Hokulia Shave Ice - Saratoga Springs — Restaurant in Saratoga Springs

There was only one person working there and so many customers. I don't blame the employee, but it was horribly inefficient. He had to stop to take orders between snow cones and each one took about 5 minutes to make. We were lucky to arrive before it got too busy, but I saw people waiting over 30 minutes for one snow cone. Additionally, the place was absolutely swarming with wasps! I don't know if there's any way around that, but it was impossible to just sit and enjoy a snow cone when you have 10 wasps surrounding you at all times. I don't think any of these things are the fault of the company but maybe something to be aware of before you...

My kids love it and we go a few times a month. Only open seasonally in the golf course parking lot (roughly Memorial Day to Labor Day).

Edit: the last time we went they had added a new kids size to the menu for $3.50. it was still big enough that our two younger...

There were three of us and we were served one at a time, so we were partially done by the time the next person got theirs. Flavor was good and I like the texture opposed to average snow cone. Probably won't...
