    Root beer and margarita shave ice
    Kim K.

    A local gem. Their specialty is shave ice. It is similar to water ice, but lighter, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, your choice of flavor, topped with condensed milk. There are lots of flavors to choose from. They also offer açaí bowls and smoothies. This small place is 100% solar powered and uses only compostable utensils and bowls. They are open during COVID-19, but have removed the outdoor tables. They ask that you wear a mask and social distance. Strongly recommend you order ahead of time online. Then they make it as soon as you arrive, so you get to skip the line, which can get long at times :)

    Aloha!

    My hubby, two friends, and I stopped for dessert at this tiny shack on Saturday night. It was fairly busy, but they kept the line moving and the orders came out quickly. They were also incredibly friendly! There was some confusion with our orders, but everyone eventually got what they wanted. The shave ice was the proper consistency, and they offer a decent variety of flavors. They automatically include vanilla ice cream and condensed milk but you can order without either/both if desired. I enjoyed my small guava, passion fruit, piña colada (with both the ice cream and condensed milk). Refreshing and tasty. They use just enough syrup so it's not overly sweet, but still well-flavored. I appreciate how they keep it simple. They fill a specialty niche, and don't need to sell a ton of other stuff. They focus on the shave ice, but do also offer smoothies and açai bowls. As someone born and raised in Hawai'i, I grew up eating shave ice. I wasn't going to say anything, but my hubby mentioned it, and they seemed to get a kick out of it. We chatted with them as we were leaving and they were getting ready to close up for the night. Lovely family. I wish them the best of luck with this endeavor!

    I hadn't had an authentic Hawaiian shaved ice since the 1980s (in Long Beach Island), so after years of driving by this little oasis, we decided to stop. I am at a loss for words..... They make the BEST shaved Ice I have ever eaten! With vanilla ice cream in the bottom of the bowl, topped with snow, and up to three flavors (I got guava, papaya and strawberry)which is then topped with a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk.....omg My family and I just devoured it in silence, only interrupting the quiet with a few passionate moans and gasps from time to time. You must, must, must go and get one of these. It's a game changer and you will not regret the trip! I will be back!......soon!

    Stopped on a whim. My son enjoyed a shaved ice - he was thoroughly satisfied. I gave the Açaí Bowl a try it was a healthy substitute to ice cream. It could be mistaken for a breakfast yogurt parfait. Topped with fresh fruit - it was extremely refreshing and energizing. Service is as outstanding and willing to explain the choice on the menu. Well done for roadside stand. Stop by and support this small local business. You won't be disappointed!

There are a ton of smoothie and smoothie bowl options. I have tried 2 different green smoothies so far and they were both delicious! It's a little expensive, but to find a healthy, good quality smoothie to me is worth it! I tried a coffee last time I was there as well, and I didn't love it. I prefer light to medium roast flavorful coffee, and this was definitely a dark roast. It wasn't bad, just not for me. I did appreciate that they had oat milk and could make me a cafe au lait. They also have great sounding salads, paninis and some other lunch options. Definitely going to give those a try in the future! I think there location is a little hard to find, I found it because I was searching for nearby coffee on apple maps and it popped up. I hope the word gets spread about their location and I think they could benefit from marketing to nearby businesses.

This was not my favorite acai base - it is a very subtle taste and I'm used to the samboza brand which is usually richer, darker, and more flavorful, compared to grocery store acai which tends to have less of an authentic acai flavor. Not sure which they use here but I can certainly tell they use quality ingredients. That being said, the bowl was good. I just prefer the taste of the acai used in the Malvern location.

This location is larger than the ones I've seen in Bryn Mawr and Ocean City - very spacious rooms with many tables for 2-6 easily. To be honest, I would come here for a meet up with friends, I could bring my kids here, and my husband just did a quiet day of work here. I would even consider a bridal or baby shower kind of event here too if they offer it. It's adorable, clean and has a warm atmosphere with tasteful design. Allergy alerts are posted on all premade food: nut, dairy, wheat are all labeled. They even sell wine and fun drinks, great gifts for girlfriends, home chefs, and host gifts. I'm coming back for the pies, frozen appetizers and cookies/scones. This is perfect for party planning and guests! If you're tired of ordering takeout, making the same thing for dinner or meeting friends at Starbucks and First Watch, get over to ANEU!

Hit or miss on the take-options for me. Coconut Curry Soup was so spicy (turmeric & ginger), it made my stomach hurt & more of a broth than a soup. Like drinking a health shot warm. GF Morning Glory muffin was dry but delicious warmed w/butter. GF chocolate chip cookie went straight in the trash: dry, tasteless and hard. Love the Mexican Chocolate on-the-go bites. It's pricey health food and I'll be back to try other options. I'm glad it's close by!

(Side note-we parked next to a beautiful antique Hudson car). Very pleased by plenty of seating available-both inside and outside. Excellent variety of flavors available cutely named after cows in the barn (ex: Molly's Mint Chocolate Chip). Adorable decor. While there was a line on the day we went, we didn't wait long. The staff was friendly and professional. Cons-we got a Molly's Mint shake, but she over-blended it, so it was practically the consistency of water. Also, there was a large Giant direct order just dumped on the path blocking the handicapped access to the sidewalk which included milk and other perishables. Sadly, we saw a woman with a handicapped individual have to maneuver the wheelchair around it in order to go in (a fellow customer helped them). She mentioned it to a staff member, who replied "OK" (I was nearby and overheard), but nothing was done since the groceries were still in the same area when we left. I mention it only to suggest that maybe a staff member could have stepped away for 15 minutes for a "quality/clean check". We had a great conversation with an elderly couple behind us in line. Overall-yes, we will be back & give them another chance; maybe we were there on an "off" day.
