Peace Love Shave Ice 2

I know some people rave about Ululani's, but I'm a Peace Love Shave Ice girl all the way — and so it my mom. Let me tell you why. The texture of the ice is good. It's fine enough that it melts instantly in your mouth, and coarse enough (though I'd by no means call it coarse) to have some kind of texture, unlike a slushee for example. We all know the ice is super nice important, and I can say I've never been let down here. Second is the flavours. There's a large selection of natural flavours (a must for me and my kids, especially because there are no dyes) and each flavour has a distinct profile. If you get guava, pineapple and watermelon, you'll know which flarour you're eating every time you take a bite. I, for one, want that. I don't want them to be nondescript (which is how my mom and I felt at Ululani's Tbh). There are also interesting homemade flavours, like Thai Tea (which is delicious). Last, but not least, the woman who owns it is great. She's super friendly and helpful if you need a tip on what to get. Her son used to have a second location in Kihei, and I'd definitely say the same for him as well. He's now up north I think, so if you're there, look it up. The wait time is basically nothing, and the experience is delicious from start to finish. Save yourself the time and come here instead of the place TikTok recommends. We've tried so many through the years, and this is just legit good, every time.

One of the highlights of our trips. We were Local Boys fans and sad to see it go, but we were so happy to meet Allison and discover our new favorite Maui Shaved Ice spot at Peace Love Shave Ice. The first thing she does is down-sell my kid from a large to a regular! "Have you seen our large, honey?" She advised us on proper flavor combos, "Oh no, that won't work, you've got to think about them all being mixed at the end." She even let my oldest borrow a sweater when she was cold. We fed a fam of about 14 that day, and Allison handled it with grace and style. Ice cream + shaved ice + sweet cream + flavor and a lovely human running the shop. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Allison is fantastic and puts so much love into her craft. The Thai tea is phenomenal and had my husband and me hooked. Peace, Love, and Shave Ice will be our first stop when we make it back to Maui.
