    a cup of ice cream
    Michael B.

    This place serves true shaved ice . Very casual hangout place near dicks parking lot. Service was friendly and helpful. Definitely shareable portions , the " shortboard" is most certainly enough for 2 ppl , and not expensive . Ordered the allcolada , that was delicious . They have children sized portion as well. Seating is limited, there's a small lawn area you could bring your blankets and what not.

    This is legit Hawaiian Shave Ice!!! Ice cream underneath, sweet cream on top, tons of flavors. If you miss the good stuff from Hawai'i, you can get your fix here. I highly recommend it. This is a trailer right behind Starbucks in Centerville. Plenty of parking. Perfect treat for these hot summer nights.

    What a fun alternative to the traditional ice cream treat. We stopped by on a whim. It's tucked away in the corner of the Chevron station next to Smith's. We caught them right before closing and we're delighted to see it lit with colorful string lights making it a nice place to sit and enjoy our treat. We ordered "the local" with banana coconut ice and a macadamia ice cream center topped off with a "snow cap" drizzled sweetened condensed milk. It was a delicious flavor combination. Serve was great. The young man who helped us guided our flavor selection since it was our first time. What a great experience! We will be back before leaving town.

    Aaah yes good times here. Nothing says summer is here more than chowing on a cold, refreshing Hokulia shave ice while soaking up the warmth of the setting sun. We went here quite a bit last summer. I'm surprised I didn't have a review for them. This is my absolute favorite place to get shave ice. Actually, in my opinion, it's the only place to get it. In the times I've been there, I've been set on one flavor before getting there, so I'm only familiar with allotta colada and tigers blood and my ultimate fave, Dakine ("the best" in Hawiian). Dakine is a mix of tigers blood and blue Hawaii....so pretty much, coconut, strawberry, watermelon, a little more coconut and Hawaiian punch mixed into a sinful mound of melt in your mouth snow. Ughhh yum! This time we got kiwi, apple and lime. We got the coconut ice cream in the middle and then had them top it with the snow cap drizzle. It was tasty! Slightly tart, mellowed out by the sweet snow cap and a bite of coconut ice cream. Snow cap is sweetened condensed milk and boy, it's goooood! I believe they also offer a sour spray like a spritz. I believe they have shaved coconut too. You don't have to get all the toppings or the ice cream filling. You can just get a cup of shaved ice with your choice of flavoring. You won't be disappointed no matter which way you go. The texture of shave ice is super velvety smooth. Instead of balling up into an ice cube after you've sucked all the flavor out, it melts in your mouth. It's choice! The sizes are are huge, humongous, and ginormous. Ginormous, meaning The Kahuna. It's the biggest. It's 9" of insanity piled in a flimsy plastic bowl. It was fun at first, but it got incredibly messy and sticky half way through. Two and a half of us split it, and couldn't finish it. That was even after literally half of it avalanched into the table. I wasn't sure if I needed napkins or the ski patrol to help clean it up. It was an experience that even though messy, no one should miss. Just bring some wet wipes. You have been warned. Now carry on my wayward son. Find your nearest Hokulia!!

However, I have been here two times, and they are always out of something. Last time, they didn't have a sprinkle waffle bowl. This time, I wanted a normal blonde brownie hot fudge sundae. I was disappointed when they were out of blonde brownies. What shocked me was they were also out of vanilla ice cream AND whipped cream! I couldn't believe it. An ice cream shop being out of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream is like a burger shop being out of burgers. It's outrageous! The situation sounds like a bit from a comedy. Alas, it is the reality of this place: they are consistently out of something every time I visit. Because the staff was friendly and helpful, I suspect that the problem begins with management. The owners need to speak with the managers (or whoever keeps the products in stock), so they can perform inventory checks and ensure that they keep the bare basics available for customers (like vanilla ice cream and whipped cream). If this place goes under, it will be because of their inability to keep items they offer in stock. Sadly, I will not return. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." They will not get a chance to fool me thrice, not even for *thrice* cream ;)

I was driving so I just did a quick internet search of nelsons which brought up the I believe millcreek location which I dialed. I wasnt sure which I reached while I was on the phone until I asked if it was the bountiful location (which is closest to me). When I realized I didnt have bountiful I asked if I could get the bountiful location phone number. the girl who answered said she didnt have the number and didnt even offer to look it up. I asked if she could look it up and she wouldn't. Then I found the bountiful number, called it, I asked if I could place an order for take out, the guy who answered said "I'm not sure", then put me on hold, he got back on the phone and said :I can't take your order." So I thought f)((* it, I dont need to support a place w/horrible customer service. No other restaurant or fast food place would never not take my order. I will never darken Nelsons door and we ended up at burger king with the whopper which was fine with us. customer service to these people means very little.

It was full of retro, lighting, booths, and decor. And asking the girl at the front for the best sandwich or the most popular one and she recommended the turkey bacon avocado. I ended up getting an 8 inch of that with some miscellaneous toppings with a drink and a snickerdoodle cookie. I was impressed by the amount of toppings such as bacon and avocado that were put on the sandwich, in a good way. In the end was actually pretty good. I do realize that at these kind of places the sandwich being good depends on what you put on it but nonetheless, I enjoyed my sandwich and cookie while reading a book in the corner. While comparison to Subway still stands it is more pricey, the combo with the eight inch sandwich ran me about $18, so wow good is not the front runner in terms of value. Another plus is that they do have farrs ice cream that you can get as well. All in all, a good sandwich shop and somewhere local to support! 3.75/5

So, the process took some time. Think, basically the opposite process of Jimmy John's, but more entertaining. The sandwich itself (turkey bacon avocado) was pretty good- half an avocado was scooped out right onto my sandwich, and the bacon was fried up right then. And the pricing is very reasonable. I wouldn't recommend the combo, because the cookies are comically tiny/not good and made me want to visit Cutler's right after.

There are many elements that make a shave ice beyond amazing and I have a checklist to see if a shave ice place meets my requirements. The Daily Shave Ice did not disappoint! The first item I look for is flavor. The Daily Shave Ice has a variety of flavors, including sugar free. They have the classic flavors (tigers blood) to the tropical flavors (mango) that I always order on my shave ice. Bonus points if they offer additional items to add to it, like ice cream on the bottom and condensed milk on top. The Daily Shave offers both and I absolutely recommend it. Together, it totally elevates the shave ice. The second item is the quality of ice. This ice was very smooth and snow like. The softer the ice, the better it is. What I wasn't expecting was the size. They really pack on the ice! I ordered a small and it was massive. It was a fun surprise when I picked it up at the window. Overall, this place knows how to make a shave ice. The ice is soft, the flavors are awesome and the size is huge. A great treat on a summer day.

If you ever get the chance look for them on facebook as they always post where they'll be located throughout summer. They also will come to your event, just give them a call. You will not be disappointed
