Can get very busy. Staff is young. They made mistakes with our order the two times we went there. Despite the mistakes, the shave ice was good.

Gypsea Gelato has been one of my favorite dessert spots during my stay in Kona. They have a great selection of gelato and sorbet, with plenty of flavors to choose from. Everything I've tried has been flavorful, high quality, and consistently good. The staff have always been friendly and welcoming. I've visited several times and have always had a great experience. I recently tried Gecko Girlz Shave Ice across from this place and I personally wouldn't recommend it. Gypsea Gelato is far superior in terms of flavor, quality, and variety. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

Best gelato I’ve had in my life better than any ice cream place I’ve been to would pick this over any other treat 11/10

Obsessed with this gelato! So many incredible island inspired flavors. Best toasted coconut gelato I’ve ever had. No wonder they have been voted best choice for so many years. Must have!

It was absolutely delicious! The prices had gone up a little, though. I went around 2:30 PM, and the selection was a bit limited.

Gypsea Gelato was great. Tasty Gelato and nice staff. Can be a bit busy though so be prepared to wait. Worth it though.
Many varieties of gelato. Lots of sizes too. Can put more than 1 flavor into cups. Yummy.

I love Gypsea Gelato! Locally sourced ingredients and really tasty dairy-free options as well. Get coffee and really great bakery goods too all made in house. Yum! I love in Washington State and my daughter, hubby, and grandkids live south of Captain Cook. I buy gift certificates for all birthdays and Valentine's Day.

There was a long line when we got here after dinner. This is a gelato store I would recommend as they have many unique flavors that I haven’t had elsewhere. Once such flavor is the Thai flavor of “Tom Kha”. We did a taste test and it had flavors of turmeric, coconut, and lemongrass. But it wasn’t something i prefer in gelato. We end up sharing lilikoi, toasted coconut haystack and Mauka trail (coffee, chocolate, and macadamia nuts). It was delicious!!!! There are 2 benches to sit right outside the store.

If you’re in Kona and craving something sweet, Gypsy Gelato is an absolute must-stop. 🍦
From the moment you walk up, the vibe is bright, fun, and welcoming—very “island meets artisan dessert.” The gelato is locally made, and you can truly taste the difference. Every flavor is rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet.
What really stood out to me was the quality and creativity of the flavors. Whether you go classic or try something more unique, everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. The texture is incredibly smooth—exactly what you want from authentic gelato.
The staff is friendly and happy to let you sample (which makes choosing even harder… in the best way 😄). It feels like one of those spots you’ll keep coming back to, whether you live here or are just visiting.
✨ if you are struggling with picking flavors, Don’t overthink it and get at least two scoops. You’ll thank yourself later.
