    All the ice creams and flavors
    Angela V.

    Ice cream was very good! To me it was a mix of frozen yogurt and Italian ice. Service was great! They offered us a sample. I had the coconut and coffee! Delicious

    Small Scoop, half strawberry, half yuzu. So good together!

    Soooo many choices! I love coming in here (partly cause the ice cream (or is it sherbert?) and also the yummy delicious smell of the fresh popped popcorn. I stopped in for a cup to eat while I went shopping at Times next door. I was going to get a pre-packaged flavor (there are so many to choose from!) but I was intrigued by the flavors that were in the machine - Yuzu and Japanese grape. I got a sample of the grape so I could make an informed decision. The nice guy working also offered me samples of the Strawberry or Yuzu but I've tried those flavors before. First off, let me just say the sample is a pretty generous size and was a couple spoonfuls. After much musings, I decided not to go with the grape and ended up getting Strawberry and Yuzu. Because they are in different machines I couldn't get a swirl but I did get one cup half & half. The sherberts are not heavy and have such yummy flavor. The yuzu was light and neither flavor was overly sweetened. (at least I don't think so). I was also able to eat my whole cup while I shopped so it was the best shopping snack. Needless to say, I know I'll be back here cause there's so many flavors I need to try. Don't take my word for it, go check it out yourself!

    Aloha Creamery was incredible. Owner Justin was there and greeted us with his friendly staff. He made us feel very comfortable. I like the modern look of the store, very clean and inviting. We got a whole bunch of stuff and I got to say that everything was crunchy and fresh. Very tasty especially my fav with a little spiciness on certain packages. This place is super good. I like the guri guri style ice cream. They even had a non-dairy flavor too. The pop corn is always fresh to order as well.

    Dairy Free!  Japanese Grape!  DELISH!

    Heard about this new snack shop in Aiea!!!Formerly Samurai, ground floor, near Times Supermarket. A must-try!!! Owner Justin and his staff were very hospitable! We tried samples of their sorbets and I requested one that was "Dairy-Free" Luckily they had a Dairy-Free Japanese Grape flavor which was Super Delish & Refreshing! We had fun talking story & showing them Magic! :D They have cute reusable bags too! Definitely returning to try other Popcorn flavors, Snacks & Dairy-Free sorbet!!! BIG LOVE & MAHALO!!!

    Us enjoying the pineapple and coconut! This is a must do

    We are from Kentucky and found this wonderfuL creamery! Homemade and delicious, we almost want to go back for seconds. The staff are amazing, very helpful, informative and helped to choose a flavor. You might not have tried. Mahalo aloha creamery.

    The only dairy-free freeze

    A cool spot in Aiea... Aiea Shopping Center to be exact and I just wasn't prepared for the vibe I got with the selection of snack you'd find here while I came to grab a frozen treat to beat the summer heat as I walked in and immediately got the whiff of freshly popped popcorn which stopped me in my tracks and noticed the giant popcorn machine with the list of flavors you're able to have it shaken got this salty lover excited. Though moving on to the large display case in the back of the shop is a whole selection of cool treats with all the flavors written on the door made it so easy to browse though the decision was my biggest challenge and narrowed it down from "Strawberry Yuzu" and "Ube Matcha" but you know that Matcha will always win and as I moved on with my selection to purchase the shelves filled with grab and go snacks got me good though the shrimp chips was a definite no but the popcorn got me again and just grabbed pizza flavor, as I went to purchase at the service area noticed that they also have a single dairy-free flavor of "Salted Lime" but I didn't waste time to enjoy my Ume Matcha freeze and it was so good and loved how it was packed to the limit the container can hold and that's solid. Thank you!

    Snacks in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... My neighbor told me that this place is basically the same, but with a different name. Aloha Creamery is located next to Times Supermarket, underneath McDonald's. This is a small shop with flavored popcorn. The fresh fragrance immediately hits you when you walk inside! Along the wall is a bunch of other snacks. The display case features all types of guri guri-style ice cream. Unfortunately, all of the flavors are not dairy-free. (Sad face) Maybe next time??? Thank you to the staff for being very efficient and helpful! I also appreciate the free parking and wonderful air-conditioning!

    Matcha green tea soft serve ice creams... yummy!

    Glad I finally found this little snack shop. My neighbor gave me a bag of Japanese curry flavored popcorn a month ago & it was so yummy. He said it's next to Aiea Times market. Shop is very Easy to find & has good parking. I got a sample of their coconut , vanilla & strawberry soft serve ice creams & they all were yummy. I got a few bags of popcorn to share with my family & neighbor & some matcha soft serve to go. I would have bought more soft serve to go containers if I had a bigger cooler bag in my car. I will come prepared the next time. Staff was very friendly too.

    Such a fun little shop with all kinds of snacks and soft serve. I tried the Korean spicy and furikake chips and they were so delicious and unique. I honestly wish I had more room in my luggage to bring everything home. The person helping us was so sweet and friendly. She was also really quick with helping everyone. They also let you make your own popcorn flavors, which is awesome and super customizable. A great stop if you're into fun, flavorful snacks.

    $3 per cup!

    Supporting local has never tasted so good! I've been coming here for years since it was Samurai. Now that it's opened under a different name & family, we had to try! Right when we walked in, we were greeted with samples of their fresh soft serve. Today, they had strawberry/vanilla & lychee/chocolate in the other. Both were so creamy and refreshing. That's also multiple freezers with all different flavors. My newest obsession is anything ube so I had to try their ube/coconut. My hubby loves yuzu and grape and he was excited to see they had both! Lastly, our daughter is obsessed with anything rainbow and wanted the "rainbow" aka vanilla, strawberry, banana. They also have a huge wall full of local snacks from chips to seeds. Prices are very reasonable at $3 per small cup. They also had large sizes for ~$8. I'm so glad the new owners kept this shop a sorbet/crack seed store! We'll definitely be back because there are sooo many other flavors we want to try!

    This place is great! They are located in the Aiea Shopping center next to Times. I discovered them a few months ago when I was making a quick stop at Times. I knew it was under new owners for about a year & saw them featured on Living 808 tv show awhile back. It is a family-owned business. This snack shop sells all kinds of goodies from freshly made popcorn offering different flavors, seed, arare, chips, and the best part, their frozen dessert. Some people call it ice cream or sorbet, but it tastes like the guri guri from Maui, which I love. Good to know I don't have to fly to Maui to get some anymore. This place offers so many flavors including local flavors. Besides the usual vanilla, strawberry, banana, chocolate, they have melon, mango, ube, coffee, matcha, lychee, lilikoi, pog, and more. They are sold in a 1/2 cup plastic container for only $2.99, which is a perfect serving size or a larger container for $3.99. From day one, I have become addicted & each time I visit, I'll buy at least 4 - 6 1/2 cups at a time just to try the different flavors. On my first visit, I couldn't make up my mind, so hard to choose. There are 3 display units of flavors. I was even offered a sample of the vanilla/strawberry flavor - yum! I have become a regular fan of Aloha Creamery. Customer service is outstanding. Everyone has been so nice and friendly showing real aloha. My go-to favorites have been the coffee, ube, lychee, orange-vanilla, & melon. The orange-vanilla tastes like the dreamsickle ice cream. If you want a cool refreshing frozen dessert with lots of local flavors to choose from, you need to give them a try. You can't go wrong - yummy dessert, friendly service, and clean place. Support local!

    The old "samurai snack shop" taken over by another local family. Glad they continued to keep selling these products for young and young at heart adults to enjoy. It really brings out the kid in you. They sell freshly popped popcorn, soft serve ice cream, ice cake and other local snacks. All perfect items to have after school, work...or in between work hrs, bring to sports games or order for school parties. All workers are friendly and sometimes they offer you to sample their fresh soft serve of the day. The flavor combinations are all so yummy. More on the creamer side than the samurai recipes but at least they live up to their name.

    An amazing place with so many flavors to get and choose from. Guri Guri with options of pre-packed in a freezer or softer serve with their interchanging flavors. They also served popcorn with your choice of seasonings. On the wall is a variety of candies. The workers are extremely nice and offer to help if it's your first time and can't decide.

    Did they change their name to Taste of Paradise? (located next to Times too)

    No, didn't change name TO Taste of Paradise, but it's the same location as where Taste of Paradise was.

    Where exactly are they located?

    Next to Times in the Aiea Shopping Center ground floor.

They're a small kiosk inside Pearlridge, right next to TJ Maxx. There's usually a few minute wait since the popcorn is made fresh to order and there's only one employee, but it's definitely worth the wait! So far I've only tried the volcano, which is a hurricane mix with kakimochi and furikake. The popcorn is always crisp and evenly buttered with the perfect kakimochi ratio. They have 3 size options - you'll want to get the large because they're so good you could finish half the bag in one sitting. I had a friend try some of my popcorn a few days later and was surprised with how fresh it still tasted! In his words he said it was "to die for" lol.
