Local mom and pop joint that makes some of the best snow ice in the state. Very reasonable prices. I usually stay low key and get the fruit teas and Thai tea, but my friend loves the Mud Pie snow ice, seen here. Definitely recommended, especially in these economically challenging times for these small businesses. Please help spread the word and Aloha! 🤙💙

I got the pineapple basil flavor shaved ice and was blown away at how unique it was. I’m not sure if they use milk in the ice but it was shredded so finely that it felt super velvety. The pineapple basil was also an incredibly unique flavor.

Keep an eye out when you are looking for this place because it hidden away in a small little plaza but soooooo worth it. The owners are so nice and try to keep the place so clean. My wife and I love it here. Check out the portion sizes. So good! I got the watermelon-lychee frost regular sized. And she got the mango-coconut in a small. Would rate 6 stars if I could.

Tried this little hole in the wall today and was not impressed at all; Got the Mud pie.The shave ice cream tasted freezer burnt and the fruit on top was not ripe at all. The best part was the candy topping. Was definitely unique and different, unfortunately not worth a 2nd trip.

Delicious deserts. Dont have to go to Taiwan or Hong Kong.Black sesame dumplings are outstanding.

Pretty good. A different take on shave ice. Lots of toppings. A touch pricey and they were out of a few things. Would go again!

My wife and daughter are shave ice (yes, there is no d, at the end) experts. They say this mom and pop, hidden gem has the best shave ice on Oahu.

First time trying. Delicate, Light and full of flavor. Fresh mochi.Very clean family owned place

I never liked shaved ice. The artificial flavor, the artificial color, and the clumpy ice was not something I’d like to eat. But my husband and a friend convinced me to come to Frostcity. And I’m loving it. They used fresh fruits. There was no crunchy ice. It was smooth as silk. Shaved ice cream. I’ve never had anything like this. If I wasn’t leaving already, I’d come back for a different flavor. They all looked so good.

Really delicious coconut pineapple Thai basil

Always a must stop when on oahu. Mud Pie is always a must share

Absolutely delicious. The texture is like if snow was 10x finer, the mochi was perfect. Loved it.

Unlike any treat youve ever had, a cross between a snow cone and ice cream with the lightness of air! Mango and coconut flavor was best 😋

Truly Taiwanese Style 🥰 Their Taiwanese Snow Ice are delicious. The owners are kind and thoughtful. A cute shop to enjoy. While there, we enjoyed Black Currant Snow Ice, Strawberry & Lychee Snow Ice, Taro Ball Soup and Super Fruit Mix Tea. So Refreshing on a hot day. Will definitely be returning for more 😋❤️😋

Amazing! So light and refreshing! Loved it!

Incredible dessert without the massive line of the other places around the Waikiki area. A little hard to find but once we found it we couldnt have been happier we searched around Google instead of standing in those lines on the main strip.

Best Taiwanese style shave ice on the island, or on the planet! We were here at least a dozen times over the course of two months. Family owned place, the owners are very sweet, work extremely hard and you can tell they care about their customers. I wish there was a Frostcity in Los Angeles because I miss it very much!!

Never had shaved ice cream like this before! Amazing! 🤪😋😛. The flavors are endless and it’s like eating a very airy ice cream. Delicious.

I was nervous when I saw the small hidden shop but the shaved ice is fantastic

What a great place to discover for the refreshing, melt in your mouth shaved ice in town.It is not typical ice shaved ice, which you add syrup on the crystal clear water based rock ice.When the ice itself is flavored and frozen, you get different textured shaved ice. Hope you try!

Unique kind of ice cream. Very good. Go and enjoy. Try the cookie and cream.

Small mom and pop shop that makes the best snow ice around. Desert at its finest

Absolutely amazing! I cannot comprehend this wizardry! Best shave ice Ive ever had. Friendly service also. I highly recommend it!

Absolutely amazing! My sister has been searching for fluffy ice cream/shave ice this good since we visited Vegas! Very pleased with this late night discovery

This is a really nice little place to get some very unique treats!! Why more than just icecream 🍦. We tried the chocolate & strawberry combo frost and the Black sesame soup, bother where very good 👍

Nice restaurant atmosphere, pleasant staff, great food. The portion sizes are also huge. Would highly recommend.

Super delicious. Highly recommend this place. The shaved ice is refreshing and light. So good!

Ive loved this place for a long time. I thought for a long time what dessert would beat this place. Combed through a few 3 star Michelin places and nope, I would still rather have a lilikoi frost w mochi, popping bubbles, strawberry and mango. Light and totally satisfying.

This place is absolutely amazing, although it is shaved ice it truly tastes like ice cream. The flavors are fantastic and the shaved ice is so so smooth and creamy. Really recommend this place, especially tourists to Hawaii.

Cute little shop for delicious shaved cream ice flavors! I had the chocolate mint, and it was so delicious! They add sliced fruit, rainbow jelly, fruit boba, mochi, and even a white chocolate filled wafer tube! O bought the large size, but a mini is also available. They also have all kinds of mochi soups!

Best shave ice ever! Not too sweet just perfect . And owners are really nice 😊

Honestly best ice cream Ive tried in Honolulu!

OMG best shave ice. Feels like ice cream when it first enters your mouth then just melts a cloud! Amazing.

Taiwanese Tsuabing or Korean Bingsu - wonderful wonderful wonderful.

Weirdest dessert Ive ever had... So much flavor and good weirdness. Must try the Black Sesame mochi ball soup. Its such an odd thing to taste and experience, in a good way.

They use real tea in the rose oolong ice tea 10/10Best watermelon smoothie ive had 10/10The snow dessert is extremely fine and melts in your mouth instantly 10/10

Great place for dessert. Their menu items are delicious! I went here three times on my vacation. It was that good.

These past few days have been a real scorcher, Frosty city shave ice was exactly what my family and I needed to cook down. Thank you for the wonderful service, definitely be back for more

This place is a Secret Heaven for Shave Ice...the best in Oahu...its not in a touristy place, may be the locals wanted this treasure for themselves...if u r in Oahu do try this out, the flavors r so natural and home made...the flakes of the shave ice melts in a second on ur tongue and yummmm....enough said. Chocolate and Coconut combo s my fav. But they do have a lot of seasonal flavors n other desserts worth a try...

Imagine eating watered down icecream, just bland and tasteless and paying 10$ for it. Well that was Frostcity, bland tasteless icy water cream, next to unripend fruit, Mochi, and toppings. My cookies and cream tasted like frozen milk sprinkled with some stale oreos crust. I do not understand all the good reviews, you are better going to Baskins Robins and saving 5 dollars. And diffinatly Ben And Jerrys, or Coldstone Creamery, Leaps and Bounds better!

A great stop for cool and warm desserts, from soft mounds of shave ice with fresh fruit and boba bubbles to “soup desserts” - steaming hot bowls of lightly sweet “soups” such as black sesame. You’ll want to add a mochi ball or two just for fun - and bring a friend because the servings are substantial.

My daughter loooooooooooooovvvveeessss Frostcity! Like wants it to be her boyfriend and marry it kind of love! Shes 8-years old so you know this is serious and those two kids are going to make it. But seriously, my kid is obsessed with this place and anytime we are anywhere in the vicinity of Frostcity, her kid dessert radar kicks in and she is begging to come here.People wonder whats the difference between Frostcity and shave ice, but theyre completely different. Frostcity is a cross between shave ice and soft serve, and thankfully not as sweet! For the fruit flavors they use fresh fruit which somehow lessens my guilt for eating a large by myself! My daughter likes cookies and cream, but Im not a fan. I prefer lilikoi or mango because the tanginess of the fruit really adds a punch to the flavor of the ice. You can get a small or regular size, but you may as well go big because its not much more in terms of cost and the dessert is very light. Im not sure how many calories is in one of their desserts but if you ever find out please do not tell me. I dont want to know and would rather live in a world where a large Frostcity dessert is only 100 calories. Mind over matter I always say!Staff is always really nice and I love that they have lots of board games to choose from. We played a round of Candyland in which my daughter attempted to cheat 14 different times and I realized she might grow up to be a criminal mastermind. Frostcitys small shop is located on the bottom floor of a two story building, right past the intersection of University and S King Street. If you dont know where it is you can easily pass the driveway, and if youve hit the Jiffy Lube, youve gone too far! The one thing that might deter you from visiting Frostcity, like anything in Moiliili, is the parking! The lot was full on this recent visit, but supposedly there is parking in the Varsity lot. Take a little stroll to Frostcity, we think its worth it! But dont marry it, because hes spoken for, ya hear?!

Great service and even better desserts. Cant wait to come back.

This place is so cool! My family got 3 different flavors of frosts and each was delicious! I got coconut pineapple Thai basil, my husband got mango, and my son got strawberry. Its such a great refreshing treat that doesnt fill you up. Worth checking out!

Taiwanese shaved ice!! Very tasty, quality was superb, and owners were very friendly.

We just happened to be stopped at a food truck in North Shore when a gentleman joined us at the table. Started talking and shared we were headed for shaved ice later. He told us we have to stop at Frostcity. We went to our original destination but found time to swing by here. It won the battle of shaved ice hands down! Now we are headed to the airport but made one more stop before going. Dont miss this place. Passion fruit frost is....delish!!!!! Wish I could put this place in my luggage and take them back to Orlando with us!!

Amazing taste. Very special. The only thing which made me sad is the fishtank. Poor fish inside looks super sad and water evaporated almoust the half way. OWNER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POUR MORE WATER IN IT, and throw some plants in it. The rest was absolutely great experience. The girl at the register was super helpful and sweet. Great job on the service and cleanliness.

The store was warm and the wait for our order was long. Shaved ice was good.

Good shave ice place. Love the durian shave ice.

Great place with an innovative type of Ice Cream - in a Neighbourhood thats slightly away from the center.The place is run by a really friendly lady, who is helpfull and welcoming when it comes to choosing the ice cream. I had the Mango Snowice in a regular size. It was around 7 USD, but it was indeed a *very* large portion - and delicious. Never have I eaten something like this before, my world has truly been rocked.One word of caution for unassuming tourists like myself - the walk from Waikiki beach is only 30 to 45 mins by foot, so its easily reachable. However, do note that this is a very different area from the touristy paradise directly at the beach. On the way, you will pass roads with high amount of traffic, several groups of homeless people living in tents etc. This is not to say that I ever felt unsafe in the area - its just to caution to walk perhaps a little less carefree, as you might tend to do in Kalakaua Avenue.This review was part of my #AlohaLeandro series of reviews during my Hawaii trip -> search for the hashtag to find them all!

PACKED WITH FLAVOR! My familt and I shared the mango/strawberry and Chocolate/Haupia both size small. Each were so flavorful tasting exactly like their true flavors should be. The small size was perfect as 5 of us shared the 2 and it was plenty enough for us all. The mochi on this dessert is also so ono. Some of the best mochi Ive ever had. The last item on their menu I tried was the Jasmine milk tea with Boba. This milk tea packed a punch! The Jasmine was very apparent and in your face. I loved it! First timer here and Ill definitely come back. If youre indecisive of what dessert place you want to try, stop your search here. This place doesnt disappoint!

Unique desert. 5 stars for that alone! Service not bad either. Parking is a problem.

We tried the lychee/watermelon combo- Refreshing and delicious! Love the mocha and fruit toppings they include.

No kidding. This was the best dessert I have had in my life. It hit the spot after a nice warm day and evening in Oahu. Also, its worth noting that it is very reasonably priced.

All I can say is wow Ive had shaved ice in many other places but hands down this is the best and they have such a wonderful variety Ice flavors

Definitely a favorites in ice kind treats.Mask and gloves used by staff!

The frost at this place is unreal!!!! So light and pillowy in your mouth. The texture is crazy! And really big portions-the small is more than enough for two people. We got the Nutella and the peanut butter and jelly and both were super yummy. She adds boba and fresh fruit around it making it the yummiest dessert. A must go in Honolulu.

Homemade, fresh fruit-based icecream shaved and heaped high on the plate with homemade popping boba, mochi and pieces of fresh fruit… mouth-watering good. And I mean, REALLY GOOD! Actually, make that AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. We started with 3 regular sized frosts for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) and by popular demand, we got a 4th one after inhaling those 3. Highly recommend the “fancy” flavors, which are local fruit based: Thai basil/coconut/pineapple, lilikoi and mango were all hits with us. We had to go back a second time.

This is the best cold dessert I’ve ever had. I could eat this 24/7. If I could I would give it 6 stars. It’s so cool how it is frozen but melt in your mouth. The best thing ever you must try it, it so good.

Best shave ice ever. Sooooo soft

Simply put...the shaved ice was among the best we had on our 8 day trip on Oahu. Is it the best? I dont know and I certainly not the person to make that call. But I can tell you that we were happy we made the trip to Frostcity. It is easy to drive past the place since the parking lot sort of looks like a parking lot for the hotel around it. But your GPS will take you right there just make sure to slow down when it tells you you have arrived. I had raspberry and coconut shaved ice with in-house mochi, pineapple, strawberry and lychee. It was amazing!

So so so good! The softest shave ice you will ever have. This is a must if you’re in Honolulu

Best shave ice I’ve had here!

I had the Super fruit tea - excellent! Lots of easy parking too.

Owner is very friendly, boba tea and shave ice are super delicious. Reminds me of Taiwan.

Maaaan yall gotta try this place, not playing around when I say it is a unique spot. Got the Strawberry&Mango Combo Frost. Highly recommend!

Love this place! Perfect light dessert and large enough to share! Fun atmosphere and helpful employees

Best milk ice on the island. I love their seasonal flavors. Its also nice that they have board games for you to play and hangout. Always take out of town people here to enjoy and never had a bad review from them.

20 stars !! The Thai basil and MANGOOOOO GO MANGO GOOO everyone needs this

Good frost with mochi and fruit toppings

Servings were huge thought we weren’t going to able to finish but load and behold all gone!

Great flavor and lots of board games to play while you eat!

This was absolutely an experience of fun and delicious!

A quaint dessert option run by a friendly family with a multitude of flavors made from real ingredients. This place is a gem!

Very smooth and good ice.

Best mochi ever!!

Fast, friendly service. I ordered the Honeydew Boba Tea and it was exceptional! Had to order the Thai Boba Tea to go. Will definitely return when I visit the island again! Thank you!

Small, Quaint, Friendly atmosphere! Highly recommended if you love shaved/frost ice!

Best experience ever! Never have we had frost style ice cream, and so far the best meal we had on Oahu. If you visit, this is a must!

Fresh minty shave ice, amazing

Was very very good. If you want ice cream instead of shave ice, but still want an airy dessert, this is definitely the way to go.

Delightfully refreshing, delicious & different. Wide variety of flavors. Beautiful, impressive presentation.

Forsure a must try spot. Great customer service highly recommend it if your looking for a refreshing dessert 🍨

Parking is smaller than ideal, but that doesnt take away from the shaved ice! Not too sweet and not just ice...it was just the right amount of flavors. The sides around the plate included popping boba, mochi, fruit, and lychee which balanced out all the flavors. Def a must try if you are in the area.

Vietnamese style deserts and soups. Tried the oreo frosty with mochi. 😋

Wuz cool.

DELICIOUS....Excellent service!

Bettet than shave ice. Nice flavor not overwhelming and very light.

Such a cool vibe. We took the whole family, 7 people total, the youngest 8 yrs old up to this old dude. Everyone loved their choice. And the price wasnt too expensive either, we got out of there for under 40 bucks, not too bad for specialty desserts. I tried a honeydew shake thing, very yummy. Loved the board games available, we played Spot It and the other game I cant remember. We could walk there so I cant say much about parking, but there is a decent sized parking lot right in front. And its Moiliili/Pucks Alley area, so there is decent street parking opportunities within walking distance. Great experience!

This is a real shave ice discovery. The ice is so fine its like powder snow in the mountains. Pair this with the multitude of syrups and fruit and other confections and there are thousands of possible combinations. Cant wait to revisit the next time were in Honolulu. Theres a parking lot in front but its tricky to make a left turn from King Street.

The whole family enjoyed every bite. If you are visiting Hawaii like we are I highly suggest you try this. You don’t see this type of ice cream anywhere!

Super fast and very friendly service. I just got a watermelon frost and it was very good. I am assuming that it is just frozen watermelon that is shaved?? Thats what it tasted like anyway. Very fresh! It was a hot day, so this was very refreshing and yummy! I didnt love this as much as Shave ice, but it was still very good. Parking is a little tight with only a few spots, but it was ok when we got there. I enjoyed mine. 😊

Yes! This has to be THE Best shave ice place. Someone took me here. Doesnt look like any good on the outside. Doesnt look like much on the inside. But tastes wonderful. They dont just shave ice and pour some syrup on top. Instead they freeze juices and shave those (at least thats what it tastes like) and the presentation is beautiful. Again, its a casual in-out place in an uninspiring setting, but top-level shave ice.

Good light dessert, especially when its hot outside. Basically its shaved ice cream? Lots of interesting flavors and they change it up often. The lot is a little small but theres also some street parking in the surrounding area. Its a pretty quick turnover too once you order so lot empties out regularly, just gotta hope you catch it at a good time.

This stuff is good!!!

Tasty stuff

Unique, quality flavors, snow ice shop. Flavors are made from natural products, incorporated into the ice itself. Obvious high attention to their yummy offerings. The delectable desert soups are not readily found elsewhere Honolulu. Odd location, but easy to get to and often easy parking because its often the only late open shop in its mini mall near UH.

Delicious ribbon ice. I got Lychee-Mango. The space was tight, a lot of people, so the wait was kind of long for my food(but delicious!)

🔥

This quaint little establishment served a rather challenging yet satisfying shave ice selection. With playful, yet simple flavours and a wonderful assortment of board games. Frostcity truly is the place to get FROST in the CITY. Service was great, delicious!
