Shave Ice


























In addition to Guri Guri, another more widespread local ice cream representation of Hawaii, known as shave ice, is found throughout Maui.  Basically the Hawaiian version of the Sno-Cone, shave ice is exactly that - machine chopped ice flakes, and in the case of the kind served at Local Boy Snack Shop, paired with a scoop of ice cream at the bottom of the cup.  The entire ball is then coated in your choice of various flavorings and served with a spoon.  Refreshing, simple, and sure to bring a smile to your face.

Here's Kori shaping a Papa Nui shave ice, their largest size.  



Local Boy Snack Shop is located in Kihei in the shopping pavilion across from Kalama Park.















Hoku and Kori serving it up, thanks!
