8 Best Ice Cream Shops in Hilo

“Best shaved ice so far that I have had on the island �. Creamy and smooth.“

“Tried Chillville for the first time today. It was so good. The regular size was $12.50+Tax. My husband thought it was a bit much but considering how much ice cream we got plus the fact you can add mix ins, toppings, and sauce, I think it was totally worth it. Plus they gave me a foil to wrap my cup in so I could take the rest home. It's now sitting in my freezer for later.

I don't remember what my husband got, but I got the chocolate ice cream with strawberries and fruity pebbles mix in, topped with oreos and fruity pebbles and drizzled in chocolate sauce. My god was it amazing. It didn't taste overly sweet. They put a generous amount of toppings and sauce. And I could taste the strawberries in the chocolate ice cream. I would've had toppings with nuts but I was expecting to share it with my son and he has a nut allergy. Next time I will not be sharing and will get nuts lol.

Inside had benches and lots of sitting room. There was a play area for kids and my son was busy over there most of the time. There was even a little kids table he sat at and played with toys. Nice big windows out on the street with windows benches. And a great big trash can in case you eat your Sushi HI bowls in there too.

Overall, the environment was so friendly and great. Staff was super nice and accommodating and the ice cream was 🔥 I'll definitely be going back when I get the chance. P.S. today was not ice cream weather but it was still a great treat 😋 wish I had pictures.“

“Matcha made in heaven! So enjoying the newly expanded beverage menu. Love love love.“

“What a hidden gem on Banyan drive! The place looks very low key and unassuming, but serves great fruit ice cream bars of various flavors, all made with real fruits. The staff members are super friendly and even gave us fancy ice to keep our bars frozen. For anyone who visits there, make sure to order their malt milk shake, which for some reason isnt listed on the menu. If the fruit pops were 8/10, the malt milk shake would be 11/10. Yes it is that good!“

“Has and always will be the shit when it comes to sweet cravings. Everytime I come back home to Hilo I gotta get one before I dig back to the airport. Everything from the shave ice to the ice cream and now their shakes which I gotta try are always heaping, solidly priced and taste amazing. Whether I'm taking the nieces and nephews or I just want to enjoy a craving solo this place has always been a staple and will be for you too!“

“The soft serve here is amazing! Would definitely recommend getting the unicorn which contains both Ube and dragonfruit soft serve with some sprinkles. We went here twice during our trip to Hilo - the first time we got just Ube and second time the unicorn soft serve which we loved! The flavors go well together“

“We go there for our ICE CREAM CRAVES❣️😜We have ice cream dates every Friday or as much Needed like tonite👍🏼Also after school with the gkids for the chicken snack pack“

“Great stand by. Too bad there is not one in Kona.“
