Anuenue Ice Cream & Shave Ice

Located in Kawaihae, Anuenue Ice Cream & Shave Ice have been serving up great, flavorful frozen treats for many years. Their ice cream is of high quality with many flavors offered. It is a bit pricey. Their shaved ice comes in a plastic cone. It is a generous combination of ice and syrups, which come in many tasty flavors. The staff were very friendly. Definitely hits the spot on a hot day. Cool out at Anuenue IceCream and Shaved Ice shop. You won’t be disappointed.

This place is open until 6 p.m. on the days it operates, which is great because many shave ice shops tend to close earlier, so we were happy to be able to stop by even after coming back from the beach. We arrived a little after 5 p.m., and there were already two groups in line, which shows how popular it is. The shop only accepts cash, so it’s important to keep that in mind when visiting. Although it has a storefront, the setup is similar to a food truck—there is no indoor seating, and only two benches outside. I personally prefer natural flavors, but this shop only offers lychee as a natural option. We had two medium shave ices. My husband had the rainbow, and I had one with three flavors: watermelon, lychee, and strawberry, topped with a scoop of coffee-flavored ice cream. Both had so

We used to visit this shave ice stand on the Big Island often when we visited with the kids. It's been some time but my husband and I (kids are grown, we were solo 😊) had to go back based on our fond memories. The service - absolutely terrific! Greeted us with enthusiasm with the aloha spirit.. the shave ice...was very icy, more like a snow-cone vs. a shave ice. The ice cream was very yummy lilikoi cheesecake...oh yes). We've experienced Ululani's many times on Maui prior to the fires and also Motsumoto's on Oahu and I guess that's what we use as the benchmark. We will go back - absolutely. Support local especially in a less tourist area.

Thirteen of us arrived at 5:00pm and ordered ice cream and shave ice. The ice cream is home made and tastes great! Since the place closes at 6pm we had to make sure we had plenty of time to order and eat!

This place was great. Saw a line forming to try this place so we jumped in. Wait was not bad, the gentleman working was pretty quick. There were a few different flavors I saw but didn't know what they tasted like, such as LiHing Mui (fermented plum) was actually really good and Ube flavored Ice Cream (Sweet potato) also yummy. He gave us a sample of both. The portion is good and the price was reasonable. He definitely was not frugal with the syrup. He also was very friendly. I would recommend stopping here and giving it a try. If you read this review, please hit the like button. Thank you! NOTE: They also have sugar- free options.
