Scandinavian Shave Ice, affectionately referred to as Scandi's by locals, has been a beloved Kona landmark since 1991, situated at the heart of Kailua Village. Famed for serving what many deem the best shave ice in Hawaii, they offer generous portions with the fluffy consistency of freshly fallen snow, distinguishing it from traditional snow cones or slushies.

Customers can indulge in a unique treat featuring a center of ice cream or frozen yogurt, complemented by a choice of three out of 65 flavors, all crowned with a sweet snow cap of condensed milk or coconut cream. With a commitment to reasonable prices, Scandi's remains a popular destination for both tourists and locals seeking the perfect shave ice experience.
