"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

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
