Dessert Restaurants in Honolulu, HI

“This was the best shaved ice we had in Hawaii. The owner was very friendly and the shaved ice was delicious we loved the fact that it was all naturally made. You get so much for paying so little and we will definitely be trying to come back. (A must try)“

“Best shaved ice in Honolulu! Delicious ice cream and syrup flavors! They also have all natural options. We’ll be back tomorrow 🤤“

“I’m not usually the one to review, but this shop left a great impression on me during my visit—in many aspects.

The customer service is amazing, kind and attentive. We went here two times during our stay, the man and girl were both very friendly 🙏

The boba (we got jasmine milk tea and matcha milk tea) was fresh and the boba was soft and chewy- you can taste the tea. I recommend getting 25% sweetness if you like it not too sweet though.

The shop was small but colorful and comfy, the napkin dispensers were very cute. It was quiet and ambient. Thanks so much for the service, Littlw Sweet.“

“Simply the best shave ice I have ever tried. The natural syrups taste like fruit and not too sweet. The pineapple tastes like frozen crushed pineapple.. amazing! Made with love, with layers of shave ice and syrup, so no lumps of plain ice.“

“Best place on the island. Not all icee places are equal. This is the best place . Be sure to try it“

“As always the best thing to cool you off on a hot summer’s day is Shave Ice from Shimazu’s“

“People seem to come here for matcha but their EARL GREY GELATO is the best EVER. I have tried so many earl grey desserts. This is one of the best. I tried earl grey, hojicha, lilikoi, matcha, black sesame and ube. They are all amazing. Loved the rich flavors.

FYI, there is a sitting area if you want to eat inside the building :)“

“I gotta say, the workers are very efficient. Most of the time, I find workers in stressful situations to be well, stressed. But these guys just kept firing off cookies. They were obviously not loving it. I could tell you that much. I watched as they walked around the kitchen in the back with a mission. I've never baked cookies, and I don't plan on it. Especially after seeing all the hard work the workers had to put in baking those cookies. (Yeah I know people say it's easy to bake cookies but every person who told me that is a good baker) But they just did their job with ease and control. As far as I could see while I waited that day for my order, they didn't get a single order of cookies wrong, including mine. I would go again without hesitation.“

“Our first authentic shave ice and it blew away our expectations! Delicious, fresh, and the best sweet treat!“

“Best shave ice we found on Oahu. We walked from the zoo end every night just for Lahaina shave ice. Made the mistake of trying a different place one night and quickly learned our lesson. Hands down the only place to go“

“I was craving some souffle pancakes and did a google search and found this little café. I love coconut and they have Coconut Creme Bruleé souffle pancakes on their menu and I knew I wanted to have them. I thought they were great, not too sweet which was perfect. It is a tiny little café, the young ladies tending were sweet and kind. I would definitely recommend if you want to have something light for brunch. They also have teas, smoothies and some cakes“

“Was just in there today and got a couple sweet treats. The young lady that was there helped me decide what I wanted and explained to me what things were! I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her. Then possibly the owner, another very nice lady, gave us 2 free sweets and took our picture in front of a beautiful wall. 10/10 experience and highly recommend stopping in!“

“Whenever we pass by the store, we need to stop by and check it out !!! Especially for mild tea bubble drinks. ❤️“

“The fruit toppings are fresh and delicious. Mango and honeydew are our favorites.“

“Everything is good, definitely recommended, I was just there last month for mini vacation and my cousins Jennifer Viloria recommend me to your bakery.. I bought some pastries back home from Santa Clara California🤙🏼“

“We tried the matcha vanilla swirl and the ube, and both were absolutely delicious. The ice cream was creamy, flavorful, and the swirl itself was beautiful. It is definitely the kind of dessert that is as fun to look at as it is to eat.

After trying the ice cream, I am now curious to come back and try their regular matcha drinks as well. If their matcha flavor in the ice cream is any indication, I have high hopes.

One small note: be careful with the spoons! They were surprisingly sharp, so eat carefully or consider getting a cone instead.“

“Stopped by Kith Treats for some ice cream after lunch and it was a great decision. The whole concept is really cool instead of just throwing toppings on top, they actually mix everything into the ice cream.
The texture and flavor you get from having the ingredients swirled in throughout is so much better than your typical sundae. It’s a very unique experience and definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and looking for a high-quality dessert. Five stars!“

“This place is literally a dream and very worth the price. - must stop in Waikiki“

“I bought Obanyaki today at Times Supermarket in Aiea. Some of the Obanyaki looked like it wasn’t baked long enough. Especially the vanilla custard. Please toasted more darker.“

“THE CHARCOAL CONE WAS SO.GOOD.“

“The fine, melt-in-your-mouth shave ice 'hit the spot' after a day at Hanauma Bay. I had my shave ice topped with condensed milk, but I think I'll have it with ice cream or azuki beans next time. Hey, if President Obama loves it, I'm all in! Mmmm“

“Been to the island a few times but this was the first with our kids and the best place to take kids than to get ice cream. And my goodness were we thrilled about it. Flavor choices were amazing. And sooo delicious“

“Best ice cream shop in town. Freshly made. Crave for more. Flavor favors.“

“Saw an instagram reel about this place and was curious enough to go check it out. It feels like I’ve walked by it and never noticed before but it is one of those unassuming places.

I really wanted to get the banana ice cream but there wasn’t any available the day I went. The flavors seem to change daily depending on what ingredients they can get.

Ended up going with the lychee ice cream, although I almost opted to go with chocolate instead. I’ve had lychee sorbet before but never an ice cream. The flavor was nice and subtle but just enough to let you know it’s lychee. The texture was a little fibrous but it’s probably because of the fruit used.

It is a cash only place so have some in hand. At $11 a cup for the ice cream, it might seem pricey but having grown up in Hawaii and also working in a restaurant making fresh ice cream and sorbets everyday, I was happy to just have the chance to try a legendary hole in the wall spot with amazing flavors. Would I go back? Absolutely, just to hunt down the banana flavor.“

“Friendly service and great food.“

“Pretty good boba place in Ala Moana!! They have a frozen durian topping for just $4 which was so exciting, I got it in a bowl on the side, it's hard to find plain durian at all, so I was very excited to get a bowl of it for so cheap. The drinks are a bit pricier but pretty delicious, I got a mango green tea and coconut milk boba. The boba and lychee jelly were both great. The inside is a bit of a work in progress, it all looks very new, better to grab and go. The staff was nice, you can order on a kiosk or with people.“

“Sincerely, I prefer their pineapple soft serve over the generic Dole one they serve at ABC. There's definitely a difference; the texture is less like a sorbet and more like actual ice cream, without actually feeling like normal regular ice cream.“
