Shave It

Friendly service.
Good selection of flavors and combos.
The girls have suggestions of what’s popular and cool stuff to try if you’re indecisive.
Note: winter operating hours.

Went to Shave it for some shaved iced/​Ice cream, Really good flavor combos and good price for the amount you get in a small size. My daughter loves it! They have a lot of shaved ice flavors and good ice cream flavors as well as toppings. Iyanella (think that was her name) Was the only one working tonight when we stopped by, she had a lot of customers but was steady making all of the order’s while taking more order’s as they came it! She rocks!

I am so glad that they finally opened in Simi. It was such a tease to see the «Coming Soon» sign on their door all the way through summer. Nonetheless, I have been there 4 or 5 times now even now that it is cold. Shaved ice is good anytime of the year! I have not been disappointed so far. I have tried the Twix, Candy Cane, and a few that were just random flavors that I chose. Their ice is perfectly shaved, not crunchy at all. I’ll definitely be going back for more!

Wonderful and friendly service from Catlin last night. She did a great job with my large family order. I love this place. They have the best sugar free options around. I could eat desert there every day.

Was in the area visiting friends and her daughter suggested we go try shaved ice! Surprisingly delicious! I’m a fan for sure. Love the concept, the store is cute, modern and clean! Excellent service. The flavors are super tasty. I’ll make a point of coming back !
I think it’s a great addition to the center.

It’s delicious and it relaxes you. Especially during this hot weather. Love the bubble gum and cherry flavor! So good, and not expensive at all.

I have been waiting months for this place to open! Finally Simi Valley has a shaved ice place again!

Was so excited to try this place as I work in Westlake and love the one in Thousand Oaks but was sadly disappointed in the service.
Girls were working their tushes off but a male asst manager I think his name was Kyle was just walking back and forth to the back on his phone.
Service was slow and I think they were already running out of stuff. They actually had to remake our order twice as they didn’t make what We ordered. I even had to remind them I was still was waiting on my order as several people behind us rcvd theirs.
I may come back as they are so new and hopefully I will have a better experience!
Update: went tonight with my family and the service was sooooo much better. We will be back!

Since I’m not supposed to have sugar, I love the fact that I could get every flavor without sugar. I had blue vanilla and raspberry. It was very good. My grandson also enjoyed is Hawaiian Punch and cotton candy flavors. I definitely give it a! They just need Li hing Mui to top it off!

Absolutely love this place! Friendly staff make it all the more better and they do not skimp on the syrup one bit. I think my husband and I have gone here at least 10 times since it opened. Thrilled to see the line’s out the door. And love that you offer sugar free options where no one else does!

Pretty good. I had fancy pants, which is banana pineapple ice with coconut ice cream on top. I would have liked more ice cream. I think that would have made it better. I want to try the root beer float.

I work in the shopping center Shave it is located in, so I’ve been anticipating to try this place. I have to say I was not disappointed. The service is a little slow, but the manager Kim made up for it. She was really nice and apologetic, which really made the experience better. The shaved ice itself was really good. I had coconut, mango, and coconut ice cream. The shaved ice with ice cream was actually better than I thought it would be. The shaved ice isn’t chunky, it’s almost like a slushee consistency, which is how I prefer it. I would definitely recommend giving this place a shot.

I don’t know if the «Shave It» franchise is involved in some kind genetic cloning experiment but something is going on there. We tried out the Simi store and by the time we left my daughter and I were discussing this idea as a real possibility. How else can you walking into a business that is packed full of people and be treated courteously and professional by… kids! The only thing we found cooler then the snowcones (i had ice cream) were the employees themselves as they deftly handled a room of sun scorched patrons.
Though the location we first tried was in Camarillo (shout out to Camarillo Shave It) who set the bar for all others to follow we were never the less blown away by the Simi store.
When we got our icy treats my daughter told me that her experience was EXACTLY like her first one (please read Camarillo review) and I had to agree. The product was great and the service was outstanding.
Cloning outstanding employees might sound outlandish and politically unpopular so I will through out this idea instead… time travel. Yep I said it. Both times I went to Shave it the day was hot, my daugther grumpy, and both times my daughter and I left happier that we went there together to share a moment of laugther and smiles between a father and his daughter.
We felt like we were in Camarillo all over again.
Thanks Shave It and look forward to coming to your store again.

Concept is great. Had some in Valencia so it wasn’t new to us. Ordered a large and just didn’t get enough ice cream. Paid $ 5+ for flavored ice. Should be s ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ mix.

Came in for the first time with the kids! They loved it! Sure to be back soon! Service was friendly, store was clean! Great way to beat the heat!

The concept and the ice/​ice cream is good. But I’m not sure if I will look forward to stepping in there, except to take everything «to go».
This should be a kid friendly place, considering the concept. I know my two year old was excited when we got there. But a few things made us take ours to go.
1) they seem to only have high chairs that are so light you can lift with a finger. Heavy high chairs are fine but when you have a toddler who wants to sit and eat, you’re waiting for someone to get hurt. They should really have invested in normal height chairs for families.
2) the floors are incredibly sticky. You can tell someone is taking a sticky mop and just smearing it all over the place. It was a nasty feeling and we got up and ate outside.
3) There has to be a cleaner way to make these. You see these workers dripping in juices, their hands are discolored from all the coloring and they give it to you in a hot mess of a condition.
Also, service is slow. We probably waited 15 mins for our two cups. On a hot weekend evening, you’d think they’d have more staff. The workers are so overwhelmed they have forgotten about customer service (simply greeting customers, thanking them, etc). Where’s management?!
I guess my only beef is that Simi is such a family friendly town and this new business seemed to not have gotten that message.

My kids and I love Shave It. We would drive to Thousand Oaks from Simi just to get some. We have been to the Simi Shave It three times since its opened. I understand completely that the employees are still learning; however, last night was such a huge disappointment. We went in to get three shaved ice and took them to go. When we got home, the ice was a solid block of frozen ice, not the soft fluffy ice we are used to. The ice cream was basically non existent. The employees putting on the lids were clearly flustered because none of the lids fit. We had to throw away our shaved ice because the block of ice was inedible because all the flavor sunk straight to the bottom.
We did go the night before as well and my Root Beer Float was amazing; however they got my daughters order wrong. By the time I got home it was too late to realize her order was wrong. She ate one side of the ice at least.
We will be back, no doubt about that. I hope the employees get continued training so we get the quality shaved ice we are used to.

Just opened up in simi. Friendly staff and really good icees. For 1.25 more you can get some ice cream on the bottom — I think that’s kind of gross but my son goes wild for it… So, we will be back.

One of thee greatest creations ever created! County fair quality sweets available in the neighborhood. Can’t beat it, especially in the valley on a sweltering day!

I’m so glad this place finally opened up in Simi Valley because we were missing a place like this. They have so many different combinations that you can choose from and if you have kids it can get a little overwhelming. The Nintendo Crash is one of my favorites because it comes with sour stuff that you pour over the flavored ice and it’s intense. If you’re in the mood for flavored ice, I highly recommend you come down and try this place out if you haven’t already!
