Ululani’s Hawaiian Shave Ice

Best for: Dessert + family stop
Time needed: 30–45 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Worth it? Yes

Ululani’s came highly recommended—and it absolutely lived up to it.

But this isn’t a quick, quiet stop.

It’s a full scene.

What It’s Like

From the moment you pull in, you can tell this place is popular.

• there’s a line when you walk up

• there’s a line after you order

• tables are mostly full

• chickens are walking around like they belong there

It feels busy—but not in a bad way. More like everyone’s in on the same thing.

And to their credit, the line moves pretty efficiently.

What We Ordered

We tried a few different options:

• Lava Flow

• mango-based combinations

• a few mixed flavor setups

But the one that clearly stood out was:

Haleakalā (leche + coconut + snow cap)

That was the one everyone kept going back to.

The texture is lighter than you expect, and the flavors come through clean—not overly heavy or artificial.

Parking

Parking can be a little tight right out front.

• limited spots in the main area

• more availability in the back if you loop around

It’s worth checking both before giving up on it.

Final Take

This isn’t just a quick dessert stop—it’s something you plan a little time around.

Between the line, the seating, and just hanging out for a bit, it becomes part of the experience.

And it’s one of those places that lives up to the hype.
