Clint and Stefani Severson, the owners of the first Hokulia Shave Ice shack, love to visit the Hawaiian Islands. They especially love Kona-The Big Island. In 2008 they went to Kona together and while sitting on the beach eating some awesome Shave Ice they decided that they needed some “Island Love” back home. They came home to Utah and realized their dream by opening the first Hokulia Shave Ice Shack. Their customers loved it! Hokulia shave ice tastes so good because we literally shave the ice. It is not ground and gritty, but smooth and refreshing. Because it is shaved, the ice has a light and fluffy texture. It is so smooth that it melts in your mouth. Our syrups are made from 100% pure cane sugar and each shave ice is topped with rich flavors that are imported from Hawaii. The perfect shave ice has our premium Farr’s Ice Cream in the center and is topped with creamy sweetened condensed milk. Our shave ice is so good you will think you are on the Islands enjoying a “taste of Hawaii.”
