Baldwin’s is best known for its generously portioned shave ice, with flavors like lychee, li hing, and coconut often topping the list. Syrups are made in-house, and regulars rave about the soft, fine texture of the ice, perfect for warm afternoons. You can choose from dozens of flavors and add-ons, like mochi balls or condensed milk, to make it your own.
Beyond the shave ice, Baldwin’s offers an assortment of local snacks, Hawaiian candies, and gift bags. It’s a great place to pick up a few sweets for the road or grab a snack before heading out on a drive up the west side of the island.
