Reef's Real Fruit Ice Cream
New Zealand style made-to-order soft serve that blends real fruit into your choice of vanilla or coconut ice cream.
About the Business
Reef’s Real Fruit Ice Cream offers a New Zealand Style made-to-order soft serve that blends real fruit into a vanilla or coconut ice cream. Vibrant, sweet, refreshing, and naturally picturesque, the ice cream gives a taste of Hawaii, while the brand spreads the spirit of aloha through its iconic fruit pattern and exceptional customer service. At its heart, Reef’s is about creating meaningful connections, sharing a memorable experience, and building community. Whether it’s helping a parent find a healthier treat for their child, collaborating with a cool bakery down the road, seeing a customer's face light up when we say we have a non-dairy option, or partnering with incredible non-profits, Reef’s is here for it all! The brand will continue spreading aloha as it grows from Maui to Maine.
Abby Alvin
Abby began her career in sales working seven years with Fortune 500 clients, leading teams, and developing mentorship/culture programs. In 2020, she left her career to accomplish her goal of traveling the world before turning 30. While in New Zealand, she discovered real fruit ice cream in this adorable surf town, and knew she had found something special.
Three years later, after moving to Maui in a remote sales role, Abby was ready to leave the computer behind, get into the community, and be her own boss. Seeing this moment as her opportunity to open the ice cream shop she'd dreamt of for years, Abby launched Reef's Real Fruit Ice Cream in November of 2024, named after her sweet island pup Reef! The brand quickly gained traction and recently expanded to Portland, Maine, with a summer pop-up this June of 2026.
