5.0 of 5 stars. We always stop here after going to the Kailua beach, which means we stop in about once a week.They don't have mochi (waah!) but I do like the snowcap or the ice cream (or both, why not?). Pay extra...

5.0 of 5 stars. I work in IT and my business "friends" recommended this place to me. At first, I thought it was some sick joke that the business plays on IT to get me to drive to the other side of the island and...

4.0 of 5 stars. I think that I spoiled myself by going to Matsumoto shave ice because nothing beats it, but if you don't compare these two then you'll really like Island Snow Hawaii. $2.75 for a cup of shave ice...

5.0 of 5 stars. I give Island Snow 5 stars for the flavors and tastes of their syrups. You can really tell that they have superior syrups compared to many other shave ice shops. I especially like their Mango, Li...

4.0 of 5 stars. This place hits the spot after a day on the beach. There are tons of flavors and the people that worked there were super nice. You have to get Island Snow when you're in Kailua! In fact, I'm going...

3.0 of 5 stars. A short walk from Kailua beach park, Island Snow Hawaii is a refreshing treat. They have tons of flavors and you get three, so go crazy! Be sure to get the "to go" size; it's easier to eat and won't...

Yummy shave ice and nice surf shop! by Jenna K. at InsiderPages

I love their shaved ice. I always get the li hing mui one or the snazzberry flavor. They have generous portions and you can get ice cream in the bottom too. I like their surf clothes too.

Yelp.com Review - by Anna L.

5.0 of 5 stars. The shave ice here is second to none (okay, maybe to Waioli, but definitely not to Matsumoto's in Haleiwa - their shave ice flavors are sickeningly sweet and taste like medicine). True, the ice is not...

3.0 of 5 stars. So, it just tasted like a snowcone for me. I'm from Texas and I didn't see a difference between a snowcone and shaved ice....I got ice cream at the bottom of mine, which was pretty cool.. but extra...

good shopping by Gina P. at InsiderPages

Island Snow in Kailua is a trendy beachwear boutique. It is a cute store on the Windward side of the island in Kailua town and the prices are not as high as the mall.

Yelp.com Review - by Charlie D.

3.0 of 5 stars. Miniscule shop that has both T-shirts (sporting local logos) and shave ice. The location makes it a great stop for Kailua Beach, but don't go out of your way for it.
