The girl who was taking orders was constantly multi-tasking without missing a beat. She was friendly, answered questions and gave suggestions all while getting shaved ice prepped and taking orders. Ululani's offers tons of flavors and some great flavor pairings on their menu. The thing that really stands out is the ice- it's smooth, has a consistency that is top notch and just makes the shaved ice dish really amazing. Highly recommend getting shaved ice here- you won't be disappointed!

Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice is a shave ice shop started by Ululani and her husband David. The…read morebusiness began by serving at community events and private parties and now has multiple locations across Hawaii and the mainland. This location is in Kahului near the airport on the side of a building. There's a window to order and just one table to sit and enjoy. You can choose a base ice cream, up to three flavors, and then some toppings. We got the keikis ($7.25) with macadamia nut ice cream, mango strawberry passionfruit flavors, and topped with condensed milk. I liked that the ice cream had nut bits and the syrups tasted natural and were not overly sweet and artificial. Of all the shave ice shops I've had in Hawaii this is consistently my favorite one.

In fact, my main highlight of going to Maui was just to get some Ululani again. The shaved ice is so smooth that it tastes almost creamy. I like to get the snowcap and linghing powder on top. My favorite flavor is green tea that pairs really well with the snowcap; tastes like matcha froyo! It's located in the same plaza as Safeway. It's one of the quieter locations in Maui. There were no lines and plenty of indoor seating. They also sell merchandise here such as clothes and even shaved ice syrup.

It's very popular so there's a line to order and your name is called for pick-up. Picnic tables can get filled quickly for seating. I got the POG with macadamia nut ice cream. Hubby got the tropical one with lots of coconut and haupia ice cream. As we started eating, I dug down to the bottom and there was no ice cream and 1/2 way down the ice had no syrup. So I brought it back and she told me to toss it and remade it for me with ice cream and more saturation of the ice with syrup. Hubby's dish had more flavor but the POG was OK. There's a merchandise shop next door with their logo on kids' t shirts. I got a bag of tea for my BFF. Great shave ice, good service too.

They don't have any hot food items like the rest of the food trucks, but cater moreso to those that would like beverages and cold treats. They've got soda, water, shave ice, coffee, and ice cream. I grabbed a cookie monster shave ice one day after spending the day at the beach to treat my little one. It was your pretty standard shave ice and I could taste a bit of the oreo flavor, but it could've used a little more syrup. Other than that, my little guy enjoyed it. I've been really into espresso floats lately and I noticed they had a coffee float available. I simply can't resist coffee and ice cream. Mmmhmmm, it's totally a thing and I was stoked to see it on their menu! What I appreciate is that they use Maui Oma Coffee, a local coffee company that sources quality beans from around the world and in Hawaii. The coffee float itself was pretty good. I would've liked a bit more sweetness, but overall, I would get it again as not many offer it on their menu in town.

I got the small lychee shave ice, which was incredible, and topped with coconut condensed milk. There was a layer of vanilla ice cream (a sweet and delightful surprise), but this is what makes their shave ice different. I think what would make this place even better is more flavors! My friends also got POG juice and coconut water -- both refreshing! The worker was a lovely gentleman who was very easy to talk to and just a positive person overall.

Located in a corner of the Maui Swap Meet lies the best shave ice we had while on our trip there…read more Maui Girlz Shave Ice is an unassuming food truck serving cold, flavorful shave ice for cheap, which is a great treat to have while walking around the sprawl of tents in the market. To get to this truck you have to enter the market which has good parking availability and only costs 25 cents to enter. Even if you're not interested in what the swap meet has to offer, the trip and cost of admission are still worth it to have some. We had the POG with a snow cap and a strawberry with a snow cap and absolutely loved the taste. The ice has a great powdery texture and the syrup soaks right into it with ease. The rest of our group got a whole bunch of different flavors and everyone was extremely happy with what they got. The service was quick and there's a small seating area with a tent so you can cool off. The best part of all of this is the pricing. You would think for $4 each you would be getting some average tasting shave ice but no, this shave ice was phenomenal. Maui is a place where prices can be high just for it being, well, Maui, so we greatly appreciate a good deal when we see it. Altogether a 10/10 experience, we greatly recommend it!

All were delicious but Ube was our fave. So on our 2nd visit, we ordered Ube (again), crème brûlée & peanut butter cup. Again, it was all so good. Sabrina & John were super friendly. They interacted with their customers with so much aloha. It was also Sabrina's birthday one of the days we came by so she shared extra malasadas & even gave me a rose from her birthday bouquet. How sweet was that?! When you have delicious items plus great service, that would make you want to keep supporting the business.

The reason we visit here is for their mochi. The mochi is some of the best I've ever had, and I have been to Japan to try theirs. The flavors are chocolate, peanut butter chocolate, and azuki bean (red bean). I'm not a peanut butter fan nor chocolate, so I just ate the red bean mochi. The mochi is so soft and the red bean filling is not too sweet and filled with a good amount of it. Since it is a family business, the hours are fluctuate constantly. There was a point where every time we visited, it was closed during our stay for 4 years straight. Check their website to confirm hours.
