We stayed at the Westin North and thought we'd give this shave ice place a shot (located by the…read morekids' Pirate Ship Pool), and they did not disappoint. We ordered a small with the natural flavors Passion Fruit, Lychee, and Tiger's Blood, along with Coconut Roselani ice cream. The ice was incredibly fine and soft throughout, and the consistency was on par with Ululani's. Service was also great, and the recommendations were spot-on. Would definitely recommend this place. To be honest, we probably would have come every day if we had tried it sooner, haha. Note: You can choose up to three flavors. There is a slight upcharge for a snow cap or ice cream.

My favorite was the blue vanilla! This is inside of a hotel but worth walking through if you're around. The crew is friendly and they keep it moving even when there's a crowd.

It was so good that I went back three times in three days. You can't go wrong with their Top Shelf Shaves, which are curated creations with delicious flavor combos. As a coffee lover, the Affogato was my absolute favorite: shaved ice with espresso and sweet milk syrup, a creamy cappuccino gelato center, and whipped cream and coffee beans on top. I also tried the Dreamboat, which is essentially an orange creamsicle in shaved ice form, and it was excellent. You can taste the quality of their syrups, and the staff are so kind. Definitely worth a stop!

My personal favorite was the lilikoi cheesecake- texture and flavor wise it's a dream. The staff is super nice and will let you sample as many flavors as you want (and they're generous samples too!). Another nice thing- they let you split scoops! The scoops are pretty big so it was perfect for the second time we went being able to do that and get 2 flavors. The shop itself is cute and has some seating inside as well as 2 tables outside. From the other reviews it sounds like we lucked out and never had crowds there. Soooo good I will be recommending this spot to everyone, and next time I'm back in Maui I'll be back!

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!

The first time, the ice was relatively dry because the syrup was just poured over and not layered in the ice. The second time, the amount was perfect. The third time, however, there was way too much syrup, turning the shave ice into an overly sweet, soupy mess. We couldn't finish it. The inconsistency makes it hard to know what to expect.

Can not oder a single item even though I tried. Went back few days later, still no line but did not see "out of". Tried to order thru the self order pad but not successful. Asked for help from the one and only employee. Took 10 seconds of pause before acknowledging the need for help. Like others have said, shaved ice had chunks of ice and not as creamy as Waikiki location. Definitely not coming back to this location. Management: read the reviews. Lot of complaints for lack of customer service.

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.

The Caesar was pretty standard but very good. The ahi poke nachos we turned into a bowl and it was delicious, with a good amount of spice. If you don't like spice, I'd ask for no spicy mayo. But the fish was fresh and flavorful and the mix ins worked really well. The mochiko chicken was delicious as well, with the furikake rice hitting the spot. The service at the pool was great with the servers being there for every want and need and we loved the bowls the food came in because it allowed us to close the lids without worrying about birds or bugs getting into the food. Overall, great experience!

We sat at the far side of the bar so we could have a view of the pool and coast. They have quite a few items that looked good- poke nachos, Korean wings and burger but we went with a salad plus chicken and the blackened fish tacos. Well, the salad was great and not drowning in dressing, good portion of chicken although it was already so expensive and then the added fee of chicken geez. The tacos did not come out blackened. It was grilled fish- only two tacos- small amount of fish which is sad because the fish is an extra charge on top of the tacos; Chicken would not have an extra charge. The tortilla chips were good but unfortunately we were not served the salsa, but rather ketchup. So we waited a bit to get that corrected. We each had a cocktail with lunch- i had the Maui medicine, it was great. Hotel prices for everything plus it's Maui, so lunch plus tip and taxes etc was a whopping $126.82. Each cocktail was $21 and the total for our food plus the up charge for choosing fish for the tacos and adding the chicken on the salad- $60. Needless to say, we ate there only once. But our friends did enjoy poolside lunch a couple times- so I know the wings are good- they had them twice.

You have to be in the mood for a bit of a tarty dish based on the various things they include in this dish. My wife got a custom pizza with pepperoni, onion, same red sauce.
