About Us
Homemade Premium Ice Cream and Authentic Hawaiian Shave Ice.
Hand-scooped, hand-crafted and served with aloha, daily!
Some Background
Sweet Aloha Ice Cream has its roots in the owner's Huntington Beach-based Haole Boys Shave Ice, a business launched as a mobile catering business and food truck in 2014. Since then, the shave ice business has served the Southern California market from Los Angeles to San Diego Counties. Voted as one of top food trucks in Orange County, twice, Haole Boys Shave Ice is recognized as one of the top shave ice brands in SoCal. The Haole Boys Shave Ice brand has supported thousands of private and corporate events and dozens of charities over the years and has numerous celebrity and corporate clients, including major sports franchises.
​
Fast forward, the owners relocated to South Florida in 2021 leaving the Haole Boys Shave Ice food truck to be managed by a few loyal and dedicated employees giving them the time to focus on developing their first ice cream recipes and, later, the Sweet Aloha Ice Cream brand. What started with just a vanilla base and general ingredients, the owners developed their first three recipes, Vanilla, Chocolate and Mint Chocolate Chip. After peddling test batches to neighbors and hosting a driveway shave ice party, the feedback was overwhelmingly supportive. The couple knew the next step was to open an ice cream and shave ice shop.
​
Opening in August, 2021, Sweet Aloha Ice Cream is a family- and veteran-owned small business offering traditional- and tropical-flavored dairy and non-dairy ice cream, milk shakes and sundaes, authentic Hawaiian shave ice, tropical fruit drinks and other Hawaiian treats. Sweet Aloha Ice Cream uses our own homemade recipes using wholesome and all-natural ingredients, whenever possible, to make small batch recipes in-house. Every batch is made and served with aloha!
Our Culture
Sweet Aloha Ice Cream is more than just an ice cream store concept. Yes, we serve hand-scooped hard ice cream. However, the ice cream is only one product or revenue stream. The main concept of the store is to merge a tropical flavor concept with island appeal and the “spirit of aloha” with our mainland customers, aka ohana (family), and friends. While our ice cream product is incredibly onolicious (delicious in Hawaiian terms), it is more important we embody the “aloha spirit” than simply sell amazing ice cream.
