This is my all time favorite shaved ice spot!! With over 50 flavors, food options, milk shakes,…read morespritzers, and ice cream this is the go to spot on a hot summer day. Heck, even on a cold winter day this is a great spot. My kids and I frequent this place year round, it's never too cold for shaved ice. If you go don't be afraid to try new flavors or even mix them. My go to is yellow ice cream with strawberry cheesecake topped with cream. Also, unless you like it to melt fast, tell to not make it "soupy". My kids love the silver fox (sweet vanilla) and ninja turtle (not totally sure what this is). It's under new management, but the items available have remained the same. Don't let the small building fool ya!! This place packs the most punch for your buck.

The staff has always been the sweetest and to be such a small little spot, the amount of people they serve doesn't slow them down one bit! It is the epitome of a hole in the wall as it's the size of a small shack, but the amount of flavors they have is ENORMOUS! My favorite flavor is Tigers Blood or Wedding Cake with the cream.

Actually, I have never seen it not a little busy even on Sunday afternoon so most of the locals don't blink at the high prices to get a taste of that deliciousness! We each were gifted a pint of our favorite flavor of the day by our top notch realtor, Sherri Williams ! This flavor was new to me "HEAPS OF LOVE" defined as "Anything and everything you can want! Oreos, brownies, cookie dough, pecans, caramel and chocolate ripples all packed into vanilla ice cream." How can anyone top that? It really is very very good! Hubby got their number one most popular flavor, a chocolate with dark chocolate bits & swirls. I think it was "Brownie Cascade": Classic, creamy chocolate ice cream exploding with brownie pieces, caramel cups and a sweet fudge ripple. Most creative flavor even has a trademark sign: "Exhausted Parent". It is "Bourbon-spiked espresso ice cream swirled with bittersweet chocolate chunks" That has to be my next sample! My only disappointment is that many of the flavors had "high fructose corn syrup" as a top ingredient. Not what one expects when they brag All natural ingredients! Taste is great though! This is one of the Cadillac luxury brands of American ice cream. Be prepared to wait in line and pay double the norm, but it's a must try!

If you've never had Shave Ice or you really love homemade ice cream you're in for a treat you won't…read morefind in any other ice cream shop around here! "Shave ice" is a bowl of ice cream topped with delectably shaven ice - not chunky like sno cones. The icey part is topped with your choice of flavor drizzled on it. A Snow Cap (condensed milk) is included as well. Most people have their Shave Ice with all of the above. It's a refreshing way to enjoy a lot of tasty ice cream with some very special extras. The owner has professional ice shaving machines used in Hawaii (we've been to Hawaii enough times to be hooked on the stuff ). If you're not interested in trying something new but you DO appreciate homemade ice cream, every ice cream at Oliwia's is homemade. It's only about 2 miles west of I-65 in downtown Hartselle. Use Yelp to find it!

It's super bright and clean with ample tables and a couple of bars with stools along the windows. It was fairly busy but the line moved quickly. We each got a medium Shave Ice with a scoop of ice cream (lots of flavors to choose from), shaved ice, flavored syrup (lots of flavors of this as well!), and the "snow cap" (coconut flavored condensed milk topping). It was a little messy but yummy! The medium size was almost more than we could eat! It was a fun experience and an affordable way to be treated to a more unique dessert experience. The next time we're heading home from Birmingham I'll be exiting off I65 for Oliwia's Shave Ice! We're so glad we took a chance!
