Ended up at Tobi’s three times during my week in Paia. Poke is a must! So so good and very filling- tuna was amazing. I got the Samoa iced coffee a different day per an employee’s recommendation and it was fantastic. My last full day in Paia I got the Kalua pork plate, as well as the High Surf (?) shave ice. The pork was so tender and delicious (also a very filling portion) and the shave ice was the best I’ve ever had. The ice is so smooth and creamy- not like a Kona ice on the mainland. Definitely a must try place! Friendly service, clean.

After wrapping up our hike at Twin Falls Trail, we were definitely ready for a good meal—and Tobi’s Poke & Shaved Ice turned out to be the perfect post-hike spot. We were craving something fresh and filling, and this place absolutely hit the spot.
I ordered the Tobi’s Poke Plate Tsunami, and wow—every bite was bursting with flavor. The fish was incredibly fresh, the seasoning was spot on, and the portions were generous. You could really tell that quality ingredients and care go into their food. I finished every last bite and was seriously tempted to go back up and order more.
The vibe of the place is super chill and casual, which made it a great place to unwind after being out on the trail. Service was quick and friendly too—even though they were fairly busy when we arrived, we got our food in no time.
Also, a helpful tip: there’s free customer parking behind the building, which we didn’t realize at first. It’s super convenient and saves you from hunting for street parking.
All in all, this was a fantastic find and definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area—especially after a hike or beach day. Fresh, delicious, and satisfying—what more could you ask for

This is a great little stop coming back from the Twin Falls hike, especially if it’s later in the evening! (The other shave ice place in town closes at 5 pm) We stopped for shave ice but ended up getting some food also. The shave ice with the natural flavors (and dole whip!) was pretty good! Not the best on the island but still a yummy, refreshing treat. My son got one of the regular flavors (grape) and it definitely tasted like a fake syrup. I also got the hurricane poke nachos and they were so good! Definitely could be split between 2 people and there was a good amount of poke for the price.
There is free parking around back!

Super cute place. Great vibe. Super sweet staff. Best shaved ice and dole whip in Paia. They also have poke plates big enough to share. Usually busy because they are so good. Added bonus: woman owned and she named it after her cat. 😻🖤 A must visit in Paia.

A cozy and nice place with good pokes, tasty shaved ice, and nice coffees.
They have their own parking for clients.
Some times there are 5-10 people in queue, but it moves fast and most people order to go.
