Testimonials

I have had the pleasure of using Paradise Shave Ice for a number of occasions over the past several years whenever we have kids events. If I tell my family we are going to throw a party the first thing my little ones ask is “will we have snow cones!” The team at Paradise is friendly, professional and fun. They make any kids event more fun and I am only surprised by the consistent number of adults that share in the icy treat. I cannot endorse them more completely.

Paradise Shave Ice has been at our carnival since the beginning and is a crowd-pleaser year after year. They are always on time, have a permanent smile on their faces, and are an absolute joy to work with.

I wanted to thank you very much for being able to come through for us on a last minute notice to vendor our event. I appreciated your warm smiles and upbeat personality and truly look forward to being able to work with you in the near future.

Cory Fremont, CA

We hired Paradise for a backyard graduation party. They were prompt, polite, friendly, and the guests raved about their shave ice. I’d recommend them wholeheartedly and would definitely hire them again!

I hired Paradise Shave Ice for an event at Stanford University. They were incredibly easy to work with, very communicative, and reasonably priced. They arrived on time, set up without much direction from me at all (I had my hands full with the other vendors for the event) and soon had a line of happy guests forming for their delicious shave ice. It was the perfect treat for our luau at an outdoor venue on campus on a very warm afternoon in June. Would definitely hire them again.

About Us

For generations, our family has been connected to the Hawaiian Islands. In the 1950s, Hawai’i was a place for semi-professional sports for the eldest member of our family. Since then, the islands have been the birthplace and home for several years for others in our family. Although most of our family has moved to the mainland to pursue opportunities, all of us agree that a part of our hearts will always remain in Hawai’i.

There’s just something magical about the blend of tropical vibes and the simple way of life that melts all your worries away and ushers in peace. Maybe it’s the Aloha Spirit that envelops you the moment you land on the islands, a feeling so profound, it’s unforgettable. Coupled with our family’s passion for shave ice, this spirit is exactly what we’ve always dreamt of sharing with the mainland.

Paradise Shave Ice was born from this dream, rooted in a family tradition back in 1985 when we brought our very first shave ice machine into one of our Double Rainbow Ice Cream shops. It wasn’t long before we expanded, bringing our delectable frozen delights to fairs and festivals throughout the Bay Area. Fast-forward a few decades, and here we are, still dedicated to offering that same incredible taste experience to you.
