Top 10 Places For Shave Ice In Maui

The greatest thing about walking into an Ululani’s shave ice spot is knowing that you’re about to experience one of the most fantastic shave ice ventures in the world! Ululani’s offers over 45 flavors and some pretty awesome combination choices. Favorite flavors include tamarind, matcha green tea, pickled mango, lychee, and Thai tea. If you’re looking to taste a combo, guests can pick from an array of choices. Our favorites are the No Ka Oi (coconut, mango, and lilikoi) and Local Motion (mango, Li hing mui, pineapple and topped with Li hing mui powder). More toppings include Roselani Maui-made ice cream, hand-cut mochi, Azuki beans, and shredded coconut.

Surfing Monkey offers a variety of flavors including all-natural (no artificial colors or flavors) choices like pomegranate, banana, lemonade, coconut, lychee, and Kona coffee. They also have a pretty good selection of typical shave ice flavors like orange dreamsicle, cotton candy, and pink bubble gum. Add-ons include the usual toppings like ice cream, sweet cream, Azuki beans, and Li hing mui powder, but Surfing Monkey also has chocolate syrup!

What kind of Surfing Monkey shave ice will you order?

While heading on the Hana Highway, Tobi’s is an excellent spot for lunch and an afternoon treat. Parking is in the back of the location, and they have this superb mist machine that lightly sprays above the outdoor seating area highlighting the cooling down effect. Excellent North Shore vibes, ono grinds, and friendly local service are all top qualities of Tobi’s in Paia. When at Tobi’s, make sure to look at the ‘Specials’ board to see what’s new and fresh. On any day of the week, you’ll find shave ice, fresh ahi poke, seared ahi plates, shoyu chicken, hot dogs, chili dogs, acai bowls, coffee, espresso drinks and so much more.

Don’t forget to pick up some Maui souvenirs like a cool and customized ESKYFlavor hat – this is one of the best spots to find a massive selection of Maui’s famous trucker hats.

We love everything about Rustbuckets so much! Not only does this spot fully emanate Maui’s best vibes and local service, but guess what else? They serve incredibly mouth-watering shave ice in a ti-leaf cone with a bamboo straw and a bamboo spoon. No plastic= no waste! Amazing.

At Rustbuckets, their shave ice flavors are all-natural and homemade. They use organic cane sugar, water, and fruit- that’s it! No yucky stuff here. The fruit is all local with flavors like guava, lime, orange, banana, mango, grapefruit, ginger, blueberry, watermelon, and strawberry. Hibiscus is one of the most popular flavors, and they always have a tasty selection of seasonal fruits. This place is the real deal!

So, what’s so cool about Gus’ Shave Ice? Well, Gus is a Volkswagen bus! Their menu is slightly limited in size, but not in offerings. Here, you can choose from a small Keiki shave ice, Da Bruddah (size large and comes with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream), and refreshing ice cream drinks (combo of ice cream and shave ice blended). One more fantastic thing about Gus’ is that they only serve locally made and 100% sugar cane syrups. Here, you can enjoy the flavor of the islands and check out a pretty awesome vintage VW.

Rave reviews are in total abundance for the crew at Peace, Love Shave Ice. Just check Yelp and TripAdvisor and you’ll see how much residents and visitors love this Maui shave ice spot! When chillin’ out with the peace-love crew, expect an experience full of tasty concoctions, laughter and family fun. These guys made the big boy list for so many reasons including their use of 100% natural (no dyes) shave ice syrups. All syrups are made with Raw Maui Cane Sugar Syrup and they even have sugar-free options.

Order a Peace Love Shave Ice and choose three syrups from a long list of traditional and natural (gluten-free) choices like guava, passionfruit, pineapple, green apple, root beer, melona, cotton candy, Li hing mui and more.

Maui Shave Ice options at Beach Street come in size small, medium or large. Shave Ice lovers can order house favorites or build their own. Popular choices include the Hawaii Rainbow, Kihei Sunset, Hula Girl, Happy Honu, Pink Plumeria, and the Pacific Islander. We love the Irie Rasta, which has strawberry, banana, and Melona flavors. It’s also served with ice cream and haupia (sweet coconut cream). Yum! Beach Street has over 30 shave ice flavors, and they even have sugar-free options like vanilla, raspberry, and coconut. We love their tasty shave ice toppings like the haupia, snowcap, chocolate, caramel, whip cream, and li hing mui powder. More add-ons include bottoms like vanilla ice cream, gummy bears, mochi balls, and sweet Japanese azuki beans. If you’re looking for a healthy morning meal or a snack during the day, Beach Street also has breakfast and an all-day menu. Breakfast is available until 11 am and includes breakfast sandwiches, bagels, and Belgian waffles. The all-day menu is short and sweet with a papaya boat, tropical fruit parfait, and yummy acai bowls.
