    Love Potion 9
    Katie E.

    The best shaved ice I ever had! Highly recommend the Love Potion#9 or the Strawberry Mango. Very refreshing. Will come Back to try other flavors

    Best shave ice on the island - ice is soft and great price for all the toppings they offer. Personal favorite is mango, with a scoop of ice cream, and li hing. Don't forget to add their signature Haupia foam on top!!

    Ube
    Kelsea L.

    Amazing. I love ube. This was the best special flavor of shave ice I've ever had. Went here on our first day and came back again the second day. Highly recommend, especially with mochi balls.

    Hands down the best shave ice I've ever had!!! Out of the "famous" shave ice spots of Oahu (where I'm from), I'd choose Wailua any day. The Lava Flow with haupia foam - AMAZING. Strawberry chunks were a nice touch. I miss it everyday. Da Ube One was also yummy & we loved the ube foam! Fresh mochi & roasted coconut flakes added so much texture & a nice flavor too. I truly hope they consider opening a store on Oahu or in LA where I currently live. I will be the most loyal customer lmfao.

    With all the amazing reviews we had to try this! I think it really depends on what you order. I'd highly recon the ube with mochi and ice cream. That was a five star order. My son got something that was not very good - I think the artificial shaved ice- I loved my order of strawberry and coconut but I personally would skip the coconut cream that is all over the top- just a preference but I didn't like it at all- it looked fresh a delicious if you do! It's kind of a corporate setting / feeling in there which also isn't my favorite for Kauai - the people were very friendly and nice though!

    The shaved ice here is so refreshing and tasty! We got a ube flavor (da ube one) shaved ice with mochi added. It wasn't overly sweet but just right. Loved the ube foam on top. Definitely a good spot to checkout in Kauai when you're looking for something refreshing to escape the heat.

    Best shaved ice!! Their ice are soft and pluffy and they have a great selection of different flavors to try!! Ube is my favorite!! Also they add the coconut cream on top which gives a different taste! Service was fast!

    Ube!!! SO SO GOOD
    Anne G.

    One of my favorite things from the trip! The ube one is SO good - I made my family go back a few days later so I could have another one before heading home. In between the two visits, we tried another shave ice place in the area and the ice was not as fine nor smooth as Wailua.. nor were the flavors as delicious. Wailua all the way! I wish I could try all their flavors!

    Just AMAZING! Not your typical shave ice flavors but we love this place. 2nd time to Kauai and we made sure to get our fix. Service: 5/5 Workers all smiled and greeted with aloha. The wait for shave ice once you place it does not take long at all. is Ambiance: 4/5 Just your normal shave ice spot. They do have a little section that they sell their merchandise. Food: 5/5 Flavors are on point. When you add the Ube or Hopia foam .. The best part is their shave ice DOES NOT melt fast. I asked the worker why their shave ice doesn't melt fast like others and she just said "I put a lot of love into it" Lol! This is a MUST COME to spot!

    I have to preface this with the fact that we had some disappointing shave ice earlier in the week at another establishment, where I overpaid for a big bowl of ice and a drizzle of syrup that barely covered the mound's surface. It was our last day in Kauai and I was determined to have a positive shave ice experience. After consulting TikTok, we found all these videos featuring their Ube shave ice and I was sold! This spot was less than 10 minute drive from our resort. How could we have missed it all this time??! It's part of a strip mall, so parking was super easy. This place was clean despite all the sticky syrups that are apt to land on the floor when people are moving about. It was busy, but the line moved fast. You place your order at a kiosk and they call your name at the counter when the order is ready. It was crowded inside, so we took to the benches outside to enjoy our treats. The Ube shave ice was everything! We were pretty full from lunch, so we ordered two to share among my fam of 4. Wailua did not disappoint. They were generous with the ube syrup, no white ice to be seen! It comes with a drizzle of condensed milk, ube whipped cream, and is topped with toasted coconut, which enhances the flavors and gave it a nice texture. We opted for a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which made for a creamy center. I've seen some folks order mochi with it. I might try it that way next time. There will be a next time. This was such a nice way to end our trip to Kauai. We headed straight to the airport afterward feeling very satisfied!

    This was a really good flavor, good quality. Not your typical fake, overly-sweet-in-a-bad-way, cheap syrups that are very common. I'm not a fan of the Haupia foam because I don't like whip cream, but I still enjoyed the rest of it, and I'd definitely come back to try a different flavor next time I visit. I like that there was sitting inside and it was nice and clean. The ladies working were also very nice and very kind. They gave some shaved ice to my dog too (no syrup of course) but she still enjoyed it! I really appreciate the amazing service. All in all, a great experience.

    The weather was pretty hot when we left the Smith's Fern Grotto so we came here for some shave ice to cool off. Saw some awesome Ube shave ice photos on Yelp and that's what we ordered. Let me tell you they did not disappoint! The shave ice looks like out of a commercial photo shoot, the coconut flakes on top of the purple ube ice both looks and tastes amazing. We loved the Ube ice so much that we actually came back the next day to try other flavors and we'll be back for sure!

    One of the best shave ice we had while on the island. We thought it was just gonna be a normal sized but it was bigger for sure. My husband enjoyed his ube shave ice and I was happy the girl at the counter told me 1000% should get the love potion and I'm glad I did. It was delicious. If you are here please go to the place. It's kinda hidden in Safeway parking lot but I wish we came back to try more. Don't forget to add the ice cream in there too.

    Best Shave Ice on the island!! We've tried many at different locations. Best flavor, they give you…read moreplenty of syrup and the price is reasonable compared to many. The people are super friendly!!

    I'm honestly not sure how I came across this shop, but I was so happy that I did! I got the lava…read moreflow creation, which has pineapple, strawberry, and coconut with macadamia nut ice cream at the bottom. It was $5 for the kids size and $2 to add ice cream. Since we got one of the combos that had ice cream, it was $7. The ice is so fluffy! It feels finer than bingsu. The flavors were light and went really well together. I loved the mac nut ice cream at the bottom and while I don't like nut pieces in my dessert, I really liked this one. I am actually curious to know what ice cream they use. The staff here was so friendly and I loved how you could get souvenirs and shaved ice at this spot. I'll definitely come back here for shaved ice when I am in the Kapaa area. There is some street parking and a tiny lot near by. We got lucky going on a weekday afternoon to find parking. There is a small bench outside for eating the shaved ice.
