    This place is located about two minutes from the Embassy Suites. Friendly service and reasonable prices. Our orders were simple (e.g. Pina Colada and Peach) and the snow cones were flavorful. Definitely recommend.

    Went with Tiger's Blood and added Li Hing powder and housemade mochi and it was amazing. No notes!! I'd 100% come back here again. There were no long lines, special flavors, quick service, and great price.

    Good shaved ice! Service was fast - they made to order and we didn't have to wait long to get our shaved ice.

    Love Lahaina Shave Ice, they abide by their motto that not all shave ice is created equal. The quality of the ice and variety of the syrups and toppings is to die for. However, I wish there was more seating at this location!! The line situation is also a tad confusing since there are two doors- we saw an older man cut through the entire line and order first since he went through the other one and no one objected to him. We ordered the blue Hawaiian with sugar free pineapple syrup and two toppings: mochi and snow top. This was so delicious and refreshingly light!! The mochi was pillowy soft, even though we ordered at nighttime around 8 PM. I don't think anything could beat the weather in Hawaii better than this. I don't think you could mess up an order at Lahaina even if you tried. This spot has well deserved hype, and I hope they continue to maintain their popularity and quality.

    Conviennent and tasty shave ice near Waikiki hotels. Went in the afternoon - no line and was able to order on the spot. The small is pretty big already - but it does melt pretty quick! It does take a bit for the shave ice as they look to make them one at a time. Flavors meshed together with the texture of the ice. Would def come back!

    There was a slight line but staff were sufficient the wait was not long I recommended adding condensed milk to rainbow (strawberry vanilla & banana)

    I saw this cute little dessert store next to the steak house next door. The girls were the sweetest helping me out with the ones to pick and what they recommend. It's shaved ice and it's so good. I got the black milk tea with ice cream and the smallest one, as I was by myself. It's really delicious and a nice treat, almost like the best black milk tea I've ever had. I couldn't finish it, so it's definitely made for two people. I was able to catch the sunset and enjoy my food and treat. I definitely recommend this place, it's so good never had anything like it. The girls were awesome and the vibes are pretty chill. I'm in HNL once a month and will be back.

    Lahaina Shave Ice - House of the Sun
    Minerva H.

    We got the House of the Sun with red bean, ice cream, and mochi toppings. This was such a tasty treat. My favorite was the blue shaved ice (blue hawaii) - it reminds me of cotton candy but less artificial/sweet tasting. The other two flavors, lime and guava, were tasty too. Loved the combination of flavors and toppings we got. Generous portion too.

    Came here for some shaved ice as it was just steps from our hotel, is said to be one of the best shaved ice spots on the island, and my brother comes here whenever he visits Waikiki and swears by it. So, since it was a hot day, what better way to cool down than enjoy a nice shaved ice dessert you can actually enjoy any time of the day or night. This place is not exactly easy to find as it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, but once you do find it, you'd probably never expect it to look like a small parking garage's ticketing office...well, it probably was. Anyway, we went ahead and ordered one shaved ice with matcha flavor, with mochi balls, and extra scoops of azuki (red beans)....just because we really love our red beans! And, we also ordered a more colorful shaved ice with matcha, mango, and strawberry flavors and topped with azuki red beans too. Yup, there's a good reason why they say that this is one of the best spots for shaved ice.....the shaved ice is nice and fine and stacked tall in the small bowl, with your choice of flavors poured down the side till soaked into the ice. Wow.....a small spoon of flavored shaved ice, witha small scoop of red beans really hit the spot! Too bad this place is literally a hole-in-the-wall take away place only, so you either stand around and eat it (away from the main driveway) at the side, or wherever else you can find to sit and enjoy it as there are no chairs or tables here. I must admit that I am not a sweet tooth, and trying to cut down on sweet syrupy stuff, but this shaved ice was really good, and it reminded me of my childhood days....when my waistline and sugar intake wasn't a big concern :S

    Lava flow keiki size
    Steffany I.

    Lahaina Shave Ice is an unsuspecting location for some great shave ice. We walked to it and it wasn't too far from the restaurant we were at. It's located in this parking lot, so it was easy to miss. They offered different flavors, flavor combinations, and sizes. We got the Tiger's blood and Lava Flow both in keiki size. This didn't look like a keiki size because it was huge! Our family couldn't even finish it! We loved the condensed milk and soft ice. It definitely filled out shave ice craving. There is no seating outside so you have to find somewhere to sit. It sucked having to walk with our shave ice slowly melting. Thankfully we weren't far from a Starbucks and sat over there.

    Kind of a weird location. It is located at the entrance of a parking garage so everyone was like watch out guys, be careful, move!, etc. We stopped in after having dinner at Ginza which was like two doors down. They have an extensive menu of flavors and the portions are huge. The young ladies working that evening were nice. Took a little while to get them and there's no seating area. You just have to stand on the side of the street and hope to not get run over. The texture of the ice was not as fine as other places. Reminded me more of a snow cone. The flavors were just ok although, the mochi was good. My brother loves it, but it just wasn't my favorite place for shave ice. I would most likely skip it next time even though I will be back for Ginza!

    This place is da bomb! Quick service, the shaved ice is smooth and has so many flavors. Definitely a hidden gem. Come and try yourself. Highly recommended.

    The kids shaved ice. It was as big as my head
    Allie N.

    Saw this place on TikTok and knew I had to try it. It was pretty easy to locate, but can also be easily missed if you're not looking. Nestled at the entrance of a parking lot, Lahaina Shave Ice sits proudly and boasts a humble existence. Staff were super friendly and helping me pick out my flavors and even made some choices for me. I ended up getting the kids sized (keiki) shaved ice with lychee and passion fruit with ice cream and snow cap (pick the condensed coconut cream vs condensed milk). It was pretty good and hit the spot with the evening being so humid and warm. Would definitely return

It was about 10 and not much to choose from this late in the eve. Looked on Yelp and found a five-star spot that closed at midnight. A unicorn perhaps, or just paid social media BSers hyping up basura? And it was within walking distance. Let's go find out. MOSA is like in a backstreet off of the main Kalakaua drag. It's like a little hut with some outdoor seating out front. Simple menu that offers eight different flavors that you order in a cup or a crepe. Wanted something not too messy and just portable enough to eat from while walking back, so I got the cup. Got two scoops of ube and Kona coffe sprinkled with crushed mac nuts. DELICIOUS. Loved the texture...very creamy, almost chewy. Lovely textures. Flavors were on point, too. It's on the pricier side for ice cream, though, but I think it's worth it for what you're getting. Great stuff!

I'll definitely have to come back to try that next time. // Single Scoop Cup (Kona Coffee) The single scoop comes in the cutest little flower pot with a tiny shovel spoon, which made it even more fun. The Kona coffee ice cream was incredibly smooth, rich, and creamy with a slightly stretchy texture that I really enjoyed. The roasted peanut sprinkles added a delicious crunch and subtle nutty flavor that complemented the ice cream perfectly. The service was also very friendly and quick! Overall, I really enjoyed it and would happily come back. While it didn't quite reach "must-have" status for me, it was still a delicious treat that's worth trying.

The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around! I'm trying to remember but I think there was a book off that was not too far from here! If you either drive or maybe walk. Service: staff was super helpful and friendly while I was there. I was having an issue with my online order because my phone was being glitchy and they were so nice in helping :) Also wanted to note their branding is so cute!! They even sell merch items too

The matcha flavor actually came through rich and complex while still feeling light and balanced. On top of the food and drinks, the ambiance was amazing and the service was excellent. Everything felt thoughtful and intentional from start to finish. An absolute must if you appreciate matcha, Japanese flavors, or a really well-made cocktail. A million out of 10 would recommend and until then ima dream about coming back.
