“ I've always been curious about this ice cream shop. We decided to try the watermelon ice cream and the pineapple strawberry sorbet. When we got back to the hotel and tasted them, they were incredibly delicious! Both were packed with the flavor of real fruit juice. My husband, who usually isn't a big fan of ice cream and only occasionally eats sorbet, ended up finishing an entire pack by himself. As someone who is very particular about ice cream, I can honestly say this is the best I've ever had. It's rare to find watermelon as an ice cream flavor rather than a sorbet, and I absolutely loved it. 05/05/2024 Last time, I was blown away by how delicious it was, so today I ended up buying five I got four ice creams (Taro Poi, Honey Dew, Kona Coffee, Mango) and one Mango Strawberry Sorbet. Every flavor is so delicious, I’m hooked! ”
“ Love the chocolate! And the Durian was good!! Both were the last cups!!!! ”
“ Homemade in a styrofoam cup sorbet. Cash only but they accept Zelle or Venmo. They have outdoor seating and you pick your flavors from a freezer so it’s just like a store. It’s an in and out type of store front so there shouldn’t be long lines and you can sit and enjoy it or eat while walking. Because the flavors are written with permanent marker, my hands were stained. There were a variety of flavors and we went with the li bing pineapple mango sorbet. It’s like $10 so a little more pricey but you get a lot and can share. They close at 9pm which is on the later side for the stores in this area so it’s one of the later dessert spots open. I enjoyed the flavor and it didn’t melt quickly. There’s no parking in the area so easier to walk here or grab something k the way back to your hotel if you’re in this area. ”
“ The ice cream in cups threw me off at first but it surprised me. It’s real fruit ice cream in a cup and doesn’t pretend to be fancy. The soursop ice cream is my favorite, I think I will be adventurous and try the durian when they’re both in season. They have ice cream and sorbet. I prefer the ice cream for the creamier texture. The accept cash, Zelle, and Venmo now. ”
“ A small shop tucked away near busy Kalākaua Avenue. My sister and I visited for its sorbets--they're fantastic! We tried the mango lychee and the watermelon; DELICIOUS, you can tell they use real fruit. We returned the next day for more. ”
