I was in Walla Walla for the Gentlemen of the Road music festival, but arrived a day early to get the lay of the land. I was bicycling around town in the 100 degree heat and contemplating what temperature a brain would actually steam cook at when I saw a sign in a dingy strip-mall next to a supermarket that said "Pineapple Pete's Shaved Ice". I'm going to level with you, it doesn't look like much on the outside, about as close to a zero on curb appeal as it gets. However, it sounded a lot better than heat stroke, so I locked up my trusty stallion of a bicycle and wandered over, only to see to my dismay that there was a "Closed" sign on the door. I started to turn away in despair when a man walked through the door holding a styrofoam cup and said "Hey, they are actually open!" Turns out that guardian angels are real and mine is in his mid-40s with a respectable pot belly and a love of sugared ice. That seems about right. From the inside Pineapple Pete's is a surf oasis that carries off its Hawaii theme quite well. Pleasant decor, fun signs, picnic table seating. There are too many options, but I quickly settled on a rootbeer float shaved ice, that came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the middle. A medium was more than enough for me, and I'm not what you would call a dainty eater. I could go on, but what is the point? If you are in Walla Walla and you like snowcones this is the place you should be, hands down. If you aren't in Walla Walla and/or you don't like snow cones then I don't know what to tell you, I'm not sure why you started reading this review, let alone finished it. You need better time management skills! Pro-tip: Don't believe their sign, if they say they are closed try the door anyhow. read more

Was looking forward to this place but could not find it, even though Siri told me I had arrived? Bummed! Did they close or did Siri hold a grudge still from when I tried to fire her? She tried to send me to New York when I asked for navigation to the fairgrounds in Pomeroy... lol read more

Very good, plenty of syrup and lots of shaved ice. Excellent bang for the buck. nice owner and great employees.

Everything about this place is just "right". Walking in and the first thing we saw was the " Pineapple Hotline" phone number. After walking in its a cool rustic Hawaiian feel. We were promptly greeted by Marc (one of the owners) who gave us the 10 second tour of the goodies. After ordering we sat at a bright green picnic table and waited all of about 3 minutes before being presented with out treats, which tasted amazing! I would suggest that everyone comes here... And don't walk, RUN! read more

This is probably the best shaved ice I have ever had. The people working there are very nice and chatty.

After a trip to Maui, we've been on the hunt for actual Hawaiian shaved ice ever since. This is as close as it gets in Washington. It's the best. A sno cap and scoop of ice cream are musts. So refreshing on a hot day. read more

What a great find in Walla Walla of all places. This shave is the real thing! Island style, not just crushed ice with some high sugar flavorings. Originally located in College Place, they have relocated on 2nd Ave, but they are back off the street, so you gotta really look for them. Great variety of flavors and options. When the heats on, Pineapple Pete's is the answer! read more

Loved this place! Friendly staff member running the register explained everything to us & I was very thankful bc there's a lot of info on that menu! Our shave ice was delicious & just what we needed after spending a lot of time in the heat. This is the real deal too, shave ice just like in Hawaii, none of that snow cone business masquerading as the good stuff. We don't live that close but you can bet we'll be back. I need to try that diablito! read more

We love this place. The first time we went there they recommended something delicious that was "sno capped" and I was not disappointed. The kids loved theirs and my son especially loved the decor, he calls the owners "fanboys" and there was a lot of interesting stuff. The second time I went I got a rootbeer float thing and it was yummy too. The guy, I think he's the owner, was super friendly and helpful and the staff too. We will keep coming back now that we know how great this little place is. read more

They may have moved from College Place, but it's sure worth the drive to Walla Walla. They're right next to Loney's grocery store. Best shaved ice anywhere except Maui. read more
