Our hearts go out to the kamaʻāina who lost their homes, businesses, or jobs, and to everyone still dealing with the aftermath. While I understand power has now been restored to roughly 85-90% of the island, many people are still without power, and there are plenty of repairs and rebuilding ahead. Since we couldn't bring ourselves to Kauaʻi, we decided to bring a little aloha home instead! We started with a delicious dinner from L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. Then I called Aloha Spirit Shave Ice, and they were kind enough to make a house call. Nate from Aloha Spirit showed up with his equipment in the back of his pickup, and before long, we--and several of our neighbors--were enjoying some delicious Hawaiian-style shave ice. It wasn't quite the same as being on Kauaʻi, but it was a pretty good consolation prize!

I have been to Hawaii a few times and I always get shaved ice. It's good, however, Aloha Spirit, is my ultimate favorite! I wish I could have it everyday! Aloha Spirit adds the perfect amount of delicious syrup on shaved ice that literally melts in your mouth. Plus, they have many unique flavors to choose from! They are an amazing and wholesome family that shows their pride in every bowl of shaved ice!

SUPER bummed because I really enjoyed having nearby bingsoo. Gardena location is still open. For me, it is too far and I don't have a reason to frequent that area. It was a cute little spot with delicious, creative flavors and soft texture. The sweetness was just right. We loved coming for a late night dessert or bringing our friends who visited to this spot. The only con was really the parking because it was next to the gym. I will miss this spot and I hope another quality bingsoo place opens up nearby.

It's tucked away toward the back part of Shanghai Plaza, so it can be easy to miss if you don't know where you're going. Once we finally found it, we walked in and were greeted right away. The place is small, but it's very clean, cozy, and inviting. I could definitely see this being a nice spot to meet up with someone to catch up, or even somewhere to stop by after dinner for a dessert. I ordered the Taro Bingsoo, and if you're a taro fan, this is definitely worth trying. The taro flavor was very noticeable without being overwhelming, with a nutty and slightly floral sweetness that made it really enjoyable. The shaved ice itself was incredibly fluffy and light, and there was enough taro throughout the entire dessert that you got a good amount in almost every bite. The nuts were also a great addition because they gave it a nice crunch and texture against the soft shaved ice. I would definitely recommend sharing the Bingsoo rather than ordering one for yourself. The portion is generous, and there's plenty to go around, especially if you're already coming in after a meal. For the price, I thought it was very reasonable considering the portion and quality. Overall, I really enjoyed my first visit to Sul & Bean. The location was a little tricky to find, but once you get there, it's a nice little dessert spot with a relaxed atmosphere. I'd definitely come back and try another flavor of their Bingsoo next time.

I especially love their strawberry cheesecake bingsoo, mango bingsoo, and green tea bingsoo. The portions are generous and are great for sharing. My husband and I always share one flavor per visit. Strawberry cheesecake bingsoo: is a great combination of sweet and tangy, with freshness from the strawberries and richness from the cheesecake bites. Mango bingsoo: tastes delicious, refreshing, and fruity with natural sweetness from the fresh, juicy mango pieces. Green tea bingsoo: has a nice earthy matcha flavor that pairs really well with the sweetness of the red beans and condensed milk. This location in Diamond Plaza has a cozy, casual, and welcoming vibe that makes it a great place to enjoy their desserts. There is a good amount of indoor seating, and the place feels clean.

We've been back about half a dozen times in the past month, which says everything. The flavors are delicious and nostalgic. The Big Daddy reminds me of eating a Big Stick ice cream as a kid, and Da Bomb tastes just like a Bomb Pop. They have tons of Italian ice flavors to choose from, plus creamy vanilla and chocolate custard that takes everything over the top. On our first visit, Angelica was amazing. She was so friendly, let us sample several flavors, and even shared some of her personal favorites. That kind of service makes you want to come back. It's a small spot with limited outdoor seating, but honestly, it's just as good sitting in your car enjoying your treat. They also have a stamp card and even offer catering. My only complaint? They close at 9 PM. I'd gladly support this place even later into the night. Do yourself a favor and check out Mustache Mike's... but maybe only tell your close friends.

They have a converted shiny little Airstream with a big "Shave Ice" sign at the top, so you can't miss it. They make a great (and HUGE) shaved ice treat with tons of syrup flavors, and their coffees are great too! I ordered the Toasted Marshmallow latte and it was fantastic. What's unique about Mermaid Cove is that their milk options are whole, oatmilk, and 2% lactose free milk. I have never seen lactose free milk at a coffee shop before, and I totally appreciate that as someone who has become lactose intolerant, and usually has to have oat or almond milk as an alternative. Looking forward to seeing them at another event!

We had a Hawaiian-themed party at our office last week, and we knew it wouldn't be complete without some authentic shave ice. Mermaid Cove didn't disappoint! They serve their shave ice and speciality coffee through this cute silver Airstream with big letters on top saying, Shave Ice! The decor was very cute and welcoming. They offer over 35 flavors of shave ice, and a selection of toppings- from condensed milk to popping boba. As an added bonus, they include complimentary specialty coffee with their 2 hour service. I opted for the guava and passion fruit shave ice with condensed milk, and let me tell you, their ice is as fluffy as what you'd find in Hawaii! The caramel latte I had was also amazingly good. Our employees couldn't stop raving about both the shave ice and the coffee. A big shoutout to the owners, Michael and Jackie, for their wonderful hospitality and for providing such high-quality, delicious treats. I highly recommend Mermaid Cove Shave Ice for any event- you won't be disappointed!
