| - Today after a quick search on Yelp for somewhere to have a cold treat, i came across this shop that has amazing reviews for Hawaiian shaved ice. Curious and wanting to give something new a try,I decided to make the short trip and give it a whirl. For a nice change of pace, it was an excellent decision.
First off I can say that Kevin, the owner of the shop, is an incredibly kind gentleman who comes from Hawaii and grew up having these sorts of treats he sells now. By far this is nothing like a snow cone that you have ever tried. The flavors available, which are in the dozens and are made by hand weekly by Kevin, are all incredible. I sampled several and couldn't find one that I even slightly disliked. The portions are generous, and very reasonable given the low prices. For a Hawaiian spin, you can have a scoop of ice cream added inside your shaved ice to further the amazing taste and experience. If you come just for yourself or to get a cool treat with the kids, everyone is going to leave happy and thinking of what you will try next visit.
Not only do they offer shaved ice. but they also carry a variety of hot coffee, mochas, lattes, and frappes. There are a selection of smoothies to try along with a fruit bowl of sorts. I was able to try out the Hula Bowl, which offered fresh strawberries, cocoa nibs, sliced almonds, bananas, all on a chilled puree of pitaya(dragonfruit) and topped with honey. I was far and away amazed. It truly felt that I could order anything from here and it would be delicious.
