I love different ice cream flavors so the other flavors weren't that appealing to me. It was pretty late so I just got a basic vanilla cone. The fruit options include mango, pineapple, strawberry, mixed berry, blueberry, raspberry, and sometimes lilikoi (passion fruit)!

No trip to Oahu's north shore feels complete without a stop at Matsumoto Shave Ice. The line may be…read morelong, but they are incredibly efficient, and it moves much faster than you'd expect. One thing I really appreciate is the variety of Japanese-inspired syrups you won't find at other shave ice shops. I went with flavors like Kyoho grape, yuzu and ume, which were refreshing and vibrant. They tasted much more natural than the typical artificial syrups. I added Japanese mochi as a topping, which is the perfect complement to the fluffy shave ice. The ice itself is light and fine, soaking up all the syrup without becoming icy or crunchy. Can't wait for my next visit.

Even with their popularity, I love and respect that they keep their prices so low--under $4 for a small, compared to other competitors on the island that charge $10 and up. Their portions are huge too. My small was huge! I love all the unique flavors, especially the li hing mui, ume, pickled mango, and ramune. They're very light and refreshing, unlike the overly sweet, syrupy shaved ice I've tried elsewhere.

The rest is history! The employees are genuinely friendly, they patiently answer questions & delivered our orders quickly. There's indoor & outdoor seating and the whole place has the perfect Hawaii/ Beach vibe, plus beautiful photos and background history of the great family that started it all. My friend and I ordered the Sterling's Teriyaki that was "drip down to the elbows"delicious! Hubby ordered the Grilled Herb Ahi Steak which was a lot larger than he was expecting and ended up bringing some of it home. He said it was very good and cooked just right. We also ordered the large sized Paniolo Fries to share. They were amazing! We left stuffed and we're sure you will, too!

I like how they give a lot of fruit for the toppings and the granola to acai ratio is just right. The acai base is a good mix of sweet and tart. Next time, I'd want to try the mana acai bowl! A nice, sweet snack that is perfect for a beach day in the North Shore!

I ordered their Hapa bowl, and everything in it tasted fresh! nothing was really sour, and the fruits/açaí was icy.

The price was pretty standard for açaí bowls at 14 and I would come back again:D

When I first started visiting Sunbeams, my go-to was (and still is) Green River with condensed milk. Green River is such a nostalgic flavor for me and reminds me of my childhood. My kids enjoy their Keiki Sundae with comes with whipped cream and sprinkles. Other times, they enjoy milkshakes. There is a single bench along the wall of the establishment that I make my kids sit on while they enjoy their treats. Shave ice is also available and Sunbeams has saved me trips to Haleiwa when my kids feel like having shave ice. Customer service is excellent. If we have a large order, someone will come out and bring our items out on a tray. Really great effort when they can just place our order in the window for us to take.

I ordered the dragonfruit and lilikoi slush. I really liked the texture of this and was a refreshing treat for a hot day. It was a little more on the icy/watery side, so I wish it had a bit more flavor and honey on it. For pizzas, we ordered the fungi pizza and goat and honey pizza. The fungi was delicious as there was a generous amount of mushrooms and cheese. The goat and honey pizza was good but not as good as the fungi. I liked the texture of the crust on both pizzas. Overall, a solid spot if you're craving pizza on the North Shore.

Formerly Wicked Pizza of the ironically nomadic sense, popping up at various farmer's markets,…read morethey've finally settled down into Haleiwa town. The pizza I got years ago at the Kailua Farmer's Market back when they were in the Pali Lanes's parking lot, seems to have undergone a slight change. The crust is extra thin, but that may be due to getting the honey goat cheese pizza, rather than the pepperoni. Next time we're out on the North Shore, it's pepperoni time. A bit floppy, but the goat cheese and honey pizza combo is such a winner. The edge of the crust is crispy yet chewy. One pizza should feed two somewhat hungry people. Staff are polite but the pizza is baked to order and does take some time. All the best stuff does. There are several picnic tables and benches covered by umbrellas and they share a small parking lot accessed by a small road directly before the souvenir shop.
