Bears Shaved Ice

We got here at 8:30 pm and the place was deserted. Probably because they close at 9pm. Poor guy waiting in the truck by himself.
He was very nice and informative. We asked what the difference between regular shaved ice and Hawaiian snow and he says that it’s really the sauce that go on top of the ice. He states it’s more milky. We don’t know if that’s true but there you go :)
We got the guava flavor and I don’t really taste the huge difference between shaved ice and Hawaiian snow. The difference was the how fine the ice was shaved compared to regular shaved ice.
I bet the atmosphere here is pretty laid back and fun if there are other people around. Owner was creative with the holes on the table where your container of Hawaiian ice can sit in while you devour it. ;)
It’s really not bad at all, so I would recommend it on a really hot day.

We really like this place because it is walking distance from our house. He had tons of flavors! You can even get ice cream on the bottom. Portions are huge and price is decent… consistent with the area. Three of us share a small and that is good! Everyone that works there is super nice all the time. Nice little business he has going on over there. Never very crowded.

This is a based on a visit I made over the summer, I doubt the truck is up now that it is November. I almost didn’t leave this review because the owner is so nice but I didn’t want anyone to waste their money on this place. I lived in Hawaii for many years and have tried all varieties of shaved ice but this was bad, really bad. He does offer more authentic options in his shaved ice such as ice cream, I was really pleased to see that and frankly is why I gave him 2 stars. But I think the problem was the syrup. Neither myself nor my daughter could finish our ice, we threw it out.

Super excellent. Great view and great owner. I love the Hawaiian ice and all the flavors are delish! The owner comes out and chats w you and offers u flavors he’s trying. I hope he’s around for a long time.

Bears Shaved Ice is a treat. Not only is the owner super friendly, but he has done a great job of making the area around his truck attractive and easy to eat his ices by installing picnic tables with special holders cut in them.
As for the ice, I really like it. Watermelon is my favorite.

It’s good!
Little different than normal as they also offer Hawaiian snow on top and ice cream on the bottom.
Quick and friendly.
$ 3.25 for a small
$ 4 for a large
$ 1 ice cream on bottom
$.50 Hawaiian snow (sweetened condensed milk)
Seems a little pricey for a very lightweight servicing of ice and sugar water. I haven’t compared prices, though, to see what other stands charge.
Such a good use of an otherwise empty lot.
