After a 2015 trip to the North Shore of Oahu, siblings Claudia (16) and Van (15) were inspired to bring some of Hawaii back home. What started as a hypothetical idea quickly gained traction, and in the spring of 2016 we started building ‘the shack’ in our driveway. This shack was designed and built as a completly stand alone "green" system, powered only by the sun. The name "Lani Ice" came to us as the best way to describe Hawaiian Shave Ice... lani is Hawaiian for "heavenly", translating to the name, Heavenly Ice. The shave ice in Hawaii is unlike any snow cone or water ice found here in the states, so we decided people shouldn’t have to travel nearly 5,000 miles to experience it! Made with vanilla ice cream, soft and fluffy shave ice, tropical flavors, and condensed milk on top, it's something you need to try and inevitably fall in love with. Along with shave ice, we decided to add smoothies and acai bowls, which are a healthier option for a cold summer treat. Acai, if you are unfamiliar, is a Brazilian super fruit (similar to blueberries) which we blend with frozen fruits into a thick smoothie base, topped with a design of fresh fruit, granola, coconut, and honey.

 

Please stop by and enjoy a little taste of the Hawaiian Islands.
