As a a funnel cake fan I had to go try it out. Overall very solid batter nice and fluffy and lots of flavor. Lots of options as well and toppings to choose from. The service is pretty quick and the staff seem chill. For me the downside would be that their ice cream is just okay. Would recommend if you're a funnel cake lover. Wouldn't recommend if you're on a diet.

So good to know some sweet treats are just 10 min away. Thank goodness my nephew told me about this place. My husband got the Kona Mocha and I got the Maui Sunrise. The Kona Mocha is like a coffee smoothie. Not overly sweet or too bitter. Perfect blend of ice, coffee choc and sweet cream. The Maui Sunrise was sooooo good! Unlike other shave ice spots, their prices are very reasonable AND they don't skimp on the flavored syrup. The yummy flavors went all the way down to the ice cream. Can't wait to try their other goodies!

We made…read moretwo visits at their new location at 22 Alahele Pl, Kihei, HI 96753 during this recent Sept 2026 trip. We probably would've gone more if we weren't so full from all the other good eats on the island. On our 1st visit, we ordered Ube cheesecake, cookie butter & Bavarian cream. All were delicious but Ube was our fave. So on our 2nd visit, we ordered Ube (again), crème brûlée & peanut butter cup. Again, it was all so good. Sabrina & John were super friendly. They interacted with their customers with so much aloha. It was also Sabrina's birthday one of the days we came by so she shared extra malasadas & even gave me a rose from her birthday bouquet. How sweet was that?! When you have delicious items plus great service, that would make you want to keep supporting the business.

Manuela's has the best malasadas on Maui, hands down. I first tried them when she was across from…read moreCostco. I tracked her down to her new location on the west side of the "food paradise" in Kihei. They are sold in 3's. They are made to order and you select the sugar and filling on each one. This is incredible customer service. Each malasada is large and filling and the fillings are delectable. There are tables nearby, but I usually take them home to enjoy while watching my Dodger games. Do not miss out on this treat when you visit Maui. If I'm 3 bills by winter, this will be why! Just in time for whale season!

She let us sample a few different flavors before settling on our choices. My husband decided on the Kona Mud Pie while I opted for the Banana Mac Crunch. We enjoyed our scoops while sitting on one of their benches. We both felt that the flavors were decent, but the texture of the ice cream was a little "freezer burned" - we found chunks of ice in it, which was off putting. All in all, if you're craving a sweet treat, and you don't want traditional Hawaiian shaved ice, come check it out.

A healthy and refreshing treat for the whole family!…read more Reef Ice Cream was a big hit with our family! Reef is located in a parking lot and the truck is vibrant and inviting, beautifully decorated with lush green plants, making it super photo friendly. The ordering process is simple. You choose your base, pick the fruit you want blended in, and they make it fresh right in front of you. You can enjoy it in either a cone or a cup. There are a couple of picnic tables behind the truck that can comfortably seat about 10-12 people, which was nice for our family to sit and enjoy our treats together in the shade. Our only suggestion would be to add some shade for guests waiting in line. It gets pretty hot standing in direct sunlight, especially when there's a longer wait. That said, the quality, freshness, and healthier ingredients made it well worth the stop. Both the kids and the parents loved it, and we'd definitely recommend checking it out!

Reef's Real Fruit Ice Cream is a small food truck in Kihei that serves New Zealand-style real fruit…read moreice cream. What makes it New Zealand-style is that you choose the specific fruits you want and they blend it into your ice cream for you. It's located at the South Maui Gardens food truck park so you walk up to order and there are a couple tables to sit. We ordered a cup ($10) with vanilla ice cream. Our fruits were mango, strawberry, and lilikoi (an off-menu item that the worker told us about). We also added a drizzle of honey on top ($0.75). We then watched the worker put everything together into a nice swirl in our cup. The taste of the ice cream was good and it tasted pretty healthy to me. It's like a mix of a soft serve and a fruit smoothie with its texture on top with the creaminess of the ice cream.

You can tell that they've put a lot of TLC in their locally owned and operated small business! Don't let the simple product fool you...they pack their ice creation with a fresh fruity punch! Their product reminds me of many things I love, for one, Tasaka Guri Guri which I grew up having and also a restaurant I love on Oahu, Jejubing (Korean Ice dessert), to Filipino Halo Halo (minus all the fuss with jellies lol). Once you step into the cool AC shop, you'll be transported back to the 80's/90's with the hip retro decor of the black and white checkered tiles all around, arcade game system, surf board along the wall and a totally rad Trapper Keeper with photos of satisfied customers!! I went twice in the past two weeks and it always hit the spot!! It's been so hot and humid in Kihei especially with back to back...to back storm systems so something cold and refreshing is just perfect! But honestly year round, I will find myself craving this. During our first visit, the owner Jason let us sample everything that our hearts desired. He explained the process and making each batch in house and choosing the local flavor profiles! I love how there's local ingredients and fruits used like Lemons (you might even see a box in store), Passion Fruit, Coconut and Hami Melon to name a few! My favorite (as you could see by multiple photos lol) is the Hami Melon (think Canteloupe's prettier and sweeter sister lol) and Coconut combo (which was pretty much Haupia-Coconut Pudding) and adding that Creamy add on of Condensed Milk is a game changer. I mean it was giving Halo Halo vibes! I tried everything from POG, to the Pineapple Scoop Ice (that one reminds me of Guri Guri), to Lychee, to Coconut Coffee...and Jason gave us an unreleased sample of Japanese Whiskey with Miso Caramel! All I gotta say is 1000000000000/10! We were honored to sample that! I will highly recommend this to friends and family and I know I'll be a repeat customer.

I know every place and person will claim they have the best recipe out there, but this was actually so delicious! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the banana flavor was perfect without being too sweet. I had a whole loaf by myself traveling along the Road to Hana without even realizing it! And for it to be nut-free and sugar-free was really impressive to me. While here, I also grabbed a mango smoothie, which wasn't too special - though it wasn't mango season, so I don't blame them - and a couple of Island Dream Bars. If you're an Almond Joy fan, then I highly recommend the Island Dream Bar; it felt like a homemade, better version of an Almond Joy with macadamia nuts, coconut flakes, and chocolate baked into a cookie bar.

This place deserves so much more recognition! I only tried one flavor (they have Vanilla and Ube…read morewhen I came, but coated in various toppings), but it was amazing. I had the Ube Rice Krispie Ice Cream Bar and it was probably the best Ube flavored dessert I've had (I'm based in Bay Area, CA where Ube desserts are ubiquitous), and my favorite dessert during my 11-day stay in Maui (yes I liked it more than Ululani's). It's in a very lowkey spot (ice cream truck), and I fortuitously passed by on my walk back to my apartment. I initially only saw the white (probably coconut) layer, but biting into the bar, I was pleasantly surprised with the vibrant purple color and strong ube flavor. I'm the type who doesn't like overwhelmingly sweet but also enjoy strong flavors. The ube bar exceeded my expectations - it was sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet (the perfect sweetness which is rare for desserts for me) with a delicious ube flavor. The woman who took my order was very friendly despite me coming 10 min before closing. I discovered this place on the last night of my trip, but wish I had found out about this place earlier, I definitely would have come multiple times.
