Tutu’s Shave Ice

I’ve loved Tutu’s for six years and will continue to love it for many to come! Best shave I’ve I’ve ever had!

Can I give this 6 stars??? Tutu’s is amazing. If you think it is like a snow cone, you are dead wrong! This is fluffy, flavorful, and an excellent treat on a hot day! Scott was so friendly and made sure that every single one he served was to perfection. I would highly recommend him to do an event for you if you want a fun atmosphere. If you happen to see them serving around town, I highly recommend stopping by and having one. You won’t regret it.

It’s getting hot in Southern California and if you’re having an outdoor event you better have Tutu’s Shave Ice. And not just kid’s event…
We just had our Grand Opening of our Nationwide office in Simi Valley and people were ecstatic that they were greeted with Ice Cold Shave Ice. It was one of the first really hot days of the Summer and the hawaiian shave ice really helped to cool people down. We are still hearing about how wonderful an idea it was.
Tutu’s Shave Ice is a professional and reputable company that has a lot to offer. Scott knows exactly when to show up for an event, what to bring, what to serve, and makes all your guests feel welcome. If you’re planning to have an outdoor event, you have to call Tutu’s Shave Ice!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE TUTU’S!!! This mobile shave– ice is the bomb. I have had the opportunity to experience Tutu’s in a variety of settings, and in every one of them, they fit right in. Definitely for kids, and for the kid at heart. They can serve your child’s birthday party, or your adult dinner party. You will not be disappointed. Get your Tutu’s on now!

I never had it before. The Dole Whip was recommend since it was my first time. Great recommendation! I heard they are great for corporate party and a lot of local businesses hire them for their employees as an aftrenoon treat in appreciation.
I’ve seen them at street fairs, Chamber of Commerce events, fundraising events, and I’m sure they do birthday party as well.

Amazing! This is the best place in town to get a shave ice. The flavors are natural, the service is incredible, and when my little one dropped her shave ice, the owner replaced it in a heart beat. We go out of our way to find out where this mobile unit will be, so we can get the best hot day treat.

Scott contacted me through Unilocal.Have to clarify; the old store is closed, but the Tutu’s mobile operation is going great. Seems like everyone’s still loving your work, Scott. Good luck!

Tutu’s to the rescue. It’e been so hot lately in LA and what a wonderful treat and I don’t even HAVE to feel guilty about it. Plus I’m lactose intolerant so it’s a great alternative to ice cream (becasue you can request not to have it)! Thank’s Tutu’s!

since Tutus is now mobile you should check FaceBook for thier latest location. Still the greatest shave ice around!

Not too long after my first experience at Tutu’s, I spent many an afternoon with Scott and his mobile version of the the business. In fact, I assisted him a few times at various events around town. The impact of his presence cannot be overestimated. If you want to add something awesome to any event, Shave Ice is definitely the way to go, and Scott is the one to bring it. Sugar Free Shave Ice? Where else are you going to get that?! Huge portions that give you brain freeze. Flavor combinations that keep the chemists guessing. It’s all good — if you see the pink tent anywhere around town, stop and give yourself an awesome treat. And tell Scott that Patrick sent ya :)

Fantastic authentic Hawaiian shave ice. They have great flavors and all the right genuine shave ice toppings. Very friendly staff and fun store. The shave ice is fluffy and great like it should be. Don’t confuse shave ice with sno cones, two totally different things.

I’ve since changed my original opinion. This place is terrific… not that it wasn’t before… but I’ve developed a new obsession! Buttered Popcorn! Yum!

This ice cream place is out of the way in Simi Valley. They have both shaved ice and ice cream.
Ice Cream: They serve Cascade ice cream (from Oregon not Hawaii), they do not make their own ice cream at all. Cascade ice cream is very good and quite comparable with the Thrifty ice cream available at Rite Aid. They have a good variety of flavors, probably 25 or so.
Shaved ice: They do shave ice, they do not use crushed ice like in snow cones. The flavored syrups they use are quite conventional and unlike what is available in select Hawaiian shaved ice locations, do not have unusual flavors like red bean. They do have a remarkable variety of flavors for the shaved ice.
Overall I was disappointed in the quality, no homemade ice cream or flavors for the shave ice but I have to fully agree with the other reviewers who nearly universally remarked about how friendly and helpful the staff of this family owned ice cream shop were. Highest rating for friendliness.

Simi Valley isn’t really known for unique dining experiences. But I don’t know many places in Southern California that offer Hawaiian Shaved Ice. Tutu’s is one of the few joints I’ve heard of that does.
It’s located, like most restaurants in Simi, in a shopping center. Their funny looking yellow mini Ice Cream truck is parked out front, something to check out when you’re walking in. Inside it’s not that fantastic, the floors needed to be mopped, but they had plenty of tables, and a wall with photos of people who took the timed challenge, eating an entire cake pan of shave ice (or I think you can do ice cream).
They serve ice cream, and dole whip too. I think they also sell popcorn and some other things. You can mix and match, you could get shave ice on the bottom of your ice cream, or whatever you want really. There was hardly a line, and although it took a little bit to get our actually ice, the service was fine. I think they were training some new folks that day also.
I decided to go for blackberry flavored shaved ice. My boyfriend go the Hawaiian Punch flavor. The small bowl is $ 2.75. Now I don’t remember how much shaved ice is in Hawaii, but frankly I’m not sure if shaving some ice and putting syrup on it is really worth $ 2.75. It was definitely tasty and incredibly refreshing on a hot day. I think next time I’ll order a flavor that’s not as sweet.
Like I said, worth it for dessert if you’re in Simi!
Oh and by the way, they offer a catering service. Hire a shave ice stand for your next shindig!

2 words: DOLE WHIP!!!
If you have never tried Dole Whip, go now and try it. If you love Dole Whip, go now and get some. Recently went to Disneyland and the line for Dole Whip was as long as a ride. Then I remembered Tutu’s has Dole Whip and I was ok.
Pineapple Upside Down Cake ice cream. Scrumptious. I was given a sample of that with my Dole Whip and I knew I had to come back. So I went back 2 days later and got that craving taken care of.
I haven’t tried the Hawaiian Shave Ice yet, but that is next on my list. They also have coffee which is supposed to be awesome as well. Great foods and awesome service. Can’t go wrong there. I live in Thousand Oaks but I see myself driving out to Simi a lot for special treats during the hot weather!

Seriously, EFF snow cones…
To anyone that that tries to pass off a snow cones as Hawaiian shaved ice should have their snow cone shoved up any orifice below their waist…
Hawaiian shaved ice is a beautiful, fluffy experience that has a wonderful effect on your tongue… Snow cones are coarse, crunchy crap that you get at second rate fairs…
Tutu’s is the only place I’ve been to that still does Hawaiian shaved the way it’s supposed to… Light, fluffy and HUGE… They don’t skimp on the syrup either… If I can recommend a flavor, I’d have to go with blackberry… Experiment…Play around…
The Dole whip is also a wonderful palate cleanser that is just amazing… Whipped pineapple soft serve is probably the best way to describe it, but I would say the best way to know it is to experience it…
They also have ice cream brought in from Hawaii…
Being that I was stationed in Hawaii and I trolled around to get as fat as possible before I returned to the states, I must say that Hawaiian ice cream is super rich compared to their mainland counterparts… White chocolate, coconut and macadamia nuts? Yes please…
Did I mention they have free Wi-​Fi?
I could hang out here all day…
Ask about the hall of fame… If I didn’t have to worry about living for the next few years, I’d be on that wall already…

Decided to get ourselves a nice treat this weekend since we were out this way. Big Banner announcing new ownership. In this case, not necessarily a good thing.
Our scoops of ice cream were alot smaller than the previous time (maybe they were overly generous the first time I went?) my cone tasted off, but by that time we were in out car on our merry way. — I ate the ice cream out of the inside and tossed the cone Also towards the bottom of my cone the ice cream got very very icy.
My ice cream partner in crime was fine with his cone (he got a sugar cone, I didn’t) and said his ice cream wasn’t icy.
Maybe it was just an off day, but with these prices, we aren’t anxious to return based on this experience.

Back for more today. Met the new owner too. Had a huge serving of the pineapple Dole Whip.
MMmmmmmmm, yummy.
The new owner has some nice upgrades in the works. This place is cool.
posed some new photos too.

OK, I hope that most people in the Simi area know about Tutu’s. We need to support this unique mom and pop store.
TUTU’S Has PINEAPPLE DOLE WHIP !!!
Yup, just like Disneyland !!!
What a wonderful addition to the already great menu.
Relax and enjoy the 30′ handpainted murrals (That Tutu painted herself), all the shave ice flavors (that they make on site) and the Lappert’s Ice Cream, and not mention the cotton candy and flavored popcorn!
If you’re looking for a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a treat, look no further than Tutu’s.

The Hawaiian Gods sent this little shop to Simi to satisfy my island craving. If you’ve never had Hawaiian Shaved Ice, please do not confuse it with the mainland’s «snow cone».
This ice melts in your mouth, it is soft and fluffy, and topped with tropical flavors. Right in the center is a scoop of ice cream. Once you get to this center, the flavors all mix into one, and your taste buds will never forget the moment. My favorite is Tigers Blood (which is coconut and fruit punch), with vanilla. But there’s plenty of other flavors of syrup and ice cream you can choose, including condensed milk.
If you want to share, Tutu will give you an ‘extra large’ size, and it’s about the size of a human head, no joke. All this for less than $ 5.
The décor is Hawaiian kitsch, complete with a refrigerator full of Hawaiian Sun drinks. Until I make it to Matsumoto’s on the North Shore, Tutu’s will do just fine!
EDIT: TUTU’S JUST GOT PINEAPPLE DOLE WHIP!!!
I wish I could add a star for this alone. I have never found Dole Whip outside of Hawaii and Disneyland. Imagine my pleasure when I discovered her sign that said that she was serving it! Haven’t indulged yet, but planning on it. After all, the mileage to Simi is less than to the OC, and much cheaper than flying to Wahiawa.
