Baldwin's Sweet Shop

Baldwin's is one of my favorite shave ice on the island. The flavors of syrup and the ice are delicious. They have a variety of sizes and served in a cup which makes it easy especially with kids to eat in the car if you're on the go.

Ordered the recommended pairings of shaved ice, US$10 (pounder).Had a hard time finding a parking lot.Nearby is Leonard's hot malasadas (really, donuts) mobile (3-minute car ride).Go there, parked inside a mall.Shaded area to enjoy your shaved ice.

Three and a half stars for me. Wanted some shaved ice after some Cajun food and came here. Wasn't my first time, however I never remember to Yelp it in time. They have an assortment of candies and local goodies inside as well as shaved ice to order in the front. Staff is very nice and it's pretty good. The prices, well, all prices have gone up and this is no business' fault but everyone has to make a living. If you do pay with credit card there is a 3% surcharge to your total so if you don't want that, pay in cash! The ambiance reminds me of a mom and pop shop so, excellent.

We used to come to Baldwin's Sweet Shop frequently whenever we came to Oahu. We haven't the previous times visiting, so it was nice to drop in today. Good to see that they are still around and busy as usual.Sweets, Crackseed, & Shaved Ice.

I don't know because everytime I stop by it seems they're closed. But, have been here before since we were kids over 30 years ago.

I haven't been here ever since Covid wow it's been awhile. Since I was in the area my wife was craving for baby seeds so we stopped by.I know they're known for their shave ice so wanted to try their snack and seeds. As my video shows they're all sold out with most of their merchandise which is great for them.I decided to ask one of the workers if they had baby seeds in the back somewhere. Like the old saying goes if you No Ask you no Receive. Luckily they had some their shipment just came in so they had to pack more. So I got baby seeds , Li hing Pineapple, banana chips , ginger Okoshi (puff rice) . I figured support local and small businesses. It was so hot that day I wanted to order shave ice but there was a line . Maybe next time if I'm in the area I'll order shave ice. Support local

I'm a fan of this little Shave Ice Shop. I sometimes wonder if they're even open but if I'm in the Waimalu strip mall I will stop and pick up some of their crack seed or cookies or a shave ice.This is a very small shop, two workers behind the counter and only open six hours a day. A lot of their crack seed is under their own label and cheaper than other places. I usually come in for the root beer shave ice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The prices are lower than most but the quality and variety is the same to me. They are in between Chun Wah Kam and the corner ZIPPYS which is temporarily closed. Parking in the strip mall lot and I've never had trouble finding a spot. If you're in the area it's an old school place that deserves a try. Only open Wednesday through Sunday.

Located in the Waimalu Shopping Center, this shave ice and snack shop has been here for decades. A family run business for decades making da' best shave ice on the island. I miss the days of the iconic shave ice cone where the head falls off if you are a newbie. But the cup design makes sure nothing is lost in this refreshing treat. This is a takeout shop, so there's no seating or place to enjoy your shave ice or snacks. Service team is super friendly like a local owned family shop should be. I've been coming here for decades and will continue the come here as often as I can.

I have been a lifelong patron of Baldwin's Sweet Shop from the 80s! My grandma would bring me here at least once a week. I love this place so much. They've moved from one end of Waimalu shopping center to the other in my lifetime, but their ambiance and customer service have never changed. I love this local, family owned business. They are top tier, 100%, no ka 'oi ALL THE TIME! I'm a big fan of the snacks and seeds: dried lemon peel, li hing mui, and arare, but a HARD CORE STAN on the plain vanilla and coke shave ice! It hits the spot!!! The ice is shaved so fine. It's 'onolicious. It does not disappoint EVER.I recommend you visit here once if you've never been. You'll be a fan. They have a ton of flavor options and if my family of 8 can find their favorite flavors and toppings/add ons... so can you!

I've been coming here for decades and they have a great following in the Aiea-Pearl City area. Every neighborhood should have a family business like Baldwin's for their favorite snacks and some excellent shaved ice. Whenever I am at Waimalu Shopping Center I always stop by to see if some of my favorites are in stock. If you avoid the lunchtime crowd, which can be a challenge to find parking at the shopping center, it is worth checking the store because there will be something for everyone guarantee.
