Best shaved ice on the island. I like mine with macadamia nuts in ice cream. The mango, guava one does the trick. Consistency is good. Well worth it. No artificial HFCS flavoring Been around since 1993 or so read more

We tried several different brands shaved ice this recent trip and JoJo's in Kauai along with Matsumoto's on Oahu are the absolute best. At Jo Jo's we had the Big Kauna (40 oz) North Shore #16 and it was super fantastic. First of all, it defied science by surviving 85 degree heat while my kid and I plowed through this ice mountain with only the barest hint of meltage. read more

Favorite shaved ice that I had while here. Lot of different flavors, ice creams, and toppings to customize. Getting it with the mochi is great too read more

We had some time before we went to a luau. Our tour drops us off in the town and we walked to JoJo's shave ice. I am not one for snow cones, or any kind of shaved ice however, when I heard it is the best and I need to try it, that is exactly what I did. I got the rainbow shaved ice, and it was spectacular! The flavor was phenomenal! This made for a really tasty and refreshing treat. Such a cool place and I hope you stop here and enjoy it as much as we did. read more

Best shaved ice I've had during my week stay in Kauai and Waikiki. They have benches with shade to let you enjoy their tasty shave ice! Service was fast and brisk and is a counter service like all of the other shave ice. But man what makes them different is the ice cream base and the delicious condensed milk and coloring flavors tasted so much better than any other ones I've tried. It really hit the spot after touring Waimea Canyon. Must stop after a day at Waimei Canyon! read more

The last time I was at a jojo's was when I was 12 years old on a volleyball trip in middle school. Prices have skyrocketed and vibes have changed, but the shave ice here was still delicious after a long day of hiking up in koke'e. My hubby and I shared a large, which was the perfect treat. The menu lists about 10 different flavor/topping combinations, all very reminiscent of island influence. There are a couple other locations on island as well, so jojos is accessible no matter where on Kauai you are. read more

Oh dang! Their flavor combinations are the most refreshing I've ever had on this island. My favorite are the ones with macadamia nut ice cream. And lets talk about their syrups... they have more flavor in them than other shaved ice competitors! I would stick to the tropical fruit flavors, as they seem more refreshing on a hot humid day. We had the banana split and wished we didn't. That is one that we won't revisit ever again. Nice customer service. Service seemed fast to us, so, not sure why other Yelpers are complaining... but we def lucked out with speediness. read more

I came here a few years ago when I visited Waimea. Today, after a long hike, I decided to make a pit stop for a well-deserved treat. I got the mango, Lilikoi, guava shave ice with li hing mui drizzle, which was amazing! I've had the powder, but never the drizzle. It was the perfect sour topping for a very sweet treat. I'm removing a star solely because the sign out front said they had 1/4 lb all beef hotdogs, but my boyfriend got a dog and it was tiny and sad. We still ate it, but it was definitely the size of those little Oscar Meyer dogs from the refrigerator section at the grocery store. read more

tasty ice for the most part with some nice cream on top! shaved ice itself was well shaved and flavors were decent, perhaps it's just me but it was a bit pricey at $7 given its water and homemade syrup/cream! maybe i just didn't order the right stuff read more

We saw this place on out drive to the canyon. So happy we stopped on the way back. The shaved ice was amazing. We have had many different shaved ice places but this one was good. The macadamia ice at the bottom alone gets 5 stars. Nice chunks of nuts. I could have just ate that alone. We got the large size and it feed 3 of us. The taste was amazing and they have so many different flavors to chose from. A MUST STOP!!! Don't pass it ip read more

LOVED this place, me and my family were craving it our entire Hawaii trip. Can't wait to come back!

Good flavors. The shave on these things is so critical and yet you see businesses flubbing it from time to time - not JoJo's! Good shave. Recommended! read more

Oh my gosh! This place is heavenly!!!! I can eat a cup of A'Lotta Coloda every day and some times twice a day!!! The vanilla ice cream at the bottom of those 3 syrups and a coating of the Haupia Cream is AMAZING!!!!! If you haven't had it, stop what you're doing, go get one now! Any of the 5 locations on Kauai will be delicious and they are all staffed with friendly young ladies! I cannot wait to return to the island for this read more

My mother-in-law recommended JoJo's to my husband and I, and I'm glad we were able to stop in. I really just like the shaved ice without any toppings or ice cream, so I just got blue raspberry, cherry, and coconut flavoring and it was so yummy. My husband tried the POG'd up. My husband asked what the li hung mui was the girl explained it's like chamoy but it's sour instead of spicy. He decided to try it and was glad he did. It added an interesting flavor. He really enjoyed his. Also they have a fridge with soda. I originally didn't see that they had Diet Coke, and when I mentioned that the girl was very nice to point out they do have it but it was just in the back of the fridge. Really great service. They have an outdoor seating area with shade. Super cute vibes. read more

Shaved ice has artificial taste to the fruit flavors, the colors are artificial looking as well. We tried a #2 and it tasted like cotton candy or bubble gum instead of guava, lilikoi and mango. The macadamia nut ice cream at the bottom was good. It wasn't super soft shaved ice, I will look elsewhere. read more

Wow there were a lot of different combinations of shaved ice. My wife and I were having a difficult time deciding which one to order. We ended up going with the North Shore, just because we hadn't seen the Melona flavor before. It was refreshing and I love how it all sort of melts together with the macadamia ice cream at the bottom. The haupia cream didn't have too strong of a coconut taste, which was good for my wife because she dislikes coconut. I will say that of the various shaved ice places we tried, JoJo's had the most artificial tasting bowl we tried. That's not necessarily a knock, especially since they do make their own syrups, but it is something we noticed. (For reference, we tried another shaved ice place immediately after JoJo's, which is why this stuck out so much). I learned that the Waimea location is the original location, with the original sign still in front of the store, which is a fun touch. read more

It might have been because we had just come off a long, hot, rough boat tour, but this shave ice really hit the spot! Their syrups are homemade with cane sugar and no corn syrup. I highly recommend the Colada Special over the macadamia nut ice cream with the Haupia Cream on top. It's even better than having a Miami Vice. The rest of the group tried many of the fruity flavors and all were enjoyed! I also appreciate that JoJo's opens at 11am, where others aren't available until the afternoon. We'll be back! read more

We went here dying of thirst after our Waimea Canyon hike. The Da Kine size (28 oz) of tropical breeze was plenty to share between two people! Light and refreshing ice atop house made macadamia ice cream was exactly what I needed, though I felt the syrup was on the sweeter side. I also love that all their profits go towards the less privileged kids! Other notes: Street parking; no issues. FAST and friendly service. Outdoor seating Accepts credit card read more

My wife and I are on vacation and took a drive around the island for some sight seeing. Along the way we stopped at this shave ice spot. It's a small place that packs a bunch of flavors. It was very refreshing and the staff are friendly. This is a happening spot as one for the staff member stated we got lucky it's not busy now 10 mins ago she had a line out the door. It was around 11am and she said that it's gets busy again around 2-3 pm. After having their shave ice o can see why. Definitely one of the stops to put on the list if you ever visit the area. read more
