Uncle's Shave Ice

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Island Nectar Shave Ice at Uncles of Kauai is a slice of paradise in a cup! The flavors are vibrant and refreshing, perfectly capturing the tropical essence of Kauai with every bite. The ice is finely shaved to a soft, fluffy texture that melts in your mouth, making it incredibly smooth and satisfying. Each layer of syrup is a delicious burst of tropical goodness, and the combination of natural flavors is both unique and perfectly balanced. But the real surprise is the macadamia nut ice cream hidden underneath! It’s creamy, rich, and has that delightful hint of nuttiness that takes this treat to another level. The smooth, nutty ice cream adds the perfect balance to the fruity shave ice, creating a layered taste experience that’s simply out of this world. The staff is warm and welcoming, adding to the overall island vibe. Whether you’re cooling off after a beach day or simply craving a sweet treat, this shave ice with macadamia nut ice cream is a must-try. It’s a truly unforgettable taste of Hawaii!

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!

The shave ice is AMAZING. We got the POG combo that was served on a bed of macadamia nut ice cream. All the flavors were spectacular. It was big enough for two of us to enjoy. It was very reasonably priced and there are many benches right around the store to sit and enjoy the great weather and mellow vibe of this beautiful island! I HIGHLY recommend it!

Humongous portions with creative presentations and flavorful ice creams that make this Shave Ice stand out amongst competitors. Enjoyed a POG and Strawberry & Cream one night on a Wednesday in June. The wait was about four families and less than 10 minutes. Service was fast as groups wait outside until their turn to enter and order. Will be returning to try their Japanese toast!

HUGE portion! We shared between three people. Felt like a more traditional shave ice experience than other shops that have some more interesting / unique toppings. The person working was so friendly and helpful, teaching us about how he prepares shave ice differently based on weather.

Highly recommend! They give good portion sizes and you can put ice cream with your shave ice too. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating.

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.

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.
