“I was looking up ice cream spots near me during a stay this past week and saw all the glowing reviews and knew I had to try it. Went yesterday a few hours before my flight home and it did not disappoint. I had guava and passionfruit in sweet cream and it was fantastic! So so good. Owner was friendly and nice to chat with :) I only wish I could have tried more flavors but not a bad problem to have ;)“

“While visiting muggy, muggy, sticky, and did I mention muggy Kona, I was thrilled to see a DQ. Like a mirage in the lava rock desert, there she was!

They're located in the Kona Commons, a newer mall between Kona Airport and Kailua Kona town. The store was clean, and service was friendly and fast.

DESSERT:
Oreo Waffle Cone Blizzard
Mmm, mmm, mmm good and so much better in a creamy, crunchy waffle cone! Clean and very easy to eat because it came in a plastic holder.

OVERALL:
I wish DQ would open back up on Maui!“

“This was hands-down the best shave ice I've had anywhere in the Islands! Friendly staff, delicious syrups made from actual fruit, and ingenious holes in the tables that prevent spills. If you have always played it safe by choosing red, green, and blue, take a chance and let one of the staff select for you! I guarantee that it will make your tastebuds stand up and say,"Whoopie!!"“

“Ice cream was great and Aaron is a good guy. He treated us well

Parking: Underground parking that can be validated if you eat at one of the shops in the building

Kid-friendliness: My 7yr kiddo is very chatty with grown ups and Aaron was pleasant and interactive with her. He made me feel very comfortable as I and I assume most parents would not be happy if shopkeeper was unkind to kids. Would be happy to revisit“

“The girl who worked there was super nice. We went for açaí bowls as my husband is Brazilian and we had just had a long day at the beach, and I needed a coffee. The açaí bowls was $19 which my husband thought was not worth it, especially as there was more toppings than açaí. I was bummed that the only milk options for coffee were vegan, but the other coffee/açaí shops within walking distance were close, so we went here because I liked the name 😆 I went elsewhere for my coffee but the kids liked their ice cream, from tropical dreams. Overall, maybe the açaí bowls aren't too bad if you're not a Brazilian with expectations. 😉“
