We partnered with Santa Cruz…read moreShave Ice to come and serve their refreshing delish treats (sugar-free and gluten free available too). I have also hired this great local company for neighborhood events, block parties and open houses. They are very professional and arrived in plenty of time to set up their amazing Tiki Bar! We didn't have a lot of kids so we weren't sure how many people would partake of the shave ice but it was a HUGE hit, especially our concoction of "Schoon-er-Ritas." OMG these are so GOOD! Santa Cruz Shave Ice is super easy to work with. The owners are accommodating, very pleasant to interact with and are AMAZING party planners. Chermae and Sybil are friendly, funny and truly enjoy the fruits of their labor. If you want to move your party to the next level, we highly recommend hiring Santa Cruz Shave Ice.

I grew up in Kauai, so I'm pretty picky when it comes to Hawaiian shaved ice. Ever since moving to…read moreCalifornia, I've been trying to find a place that actually tastes like home, and Pau Hana absolutely nailed it. This is by far the most authentic shaved ice I've had outside of Hawaii. The texture of the ice is perfect, the flavors are spot on, and getting it with condensed milk and macadamia nuts takes me right back to the islands. One thing that really stood out is that they source their ingredients from Hawaii. Their li hing mui powder is the real deal--the best I've found anywhere in California. The first time I came in, I asked if I could buy some because it was that good. They said they would've loved to, but they didn't have any extra at the time. Fast forward to today--I came back with my fiancée and asked again, and they actually remembered. They had some set aside for me and wouldn't even let me pay for it. That kind of customer service is incredibly rare. I didn't catch the owner's name, but he was genuinely kind and went out of his way to make our day. They've earned customers for life. If you're from Hawaii and miss the real thing, or if you've never had authentic Hawaiian shaved ice before, you need to come here. I recommend Pau Hana to everyone I know!

If you are craving a sweet treat stop by here for their Hawaiian shaved ice. I was really carving a…read moremango bobo, but they aren't offering it on this block so this is the next best thing. Inside they have a little bench for you to wait for your order. When I arrived it was being taken by 3 people already. Seating is quite non existent. There is one cement bench out front that was being half occupied by a woman so I sat my husband down next to her to wait for me as I ordered inside. Mango is my favorite so I ordered a Mangonada- Mango syrup, Mango ice cream buried on the bottom, diced mango on top, chamomile, Tajik, and tamari a straw. This treat is a little spicy and sweet. I wish there was more mango pieces. I felt it was quite skimpy. I ordered this just for the mangos. The shaved ice was perfectly syruped. There wasn't any white shaved ice peeking out. Under the shaved ice was the mango ice cream. How it was placed you had to eat most of the shaved ice before you can reach the ice cream. Today was only a high of 79 so it wasn't too hot out. Thus I didn't have an issue with it melting too fast. Actually it was only 77 when I ordered it so it didn't melt at all. Parking wasn't too challenging as today is a Sunday. Plus the meters don't run on Sunday so parking is free. We parked around the block in front of J town Pizza. A hop skip and jump.

Upon entering, I was greeted warmly by Cienna, who explained to me what they had since it was my first time. There are a bit of options, so I had to think about what to get :P she did mention that if I wanted to try out a flavor, she can provide a sample which was great. After some time of thinking, I settled on getting a Blizzy's with the Keeping the Peace ice and Vanilla custard. I've been to Rita's, but Izzy's is really good, especially the custard! With Rita's the custard has a bit of an eggy taste, but Izzy's is very creamy, similar to a vanilla ice cream. Really enjoyed my experience here at Izzy's. The interior of the store is very clean, and Cienna was super helpful and friendly! Not only to me, but to all the customers that came in. Highly recommend stopping by this place if you have not done so! I will be coming back again whenever I am in Santa Cruz :)

My daughter and I both went with the cookie dough ice cream, and it was SO good. It wasn't just little pieces of cookie dough either--it had big chunks of chocolate mixed in, which made it even better. Our friend got the almond mocha and loved it as well. We both got the fun cones that were dipped in different chocolates, which looked as good as they tasted. I went with the basic plain cone, and honestly, it was perfect too. It was such a nice little treat to sit in the sunshine, enjoy our ice cream, and watch the sea lions barking and playing in the water. The shop is cute and has plenty of other things you can purchase, but we were mainly there for the ice cream. One thing I will mention is that there wasn't anywhere inside to wash your hands. After walking around the pier and touching everything, we definitely could have used a sink! There is a bathroom nearby, but we didn't think about using it until after we'd already ordered. The staff was kind enough to give us a cup of water, so we went outside and did our best to clean our hands that way. The service was great, the ice cream was delicious, and we were told that everything is made locally, which I always love supporting. Overall, it was the perfect little sweet stop while enjoying the wharf and watching the sea lions. Definitely worth grabbing a scoop if you're in the area!

After walking on the pier we were kinda worried about finding a decent spot to eat. So glad we gave it a try. Walking in there were like 3 other parties walking in so that was encouraging. It gave off Hawaiian/tiki vibes and was inviting. They have a 3 course special 4-5 pm for like $30. My husband and I picked that, I had the teriyaki chicken bowl and he had bbq ribs. The salad had a delicious dressing and had to eat every morsel. Both the main courses were really good. My grandson ordered the steak and ate every bite of the whole meal. Kai (the waiter) was very nice and gave us some advice on what to see along the route. I got an amazing picture that I blew up to hang in our room. Totally recommend giving this place a try!
