Shave ice was great!!! Fast service. The ice cream at the bottom was especially good.

I forgot to take a picture of my 2 shave ices.. because it got mopped in 5 minutes lol! It was just too good, especially at a mid-day track meet. I always look forward to getting Windward Snow Shave Ice when our track team comes to O'ahu for the Ruby Tuesday meet. Love the shave ice and the flavors they offer, but especially love talking stories with the people who make it! A big mahalo to Windward Snow Shave Ice Their shave ice always hits the spot! read more

I wish I got a picture of my absolutely delicious Shave Ice from the two gentlemen serving the teachers and support staff for EBES. The ice was finely shaved and the syrup was not overly sweet.

If you haven't tried them out, go find them. read more

Can't beat Windward Snow Shave Ice. Friendly staff with all the required additions and a variety of flavors.

Highly recommend this family owned shave ice business that has been in Hawaii for decades!

It was one of the top highlights of our wedding and all guests raved about the deliciousness and large selections of flavors. Service was excellent and so professional! Highly recommend Windward Snow Shave Ice for your private events. read more

Pat was so awesome! I reserved Windward Snow Shave Ice as a vendor for our company picnic to serve shave ice to our 60 employees. Pat was not only super kind, but he was VERY RESPONSIVE! He replies very quickly through email, and text. On the day of our reservation, he got there early and immediately started to set up his stand all by himself. He truly was a one-man show. He had a tent, generator, his shave ice machine, cups, straws, spoons, AND HIS HOMEMADE SYRUPS! Yes, homemade. I noticed while I was eating my shave ice that it was less sweet, which I loved! I later found out that he made his syrup on his own! He had 10 flavors (coconut, lychee, grape, lime, pineapple, bubblegum, strawberry, vanilla, root beer, and banana) and even provided optional syrup or lihing mui powder toppings! In total, I paid $450 for 3 hours of shaved ice service to our 60 employees. I definitely will be asking for Pat for our future events. We had the best experience! He's not only a successful business owner, but after having some conversations, he also gives back to the community. So much respect for Pat and this business! read more

Windward Snow Shave Ice - Lychee and coconut shaved ice topped with condensed milk (I think). - Shaved Ice Near Me

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Great shave ice and service - fast and priced right :) === 2. FOOD There's nothing more comforting than shave ice on a warm day (or a warm night) and so what a treat it was to find Windward Snow Shave Ice at the Honolulu City Lights Festival during the holiday evenings. Sure, they don't have fresh fruit toppings or other condiments some of the competition in town have, but there's still something to be said for consistently fine shaved ice with a wide range of tasty syrups served up to you quickly to cool you off sooner - and it's only $4 for the small size or $5 for the large size! === 3. SERVICE Deborah and her family are fantastic with the friendly service and smiles. === 4. ATMOSPHERE We're talking about a pop-up tent at local events and so it's as good as the event - look-wise, parking-wise, and stroller-friendly-wise! The wonderful family running the show really set the mood and the mood is right - for great shave ice and service! read more

Windward Snow Shave Ice - A small (partially eaten when baby took over!) - Shaved Ice Near Me

While planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to serve a memorable and unique dessert other than just wedding cake. I initially found a different company but they were out of my budget and weren't willing to travel to our venue. With about only one month until our wedding, I was frantically searching high and low for a mobile shave ice service and that's when I found Windward Snow on Yelp. Although there weren't many reviews, the few that were published were glowing. I decided to message Patrick and he was extremely helpful and accommodating of my tight deadline. After an initial kick-off call, I discovered Windward Snow is a local family business ran by Pat and his sons. Pat worked directly with my wedding coordinator to help alleviate the stress which was much appreciated! I voiced to Pat that I wanted to offer additional toppings to help elevate the dish and he was willing and eager to accommodate my special request. Pat is very personable, professional and friendly. Many of our guests said the shave ice was their favorite part of the wedding. Unlike some of our other vendors, Pat was extremely responsive which is exactly what we needed since we were planning a destination wedding and were on a tight deadline! We reached out to a few shave ice vendors and Windward Snow was the most reasonable! If you have an upcoming special event (wedding, birthday, corporate celebration, etc.), I definitely recommend working with Pat and his sons! Not only do they serve incredible soft shave snow with homemade tropical syrups, but they're so kind, friendly and accommodating! read more

Windward Snow Shave Ice - Windward Snow Set Up at Wedding Venue - Shaved Ice Near Me

The best shave ice folks in Hawaii!!! I first met them during Chinese New Year several years ago. They had a booth in Chinatown. The shave ice was delicious, then I found out that they do catered events. I hired them to do my sons pre-wedding party at Waialae Country Club. The event was out on the lawn near the swimming pool. They brought all of their own equipment including their generator. They arrived on time, properly dressed, with all the equipment, ice, and supplies needed. They set up quietly and professionally. The generator was nice and quiet. All of the guests were thrilled to be able to eat as much shaved ice as they wanted and it was delicious! My next opportunity to have them was for our family reunion which was held at ala Moana park. They brought their tent and again all of their equipment supplies and paper goods. Dressed for fun on time they professionally provided all the shave ice everyone can eat. There were at least 100 people at that event. Until today my family recalls that event especially the shaved ice. I can highly recommend Winward snow for any event you might have including pre-wedding parties, family reunions, birthday parties, graduation parties, or just because. read more

We hired Windward Snow for my Daughter's First Birthday Party. Out of all the shave ice/ice cream vendors I contacted, they had the most reasonable price for two hours of unlimited shave ice with 10 flavors and condensed milk as a topping. Not only was the price great, but the shave ice was delicious! Pat was also really great to work with and very charismatic. He helped serve bentos and cupcakes in his down time and even went around before he wrapped things up to see if anyone wanted any last minute shave ice. Needless to say, I would highly recommend using his services at your next event! read more

Windward Snow Shave Ice - Vanilla and lime - Shaved Ice Near Me

We love Patrick and Windward Snow Shave Ice! Weve booked him twice, once back in 2017 for my sons 5th birthday party, and just recently at my kids end of year school party (May 2022). At our school party, Patrick helped make "mini" shave ice treats for a little under 100 students (plus for teachers and parents). He was prompt, on-time, quick, and handled the set-up, making of shave ice, breakdown all by himself. The quality of his shave ice is always the best (soft, fine, not hard and icey), and the shave ice flavors are super tasty! Patrick is wonderful to work with - responsive, good communication, and provides excellent customer service. He is a package deal - great service and superb shave ice! For next party/event, I will definitely call up Patrick at Windward Snow. Mahalo Patrick! read more

When the sun beats down, there's nothing quite like shave ice to cool you off. Whenever I spot Windward Snow at an event, it's an instant mood lifter. Their flavors are spot on--just the right amount of sweetness--and the texture of the ice is unbeatable. Trust me, you won't regret it! read more

I want to thank Windward Snow for serving our guests at our cocktail hour on our wedding day! A few weeks before our wedding our previous vendor canceled on us, as I frantically was looking up other shave ice vendors and came across Windward Snow. Right away Pat was very responsive over the phone and E-mail and provided me reassurance they would be available. When the big day came I couldn't have been happier with their set up and kindness to us. Thank you again for everything! I highly recommend using them for your next event or wedding :) read more

I can't express how much I loved having Windward Snow at our event. We had a drive-thru birthday party and wanted something special for the event. Patrick, the owner was amazing from the day I sent an inquiry. He is incredibly responsive and very professional. I have never met such a professional, friendly, and humble company owner. Windward Snow made the "party" and definitely exceeded our expectations. The shave ice is so delicious and refreshing. The flavor options were amazing for adults and children. Literally, every guest came back for seconds or thirds. If you are thinking of hiring a shave ice vendor, you need to hire Windward Snow! You won't regret it. We plan to use them for all of our future events! read more

Such great service. We booked their Shaved Ice stand for a work function at the beach. We booked late and he came early all the way out to Hau'ula. So friendly and courteous. I almost got brain freeze cause they were free...... almost. Mahalo Pat, we will definitely be seeing you again. read more

Windward Snow Shave Ice - Uncle Pat was a life saver in this heat. Mahalo for the treats. - Shaved Ice Near Me

Patrick and Windward Snow did an amazing job at my daughter's 3rd birthday party. From the first time I contact him through to the service at the party - everything was wonderful. He communicates timely, was prompt, had great customer service, and his finely shaven and fluffy shave ice was delicious. So many of our guests loved it and we got a ton of compliments... all of which should have been directed straight to Patrick! If you want shave ice for your next event, I highly recommend Windward Snow! We will definitely be contacting him again next time we want shave ice at an event. Thanks Patrick! read more

If you need shave ice for an event, these are your go to guys. I contracted them to come to my work job site (2 hours) and it was a great choice. The weather was hot and muggy at ewa beach. This was the best set up for an appreciation celebration with shave ice. Construction workers deserve a treat at the end of a hot day and Windward Snow provided this for them. They came with there own power and set up. The shave ice was soft and the flavors were on spot. Not to forget the toppings condensed milk and li hing mui power, that made it the bomb. Thank you for coming on time, setting up and cleaning up. I will definitely use you again. Company summer events are here. You should really consider hiring them for your event. Everyone loves a good shave ice. You won't be disappointed! read more

I've been following Winward Snow for well over 10 years! I first met Uncle Patrick and Aunty Deb when they were at a track and field meet. Then, at my universities new student orientation and other events! They do so many community events and their shave ice is GREAT. I have tried almost all of the flavors and it is just how I like it. It isn't super sweet like most shaved ice. I highly recommend Winward Snow for any of your events. (: read more

I'd love to recommend Windward Snow Shave Ice for your next event, but that would risk them not being available the next time we may need them! In all seriousness, this shave ice stand was the highlight of my daughter's 3rd birthday party. We had her party under a pavilion with a bounce house and it was the perfect treat for both adults and children while at the beach. The kids loved it and the adults kept telling me how it brought them back to little kid kine days with the huge yet soft pile of flavored ice served in a paper cone. Sure they didn't have the fresh fruit toppings but that's not it used to be back in the days. He had condensed milk and li hing mui powder and that's really all the extras we needed (pineapple shave ice with li hing powder on top? Winnahzzz). Patrick was very friendly and personable from the day I called to inquire until the day he showed up. My husband thought I knew him from somewhere because of how easily he would talk story with us and with the guests. The shave ice was great but it was the service that we appreciated. Also I can't believe that he charged 2/3 or 1/2 less than the others because everything was top quality. He was on time and very flexible when I had a last minute change with the time. I forgot that I needed his information to get him on base and he responded with all my frantic texts and calls quickly and patiently. He brought everything that he needed and asked questions before setting up. Very professional but also laid back enough to match the vibe of the party. I'm excited to plan the next party because I plan to book Windward Snow the next chance I get! Mahalo, Patrick!! read more
