Such a cute little open air ice cream shop on the North Shore. There is a fun mural in front of the…read moreshop that makes it easy to spot and adds to the whole laid back North Shore feel. I loved that they prepare the ice cream when you order, mixing the fruit in fresh rather than just scooping a premade flavor. It tasted incredibly fresh, fruity, and flavorful. The lilikoi was my favorite. It had that perfect tartness balanced with the creamy ice cream, and it was so refreshing.

The concept is pretty simple: you choose a base (vanilla, coconut, dairy-free coconut, or frozen…read moreyogurt) and then pick a real fruit to be blended in with the ice cream . I love different ice cream flavors so the other flavors weren't that appealing to me. It was pretty late so I just got a basic vanilla cone. The fruit options include mango, pineapple, strawberry, mixed berry, blueberry, raspberry, and sometimes lilikoi (passion fruit)!

My friend tried the coconut bowl and the coconut sorbet was so good! Service was good and fast. There is limited seating and some of it is in the sun, so some bowls may melt quicker.

My friends and I came here, each ordered a bowl and enjoyed every bite of it! I ordered the Hapa…read morebowl and it was filled with granola, strawberries, poi, bananas, papaya, honey , coconut flakes and bee pollen. It was so refreshing for a hot day and it was filling without making you feel grossly full after a meal too. Perfect because we walked over to the beach to enjoy it! Parking is kind of hard to find though, there's parking behind their little shop but if you don't find parking there, I know some people have parked on the street and walked over. There's also no indoor seating as this is like a little "shack" but there's some seating around the area- better yet, just order your bowl and go to the beach nearby and enjoy the waves while savoring the sweet acai bowls! The girls who took our orders were super kind as well- they were patient with us while we were deciding what we wanted to get and got out bowls out quickly! All in all, we are going to come back here again to get more acai bowls! Their bowls are a generous size, even for the small and they are so full of nutrition! A definite stop when you are nearby!

Aloha General Store deserves a lot more attention for its shave ice. While many visitors head to…read morethe famous spots in Haleʻiwa, this little gem quietly serves one of my favorite shave ice on the North Shore. For just $5, the small size is actually pretty generous. Even better, it comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream hidden at the bottom, making it an incredible value. I chose Melona, strawberry, and coconut, and all three flavors were vibrant, refreshing, and not overly sweet. The shave ice itself was soft, fluffy, and melted perfectly in your mouth. The store also sells souvenirs and gifts, but I came strictly for the shave ice, and I'd happily come back just for that. It's refreshing, affordable, and surprisingly underrated. If you're in Haleʻiwa and looking for a delicious shave ice without the long lines, don't overlook Aloha General Store. It may not be the most talked-about spot, but it definitely deserves a place on your shave ice list.

The…read morefirst thing that took me off that was the parking situation there we had to pay two dollars to park our car to get the food although it was just quick and quick out kind of a parking lot situation there. Second part was the staff was extremely uncommunicative. I understand they're running a big business a lot of customers, but they're just taking the orders. Daughters were not coming in the right order. The folks who came after me got their orders. We didn't get the kind of order that we asked for even though we mentioned what we want how we want it was super rainy muddy they didn't care to do any arrangements for the customers to be comfortable the path was so slippery that I saw many people fall down in rain. I know it's a great experience to be around that area to have food on the food truck, but safety is another main concern that every business owner should consider looking into I ordered the spicy and hot shrimp. I can take more spice, but there wasn't any flour. I failed. The shrimp was undercooked and the rice was extremely mushy. Looks like it was left in water for a while to become that way if the name is carrying the weight of the business, I expect the quality to follow as well. No wonder the ratings of this specific location is lower than the other one. And that experience of ambience was. Unhealthy and untidy.
