Yes, it’s true. This is a laundromat. How does this fit into the whole scheme of restaurant reviews? This is added here for the convenience for those visiting Maui.

W&F Washerette makes the best and what seemed like the most inexpensive shave ice. According to shave ice connoisseurs, the fineness of ice shavings is dependent on where the blade is in the sharpening cycle. W&F offers shave ice for under $2 (which seems to beat out all competition). It’s a bit out of the way, but if you’re already in Central Maui or needing to do your laundry anyway, it’s the place to go. It’s very close to Queen Ka’ahumanu Shopping Center.

W&F offers a wide variety of flavors and gives a generous portion of shave ice. The basic one flavor shave ice without ice cream starts at $1.25. Larger sizes are also available. At the time of my visit, add ice cream for $0.50 and additional flavors for maybe another quarter or 50 cents more. Excellent value and taste!
