Looked up a shaved ice spot close to home and found this!!! Didn't even know they were in Kalihi…read morebut thank goodness because I really wanted some shaved ice!!! There was tons of parking out front so we were glad! It's a cute little shop and I really like the door to go inside. We ordered the strawberry and salted lemon shaved ice #4 and it came with pineapple and strawberries. We also added ice cream so the total came out to $19 and something cents. Without ice cream would've been around $15. I think it was worth it! It was our first time trying and I'm not sure if it was the owner but I feel like she recognizes her customers because she asked if it's our first time since she's never seen us before hahaha!! The person taking our order was so sweet she explained everything to us and was easy to understand. 10/10 would come back and recommend. I wanna try the pickled mango so I'll definitely be back!

Cute place with a fun vibe and friendly staff! The store is small and a little hard to spot from…read morethe street since the entrance is on the side, but once inside it's clean and decorated with some really nice murals. The interior is pretty tight, with a narrow walkway between the seating areas. When we visited, almost every seat was occupied, so we had to make our way to the far end and squeeze past other customers to find a place to sit. There was also an area marked for employees only (at what would have been the front door) and boxes were stacked in front of part of the bench seating, which made the space feel a bit cramped. The menu is very limited, with eight bowl options, all priced at $14.99 and no sign of a standard type shave ice. The portion is large and includes fresh fruit, but there is not a children's size or a smaller, lower-priced option available. If you are looking for a traditional shave ice shop with lots of syrup flavors and the ability to customize a simple shave ice, this probably is not the place for you. We ordered what was essentially the plainest shave ice available, just ice with two flavors, and it was still charged at the same price as the specialty bowls. There was not an option for a basic shave ice on the menu, we had to ask for that (since my son doesn't eat all the extra stuff and only wanted plain strawberry banana flavors) and the flavor selection was fairly limited overall. They were also out of a couple of flavors during our visit, despite already having a relatively small selection (around a dozen total). I also found the ice was not as finely shaved as I expected, and the flavors left an aftertaste. While the portions are bigger (served in a bowl), the price felt high for something that melts quickly. Adding ice cream costs extra, bringing the total close to $20 for a single shave ice. One small thing that stood out to me is that they refer to it as "shaved ice" rather than "shave ice." Visitors may not notice the difference, but in Hawaii, "shave ice" is the traditional local term and part of the culture, so the wording felt a little out of place - and definitely didn't seem local (Everyone we saw seemed to be either a tourist or military). That said, the employees were genuinely friendly, and the shop itself is cute. It may appeal to those looking for specialty fruit-forward creations, but it was not quite what I was expecting from a traditional Hawaii-style shave ice experience, especially given the price point. I did like that they had a little treasure chest for kids to pick a surprise! It was small bubbles but was a fun surprise for my son!

Easily the best shave ice on the island, but also wonderful service.

We visited Oahu back in June 2025 and stumbled upon this place on our way back to our hotel. We were craving shave ice after a long day at the beach. Their servings are huge and soooo good.

I preferred the small, charming shave‑ice shops I found on other islands like Kauai. I ordered a simple shaved ice without any of the extra toppings or ice cream, and it was still over $10. And unlike Henry's, where I know the sorbet is made from fresh fruit, I wasn't sure what Island Vintage uses for their syrups. Since Henry's is walkable from here, that's definitely where I'll go instead.

Best eaten when you have a bit of flan + the shave ice to have the perfect balance of sweetness. If you eat the top part of the shave ice alone, you won't get the full sweetness. The flan, mochi, n' shave ice give all the textures. Definitely a great treat on a hot day!
