Uncle's Shave Ice & Smoothies

"We tried a ton of shave ice on Kauai and this place is very good, well deserving of 5 stars. The ice is a great consistency and the option of fresh strawberries in the base is a nice touch."

"The shaved ice was pretty good. Conveniently located near some shops to explore or benches to just lounge and enjoy the ice. Store itself was small, but cozy and fairly clean."

"Eating the shaved ice cones was on our to-do list ever since we heard that Kauai is famous for it. We were certainly not disappointed. Their shaved ice is different from the ice cones sold in mainland US. Their ice is a lot more fluffy and airy and their syrups are a lot less sticky and sweet. The overall experience was unique and fantastic. They also put a layer of macadamia nuts at the bottom which gives the sense of evolving flavors as you dig deeper. The cones are large and difficult for one person to complete. I shared mine with my son and we were struggling to finish it despite the great taste and experience. One interesting thing I noted was that the snow was at a temperature where it would not give you brain freeze even if you took large scoops. Having experienced brain freeze in the past I had approached this with some trepidation first but was pleasantly surprised that they were at just the right level of coldness. The server at the shop was really warm and friendly. He gave us some insight into the shop and recommended the most popular flavors which turned out to be great. Recommend!"

"We were looking for shaved ice and this place was very close to our hotel. It was good but there were only two choices of ice cream. The place we used to go to that is all ashes now across the street from the banyan tree in Lahaina was awesome in that they had multiple choices of local ice cream to choose from. The portions at uncles are large so look at sharing. If you are more into the ice cream bottom like we are, I would go some place else."
