Hands down the best shaved ice place in Kauai in my opinion! We got the Chevron, which was coconut…read more+ lime with coconut chia seed on top -- super refreshing after a long hike! The fruit syrups did not taste overly artificial or too sweet, which is my gripe with a lot of shaved ice places (for example, I did not like Jojo's Shaved Ice as much). I want to come here again to try their other flavors! There was essentially no line when we went at around 4pm on Friday, and we got our shaved ice very quickly after we ordered. We ate outside in a beautiful outdoor area with benches shaded by trees. Parking might be kind of hard to find depending on time of day. There is a small lot near the musubi truck, as well as a few street parking spots out front.

I had no idea that it's the sister store of Mango's, just up the street! Super casual, indoor or porch seating. I love their choices of coffee available and, like Mango's, a lot of high quality Roselani ice cream! I love the friendly staff and the historic photos of the Kōloa Mill and Kōloa little league teams on the walls.

I visited Mango's in Kōloa, Kauaʻi, Hawaii [5460 Koloa Rd] on Thursday, 01/22/26, around 6:30 PM…read more I was intrigued by the idea of ordering a milkshake made with the Banana Mac Crunch ice cream. The milkshake was blended to perfection, tasting like banana heaven with subtle notes of nuttiness. I truly enjoyed it. The inside of the shop was vibrant and colorful. In addition to the treats offered at the counter, there were plenty of products available for purchase, such as pancake mix, coconut syrup, coffee, cookies, nuts, and more. There were two employees assisting all of the guests. There was a bit of a wait; however, they kept the line moving fairly quickly and maintained a pleasant disposition while serving customers. All in all, I highly recommend stopping by Mango's for delectable sweet treats while exploring Kōloa.

They have dole whip...need I say more? I am a native Californian who grew up going to Disneyland…read moreand enjoy pineapple dole whip with a deep nostalgia, so I was so happy to learn that they have it at Mango's! I got a Keiki size but they really swirled it up high in the cup which made it enough to share with my fiancé..who said he didn't want his own but helped eat mine lol Service is fast. I went twice while visiting Kauai and the first employee was a little more friendly than the second, she took the time to explain their special promotion and helped me pick out the best shave ice flavors. The shave ice is also good, a little more sweet and syrupy than I'd prefer, but I'm happy that they don't skimp with the syrups like some places. The shave ice is chunky but still easy to scoop with a spoon. They sell more products inside their store, including granola/granola bars, Hawaiian coconut syrup, and plush toys. They also have a variety of pastries available, including chocolate cake, which was sadly a little dry the day we got some (maybe it was just sitting in the display too long?) There is plenty of patio seating outside. Free parking available in the parking lot for the shopping center. Mango's is located in a great shopping center that also has restaurants, cafes, bakeries, juice bar, and grocery store. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area

The caramel made it extremely sweet. Pukalani pineapple - SO good oh my gosh. It didn't even scoop bc it was so crumbly, but it was a sorbet and so refreshing. Auntie Mabel's Lilikoi dream - passion fruit ice cream + swirl of passion fruit sorbet + shortbread was such a good combo.

I highly recommend the natural fresh fruits . The owner Mindy is always super friendly and takes pride in a quality product. The location is conveniently located and overlooking Lawai beach. You won't be disappointed!

Great shave ice, friendly service, and they were even open on Thanksgiving!…read more Our family are big fans of shave ice and this was our first experience at riptides. We appreciated that they have both fresh fruit syrups and local made syrups. Your can see the attention to detail in how they make shave ice here, inserting holes in the ice to allow the syrup to mix throughout, even topping the Mac nut ice cream version with Mac nut on top (made my mom Mac nut ordering family a little jealous). While the line can get long, it moves and you can just turn and face the ocean which is 10 ft away, so not a bad view while you wait. Mindy the owner, was kind and friendly. If you're craving shave ice, put riptides on the top of your list. It's by far the best shave ice place on Kauai.

We were able to make it back later in the week and loved our acai! All of the bases are blended, rather than a scooper sorbet, and which made the bowls less sugary and more refreshing. I ordered their most popular, the Sau Sai bowl and loved it! The employee was so friendly and accommodating, offering her recommendations and allowing me to make substitutions.

Parking is limited, but it was empty at that time so no issues for us. The decor is very island-y. We ordered the sau sai acai bowl. Got a buzzer and it went off within a minute. Flavor-wise, it was just okay. The sau sai leaned a bit sweet, toppings were pretty limited (blueberries, strawberries, banana), and the acai itself wasn't very strong. Not bad, but nothing that really stood out.

We opted to get the PB and banana one, excited to give it a try. They sell tons of local products and meats. Unfortunately no local Kaua'i eggs sold here, go to Hoku market for that. They also sell Gina's banana bread for $8.50 near the register, they are huge portions and she doesn't skimp on the nuts, very tasty!! Next to the poke, they also have a food warmer stocked with to-go hot breakfast bentos as well as musubi. Wish I knew that earlier during my trip!

It is inside a small grocery store so you can browse while you wait or sit at the tables they have nearby.
