I know Matsumoto is famous but Uncle Clay is my favorite on the island. They use real fruits in their syrup and it showed in the taste. Nothing better after a long hike than icy fruity goodness. Their ice cream is top notch also

Fresh, delicious, and worth the price! You will feel their aloha with their service and products. There is a reason everyone loves Uncke Clays. Kiddies will always want to come back too!

I'm not sure why this place is the number one rated but it did lead me out to one side of the island I wouldn't have otherwise seen. Parking is easy enough, and the store is really easy to navigate. It would be nice if they had more fresh fruits or if they made fruit purees instead of syrup. It was my first time having shaved ice and it didn't disappoint 👍🏼 however if you're not doing much on that side of the island I wouldn't bother venturing out.

This place is a little bit out of the way but is in a mall so there was lots of parking. I'd read that Uncle Clay's shave ice was fantastic, but was still surprised by how nice it was! Service was quick even though there was only one guy working, but he was really friendly. There are about 20 flavours and toppings to choose from and while other shops have more options, they don't have this incredible taste! The syrups actually tasted fruity and were a little sweet but not to the ppoint of being sickly. The real fruit toppings were a nice option, as they really complemented the natural flavours of the syrups. Even though we came on a cold day, we still ate the whole thing, and the value and portions were really good.

Uncle Clay's!! We love it!! They use fresh fruit to make their syrups and you can definitely tell. I really make a world of difference in the taste. I've been there prior to this trip and it was even better the 2nd time around. I always get liliko'i and guava with ice cream and dream sauce. So, so good. I can't wait to get more!!
Mahalo Uncle Clay!!
