One Aloha Shave Ice Co.

The place was very spacious for a dessert cafe/shop and there are various choices for a shaved ice. The lady was very gracious and she offered other choices apart from what is already on the menu. I have tried the shaved ice before from a Korean restaurant and it was divine. The shaved iced on this one was also good but not as good as to the Korean shaved ice. Overall I am happy with my shaved ice experience in Hawaii, it was refreshingly good.

The owners are wonderful!! There are SO MANY flavor options AND they are made with the actual fruits/ingredients of that flavor - no fake syrups or food coloring. And there's the option of ice cream on the inside and/or coconut cap added on top. The only con: they don't have a shop on the mainland, specifically NC; & whenever I see a shave ice place near home, my hopes are immediately dashed because they won't be as good as One Aloha, so I don't even waste my money there & I just hold out for One Aloha! They say money can't buy you happiness - here it can in the form of Shave Ice 🍧❤😍

Ono shave ice with house-made organic syrups made from fresh local fruits! Cash and Venmo only. Awesome local owners. I've been going to One Aloha since they started out in Kamehameha Square. Super nice and friendly owners. Their homemade organic syrups are so tasty and not overly sweet. My favorite fruit flavors are guava, Lilikoi, strawberry whip, and coconut. Around Easter and Halloween sometimes they make black licorice which is bomb if you like that kind of thing. Also, I really appreciate that they serve the shave ice in reusable wooden bowls and metal spoons for less waste and a fancier eating experience! Ample parking including one accessible parking stall right next to the entrance. Clean restrooms available. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating options. Cute tiny tables and chairs for the keiki.

I keep doing reviews and saying I found my favorite shave ice in Hawaii and then finding another amazing place. Let's just say I have 3-4 favorites and this place is definitely one. Find a shave ice place that shaves the ice very finely, makes all their own syrups and purees, and gives you enough syrup. That is the recipe I found for great shave ice. This place checks all of those boxes. We got a small with strawberry whip and marshmallow (topped with a snow cap, add lychee ice cream). Lychee ice cream isn't something I've seen elsewhere. Everything was great. I love that the strawberry had pureed fruit in it. If you're in Kona, come support this place.

This is my favorite shave ice place, not just on the Big Island, but out of all the Hawaiian islands. There is so much I love about this place - let me count the ways: 1) The flavors are made with real fruit and organic sugar, and they all taste amazing. So intense, fruity, refreshing, and delicious! Try any and every flavor - you truly can’t go wrong. 2) They use reusable wooden bowls and metal spoons!!! A rarity in the shave ice world where it usually comes in a disposable bowl with plastic spoons that’ll spend an eternity in a landfill. 3) The staff are so friendly and wonderful, and they always have delightful holiday decorations. There isn’t a single shave ice place in Kona that even comes close to One Aloha. I wish I could eat here every day!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Best shaved ice EVER! I’m a health and fitness person so if I’m going to treat myself I typically go for healthy. As far as shaved ice goes this is the place! They do a great job of making their own flavors and using the freshest ingredients. The flavors taste so real and clean. I also love that they are a pretty waste free buisness. They don’t use disposable cups for water or shaved ice. Maybe if you ask for it to go but why would you do that? Sit down and embrace the Hawaiian time. I’ve been a fan of One Aloha for years! Do yourself a favor and try this place out. Compare it to another shaved ice place if you like. I guarantee One Aloha will be your favorite.

Delicious, organic flavors, helpful and friendly service. What more do you need? We each had the regular size (medium; there’s also keiki and large). You choose 3 flavors of syrup- the husband had raspberry, blueberry, and lemon (he’s a tangy guy). I had coconut, strawberry, and Lilikoi with a coconut milk snow cap. The cap is lightly drizzled and freezes on the ice. They were both wonderful! Plenty of seating and keiki-sized tables and chairs, too.

Amazing shaved ice!! They use actual fruit purees and they have haupia condensed milk (coconut). Big portions and fair prices. The owners are so sweet! Loved the strawberry coconut, and guava were heavenly. Best shaved ice on the island
