Been about 8 years since I've gone and took my GF today to have a shaved ice. Unfortunately the quality is nothing like it use to be when the the older man (i guess the owner) use to work at the window. Really not sweet and had very little flavor and syrup. At least the ' sour blast ' is still good. ‍I guess knowing how good they use to be discourages me from going back. At least the service is still fast and polite. read more

I came here with a mom friend in the middle of summer. It was hot! She told me this was her guilty pleasure when she was pregnant with her daughter so we ordered to snowcones. I got one that was mango and guava flavored and I appreciated that I could actually taste both of the flavors. They have a few tables and chairs where you can enjoy your treat. It was hot so it was very sunny. We had to move around to avoid the sun a bit, some shade screens would have made the experience perfect. I get the hype! It was a perfect summer treat. read more

Kawaii Shaved Ice - Guava and mango snowcone - Shaved Ice Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I love their snowcones. They are open fairly late so it's always good for a summer night treat. (10pm on weekends, 9pm weekdays). I've never been disappointed by an experience here, and always enjoy my snowcone :) read more

I've been going to this place since I was little but I had not been in a while. I went today and asked for a medium slushy but just to put it in an XL cup because it usually gets messy. The girls all looked at me as if I was crazy. One suggested that I just get a flat top but last time I got that it still spilled when it melted. Then when it came it barely had any flavor on it. So disappointing. I might go back if those girls aren't there! read more

Amazing shaved ice! We come here for the variety of sugar free options for my t1d son. The lime is so good we couldn't tell it was sugar free and the employees and manager are incredibly sweet in helping us. Will be coming back again and again! read more

The shaved ice is soo soft & delicious. This place is definitely my go-to & they always serve quickly, I'm never waiting more than a minute or 2. read more

We get there and the sign says open. We walk to the front counter and Noone there to greet us. We try and open the side door and realize that it's a employee only. Someone looked out the window and we still waited about 10 minutes for service. When we finally got served the lady was not helpful. All she said was everything taste good here. After every question we asked it was. Yeah it's good what you want. When we finally ordered and got our shaved Ice. Mine was tutti frutti and my wife's tigers blood. It was AMAZING! I have never had shaved ice that has flavor the whole way through. It was some of the best shaved ice I have had. We sat under there cool little gazebo with Hawaii like leaves and shark head staring at us. It was nice. Felt like a small little get away. We enjoyed the atmosphere once we had our treat. Would recommend going to try just know to expect a delay in service. read more

Incredibly dissatisfied,,, It would be helpful if kawaii ice would put a sign on their drive thru for the hours instead of just barely closing the gate to where it swings open on its own in the windy day that way you don't waste my time or your company's time sitting in the drive thru and then send us away saying it's closed once we've gotten into the entrance when the people ahead of us as well us behind us were served. The lady there in the drive thru was rude.. Additionally, before we got there there were people already were opening the gate themselves just to go through in the drive thru line. Just so you know.... read more

I've had better snowcones. I don't believe you should see any ice when you eat snowcones. (Not enough syrup) save your money.

Butterscotch, Cherry and Cream and my companion chose strawberries and cream. Although all my favorite servers are long gone/- Kawaii Shaved Ice carries on and divvies out delicious flavors of Shaved Ice. We got here in time to order at the outside windows. Service was very good. They go to drive thru only at varying times depending on staffing. They have many more products than in the past. They now offer Sundae's Smoothies Shakes and Ice Cream Cones too. read more

Horrible service; manager is rude and argumentative. We did not enjoy our visit. There was a problem with my order and I politely asked for it to be corrected. Nonetheless, I was met with unconscionable behavior. read more

Defiantly worth checking out. The wait time is not outside of the ordinary for a snow cone in this Texas heat. The flavors are on point! I am currently in a add cream phase and got the watermelon with cream. The ice is so fluffy and is the best treat in this hot Texas summer heat. The service is friendly and welcoming. Best part the library is just a block away! read more

The shaved ice is great and I usually love coming to this place with my family after running errands. However, today's experience with the staff, especially the manager Maria, has been really upsetting. There was no music playing when we walked up. As soon as we sat down they started playing music outdoors where every other word was a cussword. I asked them to change it, considering my 4 year old is sitting there listening as she eats her shaved ice. She changes it to another uncensored explicit song. This is NOT a family establishment, however friendly it may look. The lackluster attitude and inconsideration has turned me off of this place. read more

My friends and I walked over to Kawaii Shaved Ice for dessert after dinner at a nearby restaurant. There is only outdoor seating (about 4-5 benches) so be mindful that you may or may not find seating depending on how busy it is. The shaved ice was good--mostly melted in your mouth, but wasn't as smooth as its competitors like Bahama Bucks or authentic Hawaiian Shaved Ice. It still had an "icy" texture, crunch and all. It was still refreshing nonetheless on this super hot evening. Some random observations: There weren't any trash cans outside to throw out empty cups away, which we found strange, and also had to cut in front of the line to ask for napkins since there are none available anywhere outside where we were sitting. Overall average at best, but still worth visiting if you're in the area to refresh yourself. Prices are cheap and reasonable, we'll give them that!! read more

As someone who just moved from Hawaii, I could see why majority of the reviews are three. The ice was shaved, but there's something missing from the flavors and ice cream. I was curious to try this place out because of how hot it was. The small is a perfect size because it's not too much. I believe the ice cream is a soft serve. The taste is average because I have found other hidden gems that sell shaved ice around the area. Bahama Bucks is way better! read more

Incredibly rude staff. Was ignored and spoken to like it was a problem I showed up as a paying customer. Even after their rudeness I kept my cool, but those kids need a serious attitude adjustment. On top of that, they got my order wrong, but it wasn't worth bringing up. The entire staff looked at me, and looked back at their phones, before answering the window until they felt like it. I ended up throwing my order away. It wasn't the best to begin with, but the service was very off putting & left me beyond disappointed. Waste of time and money. read more

It was delicious. It was very good. I'm particularly fond of the rainbow ice with the blue yellow and red and then they blended together creating a lovely rainbow taste just like love and unicorn and unicorn pool and unicorn everything. It was just a big unicorn in my mouth. Yummy yummy yummy. read more

very watered down flavor. I got tigers blood and it just taste like red flavored ice no flavor at all.

We've visited Kawaii Shaved Ice twice. We don't like the long line, but undersand why it's there.........the shaved ice is the best I've ever tasted! The extensive list of choices is a plus, too. We're looking forward to our next visit! read more

Finally got a chance to stop by Kawaii Shaved Ice after living in Round Rock for 15 years. I know that they've been open for quite some time but never felt an urge to drive all the way there for some flavored ice. My son is an ICEE addict, so I felt we could change things up since we were already in downtown Round Rock. We ordered him the Blue Hawaiian and I ordered one with mango and pineapple. They were both really good and super refreshing, especially since it's been over 100 degrees. There's a huge selection of flavors to choose from and they also have shakes, sundaes, smoothies, and ice cream. No inside seating, but they do have plenty of picnic tables outside and the misters going which helps it stay a little cooler. We would definitely stop by again if in the area, but my son still prefers his blue ICEEs. Kawaii is definitely a great alternative to switch it up though. read more

I went here on a Sunday. The two ladies closed the window and stayed talking for about 15 minutes until we were helped. Once we were finally helped she took our orders and left and set the snow cones on the counter and left when we didn't know whose snow cone was whose. Would not recommend coming here there are plenty of other snow cone places to go to. read more

I wasn't able to actually try anything they sold but was highly disappointed that we waited outside for over 30 mins...I understand that it was a holiday weekend but I'm not sure if they had enough staff working or what was the cause for such a long delay. I wish an employee would have acknowledged the crowd outside or at least kept us updated but after 30 mins and only 2 orders being made and handed out we decided to bounce. Customer service is just as important as the food/service you sell. I'm not sure I'll try to hit this place up again. read more

When I was pregnant this was my go to spot for snowcones. I love that it's a drive thru, the prices are reasonable, and the "snow" is soft. For a small snow one it's $3.50 but I like to add pickles and chamoy/chile to mine so there's an additional cost. It's a solid place to check out on a hot summer day! Plenty of sugar free options and though it's always consistent and tasty I do wish they had some homemade fruit syrups but that's just personal preference. read more

Stopped by to get a snow cone on my way to the Veterans Park.We visited this place in the past and it was very good, good snow cones, good service! Well it's changed and not in a good way my cone did not taste like it normally does. It was hot and I did eat some of it off the top just to cool off! But the taste wasn't there so I went back to get a replacement. There was a girl there standing taller than the others that left her customer service skills outside. She did not want me to get another one (SNOW CONE) words were exchanged when all she had to do was make me another one. The other girls there were telling her to let it go like she wanted to throw hands!!! My guess is she is a bully at school!! I asked for a mgr they didn't have one onsite but would be there on Monday. I didn't get a chance to come back by but I hope that a mgr reads this. I ended up BUYING another one to keep the peace! I didn't want her to attack her co-workers! Never had A problem stopping by this location NEVER! Hey big girl the customer is always right and in this heat there's no reason for you to release the hostile negative energy into the world!! Especially with a disabled Veteran!! PTSD is real!! read more

You know, I've been going to this place for a long time and I've been pretty disappointed. Staff has always been terrible so I was already expecting that. But the other day it was closed early due to short staffing. I get it. But at least turn the sign off. Then I go today and I there was barley any flavor, big chunks of ice and no sour spray like I wanted. While I'm extremely sad. This is my favorite place to get sugar ice. Please fix this, I really don't want to buy a snow cone machine. read more

Being from Hawaii this is one of the most authentic shave ice places I've found so far. My kids live this place. It has a walk up window or a drive-thru option and they're typically busy but it's worth it and the prices are reasonable. My personal fave is a shave ice with a scoop of ice cream and cream on top... just perfect! read more

I always love going to Downtown Round Rock and getting Kawaii Shaved Ice on a hot day. They have some of the widest range of options to choose from. The Small is more then enough for most people. I didn't give a 5/5 as they charge extra for using card as a form of payment and the floor and tables are dirty and quite sticky. There's also a lack of trash cans. Overall the prices are fairly good for what your getting and having shaved ice during some of these hottest days in Round Rock really is nice. The various different options is nice as well. read more

My bf and I were in the mood for a snow cone on a beautiful spring day. We happened to be in Round Rock. We googled snow cone places near us and decided on Kawaii Shaved Ice. It's a small but cute place with covered outdoor seating. I got the Island Twister which is blue raspberry and pineapple with cream and my bf got Green Apple and Cinnamon with cream. Both were very good. We've had snow cones with stronger flavored syrups but they were yummy and the ice was very soft and fluffy. The customer service was quick and cordial. The outside seating was sanitized as customers left. We will be back if we're in the neighborhood again. read more

WORST ESTABLISHMENT EVER! Let's talk about customer service or lack thereof. You have a group of young girls who are probably highschoolers with little to no experience. Train them. Teach them. The toxic interaction I had on a visit proves that the owners put no effort into their employees. Just telling them to shave the ice & get it out the window. No greeting or a friendly "thank you,have a nice day". And then you have the audacity to put a big 'ol pickle jar out for tips?! What tips are you expecting to make when you treat customers with the lowest set of skills? And an attitude as sour as those pickles that came in that jar? Syrup....lets unpack this gem of a topic. If you're gonna be greedy with the syrup, shut your place down. We ask for a snowcone with syrup,sometimes two flavors and get to the bottom and it's drier than the sierra deserts. The snocone actually left me dehydrated. I won't say more except that as a kid I remember this place started out in a shabby 'ol trailer. Today the building itself looks polished and put together, however, some serious adjustments on the inside need to be made. You're selling syrup and ice not kidney's & hearts. Whew Chile! I'll throw my money at the hard working mexican man pushing his cart with ice cream in 100 degree weather before I ever let any of these lethargic, ill-mannered humans disrespect me again. P.S. the cola flavor tastes like a Puto bumbong which translates to a bamboo rice cake in Asia. read more
