This place was recommended to us by a local so we popped in after a day at the beach. The cashier was super friendly and helpful in choosing flavors and I ended up going with Ube cream, Lilikoi, and Melona. Everything was super delicious, including the ice cream and float which others in the group got.

Super patient staff, answered questions and gave samples as 8 of us tried to order for the first time. The portions were huge as stated. A keiki is plenty for an adult. The sno cap is coconut cream topping. All so reasonable. It is worth the drive from Kona just to come here for the experience...but there is a half mile waterfall hike close by to start your day. I tried tons of flavors off all the orders...all good. But I couldn't resist the coconut and chocolate macadamia ice cream.

Staff was lovely - there is an extra fee to use a credit card, cash is preferred. Pricing was definitely fair given the portion sizes. There was a steady stream of customers ordering. Many flavours of ice cream and shaved ice. The ice cream was delicious and the shaved ice was excellent. Portion sizes for the ice cream and shaved ice were large. We split one shaved ice between two people and it was more than enough - flavours were good. We enjoyed our visit!

Oh my gosh we were so pleasantly surprised to find a local ice cream shop with so many amazing tropical flavors. This is a must stop for any visitors who want to try some exotic flavors. Located in a strip mall, it's a small place with a large selection. Generous servings and good prices make this a place that anyone would like
