Shave ice, creamed corn, condensed milk, more corn, more shave ice, and ice cream. This spot has amazing, kind staff that explained the menu to us. Everything was delicious and well priced. Our only complaint was that the creamed corn was a bit much by the end of this tasty treat and was missing the sweetness of the regular corn/condensed milk/ice cream that were long gone. The portions for the shave ice are huge -- make sure to ask about sizes before ordering or you might end up needing the whole family to help you eat your large ice! There are only a couple tables but the spot is laid back and has more space to hang out than a typical ice cream store. read more

Tastyblock Hawaiian Shave Ice - Corn Halo - Shaved Ice Near Me - Carson, California

Wanted some ice cream or something as its been so hot. Needed something quick too, so we decided to come here for a quick cold snack. Inside is eclectic. Just a little bit of everything everywhere. Looks like a small mom and pop shop. Paint chipping off the walls. Its in a strip mall. Just watch out for the homeless and drug addicts lining the walk way..... They have several ice cream flavors. As well as shaved ice flavors. They have several Lapperts signs too and Lappert flavors. Don't know if they are working in partnership or who owns who. No idea about that. I got their guava cheesecake and coconut pineapple ice cream. Large chunks of pineapple. Love the flavors by themselves and in conjunction with one another. Only reason I dropped one star is because they took forever to get us our order. Other places they scoop as you order. And its ready to go once you pay. But here, several people ordered after us, and got their orders before our ice creams were scooped. Kinda weird. But besides that a solid place to get cold treats on these hot summer days! read more

Tastyblock is my favorite low-key neighborhood spot for Shave Ice in the South Bay. Been coming here for a long time, and quality and kindness has always been consistent. Great syrup flavors, yummy ice cream, soft ice, and generous portions. I always love looking at the mural in the waiting area, they have probably 100 bottles of syrup of all the local events they've done, a very homey touch to see the community. The staff is always very nice and welcoming. read more

Was craving shaved ice for dessert after dinner in Torrance, so decided to check out Tasty Block Hawaiian Shave Ice. Parking was easy in the lot but there were no tables for dining in, so we ate in our car. Since there is definitely space in the store, it would have been nice to have one or two tables or chairs to enjoy the shaved ice for people who live farther away, since the ice desserts melt quickly. The interior was very Hawaii themed and I loved the ice cube block sticking out from the wall. Service was friendly but there were mistakes with our order of halo-halo and mais con hielo. When we went to pickup for some reason my halo-halo was "no beans" and the mais con hielo came with vanilla ice cream instead of the mango we ordered. They remade the halo halo and apologized, but I genuinely wonder if our order was either inputted incorrectly or mixed up with someone else. I love that there was a choice of mango ice cream for the halo-halo as ube ice cream is not my favorite. The halo-halo was decent, as well as the mais con hielo. I was in the mood for more than syrup and ice which is why I did not order the Hawaiian shaved ice, but maybe next time I'll try their namesake item since the flavors looked yummy. Prices were medium for the portion, $5-10 each. read more

Service was good, we came at a time when the store was empty lol staff was attentive. Ordered the mango & pineapple shave ice with added ice cream. Love how they put plenty of condense milk and even provided extra on the side. I've, fruit, and condense milk, a little basic but was good. The shave ice was tasty and not too sweet. Wish there were other toppings mochi, or other jellies to add in the future. read more

My roommate was craving a halo-halo. We checked a SoCal Filipino social media group spot, and this place was recommended. AMBIANCE: Parking: Plaza parking; it's lowkey limited, so just a heads up. Seating: Limited seating. Basically a bench for maybe 4 cars. Vibes: You're off the Carson strip but it's a busy and neighborly place. The spot itself takes pride in their various selections and flavors of food. It has some fun aesthetics to set a calm and fun tone. Not much seating space so it's great to grab and go and continue out your daily adventure FOOD: Halo halo - mango/ube ice cream (Recommend) I was indecisive of picking between the two ice creams so I got half and half. I enjoyed the mix of shaved ice, condensed milk, jelly, coconut, ube jam, beans, and cornflakes. Not too sweet but pretty delicious. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great people. They were friendly and quick with our order. TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Awesome! Great prices, wide selections, and delicious desserts. Carson is lucky to have a spot like this. The flavors from their ice cream and shaved ice really do remind me of Hawaii. TIPS: * Portions can be pretty generous, especially the acai bowl. Get ready to split. read more

Tastyblock Hawaiian Shave Ice - Woot! - Shaved Ice Near Me - Carson, California

I'm going out on a limb here by declaring this as MAINLAND HAWAII !!! I can't think of any other place I've been who has made SHAVE ICE as good as here that wasn't in Hawaii. So, rather than spend hundreds of dollars on airfair, lodging and transportation to get Shave Ice.... I can drive here locally and get that same ALOHA MAHOLO spirit and experience right in the South Bay Beach Cities area of So Cal. Yes... they also have GRAPE syrup flavor, which is my favorite. It's easy parking and fast service. I think they'd do well with another store in Torrance or Gardena (a bit closer to me for my convenience)... or even in the Beach Cities of Redondo, Hermosa or Manhattan along the strand, if they were ever to expand or relocate. read more

This is definitely a genuine Hawaiian shaved ice place. Nothing says authentic like lifted 'Yotas in the lot and a kid working at the front. The flavors were exactly as I've found on Hawai'i. We ordered lychee, mango, and pineapple Hawai'ian shaved ice with vanilla ice cream and topped with sweetened condensed milk. For a regular (which should be classified as a large) was $9.50 and almost too big for two adults. It was very sweet and melted quite quickly. Couldn't exactly taste the lychee or sweetened condensed milk but the mango and pineapple were strong flavors. Ice cream was a great balance. Summary: genuine, family-owned Hawai'ian shaved ice that has huge portions and is perfect for a hot summer day! read more

If you want something cold and sweet you must stop by this place. They have it all! Shaved ice, icecream, dipped icecream, dole whip....

In a small plaza with parking Takes credit card Pineapple ice cream regular $5, large $7. Dole whip float $8- taste like Disneyland. maybe a little more tart. Halo Halo with ube ice cream or mango ice cream $8- there's a lot of ice, not that much filling, condensed milk. I wish there was more condensed milk, and more ice cream. read more

Aloha! I love Hawaii and sure am looking forward to visiting once again in the future. It's been quite hot in LA lately and when I saw some lovely pictures on Instagram featuring Tastyblock Hawaiian; I knew I had to check this place out. If I can't go to Hawaii; why not get a taste of Hawaii on a perfectly hot day in California? :) One of things I noticed is the treats here consist of a mix of Filipino and Hawaiian. From the Filipino side; they offer Halo Halo (a Filipino shaved ice) as well as Mais Con Yelo (a Filipino sweet corn shaved ice). From the Hawaiian side; they offer Lappert's Hawaii Ice Cream as well as Dole Whip. One can get scoops of ice cream or different shaved ice here. My mom and I chose to get the Halo halo and Dole Whip. Both were $8. The Dole Whip comes at different price points starting with a regular for $6 and ending at $8 for a Dole Whip Float. I have to say I was a little bit surprised at the prices and did think $8 was a bit on the high end for both. This location is a bit away from other places that have similar offerings and thus I think this is why the slightly steep prices. They currently don't have anywhere to dine in but there is a bench outside where you can eat your treats. They are also practice social distancing. They ask that you go outside to wait for your order and they give you a pager once your order is ready. My mom's Halo Halo was topped with Ube ice cream while my dole whip had plenty of pineapple ice cream. Both were pretty refreshing and were a nice treat for a hot day. Overall both of our treats were good and did give a nice taste of Hawaii in California. Nothing beats Hawaii though ;). read more

This place is so cool and the shaved ice is perfect. We have been trying to find something local so glad this is close by. They have different flavors to choose from plus they also have different flavors of ice cream to add to your shaved ice. I ended up trying the Grape, Hawaiian Punch, and Green Apple in mine and it was delicious. I forgot to put ice cream so that will have to be next time. I added condensed milk also and that topped it off. The portions they give are unbelievable. Also, for the price. Definitely, a bang for your buck. Since they are so close, we will be back and may be visiting all of summer. read more

Good shaved ice with ice cream. And friendly service. Felt a little pricy but I did get add ons. Wasn't my favorite in SoCal and I've had better in Hawaii. But maybe I need to try different flavors next time. Passion fruit/lychee/guava with pineapple dole, condensed milk on top: good, regular cup was big enough for 2-3 people. Favorite part is the dole ice cream. They seemed to have good unique ice cream flavors. Next time I would consider adding fruits as well. Service: when I asked for an extra cup, they were super helpful. It wasn't busy in the middle of the day in weekday so service was fast. Parking: easy in plaza, but the road is uneven. read more

We love it here! Super awesome staff and yummy ice cream and shaved ice! The servings are great too! Can't wait to go back again!

Live this little spot, especially on a hot day. Ive tried w few things off the menu, my fav has been the filipino treat Halo-Halo. Ive also tried The California which was suggested by the owner/staff. That was something new for me, avocado with sweets but enjoyed that as well. If you in the area, stop by and try it, i suggest this over other corporate places. read more

Fantastic flavors that you can even get customized. Traditional Hawaiian shaved ice with friendly service

We've been saving for a return trip to Hawaii; it was before the Pandemic when last I was there.  As the date got closer, I found myself craving shaved ice, so I used Yelp to track down someplace I could get some locally.   The app led me to Tastyblock, and I couldn't have been happier :-) Walking in my first impression of the venue is that it's clean, cute, and inviting.  Needless to say, I ordered some shaved ice and found that the taste was very satisfying and the portion size is more than generous, with very reasonable prices. With my craving for shaved ice now totally satisfied, it'll be easier to wait until we're ready to head back to Hawaii - in the interim, I have no doubt I'll return. read more

My family and I decided to try out this ice cream spot for shaved iced. We got their shaved ice, udderly sweet ice cream and their elote ice dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious and we will be coming back again. Their prices are between $4-$10. And the staff was very nice. I hope they open one closer to Torrance. read more

Had some really high hopes for this place. Serving Lapperts, such high ratings and people calling it the best shaved ice on the main land. I guess my expectations were built up too high but overall I felt the serving size, the cost and the ice shaving "fine ness" was just not there. Had the Passion Fruit and Strawberry (as traditional as can be) and was overall just disappointed. After seeing all of the beautiful, ice block shavers decorating the tables in the waiting area I really thought this place would bring back some amazing memories from Wailoa as I walked there as a kid. Not so much, it was okay and all but just did not live up to the reviews or what I expected. read more

Great, I loved it big for the pri e very friendly people. I will be going again soon. Different was to enjoy yourself

After coming back from Hawaii, we had a craving for some hawaiian shaved ice and dole whip. This place absolutely broke da mout. Their shaved ice is on-par with what you might get on the island. Great flavors, and I love the fact that they have a variety of little add-on toppings that are complimentary. The dole whip was good too, but maybe a little thinner in consistency for my liking. Overall though, just really tasty, and my mouth is watering thinking about their shaved ice. read more

I might come back for the halo2 and try the mais con Yelo if I'm in the area. read more

The absolute closest shave ice to the Hawaii real Deal, and dare I say, even better?! the only bad thing I have to say (which is not even bad) is WHY do I have to live so far away from here? Open another a little more south please, like HB!! lol. Tastyblock will fulfill your sweet tooth shave (without the D!!!) ice craving and possibly more. I've been to Tastyblock and had their dole whip more times than I can count (even got small dole whip cups for both my baby showers and daughters 1st bday) and they never disappoint. The key to great shave ice, IMHO, is the texture of the ice and syrup flavors - tastyblock knocks it out of the park with both. You can get your typical snow cone flavors, broke da mouth island flavors, but also they have cultural sweets like Halo-Halo (#filipinopride) and a version of Chinese/Taiwanese Baobing (shave ice, condensed milk, & fresh fruit ahhh drooling as I type this)! Please keep doing what you're doing, TB - can not WAIT for my next South Bay shave ice run! read more

We used to come here a lot since we lived in Carson n my kids went to school there, nearby. Unfortunately, we have moved but occasionally visit them. The ice is shaved fine n there are many flavors to choose from. The Maiz con Yelo is good. The Halo Halo is not too sweet. The ice cream from Hawaii has quality. The Açaí Bowl is also one of our favorite. I just wish that the male owner can be more pleasant n that they are consistent with their store hours. My in laws n I have gone there several times during store hours but was closed. :( However, overall, we still take the liking in them. read more

If there was an award for the best customer service in town, then this shop's owners/employees would DEFINITELY win it. When I walked into the shop with two of my kids, I was immediately greeted by a very warm welcome and as I contemplated my order I was met with a lot of patience as well as helpful tips on what to get. Side note: The bathroom is out of order/closed for Covid-19 and when my young son said that he had to go to the bathroom in the middle of me ordering, the employee let me use their bathroom without any hesitation, stating that she understands and that she has kids too. After receiving my order in a to go bag and heading out so that I could eat with my kids on the curb outside, the shop owner came out and asked if I wanted them to bring out a bench so that we could sit more comfortably. They stated that they were closing and needed to do some cleanup so it would take a little while and we could sit and eat in the meantime. This customer service was above and beyond! The shaved iced was great! read more
