Just a fair warning... This place might spoil shaved ice for you forever! I've been to the original…read morelocation in Kauai a few years back and I must say, this location might just be a taddddd bit better (taste wise, but there weren't as many options). I've tried many different shaved ice in Hawaii as well, and in my honest opinion Wailua is sitting atop its throne with no close second. Though there's no place to sit inside the establishment, there is a bench right outside and a few chairs. The shaved ice will be a lot bigger than you expect it, but also a lot lighter as well. If you need a light dessert this should definitely be on your list! We got Triple Coconut with Ube foam with toasted coconut and almonds which was smooth and creamy, lots of coconut flavor but not overly sweet! The next day, we got Love Potion #9 with toasted coconut and almonds as well, it's very similar to Strawberries and cream and if you want to play it safe this is the one to get. However, Triple Coconut was just better. Love this place. No hesitations, just go!

They have a small trolley on wheels for small children so that they can peruse all the flavours before making a decision. What a kind and thoughtful gesture. I can't remember what flavour my husband had but I had chocolate peanut butter and it was one of the best that I've had. The scoops are a decent size and prices are reasonable for the quality and size of the servings. They have a large selection of flavours and they will give samples. There was only one server working when we were there but she was very friendly and efficient. She had great patience with the small children. This will be a must stop on future trips to Newport.

Located in the shopping complex at the corner of 101 and Hwy 20, this little gem is something…read moreeveryone should at least try once. With several varieties of ice cream from more than one vendor, you are always able to find a flavor of your choice. With the addition of shaved ice as well, you just cannot go wrong here. Always clean and upbeat, this is a really nice place to get ice cream after spending the day at the beach. The wait times is usually non existent, maybe just a few minutes at most and even at their busiest, but that also gives you some time to select that flavor you have been looking for. For me was the dark cherry ice cream that I like to treat myself with. This particular time I had it in a kids cup, which this day was just the right amount! This will always be a go to anytime we are in Newport and the sun is out!

Next time we'll try some of their homemade tropical cheesecake that included lilikoi or lemon drop as a couple of their flavor options. Needing to chill out or get a little aloha in your life? Try Menehune Murph's!

The female worker was sitting there on her phone and I had to say hi and excuse me a few times before she even came up to the counter to help me. I was so disappointed in the drink. It was definitely not worth the price and the quality of it was just not good. It didn't taste like passionfruit at all and the lychee jellies were actually popping boba, which I wasn't aware of... Will not return and will stick to the real boba shops when I want tea.

We come here simply because there aren't any other places in the area that serve these drinks, but definitely could use some improvement. Service is minimal. They do offer a cash discount.
