Gelato: the only item I can speak on is the gelato but OH MY GOSH it was incredible. We had the salted caramel and cookies n cream. It was rich and creamy, exceeding my expectations! The base of the gelato is imported from Italy and (although I didn’t have the shaved ice) the syrups for shaved ice are house made out of fruit puree and cane sugar.

Service: We stopped in 3 mins before closing and they graciously served us with a smile. They offered samples, explanations on the different products and origin story. Service was incredible!

Atmosphere: the shop is located next to the Starbucks at the Maui Marriott Ocean Club. Easy stop on the beach walk to whalers village!

Going back once more before our trip is over!

“The very best dessert on Maui! So good we went one night and came back the next afternoon! The friendliest staff, best gelato and shave ice, and such a cute store front. A must do on the Kaanapali beach! Couldn't ask for a better addition to the Marriott and the beach path!!”

“We love Hula Scoops!!! So many different options from dole whip to shave ice to gelato! The combination menu is fantastic and we can't get enough. Not only is the shop the cutest, their customer service is amazing. Donna went over all our different options to pick from and let us sample each one we asked questions about. Just writing this review makes me want to drive down and grab some for tonight's dessert... YUM!!”

“This is the BEST gelato & shaved ice in Kaanapali…if not all of Maui!!! You have to try this place if you’re on the island!! We’ve been coming to maui forever & would go to Ono gelato…it used to be really good but as time goes on, it’s definitely not as good.

This last visit we stumbled upon this new gelato AND shaved ice place right next to Starbucks located on the beach of the Marriott. Soooooo good!!! The owner ended up being the one who helped us & said they opened just a few weeks ago. The gelato is made locally in small batches! So creamy & yummy! If you like coffee, there was 2 options cappuccino & mocha mud pie…best I’ve ever had. We also tried the macadamia nut & pistachio flavors. All amazing!

My son got the guava & peach shaved ice! What I loved about it is that the ice is SUPER fine made from filtered water & all of their flavors are real fruit purée vs artificial flavors with dyes etc…none of that here!!

Will be coming back here every time we visit & telling all of our family & friends to support this new local business! Great peeps running it! Look for the awesome Hula Girl statue holding ice cream! Very cool!
