    Front of Honu Shave Ice
    Tara S.

    Honu Shave Ice was great! It's the cutest little spot to enjoy a refreshing treat! There were a ton a flavors and flavor combinations to choose from along with some specials! You can have ice cream on the bottom (vanilla, coconut, or macadamia nut) and condensed milk on top if you choose. A line can form quickly so get there right at opening if you can. The service was friendly and efficient. A definite must stop if you love shave ice or if you have never tried it!

    Thai tea/coconut special, macadamia nut ice cream, topped with sweet cream and coconut cream.

    This little stand for shaved ice is nothing but amazing! The staff was very friendly, the flavors are house made and the shaved ice was delicious. My favorite part was the macadamia nut ice cream, not just vanilla like a lot of other places. I ordered the Thai tea special which made me a little nervous because I've only had fruit flavors before and it did not disappoint! Tasted just like a Thai tea but frozen! Honu is a must try on Kuaui!

    Great lil place next to the ABC store in Kapaa. Service is fairly quick once you place the order and the flavors are delicious. The area is shaded but not a ton of space to sit if it's crowded. Really enjoyable and the staff were very friendly. I'd stop through here again when in Kapaa.

    Don't be jealous! Just order a Thai Tea shaved ice, drizzled with coconut cream over haupia ice cream!

    What a creative array of combinations to choose from! Or, you can make up your own, but the BEST one is Thai Tea! The syrup is delicious over the pillowy ice and the coconut cream drizzle takes it to the next level. I added the haupia ice cream - so yummy!!! My only regret is that I got a small. Excellent job Honu Shave Ice!

    Hands down the best shave ice I've ever had! I was on Kauai for over a week and ended up coming back a ton. The owner and his daughter are so kind and gave us tons of recommendations for places around the island. What really sets it apart is that the owner makes all the syrups. The quality and flavor is so much better! If you're on Kauai, stop by and you won't be disappointed.

    Real good shaved ice. They have all natural flavors and non natural flavors. My husband had the thai tea shaved ice. He said it was the best he had ever had. I puck 3 flavors, watermelon, tiger blood, and pineapple.

    After eating an early lunch at the nearby BBQ place, I went into Skinny Mike's to get some dessert…read more I didn't see any sugar-free syrups for the shaved ice, so ended up getting a sundae. It turned out great. The NCL cruise ship was in town at the nearby Lihue, Kauai dock, so was expecting a lot of people around at this ice cream shoppe at the nearby Harbor Mall. There was only one hustling worker behind the counter, and she was trying her best to keep up, while maintaining her cool. Being in line for a bit, gave me time to study the menu, and I landed on ordering a S'mores Sundae ($11.75), described as 4 piece Graham crackers, 2 scoops of Macadamia ice cream, marshmallows (roasted) + Hot Fudge. After my order, she immediately to make it. What I really appreciated was that she put plenty of small marshmallows on top, and then used a small blow torch to roast the tops. My wife and I shared it, and we both agreed that it tasted like a freshly made Smores, but with really good ice cream added to it. It was delicious. It was the first time having it this way, and it really worked. Kudo's to whoever created this sundae.

    Coconut flake ice cream malted shake! Oh HECK yea!…read more This is definitely a local shop, not a chain. Walking in I'm hit with the various odors of treats and that coconut. -must -have -coconut.. The store itself is refreshingly cool. Floors and tables are clean and there is plenty of natural light through the large windows. Staff is very efficient and thorough. I got, of course, a coconut flake malted milkshake that was incredibly satisfying. The Mrs had a coconut flake ice cream on a waffle cone. Pretty sure she liked it, it was gone quick enough. We're putting a pin on the map for here. Next time we're in town, this will be a mandatory visit.

Since we got one of the combos that had ice cream, it was $7. The ice is so fluffy! It feels finer than bingsu. The flavors were light and went really well together. I loved the mac nut ice cream at the bottom and while I don't like nut pieces in my dessert, I really liked this one. I am actually curious to know what ice cream they use. The staff here was so friendly and I loved how you could get souvenirs and shaved ice at this spot. I'll definitely come back here for shaved ice when I am in the Kapaa area. There is some street parking and a tiny lot near by. We got lucky going on a weekday afternoon to find parking. There is a small bench outside for eating the shaved ice.
