Lawson Station is a souvenir and convenience chain in Waikiki, selling a fairly standard array of gifts and general snacks. What elevates this particular Lawson Station are the truly superb shave ice and snow ice offerings. The ice is soft and finely shaved, and the syrup generously applied, making that first bite so deliciously sweet and melt-in-your-mouth good. For an extra treat, try requesting some vanilla ice cream in the bottom of your shave ice. The snow ices, a more lavish treat, mix flavors with various toppings and sides, like the pictured strawberry-mango snow ice drizzled with condensed milk and with strawberry and mango chunks on the side. Service is quick and friendly, and you cant ask for a better place to enjoy your shave ice than at the nearby Waikiki Beach. Please note that as of September 2021, you are required to wear a mask in order to enter the store.

Super good stuff. I bought some souvenirs here and shaved ice of course. I was happy to see the lady here enforcing the mask rules. Rules are rules no matter what or how we feel about them. Some people think they’re above rules. It’s not that difficult to be compliant. Good workers. Good souvenirs. Good shaved ice. I forgot cash for a tip. Sorry about that!

What to say .. just try the snow ice cream 🍨 here ..it is the best I ever had .. supper yummy 😋.. they have dole ice cream and that is also very popular so go early to get it . When I went it was crowded and things are getting super fast . My kids loved the rainbow 🌈 shaved ice .. menu is limited but everything is very tasty 😋.. just have your ice cream, relax and watch the sunset.

No need to go to the Dole Plantation for the Pineapple soft serve because they have it here (unless you want to go for the experience). They also serve shave ice and also have the small ice cream mochi you can purchase in this store.

I tried the dole pineapple whip mixed with vanilla ice cream and shaved ice and they were delicious!!

Really awesome Snow Ice! Try the mango and strawberry😉. I would stop by everyday if i was in the area.Came back again before my flight and got the same thing. Still good! Dont miss out!!

Popular dessert place! Must try the snow ice with vanilla ice cream and topped with mango and strawberries.

Great spot for essentials / shave ice and Dole whip!

The best shaved ice I had. You have to try it! Strawberry and mango with fruit!

Oh my gosh, if you haven’t had the Snow Ice, this is the place to get it! Absolutely awesome to get one then watch the sunset on the beach. They also serve Dole whipped ice cream, which seemed to be super popular. Would definitely try again!

Mostly just an okay spot. I believe the convenience is really what draws people. They do have shave ice (which I love) and Dole whip (which I found to be just okay). It does have the tendency to get a bit packed and backed up, so youll have to practice patience.

Best ice shave!!! & nice souvenirs

Rough-around-the-edges convenience store just prior to the heart of Waikiki beach is well-located but worth skipping. Their Dole Whips are nastified (watered down?) and lines often long. ABC Stores are much better options and there are plenty in the vicinity.

Affordable, delicious shaved ice. Quick service. Friendly staff.

Little convenient store that offers shave ice and dole whip. Friendly staff and many options. Small and outdated but can’t complain much

Try the strawberry mango snow ice and you wont be disappointed!

Good spot for shaved ice in waikiki.

Best shaved ice and vanilla ice in Hawaii, period. The vanilla ice is inside...

The shave ice and malasada were great. They have dole whip too!

The shaved ice here is some of the best on the strip. Very fine and reasonably priced.

Great pineapple soft serve. Very friendly staff

The best shave ice!

This store sells Dole Soft Serve Ice Cream. But if Dole Whip like the kind sold at the Dole Plantation is what you are looking for, this is not the same. The poster on the door is a bit misleading but they do not claim it is Dole Whip. While still tasty, it is more slush like and not creamy.

This place didnt look like much, but we stopped for Shave Ice on our first day in Waikiki. I didnt expect much, but it was so delicious. The best Shave Ice we had during our 2 week stay (and we had it at a lot of places!). Their mango and strawberry ice dessert was the best thing Ive had - loved it so much, we went back 3 times. We tried to go back on our last night in Oahu, but they closed their ice machines early (9pm) :(

Overpriced items and limited supplies.

Just like the lawsons in Japan! But with shaved ice on top which is very good!

Grab a Dole whip cone or cup. Pairs well with local baked sweets. Friendly service, reasonable prices, convenient location.

Convenience store with souvenirs, snacks and limited supplies. This location had shave ice and Dole whip. It was a pretty small store but great location next to the water.

Nice Shaved Ice

Um Oh my god Lawsons shave ice is like CRACK. For the love of GOD get the strawberry and mango snow ice and prepare to have your mIND BLOWN.

The young lady who made our shaved ice have higher portions lots of syrup and obviously takes pride in what she does. If go so far as to say she took pride in get craft. Great experience

Took the family here and tried the dole whip, shave ice, snow ice and the handmade ice cream sandwich, all were excellent. Had no issues with the service, they were friendly.

The snow ice is awesome, the employees, not so much. Visited several times and each time they’ve been rude. Oh and when they say they close at 12, that’s the store. The snow ice closes whenever they get tired of making it. It was closed at different times every night and each time we were given either a rude answer or no answer at all. It’s unfortunate there aren’t other snow ice places nearby

I had shaved ice and Dole whip which both tasted great.

Service is a bit slow here but it’s worth the wait. The shave ice is delicious and bigger than the ones you can get elsewhere. She care about what she does!

Just a regular convenience store with few japanese items

Its not as Japanese as the normal Lawson store. Still quite awesome to have.

Had their strawberry and mango shaved ice, it was very good, sweet with a good mix of ice and mango chunks.

Affordable Hawaiian shaved ice...

Best snow cone Ive had since I was a kid.

Ok spot, but convenient. I prefer ABC stores. But you can get mochi ice cream and spam musubi here.The green tea mochi is good.

Japanese convenience store chain. Great place for Calpico and Japanese snacks.

Best shaved ice! Less than a block from Waikiki beach👍

Good shave ice and mochi close to the beach.

Small convenience store and lots of good snacks.

Staff are friendly and helpful.

Have iced mochi and shave iced

Extremely rude staff

Awesome!

Lawson next to Moana Surfrider.Its next to the police box on Waikiki Beach, so its convenient when youre thirsty or hungry on the beach.The famous shave ice is recommended.Due to the influence of the corona pandemic, as of April 2021, there are no products such as rice balls for Japanese tourists in stores.

When I came last time, I bought Zaru soba and ate it, so when I came again, I was disappointed that the shelves had only cup ramen and daily necessities. After all it is the influence of corona.

Rainbow is delicious hahaha

The uniform is Hawaiian and cute 😍

It is a small convenience store.

This store also sells shaved ice. You can buy Japanese-style hand-made rice balls at convenience stores at Lawson in Waikiki. It is a standard ingredient such as salmon and kelp, but I always buy it during my stay. The price is high, but it is delicious.

The head family is reimported by Lawson of the United StatesThe assortment is completely different from Japan.In particular, foods such as bento boxes are like Japanese food overseas.Only the signboard is the same as Lawson in Japan.We also sell fluffy shaved ice that is familiar to Hawaii.

A store that Japanese people can rest assured. Shave ice is oversized and sells instant udon noodles such as oden, rice balls, red fox and green tanuki.

I sell shave ice

The rice ball was delicious with Japanese rice.Comparable to Japanese convenience stores.On the other hand, oden seems dangerous. It was too stewed and all black.

I ate shaved ice. Its the best in hot Hawaii. The cashier male clerk knew this.

A lot of Japanese ingredients are sold.

Volcano ice cream to fall !!! Hawaiian specialty

Pure pure lillicoy butter was on sale!It is so delicious that you should buy Kore ♪

Impression of a local convenience store

I visited to buy a name and key chain.
