I made an account just to leave this review. I used to love this place- id meet with my friends and the employees would be sweet, and attentive, sadly I cannot say anything positive about this establishment. We had two events that were supposed to be held here, one was quite out of the blue (so I understand the outcome) we called into the shop and no one was there (although it says it is open) I was just disappointed due to the lack of warning or signage but I still understand- the second time though is unacceptable. We had an event planned at this location for two months, the day we were going to go in we wanted to call ahead and let them know a large group would be coming in- no answer. We arrived and it was closed. PLEASE for the love of GOD. Run a functioning business- with regular hours or at least provide updates to a website/signage so people don't plan to have an outing there- if you want returning customers please act like it. I'm so sad to leave this review- I really do love this place their icecream and employees are so pleasant but I will have to find somewhere else to go. I wish the owners the best and o hope management and fix this and make this place enjoyable again read more

Our usual shaved ice place is closed on Sundays, and a quick search led us to Hokulia. This place is great. They sell shaved ice, ice cream, and smoothies. I had a simple short board (small) shaved ice with strawberry colada syrup. The ice was perfectly snowy, not hard and crunchy. The syrup had serious flavor and was very satisfying. Two persons in our party tried the ice cream and had good things to say. There are so many options in this shop that it will require repeat visits. read more

Really awesome little joint! It's a bit out of the way for me, but worth the drive. The shaved ice is awesome and they put plenty of syrup on it and the ice cream is awesome! The person at the counter was also super sweet and offered us a thorough tour of the menu, which was super helpful. Prices are also pretty reasonable for being a small business. 10/10! I'll almost certainly be back :) read more

Wow. This is a really awesome spot. They have shaved ice and Hawaiian flavors of ice cream and sorbet. I tried something new for me a combination of colada shaved ice and a scoop of lava flow ice cream. They also do milkshakes and smoo read more

Hokulia - A lotta Colada shaved ice and Lava Flow ice cream. The wife had a mango coconut combination - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

Hokulia reminds our Ohana of home!! We are addicted!! The BEST shaved ice in KS!! The service is phenomenal!

This place is by far the best shaved ice I've been to! My current pregnancy cravings has been shaved ice and I've been to multiple stands and their ice just doesn't seem as "fresh" and fine as how I'd like it until i tried Hokulia! I also love all of their variety of basic and unique flavors. Every time when I have family or friends coming into town I will definitely take them here. Also the service is quick and great! Highly recommend the 808 and add coconut ice cream to the middle! read more

Beat the heat with a sweet treat from Hokulia Shave Ice! You may have seen this truck at events, parties, festivals and fairs, or driving around Kansas City, but did you know there was a Hokulia Shave Ice shop in Olathe, Kansas? This authentic Hawaiin soft shaved ice shop serves flavorful options ranging from cherry Cola, cake batter, fruit punch, red velvet, strawberry cheesecake, tiger's blood, to pink bubblegum. I tried the pink lemonade flavor and was extremely happy! You should also try the premium Hawaiian ice cream flavors such as Brownies on the Moon, Pistachio Almond Fudge, Maui Mango Sorbet, and more! read more

There's nothing about this place that ISN'T GREAT! I lived in Hawaii as a boy and every weekend I could count on monapua and shaved ice. Nothing compares to "Hawaiian shaved ice". I've been to every state (I travel a lot) & this place and Hawaii are the only places I've had such perfection. The flavors stay IN the ice throughout. The service is SUPER TOP NOTCH! I'd love to have a franchise and work it every day because it's hard to be sad when you have something so good and the world could use more smiles! Love, love, LOVE this shop and I'm blessed to have found it! THANK YOU!!! read more

Came across this place while leaving a nearby restaurant. The name intrigued me because I had spent time in Hawaii. Lo and behold it's ice cream and shave ice. YUMM! I highly recommend the Lychee and the Lo Hong Mui flavors. The place is nice, clean and very fast service. Highly recommend! read more

Hokulia - Short board shave ice with Lychee and Li Hong Mui flavors - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

Hawaiian rainbow was delicious. The small was just enough for one person. The ice cream also looked good. I wasn't expecting there to be so many options. read more

Wow! This is not at all what I expected when my daughter begged to try Hokulia. I've had shaved ice before...I've had snow cones before...this is totally different. They offer 32 exotic and delicious ice cream flavors that can be eaten alone, or sandwiched in between shaved ice layers. The shaved ice here is light and fluffy instead of small chunks of ice dripping with syrup, and they offer 50 flavors that can be ordered alone or combined with others. There are literally hundreds of flavor and ingredient combinations available. They also offer 22 different smoothies, but we didn't try them on this visit. There are so many choices that you might try more than one treat because whatever you order from Hokulia the prices are great! The store itself is bright, clean, inviting and really fun in general, and the employees are sweet, fast, and knowledgeable about their products. This is such a unique place and it takes shaved ice to a whole new level. It is definitely worth a short drive to College and Woodland to experience Hokulia. read more

Here is the thing, all 4 of us (me, my husband, and two daughters) do like this place. However, I PERSONALLY do not like it as much as Sylas and Maddy's but my husband who likes shaved ice more than ice cream prefers this over Sylas and Maddy's. I liked Hokulia more before this current visit. They have been out of Kona Coffee Chip the past two times we were here so we called prior to our visit to ask. The kid we spoke to said they had it in stock even confirmed they we out of the other coffee flavor they carry but verified they DID have the Lona Coffee Chip. So we drove here instead of Sylas & Maddy's so we all good get what we wanted. We get there and they did not have Kona Coffee Chip and when we asked about it since we drove here specifically for that flavor, the kid that my husband spoke to on the phone was extremely rude about it, we asked why he didn't actually check before confirming if it was there or not and he said, "I couldn't check because I was on the phone with you, what did you want me to do about it?." Completely rude disrespectful kid which is NOT what we have come accustomed to when it come Ks to the friendly atmosphere of Hokulia. We have always (until today) had superb customer service here. There is NO reason this kid could not have said the phone down and went and actually verify that it was in store, or ask another employee to go look for him. This is the problem nowadays with these kids working in these places is some of them are lazy it would've taken less than 30 seconds to check, if that. But no, he couldn't be bothered to check before verifying. After today I'm not sure if we will frequent here as much as we have been. Honestly, for me, I wasn't that bummed about them being out, yes it sucked because I was looking forward to it but it saved me the calories. It was the kids attitude snotty "don't give a damn" that ticked me off and made me not wanna come back at all. The two other young girls working here looked embarrassed by his behavior and continuously apologized. Would've given a 4/5 but this experience and behavior was worth losing a star. His read more

What a gem, this place is! I can't believe I didn't know about this until now. The dining area and restrooms are immaculately clean and the whole place just has a place vibe. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They even have a drive-thru! I got the longboard sized Kona Sunset, which is shaved ice with Mango, Guava, and passionfruit. The colors did indeed look like a beautiful sunset. For $1 more, I added a scoop of Big Island Vanilla bean ice cream in the middle and for $.75 I added the snow cap on top. If you can do dairy, I definitely recommend this. It's magnificent, from a little tangy from the fruit to the creaminess of the ice cream and snow cap. They also have smoothies, a wide selection of ice cream and even Kona coffee. Could this place get any better? I will definitely be back. I want to bring my family and friends here for a nice little treat. read more

Great shaved ice and other treats. Really friendly staff who take great care of you. I love the hawaiian sunrise smoothie- my fave!

I got a cake batter/vanilla snocone. With the condensed milk cream on top. I came in like 2 minutes before they closed. I walked in and asked if they were closed. They said no looks like you made it right on time. They took my order and they did not make my feel rushed or pressured at all. My snocone was great and looked good too. I appreciated the great service even though I was walking in right before they closed. I will definitely be back here! read more

Excellent customer service. we walked in and got greeted immediately. she might have been the owner but regardless, she was happy to let us try whatever flavor we wanted and gave us many recommendations on shaved ice. we ended up with a short board of lychee, guava, and watermelon. we added ice cream on the bottom too. of course she let us try the ice creams too. we ended up with pineapple sherbert. it was delicious regardless of the 30 degree weather. a craving is a craving no matter what. after we finished, she let us try some of the popcorn. so many flavors to choose from. some very interesting ones like the pickle, apple pie, and ranch. overall good place for a quick dessert and expect fantastic service read more

First time here. Wonderful selection, though our young brains were overwhelmed :) They enjoyed their choices and we plan on coming back again! read more

I'm not a huge shaved ice fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed Hokulia! I usually get a strawberry flavor, but my friend convinced me to ask for sweetened condensed milk on top and my life was TRANSFORMED. Such a great idea!! They also have popcorn and ice cream. I tasted some of the cookies & cream, but wasn't really a fan. Overall, it was a fun experience! read more

This place rocks! My first time yesterday and I went to the drive-thru (which is an amazing perk!) I was expecting to receive a shaved ice that would drip all over on my 20 min drive home but nope, they had lids and a secure container so I was a happy camper. I got two flavors but you can get up to three and this treat was so yummy! I recommend checking the flavor menu prior to going since they have 50 flavors and the combos are endless. I got wedding cake + strawberry cheesecake and it was so tasty, I ate all of mine. I will definitely be back!!! read more

Hokulia - Medium size - wedding cake + strawberry cheesecake shaved ice - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

Ordered half cream soda/half strawberry cheesecake with ice cream and snow cap. Husband ordered Kona mocha shake. After waiting over 45m in the drive thru (we would have left... but we're stuck in the drive thru if unmoving cars)... we got the wrong order. I got a half red/half purple shaved ice with no ice cream and no snow cap. Flavor was good... but Ive never been more disappointed to wait for something I didn't want. My husband said his shake didn't gave any coffee flavor and tasted like fruit and chocolate.. he's disappointed too. No apology or sense of urgency for the long wait. read more

Hokulia - I have no idea what they gave me... but it's not what I paid for... :( - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

I really wanted to like this place. I love my Hawaiian shaved ice with the natural flavors and fine ice. This was the opposite the flavoring was way too artificial. I do not recommend this place for shaved ice. read more

Had a great time here with my family, everyone was very patient and accommodating, it made for a great experience. There are sooooo many flavors of ice cream to choose from in addition to the shaved ice. We are new fans, we'll definitely be back! read more

Great place that deserves your business! Staff is always friendly and accommodating, prices are fair and flavors are great. Very clean establishment and different than all the other Sno Cone shops in KC. The Drive-thru is a great convenience as well. read more

Kelly and her team are amazing, great product, great experience, every time. The Lava flow smoothie is my favorite!!

I spent 20 minutes in the drive-through line just to find out that they were out of most flavors of ice cream. There were no signs prior to getting to the order window to let us know that their selection was incredibly limited. Then I spent another 10 minutes waiting to get out of the line. Almost adding insult to injury because I didn't order from their limited list. They really should put signs out before you get committed to their drive-thru saying that they have no product. read more

The best shaved ice I've ever had. You must go, you won't be disappointed. My kids and I love it.

I ordered some flavored popcorn party bags for a baby shower and they were awesome. I contacted the store owner to discuss what I needed and she helped me with how much popcorn I would need then said they could assemble the flavors I selected into party bags - which was huge time saver for me. I picked up my order and they were ready to go - no assembly required on my part. Everyone at the shower loved the 4 flavors I selected. Would highly recommended for quality and customer service. read more

Came here to get some spicy popcorn for mother's day. I bought my mom white cheddar habanero and a very small bag of ghost pepper. She went over my grandma's and brothers house to share and she said my brother put up his begging bowl after trying the white cheddar one and my grandma said the ghost pepper was too hot but she enjoyed them, I will be back to try the snow cone. read more

Drove 30 minutes here and it says they open at 12 but when I got there it said 2pm. Ridiculous. Then the owner came up to me and had a very bad attitude. Will not be going here ever again. Would not recommend. read more

Great variety of flavors you can't find anywhere else! They have ice cream, smoothies and shave ice. Amazing service and a great family treat. read more

Great neighborhood icecream & snow cone venue. Very nice owner who really seems to appreciate your business.

This place is just down right awesome. The customer service is superb. I was in with my boys getting some ice cream and I thought when I ordered that I may have forgotten to tell the employees that I ordered a shake. I mentioned this to the manager just to make sure I didn't make an error when ordering and she had the shake made and gave us a free coupon for the wait. It was not even a long wait and was more on me but this shows you what kind of a great business this is. One that takes care of their customers no matter what. Thank you for being such a great customer friendly place. We will definitely make this a regular spot for our ice cream and shaved ice. read more

Great ice cream! Lots of good choices and very clean. Nice neighboorhood place, staff is very helpful!
