Island Cream Co - Maui, Hawaii

#3 Island Cream Co

  • Website Menu/Flavors: Island Cream Co

  • Value: Large scoops for under $10

Shave Ice

#6 Shave Ice

A Hawaii classic! There are plenty of places to get shave ice and even food trucks on the side of the road have them! Make sure you get ice cream in the bottom, I love a good macadamia nut ice cream at the bottom of shaved ice with pineapple and coconut on top!

Favorite:

Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice (multiple locations) - 790 Front St, Lahaina, HI 96761


CHocolate Cream Pie at Monkeypod Kitchen

#7 Pie at Monkeypod Kitchen

I normally go for ice cream any chance I can get, but the Chocolate Cream Pie at Monkeypod is pretty phenomenal. Want something other than chocolate? Try their Strawberry, Banana, or Coconut Cream pies!

You can also try their Tropical Dreams Gelato & Sorbet for $7.95 with options of Tahitian vanilla, chocolate, island-hop Kona coffee, or featured flavor sorbet.
