“Makani's Magic Pineapple Shack offers tasty ice cream and refreshing smoothies. Popular choices include the Unicorn Twist, a mix of dragon fruit and ube with sprinkles, and homemade soft serve with granola and fresh fruit. The menu also features gluten-free granola and dairy-free ice cream options. While prices are on the higher side, customers feel it's worth it for a special treat. However, they could use more staff as it can get quite busy with only one employee handling the rush. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable, making it a nice spot to take a break. They do not have many pineapple-specific desserts, and it seems they no longer serve sandwiches.“
