Amazing shave ice place. The owners and staff were so cute and welcoming. They even had a small business lady in the corner selling the best homemade mochi. The shave ice was also smooth and soft. It is heavily inspired by like Japanese shave ice. Highly recommend the coffee and their strawberry milk. Overall if I'm in the area will come again!
This is one of the best shave ice places I've ever been. Soft fluffy ice. No chunks. Interesting flavors. It looks massive but the fluffy airless makes you want to keep eating. We had the strawberry milk, guava, and mango. So worth it!
Shave Ice Fact: Hawaiian shave ice is a historic, finely shaved ice dessert introduced by Japanese immigrants during Hawaii's plantation era in the early 1900s. Unlike crunchy snow cones, it uses block ice for a powdery, snow-like texture that absorbs syrup.
Randy S. told me to #KeepItKaimuki so that's what I'm going to do. You just don't question my Cycle Buddy about things, okay?
And when Nadine told me, "It's 'shave ice' with no 'D,' unless you want to be caught being a tourist," it will forever be ingrained in my memory. It's kind of like how Rod U. mentioned once not to eat oysters on months that do not contain the letter "R" and that's how I live my life now.
Shave ice! Shave ice! Shave ice!
I got the guava, mandarin orange, and lychee but my eyes were glued to Cycle Buddy Randy S's coffee and matcha duo. It was so good! I also tried twinsie Nadine's hojicha, haupia, and something else. All three shave ice creations were good but that matcha and coffee duo is the flavor combo I crave.
Great place and even better service. Chillest is the chillest place to cool off!
Amazing shave ice! The flavors are delicious and not overly sweet. They had so many great flavors - hard to choose! The people working were incredibly kind. I got strawberry milk and matcha with ice cream.
Absolutely loved that place!!! Just had two shave ices. One strawberry milk + mango and another one strawberry milk + guava. I had no idea it would be that good!!! My expectation was based on New York Italian ices. Those typically taste like a piece of ice with some red or blue colored syrup on top. Chillest shave ices taste like wholesome desserts!!! They are light, delicious and at no point they taste like frozen water. Loved it!!
