Wailua Shave Ice
4-831 Kuhio Hwy, Kapaa, HI
Crema's Take
“Wailua's obsessively fine, silky shave ice puts every other spot on Kauai to shame—the texture is genuinely superior, with flavors like Almond Joy that people drive hours out of their way to revisit. The staff greets you with genuine warmth, portions are generous for the price, and you can either linger at outdoor seating or grab it to go. Skip the rougher, chunkier competitors and come here instead.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Family friendly.
