The Story
The colorful shave ice, piled high like a rainbow dream, felt like a sweet hug on a warm Waimea afternoon. The air around the little walk-up window hummed with happy chatter and the clink of spoons, a perfect slice of Americana right here in Hawaii. Each creamy scoop of ice cream and frosty milkshake tasted like pure joy, a delightful treat found off the beaten path.

## ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Ultimate Tropical Treat! Hands down, this is the absolute best Hawaiian shave ice you will find on the avenue! The ice is shaved down to a perfect, pillowy snow texture that completely absorbs the rich, authentic fruit syrups rather than letting them sink to the bottom. Upgrading it with a scoop of ice cream at the base and a sweet condensed milk "snow cap" on top creates the ultimate island flavor explosion. If you are looking for a refreshing, top-tier treat to beat the heat, this place is a 10/10 must-visit!

Located in Kawaihae, Anuenue Ice Cream & Shave Ice have been serving up great, flavorful frozen treats for many years. Their ice cream is of high quality with many flavors offered. It is a bit pricey. Their shaved ice comes in a plastic cone. It is a generous combination of ice and syrups, which come in many tasty flavors. The staff were very friendly. Definitely hits the spot on a hot day. Cool out at Anuenue IceCream and Shaved Ice shop. You won’t be disappointed.

Pure Aloha in a Cone! If you are looking for the absolute best shave ice on the island, Anuenue Shave Ice is it. I’ve tried a lot of spots, but the ice here is next-level—it is so incredibly fine and fluffy that it literally melts in your mouth like fresh snow. No crunchy ice chunks here! What We Ordered: The Flavor Combo: We got a mix of passion fruit (lilikoi), mango, and coconut. The syrups taste like actual, real fruit, not that artificial, sugary cough-syrup stuff you get at cheaper places. The Upgrades (A Must!): Do yourself a favor and get it with a scoop of macadamia nut ice cream at the bottom and the snow cap (sweetened condensed milk) on top. It makes it so rich and creamy! The staff was incredibly friendly, patient while we decided on flavors, and the service was fast even though there was a bit of a line (which is always a good sign). It’s the perfect, refreshing treat to beat the heat.
