The Swell Shave Ice 6607 Kuhio Highway, Hanalei, HI 96746

"We went for the shave ice (which we had for dessert), but also ended up ordering the bbq pulled chicken and tuna melt sandwiches, and a smoothie bc they sounded so good. It was all absolutely delicious. The toasted bread was perfect, the chicken and tuna fresh and mouthwateringly good, and the smoothie was super thick and flavorful with tons of organic frozen fruit...oh, and the shave ice the best I have ever tasted. They use organic color and flavor. Do yourself a favor and go eat here! Yup, there's usually one person doing it all, but who cares? You're on Island Time! (and it didn't even take that long...)"

"Tucked in behind small grocery store. Delicious shaved ice, sandwiches, and smoothies. I stopped in twice in September and both times I wasn't disappointed. Yes, it's expensive and service is slow but take a chill ... sit and relax while you're waiting."

"We always stop for shave ice as often as possible when on island. This was our least favorite and the most expensive! It get it - don’t panic, it’s organic…. But it’s also really boring and lacking flavor. Definitely not enough syrup either. I really don’t get the pricing here. It’s ice- seriously… frozen water! How does it cost more than a breakfast sandwich and same as smoothies with real fruit? Pricing here makes no sense. We stopped at 6 different shave ice places and this was the most expensive and least favorite by far! Maybe their food or smoothies or bowls are great. This review is for shave ice—- pass and go somewhere else! And they charge tax on shave ice. That was a first too."

"BEST açaí bowls on the island!! the açaí is fresh and the toppings are so tasty!! i’ve had many açaí bowls on the island and none compare to these!! we make sure to come here every time we are on the island multiple times!! 5 stars, 10/10 recommend"

"Tucked behind Wahina Country Market, the swell is a small snack spot with wraps, sandwiches, and the best Smoothies on the north shore. It can be slow when they are a little backed up - but there are plenty of shady spots to rest. Once you get your baller smoothie - sit out front and let the world drift by. They have a friendly, lazy cat - and if they isn’t a reason to stop, I don’t know what is!!"
