“The Halo Halo at Dave’s Ice Cream Aiea is the Best I’ve tasted!!! 💯💯💯“

“Delicious and friendly staff! 😊“

“We tried all of the most popular shaved ice places, ululanis, matsumoto, etc. This place is most definitely the best! I love all their syrup choices and personally the pina coloda and passion fruit is my fave. The condensed milk and Mochi is also so fire. Their mochi was so good and chewy. Amazing service and so friendly as well!!! Thanks for making our trip“

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

“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. ;)“

“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.“

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

“I LOVE BANAN SO MUCH. Their soft serve is genuinely to die for. As someone who is dairy free, it's literally unbelievable that it has no milk in it. The banana flavor is soooo good, even if I didn't like banana I would like Banan. Their chocolate is probably my favorite, the pure banana and the peanut butter are also so yummy. The bowl is also so good with the toppings in it, I got the chocolate brownie one. The staff is also soo nice and the location is great. Banan for life man.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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 :)“

“So delicious! Rich in ube flavor and I love the variety of toppings as well! I especially love how customizable they are! The cheesecake is so fresh and filling! I also enjoyed the cute photo area with the cute surprise toys they sell on the side! Definitely coming back for more of the other flavors!“

“I DREAM of this frozen yogurt place!!! Hands down the best dessert I've had in Waikiki. The lehua honey yogurt is my favorite flavor, and the Mac nuts are ridiculously fresh.
The service is awesome and friendly and the vibes are lovely.
A definite must-have while on O'ahu!“

“A delicious late night snack while wandering around Waikiki. The chocolate sorbet was surprisingly rich and delicious! It's hard to find sorbet that is vegan but this really hit the spot. I only wish the single scoop was a bit bigger for the price.“

“Absolutely love this little slice of heaven at South Coast Plaza! Lovely service, fabulous food and we sat on the patio with the humminbirds and it felt like a mini vacay. Thank you to Adam for great service and friendly employees all around.“

“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!!“

“Really delicious soft serve and acai! Their soft serve is made of bananas, and is naturally dairy free and sugar free, but it is so delicious. The sundaes are so good, many yummy toppings. I shared the small cup with one other person and it was a great size. The space is very small, just a little booth, so there's no seating, but the beach and downtown are right there. The staff was very nice too, and very fast!“

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

“You walk up, place your order on the electronic screen in front of the counter and wait for them to call to pick up your order(s). There is no indoor seating. You seat yourself out front in the courtyard at one of the picnic tables. There are a number of other fast food options that share the little courtyard for eating food. Service moved realatively quickly from ordering to picking up the ice-cream.“

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

“It’s sooo delicious! I come here every single time I visit Oʻahu, and if I’m staying in Honolulu, I’ll come back multiple times! frozen yogurt with fresh strawberries and honeycomb is perfection: creamy, refreshing, not overly sweet, and somehow completely addictive. honestly, one of the best desserts I’ve ever had!“

“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“

“Anything you want you finding here“

“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!!!! ?“

“came to get ice cream with friends and the service was amazing. Jeremiah helped us out and made sure we had a great experience. Allowed us to try different ice cream flavors and made excellent conversation with us. I appreciate the staff it’s rare to have people like Jeremiah in the food industry.“

“Small dessert/tea shop on Kapahulu. Have fun hunting for street parking. Prices are a bit high for the portion size, but the taste of the desserts are good. I tried the Hojicha/Chocolate gelato and Matcha gelato and both had strong tea flavors. I also tried the Warabi mochi latte and it had a nice, deep flavor. The texture for both could be improved. The gelatos had a slightly sandy texture and the Warabi mochi had an uneven, clumpy texture. However, I would still return to try other flavors of gelato or the tea/gelato combo sets.“

“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!“

“This was my first, last, and best shave ice during my time in Waikiki beach. I got a shave ice with mango, cherry, and watermelon. I also added the triple mango ice cream and asked them to put it at the bottom so it didn’t melt. Would highly recommend what I just mentioned. Loved everything about this shave ice. I celebrated every bite, but dreaded the last one. If there was an option for 10 stars, I would give it. Overall, it was phenomenal. Make sure you give it a try!“

“Everything was educational and the workers are awesome“

“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!“

“highly recommend this for savory and sweet meals! the tea is so ono and a beautiful purple. the scones are amazing! I just love the ice cream too and ube is a bonus!“

“The dole whip pog slushy is ONO!!!“

“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.“

“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.“
