I'm not usually a person who gives out one star ratings unless it's truly bad. This visit qualifies for that We walked in at 9 pm and the woman behind the counter was not giving any kind of friendly vibes. Prices are not posted Two cups were 15 and some change. They are very small for the price. We also realized after ordering that there was not any toppings available. A first for me and I eat a lot of shave ice!!! The syrups are clearly not made fresh as we watched them pour them onto the ice. She also did not put enough syrup on the ice to even reach the bottom of the cup. So disappointing! As we sat in the car and ate our sad ice they turned the open sign off even with more customers coming in. It was 9:24. With soooooo many options on the island i will be steering clear of this place.

Nice fluffy shave ice with your choice of multiple flavors. They can add an ice cream base for $2 more. The service is as expected but nothing special. It is also a little gift shop if you want to pick up any souvenirs while waiting. They had a little line when we got there and seating is a bench or two outside as it is located in a small strip mall.

My family and I really enjoyed the shaved ice here. They offer a lot of different flavors, and we really loved the ice cream add on at the bottom. It's a nice sweet treat at night, but not crazy sweet where you get sick of it. There was an older couple running the place and accommodated a big group very fast!

I haven't been here in over 4 years. It's the same great shave ice I remember! Cold, flavorful, and delicious. The service was great. There was no seating inside - only a single bench to sit on outside. Slightly pricey too... we paid $21 for 2 shave ice with ice cream and condensed milk.

We came here looking for shaved ice to satisfy my kid's dessert cravings. The place is old but quaint inside. My family really liked the shaved ice rating it from good to great but not spectacular

Half coconut, half passion fruit ($8.08)

This shaved ice spot happens to be right by our hotel and I was craving some, so decided to stop in! It was pretty busy; there were three parties ahead of us in line. The store had zero air flow inside. It was so warm. They really need to get at least a fan. All of the shaved ice creations are made to order. There's an old school style shaver and only one size option for each order. I chose a combo of the coconut syrup and passion fruit. It was really good! The ice was a bit hard to break down and messy, so I don't recommend eating in the car. They do have a couple of seating areas outside. Every shaved ice is $8.08, which was cute for the Hawaii area code.

Pineapple & Root Beer with ice cream - no condensed milk

Decent. Not too big for the cost. Good selection of flavors. Kinda on the slow side. Strip mall parking available.

mango and coconut with condensed milk drizzle

Would definitely check out this mom pop shop. The shaved ice flavors are great with a good selection making it easy to choose, and you don't have to pick between a 100. The shaved ice itself is fluffy and soft and they have optional condensed milk (highly suggest adding it on). I'm not sure what flavor icecream is at the bottom but I wish I could have a full cone of that. Might be regular vanilla but likely to be coconut or macnut (ask the sweet lady helping you to clarify if you have allergies). Add this spot to your list and support local!!

Shaved ice was at the top of our list as one thing we had to get in Maui, and I'm glad we tried Shaved Ice in Paradise. This small shop was clearly family owned and they had great treats. I got the Tigers Blood and you gotta get the ice cream in the bottom! There are benches outside to enjoy the treats. We watched them use a machine for the ice and fix up the treats and we all enjoyed what we got.

Watermelon and pineapple shave ice

Mom and pop type shop, had a short wait when I went but it moved quickly. $8 for a shave ice, but serving. Lots of flavors to choose from, I picked half watermelon and half pineapple. They only have one size cup. You can also add soft serve (for additional $). The watermelon was fantastic, and the pineapple was also tasty (slightly less sweet). The flavors didn't taste too artificial but they are very strongly sweet.

Cute little shop. Ordering was straight forward, Choose with ice cream or not, 2-3 flavors, and if you want condensed milk or not. I got blue raspberry, tigers blood, and pina cola , with ice cream, and with condensed milk. Taste was amazing !!! The lady who helped me was super kind. However, there was a man in the corner of the store (perhaps the owner) who was yelling on the phone; kinda off putting. He should definitely start taking phone calls in the back. Great shaved ice !!

Family loved it.

Very yummy. Ice cream on bottom. Shave ice. Condensed milk Condensed concoction. Seems like a local family that is an older couple is running the place.And we wanted to also support them.

Tigers Blood, Pina colada, Blue Raspberry with condensed milk and ice cream
Vivian A.

We stopped here after a day beaching over in Napili. There was a line but it moved quickly. The owners were really nice and were impressed my daughter could speak tagalog to them (I couldn't, shame, I know...). What we swallowed: *LYCHEE/BLUE VANILLA/BLUE RASBERRY with CONDENSED MILK and ICE CREAM: shaved ice is good but it's a party with condensed milk and ice cream underneath. They were a bit scrimpy with the ice cream but they really piled on all the shaved ice on top. They owners were really sweet and the shaved ice was great. I would stop here again if I was in the area.

No comparison to Ululani's. Their texture is like the crappy ones you get on the mainland and the syrup is super artificial.

One of the best desserts I've had in all my life was here at Island Cream Co.! I am a huge banana…read morefan, and when I tasted the Banana Maui, their version of bananas foster, I thought I might fall over. It's vanilla ice cream (though I changed mine to banana ice cream so I could go totally overboard) covered in fresh bananas, brandy and banana liqueur, and two pieces of banana bread stuffed into each side of the cup. Indescribably delicious! Some places would make the banana bread an afterthought in a dessert like this, thinking that the rest of the dish would be so good that the banana bread could be just anything halfway decent. Not so here. The banana bread in this dessert was some of the best we had on the island during our entire two-week stay! I can't comment on the rest of the menu, since we didn't try anything else, but people seem to rave about other items here, too. The make-your-own shave ice at the Ultimate Shave Ice station seems to be a unique take on a Hawaii staple, and it's up to you whether you prefer an expert to be making yours rather than guessing at how to make it yourself, but if you want to be the boss, well, here you go! And it's definitely a hit with kids, as you might imagine. And their pineapple cream claims to be a much better and natural version of Dole Whip, so it's probably worth a try! Located in a modern strip mall, service here is friendly, and you may need to wait in line for a little while, depending on when you come. Not a ton of seating inside or out, but we did score a table outside and enjoyed our dessert in the beautiful Maui weather. The prices are about what you'd expect, no more and no less, and worth every penny! So do not pass up this dessert spot when you come to this part of the island. In my opinion, you won't regret stopping in!

We only stopped by once during our recent trip to Maui, but it left quite the impression!…read more We were going to order single scoops but thankfully the employee helping us let us know they offer a kids scoop that was the perfect size we were looking for. We ended up getting 3 different flavors. I got the one sugar free dairy free option that they had which I think was a raspberry sorbet and it was delicious!!! I usually dislike sorbet, but this one was not too sweet and perfectly refreshing on a hot day. It was full of raspberry seeds and felt like it actually was mostly made up of fruit. My daughter was indecisive and tried several flavors, and the employee was more than happy to offer additional samples.
