This was our first shave ice experience on the island, and I have to say, they set a very high bar for us. They have such unique flavors; it was so good. The staff was great, very friendly. I had never had anything quite like...it.More

If you want to experience the shave ice as it should be and still keep your sugar intake under control, this is your place. The beautiful, friendly ladies working there start the experience right with their warm smiles and a recommendation (if you are looking...for one). You get a good amount of cold packed goodness and the toppings (no honey for me the next time). I wouldn't get the sour flavors since there is no sugar in other flavors to contrast it, which is what I was ignorantly going for. It's all natural, so your teeth don't hurt, and your mouth is happily free of food coloring. We are in concensus, this is the best place for shave ice!More

Best shave ice in the area. Great flavor combinations including fruit toppings or honey or both! In the plaza next to Da Crack, an awesome takeout spot for tacos, burritos or bowls. But the shave ice is out of this world! Don’t miss it.

Don’t expect the oversized shave ice that you get at other stands. Our servings were a decent size but smaller than others. It was still good.

This place is da Bomb. It is unassuming, perched outside of a market, but the fresh/natural ingredients make this spot the best shaved ice in Kauai. Do it!

Our favorite shave ice in Kauai! They only use natural fruit juice, not sugary syrup. The flavors are all so good and the ice is topped with coconut cream, honey and fresh fruit. Delicious!!!

We really enjoyed our Waikomo shave ice! We stopped by after a long hike on a hot day and it really hit the spot. Great selection of flavors and add-ins!

The title says it all. We frequent the island often and my wife has to go at least once. They have every flavor in the book too!

Wonderful fresh shaved ice! Super friendly staff. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the owner was the individual who served us. He was SO nice and personable. Definitely worth giving them a try.

Definitely riding on hype. It’s not bad and it’s pretty good. But you can get this anywhere. Barely any taste. Good shaved ice if you happen to be here. L

Didn't live up to the hype. Expensive and underwhelming flavor. There was barely any taste. Mainly a mound of shaved ice. Not for me. Give me a mainland, run-of-the-mill, carnival snow cone any day.
