50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Kailua

“HIGHLY recommend! Above and beyond my expectations, as ALWAYS ❤️“

“Wonderful bubble waffles ice cream, my new favorite ice cream shop!“

“I Love 💙 this new Tiger Milk 🥛 Bubble tea 🧋.“

“Picture is the Pineapple Sky, it's a green tea + juice blend with lychee jelly. It tastes just as yummy as it looks, zero additional sugar added (you choose) and still very sweet. I didn't get a picture, but the other drinks ordered were extra beautiful too. This is a really fun concept and interior, more interesting and engaging in person as compared to photos/videos. Definitely will be back.“

“Great taste using Natural non dairy ingredients! Very great customer service and good price.“

“Delicious and friendly staff! 😊“

“Loved the flavors! We had the Lilikoi Sour and the Kona Sunset.“

“I meant to write this review a few weeks ago. However, the service was super nice. The two girls working were very inviting. The gelato is super good and creamy and has an almost stretchy consistency. The toasted marshmallow was my fave. Definitely plan on coming again.“

“I have visited the Haleiwa location multiple times and it just hits the spot for unique gelato flavors! I also highly recommend any of the crepes ... and of course, the Ube Mochi waffle!!! Staff friendly and attentive and the place is kept very clean. Definitely worth a stop if you need to pick up a pint of gelato for a family dinner too. ;)“

“Love their coconuts and the lady was really nice too! Anybody headed north should definitely stop here for a nice cold coconut“

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

“I was lucky enough to be gifted the Bibingka Brownies by a family member. And omg, it was a flavor explosion in my mouth. Moist, not too sweet, delectable and perfect!!!! I looked up this business and saw all the unique ice cream pie and ice cream cake flavors and am planning a trip to Honolulu soon to taste everything on the menu!!! They have such innovative and exciting flavors, I can’t wait to put them in my mouth!!!!“

“this place is a little tucked in the back behind the other carts selling every souvenir imaginable, but was 100% worth sticking it thru and trying to find them at the end. the flavors were top notch, and the lady selling them was a delight. i got some sort of gummy cubes on mine as well as this marshmallow seeming things that were fantastic. I will shout form the roof tops that Hawaiian shave ice is leaps and bounds better than any snow cone on the mainland.“

“Looking for something different for dessert or a snack in Waikiki? Check out this place. Asian style desserts are very unique and should be given a try if you never had them. A lot of times, they are unique twists on American or European desserts. This place is no exception and does it well. I had a mango Dole Whip with a mochi waffle pop. I love the fact that they make the mochi waffle fresh, so you get the hot waffle next to that cold Dole Whip. Great combination. At about $7, it isn't bad considering they are making something fresh for you versus just scooping out something into a cup and sending you on your way. The staff was friendly and showed care in their preparation of my order. There is a good assortment of different offerings, so you'll find something for just about any taste moods.“

“My family & I checked out this ice cream shop in the Chinatown district in Oahu, while visiting from California, and we are new fans! My two sons enjoyed a strawberry & chocolate ice cream, & I had me their delicious “black sesame” ice cream. The black sesame is a must try! All their ice cream are handmade & creamy with a lovely taste that will want you to go back for more.“

“I got the mango cheesecake ice wave—a combo of shave ice, ice cream, real mango chunks, and little cheesecake bits. It wasn’t overly sweet, which I really appreciated. The smooth ice cream and fluffy shave ice helped balance out the mango and cheesecake. The shop is small and very Instagramable, with cute little kawaii items for sale adorning the walls—like a mini hydro flask! They also have a dairy-free soft serve, which is awesome. Please note, it’s Venmo or cash only. It’s a bit pricey, but you do get a lot for it.“

“Shaved ice so "fine" with a wide variety of flavors and add-ons 👍🏻 very consistent and never fail to delight. Also reasonably price. Service with a smile and so accommodating. Parking at times a challenge so go in the muddle of the day.“

“Best place ever. So delicious icecream:)“

“food is great! service was awesome.. love the ice cream and stuff. spicy crab cucumber kim chee hot dog was ono.“

“Good experience. On a hot day, gelato is always a good choice.

Service was friendly and patient. Was able to try many flavors before selecting and ordering.

Portions were surprisingly larger than anticipated in comparison to other ice cream and gelatos shops in honolulu. Even the small had quite a bit of gelato in it and we could have gotten one scoop of two different flavors. Instead I just ordered the strawberry yogurt but it was good so no regrets. They also give you a small wafer with each item purchased, which was cool.

Definitely be back. Enjoyed it very much.“

“Well worth waiting in line. Excellent choice of flavors of ice cream and sorbets. Also stopped by for a mocha latte and a coconut pineapple muffin.Awesome!!“

“I absolutely loved this place! The banana-based soft serve is so creamy, refreshing, and naturally sweet — the perfect treat for a warm Waikiki day. Everything tastes fresh and feels light yet satisfying. Such a fun and healthy concept, I’d definitely come back again!“

“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“

“Love going here when I visit to Oahu and have a sweet tooth😁“

“Very authentic place, super unique place and the attention to detail is fabulous.
I was visiting and we came 3 times and took some tea with us.
I agree with the policy of having to buy one thing each to sit, is a tiny place and things are expensive.
Come on ppl!!

Best of luck to this business, for lots of success 🙌“

“While visiting Hawaii and staying in the Ala Moana area, I decided to stop by the Yoajung ice cream store since it was close to our hotel. I was craving something sweet yet refreshing, so I decided to order the choco strawberry cup, and it did not disappoint because it was delicious and refreshing! The staff added plenty of dark chocolate on my cup which made it extra yummy. The cashier was also super friendly, which made the experience even better.“

“The tomato basil soup was delicious as always. The garlic truffle fries were outstanding with the garlic dipping sauce. The chicken parmesan sandwich was a little disappointing. Just a little bland. But the service was great and it's a great place to have lunch.“

“This matcha ice cream was super refreshing and well needed!! While waiting, my bf & I decided to take pictures in the red box Photo Booth that’s right along the wall. The combo of this matcha ice cream was perfect. They have so many different combos! Go give them a try!“

“Located at the Hawaii Sheraton Hotel.

Unfortunately, before coming here, I bought Haagen-Dazs.
I didn't eat it because I already ate it.

I definitely want to stop by next time I go to Hawaii!“

“As a Baskin-Robbin’s customer of over 37 years on Oahu this one in Kaneohe is by far the best baskin-Robbin’s we have ever been to! I bring my kids here all the time they treat all their customers with so much Aloha! They don’t mind giving out samples and accommodating to your requests. They are generous with what they serve and love what they do there! My kids always ask to come to this spot because of how they are treated there one time my son dropped his ice cream they seen it and without even asking they served him a brand new cone! Much Mahalo to all you workers you always do such a fantastic job on serving the people of Hawai’i. The true definition of what a great working team represents here in America these are the kind of workers that deserve to be recognized!!!“

“I visited the baskin robbins at kamshopping today and had a great experience! The staff were very friendly and helpful, making sure I got exactly what I wanted. Even though the store was undergoing renovations, it was still impressively clean and well-organized. It’s clear they care about both their customers and their space. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Wow! AMAZING & very unique gelato cake!!! I have got the Nipponpolitan (matcha, black sesame and red bean) Wow, what a cake! Absolutely delicious, delightful and very special. Especially after recent trip to Japan, it feels so nice to be able to get these flavors. I d say one of the MOST UNIQUE CAKES I HAVE EVER HAD! And one the the best ones! The price is good too (its a pretty big cake). Thank you, La Gelateria!!!! ?? Made our celebration even more special. ✨✨If you are wondering - get their cake!!!! ?“

“Nom nom! 😍 we love the variety and friendly staff!“

“I would really never review a chain like this. BUT only 1 reason. The gentleman that worked last night Friday May 24, 2024, closing shift. Did the best job that I ever seen. Kept his composure, greeted and thanked customers. Serviced a continuous line BY HIMSELF. Which included taking orders, making orders and cashiering, AGAIN BY HIMSELF. Did an amazing job. Not only has to be his own security for safety purposes but wow he deserves a raise. Then he has to close the place alone. Thats a lot of responsibility. Easily this was thee employee of the month hands down, even year. Kid If your reading this and they don't give you a raise contact me I will get you a better job.“

“Thank you for your attentive and friendly service! Everyone loved the halo halo. Highly recommend for your next party!“

“Our group had a craving for pizza and we stumbled on Lewers. The person working the storefront accommodated our half/half all meat/pepperoni pizza and it was ready in about 25-30 minutes. The crust was floppy but the cheese and toppings were flavorful and not too greasy/oily. It was a pleasant find.“

“The dole whip pog slushy is ONO!!!“

“I looked at the shaved ice item oh my gosh it’s huge but I went for Maiko special matcha flavor and it’s yummy. I didn’t like the cornflakes but oh well. Next time I’ll try the ube flavor. It’s locate behinf Marugame Udon restaurant. There’s also a Tiger Sugar boba tea place next door and there are tables outside to sit down and enjoy it.“

“Thank you for your attentive and friendly service! Everyone loved the halo halo. Highly recommend for your next party!“

“I would HIGHLY recommend Asato Family Shop! They are so hospitable and their ice cream is perfectly sweetened and flavored. They offer superb quality with the warmest Aloha spirit you will find. Their ice cream is delicately light and rich. They offer unique flavors from Hawai’i. I’m so glad I found this truly hidden local gem! MAHALO NUI!!!“

“Girls working at the Front counter are very nice and personable. Answered my questions to help with my decision. 5 Stars for Service and My Malasadas gets another 5 Stars as it came out Fresh & Hot!!! Short wait & worth it!“

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