Clayboy's Shave Ice, located in Bethesda, MD, is a beloved DIY shave ice business founded in 1991 by Scott Styer, who was inspired by his experiences in Hawaii. Now owned by Bill and Dan McKinnon, who grew up enjoying the iconic shave ice, the company remains dedicated to crafting traditional Hawaiian-style shave ice using filtered water and cane sugar syrups while offering affordable pricing for their community.

With a menu boasting 15 flavors and a commitment to quality, Clayboy's uses a specialized Taiwanese ice planer to create a soft and flavorful dessert that absorbs syrups effectively. In addition to serving at their original location, they provide catering services for private events and large public gatherings, continuing their mission of spreading the joy of shave ice throughout the DMV area.
