The Scoop on the Best Shave Ice in Florida!

Authentic Hawaiian shave ice from Sweet Aloha Ice Cream, named Best Shave Ice in Florida by Yelp.

Hey Sweet Aloha ‘ohana,

We have some incredibly joyous news to share. We are absolutely thrilled to announce it!  In fact, Yelp and its community of Elite reviewers officially named Sweet Aloha Ice Cream the “Best Shaved Ice in Florida”!


A Sweet Victory!

First and foremost, this award is more than just a win. It’s a celebration of our passion. We are dedicated to bringing a true taste of Hawai’i to the Sunshine State. Therefore, we want to give a massive, heartfelt Mahalo (thank you)! This is for all of you who have shared your love for our shave ice.

In addition, for those who might not know, the Yelp Elite program features the most active and trustworthy reviewers on the platform. Consequently, their recognition means the world to us. It confirms what we’ve always believed: our authentic Hawaiian shave ice is simply the best.


Why Our Shave Ice Wins!

On one hand, it’s all about the small details. While others might serve a crunchy snow cone, we, on the other hand, take pride in our perfect, pillowy-soft shave ice. It melts in your mouth! We use a special machine for a delicate, snow-like texture. It really absorbs the flavor. Then, we add our unique, handcrafted syrups and authentic ingredients. We use things like sweet cream and sweetened condensed milk.

Ultimately, our commitment to quality is our main priority. In short, every single creation gives you a little piece of paradise. This is what helped us earn this award.


Come Celebrate with Us!

Whether you’re a long-time fan or a new friend, there’s never been a better time to visit. We’d love for you to celebrate with us. Come experience the difference for yourself. Find your nearest Sweet Aloha Ice Cream location here. Let us serve you a taste of aloha.

Mahalo again for your support! We can’t wait to see you soon.
