About Lappert's Hawaii

Lappert's Hawaii is a charming local ice cream shop celebrated for its great flavors, nestled in the Princeville shopping center. The shop is small, accommodating only about four customers at a time, and has an old-school vibe. While the ice cream is of high quality, customer service can vary. Some visitors have enjoyed friendly and patient staff who allow them to sample different flavors, while others have faced long waits and a less welcoming atmosphere.

The selection includes around 16 different varieties, featuring traditional favorites like Mint Chip and Vanilla Bean, as well as unique island flavors such as coconut pineapple, mango, and Kauai cookie. There is also a 5 scoop sampler for those who want to try multiple flavors. Customers appreciate the option of waffle cones or chocolate-dipped cones, with standout flavors like macadamia nut and Oreo chocolate cookie crunch.

However, some guests have suggested that having the flavors listed outside would help speed up the line, especially on busy days. While the ice cream is yummy and worth the stop, the service and confusing hours—like having the door locked when the lights are on—have led to mixed feelings about returning. Despite the high prices typical for Hawaii, many still find this quaint ice cream shop a perfect treat on a hot day.
