Great place! Knowledgeable about gluten safety, only thing of risk is granola - so avoid that and mention Celiac disease so they can avoid cross contamination. We tried Love Potion #9, Strawberry Mango, and Lava Flow - all delicious! Lava Flow definitely captured the Hawaiian spirit! Kids want to go right back!

Unique flavors made with real (non gluten) ingredients. The only one they were unsure of was the rainbow flavor, as it is not made in house.

I tried strawberry guava and dragons blood and they were both good, no reaction.

Very good and fresh shave ice! When asked about whether different items were gf, they were very unsure but said that they thought everything besides the “traditional” would be gf because that one is more artificial and all others were made with fresh juice. I decided to go for it since I saw so many good reviews and felt totally fine afterwards!

Delicious & safe shave ice! No artificial taste. Sold out of a cute food truck, with friendly workers too. I had the Lava Flow and it was delish, especially with the Haupia foam on top!

I loved it because its nothing artficial like the usual shave ice (with all different kinds of dyes) they used real juice and coconut milk. my daughter who has celiac liked the ones with pineapple juice since she's not crazy about coconut like me and my other daughter. staffs seemed to be knowledgeable when i asked questions about gluten. she has no reactions from the shave ice. we already went there twice and will go one more time before we fly home.

Fabulous and the best shaved ice ever. Just about everything was gluten free. They warned against the coconut shavings because processed on equipment that processes gluten.

Really nice variety of fresh fruity flavors. The whipped coconut cream is so fluffy and delish. Almost everything in the menu was gluten free and the servers were helpful. My daughter (w/celiac) went there twice with no problems.

This place is amazing! Unlike all the other shaved ice places nearby, they use fresh fruit juices. All the juices were gf as well as the toppings and such. Ask if you think one of the special flavors isn't gf, they'll tell you.
