The Shave Ice Spot in West Maui is a delightful discovery that lives up to its popularity. The star of the show here is undoubtedly the shave ice itself, with a fluffy texture that's simply perfect. It's light, airy, and melts in your mouth - exactly what you want on a hot Hawaiian day.
The flavors are fantastic, sweetened with cane sugar for a natural taste that's not overpowering. If you're feeling adventurous, try it with the snow cap and a sprinkle of li hing mui powder. It's a combination that really elevates the whole experience.
What really adds to the charm of this place is the staff. They're genuinely lovely, managing to be both efficient and friendly even when dealing with the constant stream of customers.

If you're in the area, I'd highly recommend giving The Shave Ice Spot a try. It's a refreshing treat that encapsulates the sweet, laid-back spirit of Maui. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait - but trust me, it's worth...

Also, there was hardly any seating outdoors to enjoy them. The shop needs to consider adding more seating if the won’t allow anyone inside to eat. Lastly, the employee was not kind about staying we needed to enjoy them outside after we explained I was waiting for my kids to get theirs. Overall, not a...
Read moreI stopped in at the for some shaved ice with my fiancé while we were waiting for our laundry to finish in the same plaza. We had not yet tried shaved ice while we were in Hawaii so we were happy to finally get the chance to try some. The staff at the Shave Ice Spot were very friendly and gave us some tips on where to visit while on vacation. The portions are huge and delicious and you could easily get one rainbow shave ice for two people. The store was very clean and was also right next to another store with lots of items to look at while you wait. There is some seating directly outside on the sidewalk of the plaza which was convenient. Overall I...
