"Now with locations in San Diego and Portland, the OG Wailua is still in Kapaa. There you'll find the inventive combinations that they're now known for, like an Almond Joy (Nutella, coconut milk, almonds coconut flakes) and Lava Flow, which includes strawberry puree, coconut foam, and pineapple juice."

The 9 Best Shave Ice Spots in Hawai‘i | Eater

"Is there such thing as a shave ice chef? Before returning home to open this retro-style red trailer with high school friend Joshua Tamaoka, Brandon Baptiste, a local Kaua‘i boy (his father was the late mayor Bryan Baptiste), attended the Culinary Institute of America and worked as a line cook at Per Se. His sophisticated sense of texture and flavor is reflected in combinations like the Lava Flow, topped with a pillowy coconut foam, and the Lilikoi Cream, with fresh liliko‘i and a vanilla bean milk. Some flavors are seasonal, all are natural, and they tend toward the lighter, less sweet side, with the ice often doused with fruit juices instead of syrups." - Martha Cheng

A Taste of Aloha: Hawai’i’s Homegrown Culinary Revolution | Eater

"A wildly popular trailer started by two Kauai natives (one an alum of the Culinary Institute of America and Per Se) that makes rich shave ices from local fruit topped with feather-light foam. It’s especially Instagram-friendly and features creative combos and toppings; the signature Lava Flow blends pineapple juice, coconut foam, and strawberry puree, and other add-ons range from ice cream to salted dried plum, condensed milk, and sweet red beans." - Vox Creative

By far this has been the best shave ice of our trip! Tried Jojo's was not the kind of shave ice we were expecting, thicker chunks and not smooth. Wailua is the place to get that nice smooth shave ice! The fresh fruit on top was amazing. All of the shave ice we tried was delicious and they are open until 9PM. If you have been on Kauai for longer than 2 days you will notice most places close up early or before 7pm. We will be back for more shave ice before we head back home!

What a TREAT! Technically ate here a month ago but I keep thinking back on the Triple Coconut Shave Ice and Da Ube One Shave Ice. And I wish I had some now. So. Freaking. Good. The shave ice is perfectly fine - melt in your mouth without freezing into a block in your bowl. The flavor is well distributed so each scoop you eat is awesome. And the cream on top w/ the roasted coconut flakes takes a 10/10 and brings to an 11. Ordered both with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream at the bottom. BAM. Epic. I had Shave Ice at various locations during my two week trip and Wailua Shave Ice was genuinely a league above the rest. If you have to pick one, this place is a no brainer. You will have missed out on greatness if you leave before stopping by. This was the last thing I got to eat during my time in Kauai and it was the icing on the cake, the cherry on top of the shake - Don't miss it!

I learned quickly visiting Hawaii that you should absolutely judge it's shaved ice based on the line of people waiting. We had multiple people tell us that this is the best shaved ice not just on Kauai but on all of the Hawaiian Islands. This proved to be absolutely not true. There are certainly better shaved ice options. What makes this place at the lower end of the list is not just the fact that the quality of the shaved ice was just not that good, but there's also no interaction with people here. You order through a kiosk, and there are people behind the counter who make it, all they do is shout out your name when it's done like Starbucks next door. The shaved ice is mediocre at best. I do want to give a shout out to the owners of this facility because they have learned how to maximize profits and I applaud that. The facility was clean and the three young ladies behind the counter who were making the shaved ice appeared to be happy and get along.

Got the Lava Flow with ice cream and snow cap. It was delicious! 😋 It was plenty big enough for two to share.

All my stars are just for the texture of the shave ice the texture is sooooooo fluffy however I feel like their flavors could use some help but the almond joy is pretty good.

damn. this is some shave ice joint. Even though it's inside of establishment and not part of a food truck which I feel like is more the way to go, this place does a great shave ice, very delicate and tasty and great texture and fresh and delicious and refreshing and everything you would want from one, at theo with some mochi and it had a very light whipped on top and definitely going to come back for the lava

By far best shaved ice on the island and their awards speak for themselves. I am pretty sure they have been ranked best shaved ice on the island every year since 2018 except for 2020 for obvious reasons. Kinda hard to argue that.

9/10 - da ube one 9.5/10: so fire. the cream on top was wonderful, with surprises of crunchy coconut flakes. every bite had just as much flavor, the ice was infused!!!! - lava flow 3/10: so bad. don't get this one. it tasted like artificial pineapple, with some sad canned pineapple and frozen strawberries on top. the haupia cream was good but didn't make up for the rest of it being so bad. we ended up tossing half of it :(

Wailua Shave Ice in Kapa'a is easily one of the sweetest highlights of any Kaua'i trip! This isn't your average neon-syrup snow cone -- it's next-level shave ice made with real fruit purées and fresh ingredients that taste like pure island sunshine. Every flavor is handcrafted, vibrant, and totally refreshing. You can feel the difference from the first bite -- soft, fluffy ice that melts perfectly, paired with tropical flavors like pineapple, strawberry, and coconut that taste authentic, not artificial. The "Lava Flow" is my personal favorite -- strawberry purée, coconut foam, and pineapple juice that tastes like paradise in a cup. The coconut foam (or haupia cream) on top is a total game changer -- light, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. The staff is super friendly, the line moves quickly, and you can tell they genuinely care about what they're serving. Located right off Kuhio Highway, it's the perfect pit stop whether you're cruising the island or headed to the beach. Every bite feels like summer, and it's impossible not to leave smiling. If you're in Kaua'i, Wailua Shave Ice is a must-try. Once you've had it, no other shave ice will ever compare! #WailuaShaveIce #KauaiEats https://linktr.ee/reessroots

Hands down the best shave ice I've ever had!!! Out of the "famous" shave ice spots of Oahu (where I'm from), I'd choose Wailua any day. The Lava Flow with haupia foam - AMAZING. Strawberry chunks were a nice touch. I miss it everyday. Da Ube One was also yummy & we loved the ube foam! Fresh mochi & roasted coconut flakes added so much texture & a nice flavor too. I truly hope they consider opening a store on Oahu or in LA where I currently live. I will be the most loyal customer lmfao.

Good shaved ice. Wasn't as good as some others id tried. Texture of the ice was my fave part. They use soft serve for their ice cream center and it doesn't hit the way traditional macadamia nut does imo. Flavors were good but not popping. Maybe i got the wrong pick. Staff were nice, ambiance basic. Great a/c lol was blasting Strawberry coconut shaved ice: 6/10 Good but not great Root beer float ice: 6/10 Disclaimer: and the reason for 3 stars vs 4: their customer bathroom was abhorrent. Like it is a straight up health safety hazard. Worse than truck stop, i was shocked. Im only assuming employees must use another one bc this was like wrong lol. No TP, no PT. Dust and stickiness everywhere. Like have yall ever cleaned that bathroom? Fr makes me worry about all the food sanitation that isn't sanitizing lol Please management, clean that bathroom DAILY.

I ordered the strawberry coconut, $12.00. Tasted like plain ice with a dribble of fresh strawberry on top. I am convinced they either forgot my flavorings or it was just bad highway robbery.

Stopped here for a shave ice after our hike. The wait wasn't too long. They already have preset menus so no custom flavors/combos. Lilikoi cream was so good. It's not on the tablet menu so you have to order with a person since they only sell a limited amount. The size is pretty big for one person. My husband liked the ube one it came with ube coconut foam on top. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in the neighborhood!

Absolutely delicious! Wailua Shave Ice is next-level good -- light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. The house-made milks are creamy perfection, and the fresh fruits taste like they were picked that morning. You can taste the quality and care in every bite. A must-stop treat spot in Kaua'i! Staff is friendly and the shop is super cute! There aren't a lot of seating options inside but there are tables outside too!

Soooo good! This was by far the best shave ice we had during our week in Kauai. Ice was soft, flavor combos were on point, and the foam tops were soo fluffy and delicious. We came twice because it was so good and I wish we had the time and stomach to come back a third time! If you're an ube fan, definitely come and get Da Ube One. There was so much ube and coconut flavor. The ube foam was so creamy and the roasted coconut flakes gave a nice crunch. The store itself has some seating inside and there's also outdoor seating. Workers were friendly and shave ice orders come out fast!

Just AMAZING! Not your typical shave ice flavors but we love this place. 2nd time to Kauai and we made sure to get our fix. Service: 5/5 Workers all smiled and greeted with aloha. The wait for shave ice once you place it does not take long at all. is Ambiance: 4/5 Just your normal shave ice spot. They do have a little section that they sell their merchandise. Food: 5/5 Flavors are on point. When you add the Ube or Hopia foam .. The best part is their shave ice DOES NOT melt fast. I asked the worker why their shave ice doesn't melt fast like others and she just said "I put a lot of love into it" Lol! This is a MUST COME to spot!

Hands down the BEST shave ice I have ever had! We drove past this place a few times during our trip to Kaua'i, and I regret not trying it on our first day. Every time we passed by it was crowded which should have been our hint that the shave ice here was amazing. We got the Strawberry Coconut to share amongst the 4 of us. It has strawberry puree, coconut milk, haupia foam (GAME CHANGER), roasted coconut flakes, and almonds. And of course we had to add vanilla ice cream. All of the flavors blended so well with each other. I could've probably ate the whole thing by myself. What puts Wailua Shave Ice apart from other shaved ice spots is they don't serve ice chunks drenched in syrup like most shaved ice spots do. Their ice was so thin that it melted in your mouth and tasted like creamy flavored ice. You can either order at the counter or use their contactless screens. It was crowded but we waited less than 5 mins for our bowl. The staff was friendly and gave us great recommendations. They said their other popular flavors are Da Ube One and Love Potion #9. We will definitely visit this place on our next vacation back to Kaua'i!

I have to preface this with the fact that we had some disappointing shave ice earlier in the week at another establishment, where I overpaid for a big bowl of ice and a drizzle of syrup that barely covered the mound's surface. It was our last day in Kauai and I was determined to have a positive shave ice experience. After consulting TikTok, we found all these videos featuring their Ube shave ice and I was sold! This spot was less than 10 minute drive from our resort. How could we have missed it all this time??! It's part of a strip mall, so parking was super easy. This place was clean despite all the sticky syrups that are apt to land on the floor when people are moving about. It was busy, but the line moved fast. You place your order at a kiosk and they call your name at the counter when the order is ready. It was crowded inside, so we took to the benches outside to enjoy our treats. The Ube shave ice was everything! We were pretty full from lunch, so we ordered two to share among my fam of 4. Wailua did not disappoint. They were generous with the ube syrup, no white ice to be seen! It comes with a drizzle of condensed milk, ube whipped cream, and is topped with toasted coconut, which enhances the flavors and gave it a nice texture. We opted for a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which made for a creamy center. I've seen some folks order mochi with it. I might try it that way next time. There will be a next time. This was such a nice way to end our trip to Kauai. We headed straight to the airport afterward feeling very satisfied!

The weather was pretty hot when we left the Smith's Fern Grotto so we came here for some shave ice to cool off. Saw some awesome Ube shave ice photos on Yelp and that's what we ordered. Let me tell you they did not disappoint! The shave ice looks like out of a commercial photo shoot, the coconut flakes on top of the purple ube ice both looks and tastes amazing. We loved the Ube ice so much that we actually came back the next day to try other flavors and we'll be back for sure!

So good! I ordered Da Ube One. A bit on the sweeter side, but you can definitely taste the ube. The toasted coconut was crunchy and flavorful--paired perfectly with the cream. I went back to try the cookies and cream but sadly there wasn't as much flavor. I'd definitely get Da Ube One again next time I'm in the area. Welcoming atmosphere and efficient service. They even topped it off with more syrup when I asked. Heads up: there's a 3% credit card charge, so I paid in cash.

Spontaneous visit to Wailua Shave Ice after a hot afternoon at the beach. This spot is spacious, with a good amount of seating. Apparently, it's been voted as one of the top shave ice spots in all of Kauai for several years! I got their strawberry guava shave ice, which was topped with some diced strawberries and honey drizzle. Price wise, it seems comparable to other shave ice spots I've seen around Hawaii. The shave ice was delicious, but a bit on the sweeter side. They also have some unique flavours such as cookies & cream and ube, which seemed to be popular. I did find that the syrup didn't penetrate the ice as deeply (maybe they didn't poke deep enough holes in the ice), but they offer free syrup refills. I wish there was an option for customizing flavours and changing sizes of the shave ice though, because the majority of the flavours weren't ones I'd go for.

Wailua Shave Ice lived up to every bit of the hype. The flavors are fresh, the ice is soft and fluffy, and you can tell they care about quality. I got the Lava Flow, and the woman working there recommended adding sweetened condensed milk on top. It took everything to the next level without making it overly sweet. This is definitely not your typical neon syrup kind of shave ice. The fruit purées actually taste like fruit, and the whole thing feels way more satisfying than you'd expect from something that melts in minutes. Service was friendly, quick, and the vibe was relaxed. I'd absolutely come back next time I'm on the island.

Amazing shave ice! The almond joy is my favorite but we also tried the ube which was delish as well. So flavorful and refreshing.

I came in with high expectations based on the yelp rating. I ordered the pina colorada. At best, it was OK. Almost no flavor. Not that I want things super sweet. But yikes. It's possible other drinks are much better, and I somehow selected the less desirable option. Since I'm staying very close, I might come back and try the mango thing. But 4.7 rating means everything on the menu should be very good.

This shave ice was calling out to us after we arrived on the island and got some other shopping finished. It's conveniently located right next to the ABC Store. We were greeted upon entering and helped promptly. They were more than happy to explain their menu to us and answer our questions. My kids both got the strawberry mango. I couldn't decide between the lava flow and da ube one, but they told me to go for da ube one if I love ube (and I do)! Naturally flavored, no need to worry about stained teeth here. The shave ice was perfect and hit the spot. They were also really beautiful--works of art! Good amount of seating available inside, but we got cold and it got really crowded shortly after we arrived, so we moved to a bench outside. Merchandise is also available for purchase and a clean restroom is available for customers only. We really enjoyed our visit here!

This was the prettiest shave ice I had in Kauai, it was also delicious. They have unique combinations and real fruit toppings. Don't walk in thinking you can get a basic cherry/blue raspberry shave ice. They don't have endless lists of flavors, they don't even have a short list of flavors, only a list of combinations that they offer. I got lava flow and it was really good. I would go back!

This place is stupid good. We liked everything, but the real passion fruit and the ube option were stellar, among the best frozen treats I've ever had in my life. Don't miss it! I wish I'd skipped lunch so I had room to finish the masterpiece. The pina colada was a little on the tart side for me; the others are more balanced, so just go with your preference. Everything was airy, light, and luscious. I can't wait to go back.

Let me tell you this is the best shaved ice in Kauai! Every ingredient is natural, friendly and price is pretty good compared to how much you get! We had to stop by one last time before heading back home. Everyone there is so friendly and space is good for big family also. Sitting on the outside also. This spot is must try once or twice or why not have it everyday! Definitely going back when we visit again!

Wailua Shaved Ice is hands down the best shaved ice I've ever had--anywhere. If any other shaved ice shop tried Wailua here in Kauai, they'd have to completely rethink what they're doing. Whatever you order, get it with a foam top and a snow cap. Thank me later.

Everyone told us that Wailua Shave Ice was the best on the island so of course we had to see for ourselves! You can order at the kiosk or wait in line to order with someone at the counter. We opted to wait in line so we can get recommendations. We ordered the Lava Flow, Love Potion #9 and Da Ube One. They have cute merch for sale too. Our orders were up and the girl told me that the Ube syrup is not as thick and that if I wanted more to just ask. It was perfect for me. My favorite part was the toasted coconut topping. Yum! The shave ice is so soft and creamy. We all enjoyed ours. This for sure was our favorite out of all the shave ice spots we tried during our trip! Wailua is a must!

Honestly, this place doesn't need my review. It's popping every time we go in. As long as they keep their quality high and wait times reasonable they'll be the best shave ice in town for years to come. We went 3 times over the course of a week and never regretted our decision.

Had 2 shave ice placed marked to check out on Kauai and this was the first one tried. Unfortunately, this was not good at all... Got the lava flow and everything just tasted generic, not worth it in my book. Clean shop and convenient for the east side near hotel we stayed at, but... Ended up discovering the fantastic shave ice down in Koloa after being disappointed here. That one was worth the drive down to get. Was so sad we only got to get that one twice before end of trip. Come here if want convenience, make the drive down to Koloa for the memorable and best.

The BEST place for shave ice on Kauai. My wife and I spent a week on the island -- naturally trying every shave ice place we could find in search of THE BEST one. Wailua Shave Ice was/is THE BEST one we found one. The service was great. The staff was friendly as you would expect from any Hawaiian business. They were strong with the Aloha spirit. Plus, the location was nice because it was a sit in location unlike some other places what had outside dining only. But, let's be honest, that is never an issue when you're in Hawaii. What set Wailua apart from other places was the strong consistent flavor. The hot chocolate and rainbow were SPOT on, and the Tigers Blood flavoring was amazing. The sea foam topping -- or coconut whipped cream was **CHEF'S KISS** The only "bad" part about our experience was finding this on Day 5 of 7 on the island. We ate here twice a day to make up for our lost time. Had we found it earlier we would have gone everyday and nowhere else.

This rating is for Love Potion No. 9, as it's the only flavor I chose. DO NOT GET THIS! It has zero flavor for the ice, the strawberries are so frozen you can't even taste them and the syrup was so minimal, it couldn't fix it. The first one I got had spoiled condensed milk so they replaced it for me, but the replacement still was bland and blah. I tried several shaved ice spots in Kaua'i and this was the worst one. I would also say service is pretty brusque and rude so that is another point against this, and the line was long and slow and they make you order by machine if they get too busy to take your order so just use the machine instead of waiting in line. Try Hee Fat's General Store down the street or really any other spot instead.

Shaved ice was a must on our list. My son chose the PINA COLADA: Pineapple Juice, Coconut Milk, Roasted Coconut Flakes. Mom had DA UBE ONE: Ube & Coconut MIlk, Ube Foam, Roasted Coconut Flakes, I also ordered the same but added mochi as extra topping. Sis got the OG RAINBOW $8: *made with artificial flavors Red (strawberry), Blue (Vanilla), Yellow (banana), Snowcap, mochi. Service was perfunctory. There were tables and benches to sit and enjoy your order. Restroom was gender neutral and needed lots of care. Parking was free.

Really good shave ice here. Came here because it was highly recommended and they use natural syrups. Had the lava flow with vanilla ice cream. The ice was not as fine as I was expecting, but it was still delicious. Some of the tables were kind of dirty and sticky, but overall, it's a very neat and welcoming environment. Staff was friendly. They sell some T-shirts with their logo if you are so inclined. With all of the very positive reviews, don't hesitate to give them a try. I would most definitely come back.

So far our favorite shaved ice place on Kauai, we came twice (and more if we can) Lilikoi Shaved Ice (Passionfruit) : this one has really good texture shaved ice due to milky shavings! Next time we would ask for more Lilikoi syrup So good we came again. Got Da Mango one, with Haupia (coconut cream) foam - our favorite so far!

It's been said this is the best shave ice on the island and the lines were long! But I say no. The ice was super icy I prefer my shave ice to be a little creamier, snowier, I dunno, softer? Maybe im expecting too much. Tried the mango strawberry it was just okay. They have preset flavors for you it's not build your own but there's a couple add ons like mochi. You order at a kiosk and wait for them to prepare. Glad we tried it but wouldn't come back.

100% absolute MUST when on Kauai! How shave ice should be, shaved not snow coned. The flavors you order are the flavors you will taste as if fresh from the fruit itself and the texture is so smooth. The whipped cream on the lava flow is all coconut and the perfect topping on any flavor. Other optional toppings are mochi, ice cream, coconut shavings and more. Busy spot and opens kind of late for a high tourist location but worth the noon open wait. Pretty cool merch wall too!

Food: we got 2 flavors of the shave ice. The signature one with pineapple ice and coconut foam, and the other as a full ube. Personally I like the refreshing and light flavor of pineapple but not a big fan of the coconut foam. The Ube one with coconut flakes is pretty well balanced. Service: be prepared to que and wait a bit! Ambiance: nice and cozy

I heard this was still the best shave ice on the island, and being back after 5 years, I have to say... it still is!! The flavors are so natural and not artificial. Even though it was raining, it was still very refreshing and much needed. When we were here 5 years ago they were located in a food truck but now they're in a shop and I'm so happy to see they're still doing amazing!!

Located in the plaza right next to Subway and ABC store. What strikes as most unique for their shave ice is the haupia foam and Ube foam they have available to top. My favorite is Da Ube One. Toasted coconut flakes and we subbed and put Haupia foam on top. It was delicious. The foam gives the creaminess and cuts through to complement the Ube flavor with coconut. There's only one size offered. It's nice that the storefront has tables inside. You can eat your shave ice comfortably in AC without working that you're not sweating your butt off or the ice melting rapidly. Staff are nice and quick. Overall this is one of the favorites for me on Kauai compared to some of the other places on the island.
