Little Foodies

Paradise Ice in Milford offers authentic Hawaiian shave ice, complete with layers of vanilla ice cream, perfectly shaved ice and a sweetened condensed milk “snow cap.” Our family never knew there was a difference between traditional shaved ice and authentic Hawaiian ice, so we were absolutely delighted when Paradise Ice hit our radar.

Sizes range from Keiki (Hawaiian for child) up to the Big Kahuna. Start with your size and select up to three flavors, or try a delicious tropical combo created by the Hawaiian ice masterminds themselves. Finish up with your choice of the Hawaiian Way (ice cream and snow cap) or simply stick with shaved ice only.

What sets Paradise Ice apart are the many delicious, diverse flavor options and combos. Papaya, lychee, melona, passionfruit, guava, white chocolate macadamia, coconut and li hing mui (sweet plum) are just some of the Hawaiian flavors. Mainland flavors include your traditional watermelon, cherry, root beer and 30 more options.

Sugar free flavors and add-ons like sour plum powder, mochi bits, azuki sweet beans and gummy bears are available for an extra fee. Try a popular combo like the Kona: mango, pineapple and li hing mui, or the Waikiki: watermelon and pink lemonade.

Take your ice to-go or bring the whole family for a treat under the tall, orange umbrellas. With soft Hawaiian music in the background and almost always a slight breeze, you just might be able to close your eyes and picture your favorite island on the horizon.
