Best boba in town, I got the blended taro boba and it was amazing I had just finished surfing g and went there to see what they... got and my friends got shaved ice and blue Hawaii boba and there?s were soooo good the shaved ice was really good and she addedthe sour stay on it that was also really good. The prices and reasonable for a regular size for the boba is $6.00 and the shavedice was also a really good price. I would really recommend going her so drinks and shaved ice, they also are like a little shopwhich was cool to look around while waiting for our drinks. Read more
Best Boba and shaved ice in Avila Beach. I've never had a shaved ice like Big Al's. A must try is the scoop of ice cream in the... middle - EPIC! Read more

Grabbed a whole milk latte to take to the beach. Friendly service, no line or much of a wait, and latte wasn't scalding so was... ready to drink. Made for a good experience. Read more
Came here for shave ice with the family and it was awesome. From other pictures, it looks like they used to have the... petal-plastic containers I remember from Hawaii, but they?ve replaced them with more eco-friendly paper-based bowls. The iceshaving machine looks like the standard Hawaiian one and the ice itself comes out light and fluffy. About 16 flavors areavailable, limit 3 per serving. $4 for a small, $6 for a large and $3 for the unadvertised mini. Add $1 for a scoop of vanillaice cream in the middle. Small is a generous size, pictured below. Update (4/11/2021): Still delicious and the best shave iceI?ve had outside of Hawaii. Mini is now advertised, small and large increased in price a little bit. Absolutely worth it. Insidedining is closed, so it?s either eat outside sitting on the brick walkway or take it somewhere else. Read more
offers a great alternative to ice cream or frozen yogurt. Very affordable with a bright and clean atmosphere. I highly recommend... giving Big Al's a visit! Read more
Super friendly. Quick service. Tasty shakes, awesome shaved ice. Must get the ice cream with the shaved ice #dothenumber2 Very... tucked in, so walk and look left. Read more
Literally came to Avila beach just for the tiny two room aquarium. Well I just love this small slice of seaside heaven. We... were strolling around and came across Big Al's. The shave ice is 100% on point. Had the lava flow with ice cream in the middle. When some asks you want something from Big Al's. Just smile say Shoots Brotha and throw up your Shaka. Read more
