This place is such a hidden gem. The shaved ice we got is simply amazing - highly recommend #2 diamond head. Tracy made it for us with love and care - mahalo for bringing aloha to us. Can't wait to come back when we return.
We stumbled upon this after walking down an alley with a little market in it and I'm glad we did! The two ladies working were incredibly nice and had very quick service. Some unique flavors that I have never seen before including caffeinated syrup! Unfortunately, it was late when we found the spot so I got Ube and Piña Colada with mochi instead. Flavors were delicious and ice was fluffy. The mochi is a nice touch. I don't think there's anywhere to sit around their stand but we walked back to our Airbnb so no issue there! I would recommend starting at their side of the alley so you can eat and enjoy the market ambience at the same time.
Oh hey, let me start off by saying that: this place has the best shaved ice ever. I feel like it was totally worth the wait. Its like eating cloud in shaved ice form. The ice is soft with bold flavors. Check it out, you wont be disappointed. My Milian trio definitely agrees it was one of the nest ever!
I got the Diamond Head shaved ice with everything on it, it's aite. The shaved ice texture is like an in between of Matsumoto and Island Vintage so it's not so icy but not super soft (good or bad depending on your preference). The syrup was pretty sweet and there was plenty all over the ice (good or bad depending on your preference). Small scoop of vanilla ice cream under the ice (good or bad depending on your preference).
This business is located at the very end of the swap meet in the alley between the two buildings. It's so worth it. I've never had such an amazing shaved ice! It's so full of amazing flavor. Definitely redefined shaved ice for me haha. The two women working were so friendly and nice to talk to as well!
I got the rainbow shaved snow, and it had three flavors, being blue vanilla, strawberry, and lilikoi. Topped with condensed milk, mochi, and nata de coco, it's quite a lot of dessert! Underneath the shaved ice is vanilla ice cream, and I'd recommend sharing this with one other person. It was amazing, and my server made it quickly and to order!
Great service fast delivery!! Kind friendly helpful. Yummy definitely recommend!! Clean and simple!!
Love the customer service and fast response, delicious shaved ice with ice cream on the bottom . Must try
Delicious shaved ice and ice cream. We went back several days in a row because it was that good! My family and I tried many of the items and all were amazing. And the customer service was excellent. Definitely would recommend!
The location is an open air marketplace . ( next to international market) A little bit hard to find this place but we're here . Shaved ice alone doesn't feel like it would be a great dessert, but here they add some ice cream at the bottom and some mochi balls, and that makes it feel like a worthy treat. I ordered Matcha Mori and enjoyed it . Love the red beans add on so make it flavorful. The staff were friendly and made it with care . Not many places to seat , we all just keep walking around the market to enjoyed yummy dessert with so many things to looked at .
This is right behind the Hyatt building as a part of the open air market. An unassuming storefront offering some amazing shave ice! There was only one guy working there trying his best to make all the shave ice to order - kudos to him! This makes the wait a little longer if you order after a bigger group (oops sorry!) but with the wait! They have a few combos you can choose from that include all the flavors and toppings and even a caffeinated one! Or you can make your own bowl small or large up to 2 flavors. I like they that don't drown your packed soft shave ice with syrup like Matsumoto's so it's feels light and hits the spot. Although it is slightly more pricier but we enjoyed our shave ice adventure on the last night in Oahu. Come support this local business and then browse the market!
Shaved ice is a popular treat in Hawaii, so I had to try it. The first time I had some, it was from a convenience store and had the feeling of getting gas station sushi, so I figured I had to try again from somewhere that looked like a more dedicated to the desert place. So we came here. Shaved ice alone doesn't feel like it would be a great dessert, but here they add some ice cream at the bottom and some mochi balls, and that makes it feel like a worthy treat. We even asked about these coins they sell at the counter, and the person in charge of the booth came out to demonstrate the other uses for them (other than just wearing it around your neck that is), so we ended up getting 2 of them, instead of just the one we were planning on. Then later we went back just to get one of the hats they sold there because the shaved ice was great but the service was even better. Not many places to sit around here, but shaved ice in a bowl is a dessert you can get and just keep walking around and browsing the market there. We have a few more days here in Hawaii so I feel we will be going back at least once.
Nice little stall in a shopping alleyway, awesome find here! From the menu, there's so much to choose from...we settled for the #1 Duke's Rainbow. So much flavor from the different syrup flavors - along with the mochi, jelly, & condensed milk that is also in the shave ice! Easily feeds 2 people Hidden gem, find this place and you'll be rewarded!

My friend and I stumbled upon this food truck unexpectedly, and it actually made our day! It's at the end of some stalls selling souvenir items on Dukes Lane and on the outside of the Dukes Lane Food Hall. The lady running the truck was by herself but was so friendly and offered us samples of the different shaved ice flavors - which I had never experienced at a shaved ice place before! So, that was super helpful, and my friend and I ended up deciding on a small Blue Vanilla/Lime/Pina Colada with Condensed Milk and Mochi and a small Blue Vanilla/Cherry with Condensed Milk. I was really appreciative to try the Pina Colada flavor because it's one of my favorite flavors, but it can often come out tasting alcohol-like rather than coconut-y, which I don't prefer. These ices were DELICIOUS and super fairly priced for the portions we received! 10/10 recommend read more

Lack of flavor. Wasn't tasty at all. Just tasted watery. It's hidden in an alley so it was a little confusing to find at first. read more

My sister and I were looking for shaved ice that was the perfect icy texture, and this place nailed it! We got the Strawberry Lava which came with strawberry and pineapple flavor, vanilla ice cream in the middle, condensed milk on top, mochi, and coconut jelly. The service was very quick, and the stand had a bench to sit down in front. This was probably the best shaved ice I had and my favorite from this trip! We devoured this in the rain so quick, and I highly recommend coming here for shave ice! read more
Located in the Duke's alley market, this place has some cool themed shave ice. Price is about what you'd expect in the area. Wife ended up getting a blue Hawaiian flavored bowl of shave ice. It was decent, but there were a few other spots we like better. read more

We ordered the Diamond Head Dawn shaved ice and it was delicious! The flavors were POG & mango topped with mochi, condensed milk, coconut jelly, and vanilla ice cream. The location is a bit tucked in behind all of the shops under tents and the alleyway, but there's a small bench to sit on right outside the truck. The service was quick! After tax and tip, it was a little less than $12 and fed two for dessert! I'd totally come back and try out more combos and flavors. read more

The one thing I wanted to eat a lot of in Oahu was shaved ice, specifically ones that aren't too fine like bingsu as I come from California where that's readily available This place was exactly what we wanted and my sister and I devoured our order so fast the pineapple strawberry syrup with the ice cream+mochi+nata de coco was perfect! read more
Aloha Icelabs as they create some cool treats! Located in Duke's Lane which I do hear so many names for that...Duke's Marketplace, Duke's Alley and even Duke's Lane Properties...so which is it...*shrug!* Well they're located at the very first stall on the Kuhio Ave side and with the feather banner flag waving in the breeze with brightly Aloha decor I just couldn't resist passing it by in this heat. They have so many interesting combination and their menu clearly list of the syrups flavor used along with toppings and price marked so visibly easy to understand the Kona Frost really got my attention but decided since I'm in Waikiki let's go with "Dukes Rainbow" which uses Strawberry, Blue Vanilla and Lilikoi syrups tucked in with Vanilla Ice Cream Condensed Milk drizzled and topped with little bits of mochi and coconut jelly. Menu states that they're natural flavors made in Hawaii but it was incredibly sweeeeeet! I will say probably it's my preference wished it wasn't as sweet but it was, I did enjoy the ice cream, mochi and coconut jelly that was totally a great touch but I just couldn't finish it though loved the concept. All made to order very fast and the staff making it was very friendly though no area to rest and consume did make it a bit difficult to relax. Thank you! read more
The PROS: delicious, creamy shaved ice. The CONS: not easy to find, super slow service since each shaved ice is made to order. We kept telling ourselves, "hey we're on vacation, what's the rush... we have nothing to do." So if you have this mentality, go for it. I love shaved ice and haven't had a bad one yet in Hawaii. read more
Came here since Lahaina shaved ice closed an hour early due to no more ice. . No line here at Aloha Icelabs! Not only they do regular syrup but CAFFEINATED too! Energizing kick and having you stay alert. You can create your own or pick from the few choices they have on the menu. Ended up getting #4. Kiki Volcano It's good and perfect for sharing. No sitting area just a bench seats and few chairs in the back even though it's located outside the apartment. Although there's good seatings across the street where ABC is also. read more

Another yummy ice scream shave ice recommendation from Hawaii, love it, ou first try was in their store in Waikiki, another yummy treat after a long walk read more
Nice little Hawaiian shaved ice stand in vicinity of the open air markets in downtown Honolulu and Waikīkī. We went with the Strawberry lava--it was big enough for us all to split it between my wife and three kiddos. I wasn't a fan of the mochi combined with everything else in the bowl but to each their own. I recommend asking for the mochi to be removed for any of the combos. The ice cream and shaved ice together were great. Finally, the gentleman making the order did a good job. He was efficient and was very friendly towards us. read more

Aside from the theme itself - this place was yummly refreshing! They do have the option to add caffeine to yoir shaved ice. Caffeine or no caffeine it was still really good. This place is located inside the Dukes Mini Market. You may miss it because it is right in the middle corner. Across from the international market place. Service was great. The person that helped was nice! read more

Amazing shave ice in an alleyway near Waikiki. Get the dukes rainbow, you will not be disappointed. All natural flavors to go with the suggested toppings; if making your own flavor and topping combo make sure you get the coconut jelly cubes. They are so good read more
