    Make Your Own Shave Ice!
    Elizabeth H.

    It's a must to have shave ice when in Hawaii. It's almost iconic! Like at Da Sweet Spot it can't be missed for its cool and refreshing shave ice. The Sunset was good with lots of toppings like strawberries, popping boba, and mochi. Its strawberry and mango flavors with a pineapple ice cream base was awesome! A fun and creative way to enjoy a shave ice is by choosing the base (ice cream), two flavors, and two toppings! Just love shave ice!

    Located amongst the Lunch Trucks on Kihei road, Da Sweet Spot offers some amazing cold sweets that will hit the spot on a hot Maui day. Besides shaved iced, they also have pineapple Dole whip...

    Delicious shave ice, HUGE portions. We tried the Rainbow, Passion and Ocean. They were all very flavorful and sweet, next time we will definitely share instead of getting our own.

    Da Sweet Spot by Bling Bing is that perfect quick stop when you want something refreshing but still a little extra, perfect on hot day after lunch. Went with the "Sunset" a vanilla soft serve base topped with strawberry and mango syrup, topped with fresh strawberries, and popping boba--and it just hit. The soft serve was super creamy, not overly sweet, and the combo of strawberry + mango gave it that bright, tropical flavor. The popping boba added a fun burst in every bite and made the whole thing feel a little elevated. Simple, fresh, and done right. Definitely a go-to dessert spot when you're in the area. 5/5

    If you're craving something cool, sweet, and a little different from your usual shave ice, Da Sweet Spot (formerly Bling Bing Maui) is a must-visit! Originally opened as a small food truck in 2022, they've since expanded into their current, more permanent setup "Da Sweet Spot" at South Maui Gardens in 2024, surrounded by a great mix of other local food trucks and eateries. They specialize in bao bing, a Taiwanese-style shave ice made from delicate, snowlike ice that they make with special filtered water. The fun part is building your own custom dessert -- pick a size, choose your condensed milk flavor (like regular or ube), and load up on toppings. The toppings rotate daily and my personal favorites are strawberries, rice balls, boba, and egg pudding. Fresh fruit is always a must! It's creamy, refreshing, and perfectly balanced -- definitely my favorite shave ice spot on island. I've brought friends and family here, and everyone's has loved their first bite. I usually order the shareable size with ube or regular condensed milk, and it never disappoints -- although the serving size sometimes varies depending on who's working. They also offer soft serve, traditional shave ice, and even have some cute branded merch if you want to grab a souvenir that supports a small Maui biz. It's the perfect spot to cool off! Whether you're a longtime bao bing fan or trying it for the first time, Da Sweet Spot delivers a dessert experience that's both delicious and totally customizable to your palate.

    Da Sweet Spot was such a fun little discovery on Maui. It's in this busy food truck area with tons going on -- random souvenir stands, different food options, a cute tortoise wandering around, gardens, just a really lively, touristy-but-charming kind of vibe. My partner actually found this place because we love Taiwanese shaved ice spots like Meet Fresh and Sul Bing on the mainland, and we wanted to see what Maui's version was like. We were absolutely not disappointed. Their take has a really tropical twist. We got an ube base and a strawberry one, and both flavors were super intense in a good way -- rich, creamy, and refreshing. The mochi was soft and chewy, and they sprinkled on this Chinese red candy powder that added a nice nostalgic sweetness. I also loved the edible flower garnish; it wasn't just pretty, it actually added a little texture and made the whole bowl feel special. Only downsides: the wild chickens around the food truck area are bold and will one hundred percent stalk you for your dessert, and the prices are on the higher side. But it's Maui, everything is pricey, and for me the quality and experience made it worth it. Overall, it ended up being one of my favorite dessert stops on the island.

    Absolutely a must. Shaved Ice to the maximum. We got the Hapa special which was shareable . Tropical and the Passion special. It has so much tropical fruit mochi , popping boba. The dessert was sweet but not Maui. Located in South Maui garden. Self service has table and chairs to enjoy while simmering ocean breeze.

    Rainbow with topics

    Very good! Huge serving and amazing topping selection. Reasonably priced, too. The garden was very enjoyable and the tortoise was HUGE!

    Ube shaved ice

    We got the shareable shaved ice with ube, red beans, lychee, and blackberries. It was refreshing, delicious, and artistically presented. The shaved ice justifies for the long wait- also the staff was friendly. There were also some nice, clean areas to sit around the shop.

    Located inside the South Maui garden. They are my second favorite after Ululani Shaved ice in Maui. Ordered the plain shaved ice with ube condensed milk, and mochi toppings and azuki. We also tried "ocean" that has a base of vanilla soft serve, blue raspberry and coconut flavor. Topping of popping boba. Both are good, they are just way too sweet I think because of the condensed milk. I suggest to asked them if they can go easy on condensed milk, because we didn't. And it's almost sugar coma. Plenty of tables and chairs.

    Da Sweet spot was our third shave ice this trip. They have the finest shave and softest mochi so far. We had the passion hapa, which was awesome. The lilikoi jam will crush any sweet tooth. It was very sweet, too sweet for me. I'm excited to try some real fruit options next time. The Maui South Garden that Da Sweet Spot is in is a very nice walkthrough with plenty of food and dessert options.

    Highly recommended! It's located in the food truck court. This was a pretty good shaved ice place. It was pretty heavy after eating dinner so I recommend sharing. Workers were friendly and the location had a really nice ambiance. There's a little area to eat next to this place. Great customer service and a must to compare against other shaved ice places!

    Sophia L.

    We got the individual serving with ube condensed milk, golden kiwi, strawberries, and extra mochi. We got our order quickly, under 5 mins. I loveee the ube flavor. There was a good amount of fruits. The mochi is a must add. The chewy texture with the shaved ice is the best combination. We sat down and there was tons of seating with shade. Great dessert after a hot day!

After looking over the menu and seeing some wild options like birthday cake and gummy bear, I ultimately decided to go with an Ono Hua, or shaved fruit. For my shave ice I went with a regular size and chose POG as my flavor. Since it was shaved fruit, he had to switch from the regular ice to one that already had the fruit in it. Once he finished making it, he asked if I wanted a sweetener on top and I chose the coconut. As soon as I walked away I took my first bite and wow was it good. The POG flavor was legit and while the lilikoi dominated, that is exactly what I like. I loved the sharpness from the passion fruit and how the real fruit flavors were allowed to shine. The ice itself was super fluffy and light which made it even better. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I really loved this shave ice and can't wait to bring my wife the next time we are in Maui.

We rushed over and waited about 20 minutes in line, which felt reasonable given the holiday. We ordered three flavors--mango, passion fruit, and Tiger's Blood--and added macadamia nut ice cream for an extra $3. Overall, the shave ice was fine, but nothing memorable. The ice itself wasn't as fluffy as Ululani's, which really affects the texture. The syrup flavors were also underwhelming. The mango flavor was a bit strange and didn't really taste like mango at all. The passion fruit and Tiger's Blood were better, but still not very bold or punchy. The macadamia nut ice cream was another letdown. It was taken straight out of the deep freezer and was rock hard at the bottom. To be fair, the employee did warn us, but for a $3 add-on, I expected a better experience. The ice cream flavor itself was just okay, and there weren't many macadamia nuts mixed in. Compared to other shave ice spots, this one falls short. The ice isn't as fluffy, the syrup flavors aren't as strong, and the value for what you get feels low. For reference, I'd give Ululani's a solid 4/5, and Waiola Shave Ice on Oahu is a 5/5 for me. Peace Love Shave Ice lands at a 3/5--fine if you're nearby or need a quick treat, but not a must-visit.
