Wishing Well Shave Ice
5-5080 Kuhio Hwy, Hanalei, HI
Crema's Take
“This beloved Hanalei institution elevates shave ice into an art form with pristine ice texture, organic fruit flavors, and thoughtful additions like macadamia nut and coconut cream ice cream that balance sweetness with real flavor depth. The generous portions and laid-back North Shore vibe make it perfect for lingering over a bowl with family or friends, though arrive early to beat the loyal crowds who return again and again for signatures like the Tropical Bliss. Visitors consistently praise the quality of their creations—where even unexpected flavor combinations like coconut cream turn out surprisingly sophisticated rather than cloying.”

SOOOO GOOD!!! we made our own with the organic fruit flavors coconut and mango w coconut cream and vanilla ice cream. we expected the coconut cream to be sweet and it wasn’t, but still very good! definitely would recommend coming here!!!!
Our favourite shave ice out of our whole trip! Perfect ice consistency, great natural flavours, good ice cream underneath. Went 3 times- unfortunately the girls working weren’t the friendliest.
Popular spot. Always a bit a of a wait. Good flavor choices. Plenty of seating. Large portions so you can definitely share.
So good! We shared the Tropical Bliss that contained organic fruit flavors with Mac nut ice cream on the bottom. It was delicious! I would definitely get this flavor again from this location if we ever come back to Kauai.
We ordered the Tropical Bliss and the Hanalei Sweetie. Both bowls had the right amount of sweetness and were delicious. We will definitely stop by again when we visit the island again.
