Mountain Mahalo is the heart of two places we call home — Hawai‘i and Central Oregon. One side of our family was born in the islands, surrounded by aloha spirit, vibrant flavors, and the tradition of gathering over shave ice. The other side born and raised right here in Central Oregon, grounded in community, hard work, and a deep love for these mountains and this land. Bringing those two worlds together feels natural to us — island warmth meets high desert sunshine. For us, shave ice is more than a treat. It’s a moment to slow down, connect, and share joy with the people who matter most. That’s the spirit we bring to every shave ice we serve, whether you find us at CRUX in Bend, the NWX Saturday Market, Elevation Market Friday Nights, or celebrating with you at a backyard birthday, wedding or a block party.

At Mountain Mahalo, everyone is part of our extended ‘ohana.
Thank you for letting us share a little island magic with Central Oregon — one colorful, fluffy shave ice at a time. 🤙🍧🌴
