Had the Frother and it was excellent! Haven’t really tried a more rich and chocolate shaved ice before (more used to fruity and mochi), and it didn’t disappoint! Also the staff was super helpful and did not pressure you.

Friendly service and maybe we got a “bad one”. But our mango / pineapple shaved ice was mediocre at best. Not much pineapple syrup and the ice was more snow cone like. We’ve had better on the island. Didn’t finish which is a bold statement. That said, they were friendly.

Having tried several shaved ice places in this trip to Kauai, this has been the best so far. I had a tigers blood & mango shaved ice with a scoop of vanilla Ice Cream. It was amazing and hit the spot. The employee helping us was super friendly as well! Would recommend to anyone looking for good shaved

One of our favorite shaved ice spots on the island! Quick service and friendly people! Highly recommend the Kīlauea Lighthouse!!Kid-friendliness: There is a kid sized option - the first I have seen at a shaved ice truck!

Best shave ice in Kilauea! Very awesome workers, very helpful with what is the best thing to choose.Such delicious ice cream sundaes/nachos. The deluxe menu is my favorite, it includes some of the best shave ice flavors and toppings all in one.

Wow! Infinite choices of shave ice. Be sure you call it SHAVE and not shaved LOL Nice little family owned place, sure to cool you off while satisfying your sweet tooth.

This is a great shave ice stand inside the Kong Lung marketplace. I liked it that you can choose organic flavors that they made from real fruit. The shave ice ball is huge! I chose mango, lilikoi and guava. Very refreshing in the warm weather.

Went to so many shaved ice places in Kauai and this one tops the list by far. We got the Hapa which has vanilla ice cream, mochi, strawberry and lilikoi syrup. Usually it comes with strawberry but they were out and substituted with pineapples. The whole thing was topped with a coconut fluff which is like a dense whipped cream.Ice consistency was good, the coloring wasn’t creepy and fake, the fluff was special and the mochi was nice and chewy (and not hard and frozen as most mochi in ice cream can become.)It does take some time to make so patience is a virtue. But as the sign up front says, “We’re worth the wait!!”

I really like having a shave ice place in Kilauea, so that definitely hits the spot. It's pretty good as well - many flavors to choose from and tasty toppings as well. A little suggestion for the owner(s): I would definitely have a cutout picture of shave ice next to the truck or attached down below as most kids would pass by not knowing this is a shave ice place. I think you'd get much more business that way.
This was the absolute best shave ice we had on Kauai! The macadamia nut ice cream was also absolutely phenomenal. The food truck is tucked amongst some really cute shops which made for a wonderful stop on our way back from the Kilauea lighthouse. A must do!

I'm not very particular when it comes to shave ice. But, I do know what shave ice is and that's what I want when I'm on Kauai. Hapa's is more like a snow cone consistency, definitely not the fluffy lite snow that it should be. $7 for a regular with choice of up to three flavors is nice. $2 to add ice cream fair enough. The special selections at $11 and/or the organic syrups that add $2 seems a little much. Try a $7 regular and see what you think. If you want to go all out then I'd look elsewhere for the traditional shave ice consistency.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking at the Kung Long center. Access is fairly flat and smooth getting into the open courtyard where Hapas is located.

It's crushed ice not shave ice! They forgot our topping and we had to go back and get it. They got the flavors wrong. Their cups are so flimsy our shave ice toppled. We salvaged most of it since it was solid!

Stopped on the way back after a hike. Delicious, quick, and nice staff! Cute little truck tucked in the back of multiple stores.
