I’m always on a quest to find the best shave ice in Hawaii which led me here.
My husband and I shared:
– The Local
– The Kula Rainbow with Condensed Milk
The flavors of the Kula Rainbow were my favorite, but I loved the Haupia Cream top on the local. That kind of topping is less common from what I’ve seen.
This is the best shave ice I’ve had on the Hilo side of the island and I’ll definitely be back next time I visit Hawaii.

Best shave ice we’ve ever had. A little spendy but worth it for the quality of ingredients that they use! Love all their special flavors and hope to try them all before we have to leave the island.

We had an amazing experience at Kula Shave Ice! The Kula Rainbow was incredibly refreshing with perfect fruity flavors, and the shaved ice was so soft and fluffy. We also tried the Vietnamese cold coffee — it was rich, bold, and perfectly sweet. Everything tasted delicious, and it made our day extra special. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area! ☕

Fantastic, authentic, made from scratch, shaved ice. A true Hawaiian original. If you’re looking for something with bright food coloring and artificial flavors keep walking. A good dessert that you can feel good about eating!

We weren’t too impressed by the shave ice when we were at Maui Island; however we decided to take another chance when our fellow travelers strongly recommended this shop. They were not wrong about the fresh and natural ingredients, no artificial flavors or color but real stuff! We enjoyed very much and totally restored our confidence on shave ice! $9 with one to two flavors, and our choice was guava and ube (sweet potato) cream, yummy!

I love this place. I saw it while at the farmers market and had to try it. I had the big island love and it was so yummy and refreshing in the heat. I was worried it would be too sweet but the lime flavor was tart and the coconut slightly sweet together with the condensed milk was such a good balance. The lady at the window was sweet as well. Great place to stop but if you visit the market.

Kula Shave Ice sign board states that they have been operational since 1936. Their USP: organically-grown and locally-sourced fruit, organic cane sugar, ultra-filtered water. They freeze hundreds of water buckets every week using pure water. There by they claim to control the quality of the ice. Most of the toppings and ice creams are prepared in-house. My Grand Daughter thoroughly enjoyed the shave ice of Kula

Visited Hilo and noticed the shave ice place we used to visit along the main street had gone so I found this place. Wow, the strawberry and lilikoi with condensed milk was delicious. Really good fruit not from a flavored syrup, and condensed milk was a decadent finish. I will definitely come back for more!

I ordered a guava and lilikoi shaved ice with condensed milk on top and I was beyond thrilled with how amazing this shaved ice was. I appreciated the menu was clear and had tons of options for customers.

This place was fantastic, the best shaved ice we had on the island and we have been trying places daily. I got half coconut and have guava with the haupia cream snow cap and it was delicious! So glad we stopped and tried it!
