The flavors were great and I love the fruits! If at any point you wanted more syrup all you have to do is ask. The second time my son got the Da Ube One and I got the root beer float with ice cream. It is a must to get ice cream with the root beer float. The place is always busy with people enjoying the refreshing shaved ice.

We ordered the Ube and regretted not getting it with ice cream or "snow capped." But the flavor was still good! With that being said, the operations hit a few snags. The staff is really young and not super efficient. They were chatting quite a bit and I could tell it was slowing the process down. Seating is also limited during peak hours, so prepare to take it outside if necessary. For the experience, it's worth it. For the price and the wait? I'd probably skip next time.

We sampled all the flavors, and honestly, every single one was delicious. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Kauai! It's a smaller establishment but they have seating outside with covers. The service was very friendly.

The UBE and POG Malasadas I tried are delicious on their own way, with the UBE being mildly sweet and wonderfully satiating and POG is nice and fruity. I didn't think it was too sweet or had too much filling at all, and I don't like donuts with fillings typically. For all these reasons, I think tourists and locals alike should try this place at least once.

The shop is hidden behind a shopping plaza so follow the signs along the way. Service is great - Tim and Jess, the owners, are so friendly. They will come out and chat with you if it's not too busy! We ordered 4 different flavors (mango, strawberry, injeolmi, and coffee) to try but I only got pics for two of them. They were all beautifully crafted and tasted so fresh with every bite. The ice is so powdery too! Familee really does not skimp out on ingredients and are very generous with their portions. My family really liked everything we ordered and will definitely recommend Familee to everyone who visits Kauai. Mahalo Tim and Jess!

The flavors blend local flare and Asian influence, including matcha and ube, which we ordered. We will definitely be back on our next trip and were happy to have something a little different than our normal shave ice routine! Definitely don't be in a rush when you get here. There's lots of space to sit outside the storefront, but it does take about 5 min to make each dessert...so don't wait for your friends to enjoy if you get yours first!

Once upon a time I was on a search for a birthday pie for my visit to the island of Kaua'i. I found…read morea local menu, but lost it. Once I checked my wingman Yelp, Kapa'a Apple Pie Company appeared on the list. The unique crust and fruit cuts caught my eye, and moreso the extended scone flavors! I shopped through their website and found my potential flavor to be listed as sold out. I immediately sent a Yelp message to the business. Lucky for me the pie artist and owner responded within the day. I asked for a mango cream pie and was relieved Wayne was able to make my request happen within a week's notice, and even when mangoes aren't in season. I also ordered a tray of ube coconut scones, and finalized the detail in a quick and easy manner. The pick up was simple, and Wayne was so genuine in welcoming me to the island, and giving me further instructions in preserving the pie. There was even a thank you note attached. He bid us a well wishing farewell and safety for the rest of our stay. Our family was delighted with the balance of cream to mango. Refreshing was correct, Mango-cream-so-ono good!!! My MIL could not stop talking about the beauty of the crust and how amazing it tasted. The crust reminded me of shortbread cookies and it was decadently flakey enough to eat on its own. We were able to cut the pie in 8, and everyone finished their piece even after a large meal!! Once the family tried the ube scones, they could not stop at one. Each scone was so soft and tasty even my baby neice happily ate it. My significant other barely made it out the door with the last scone!! There was just so much Aloha put within the baked goods and much appreciated Aloha from the Kapa'a pie company. Mahalo nui loa for making this an easy transaction and setting off my Kaua'i visit on a wonderful note!!
