Local Boys Shave Ice

Oh my goodness — Local Boys will change your life. This is truly a flavor bomb. I asked the employee for her recommendation and it was a game changer! I had the Snow White with Mud Pie ice cream. I know, it’s an unlikely combination but somehow it worked. And it was the best snack of my life. My family had to stop me from going right back in and ordering another. Don’t you dare come to Maui without going here.

Came back to this location 3 days in a row on my 7 day stay. LOL!!! YUM! I got the snow white, some mix of blue coconut with pineapple, etc. But always with coconut ice cream on the bottom and cream on top. Staff was super friendly and service was fast!

My fiancé loved the shaved ice, but I am neither here nor there. I’m a huge fan of ice cream, like its my favorite dessert and if you’ve never tried frozen custard than you’re truly missing out.
The nice thing about shaved ice is that it’s refreshing when it’s really hot out and they add a little scoop of ice cream for the last few bites.
When my fiancé and I weren’t sharing, I liked mine better. I opt to get it either with no cream at all or very little cream. The cream that they put on top melts the ice and ends up making everything too watery for my liking. They give you a straw for this purpose, but I still prefer not to drink mine.
They have a TON of flavors to choose from. You can choose any flavor pairing that you’d like. They also have different flavor combinations they they’ve come up with. We always chose Mango and Guava with coconut ice cream on the bottom. We didn’t stray from this, but I think the next time we’re on Maui or anywhere in Hawaii, I think we’ll venture out. Looking through all the flavor options was too overwhelming, so I went with what I already knew I liked.
Portions are big. The medium one, which I believe they referred to as «big baby» is more than enough for two people, which is why we typically shared. This one cost $ 5.50, not including tip. I don’t think we’d ever finish a large.
Staff have always been genuinely friendly. Go here if you want a refreshing dessert!

We wanted to get away from the deliciousness of ululanis so we decided to stop here. The girl there was pretty friendly and our shave ice came out quickly.
I liked that she gave lots of ice cream. I got a big baby and my boyfriend got the Ohana bowl. The ice wasn’t the best quality as it melted very quickly and formed ice chucks that made eating it awkward. Other than that the flavors were great especially the tsunami! Ice cream and cream are included so that definitely upped the quality a bit!
I would definitely come back here. Over ululanis definitely not, but I do think they make quality shave ice and deserve a fair try! The location isn’t prime as the counter is on the side and it could get crowded fast, but it was fine when we went at 1130!

We went to 3 – 4 different places whilst on the big island and Maui and this place was by far, THE BEST. Get there early before they start to close or you may miss out or run out of things.
The coconut ice cream and sweet cream topping is an absolute MUST. This place was easily on our top 10 places that we must go while on Maui as it was the standard to which we hold all other Hawaiian shaved ice.
