We absolutely had to try the shaved ice, and it was the best we've ever had!

The location, combined with the Hawaiian music playing, really sets the vibe. They have an impressive selection of syrups, and adding soft serve in the middle is a game changer. What you see in the picture is the SMALL size!

We had the smallest size and got it with vanilla ice cream in the bottom, which was an amazing yummy surprise when it came to the shaved ice melting down.The only downside was the service.

I left without purchasing anything as I was so hurt to see something so serious made fun of. It is clear this establishment doesn’t care about domestic violence as an issue and would rather make a profit off of trivializing others pain. When I spoke to them about this they dismissed me and said they change the prompts every couple of days and to check back then. As someone who works in gender based violence I will make sure to tell everyone I know to steer CLEAR of this business.
