Kula Shave Ice North Shore

Kula Shave Ice originated in Hilo but opened another location on Oahu’s North Shore (57-146 Kamehameha Hwy.). The biz features flavors made from organically grown or locally sourced fruit, organic cane sugar and ultra-filtered water.

“While most other shave ice syrup is highly processed with corn syrup, artificial flavors, dyes, preservatives and no actual fruit, Kula’s is not,” says Delys Okuyama, owner and operator of Kula Shave Ice North Shore. “We filter and freeze our ice with pure water, giving us the ability to control the quality. We also make most of our toppings.”

Choose from delicious creations like The Kula Rainbow (mango, blueberry and strawberry shave ice filled with organic vanilla ice cream), The Coconutty (coconut shave ice filled with macadamia nut ice cream topped with haupia cream, coconut condensed milk and a coconut wafer) and Tropical Vibes (mango and lilikoi shave ice topped with coconut condensed milk).
