learn how to make shave ice quickly, wipe the display windows & clean the chairs and windows. Quit texting or posting on Instagram "#workflow." 3. Learn to accept and improve on customer complaints without being overly defensive. For example, if someone claims their order is wrong, you apologize for the inconvenience and make another without mumbling and looking irritated when the issue was on the staff and not the customer. 4. The quality of this place has gotten really awful since they opened. And Yes, people notice. read more

Amazing staff and product! Very impressed, it was suggested by my 4 year old who has been here before and I'm so glad we came. We'll definitely be back! read more

For someone who hates snow, I love this place! Hawaiian style ice (soft) .. never had it before until now. Better than a snow cone! Different flavors to choose from, and you can do combos of flavors if you're really having a hard time deciding. And when you're dieting, it's not that bad of a cheat. If you're familiar with Fairview, this is located across from the Library. Not a ton of parking, but you can always park on the side street and walk over. It's not that big of a walk. There is always a line when you're there, so be prepared to wait. Totally worth the wait. I love the little cups it comes in. It doesn't melt all over your hand like snow cones or Popsicle do. I can't wait to go again. Definitely worth it on a HOT day here in Cleveland. read more

I was visiting from out of state when my cousin suggested we go out for some shaved ice when they had just had their grand opening in June. I was skeptical but I am glad I tried this place out. Their shaved ice is of superb quality. When you taste the shaved ice, it is immediately clear how much effort goes into the process. We had the delightful opportunity to chat with the owner about his craft. He's truly passionate and believes in Hawaiian shaved ice- the delicacy of slowly shaving each bowl of ice for each customer to give them the ultimate experience. 5 stars alone for uniqueness and committment. If you sit at their tables, you'll see there are holes to place your shaved ice cups into while eating! The building decor is reclaimed wood, interior tables Ohio themed. The owner told us on a busy night, no matter how far the line goes, they will serve every single customer even if it's past closing time! So long as you are in line before closing. If you are hesitant about giving Hawaiian shaved ice a try and you are in northeast Ohio, stop here first and you will be surprised. Take your time to enjoy the quality and uniqueness of the craft. It's not available everywhere! read more

Like their sign says "goodbye ice cream!!" This is the most refreshing, cool, treat I think I have ever had. I could eat 6 in a row. They're not filling and leave you feeling guilt free. They're flavors are fantastic and even better is their customer service. I have never been there when the owners don't ask you how their product is or if there is anything else they can do. Love 808!! read more
