On a trip to Kapolei, I stopped by the Ka
Makana Ali'i shopping complex. It was the day before my birthday in September, so I was like, why not?
I stepped into the Baskin Robbins ice cream shop that's located in the thick of the food court area. There was limited seating but the place was popular enough to not find a seat until someone leaves. I arrived here around 1pm after taking the Express Bus C from town, which took about an hour. The store itself was empty and very much air conditioned. It was cool to be here just before my birthday and indulge in a sweet treat. And so, I got a pint of chocolate ice cream for around $10 ish. It was definitely delicious and it hit the spot. I must have spent about 30 minutes to finish it all, but I did it. The entire experience here at this Baskin Robbins ice cream shop was about 15 minutes, since I tend to be indecisive sometimes about the ice cream flavor I want. The service here was friendly and very pleasant while being casual and good at the same time. For the most part though, it was good and fun to make a stop here at this particular Baskin Robbins ice cream shop in Kapolei because it just was meant to be. The store itself was small and standing room only, which is okay. They didn't have any chairs or tables inside the restaurant but there's a food court seating area directly outside of the ice cream shop, if you decide to eat it right away. It was definitely worth the trip for me. Definitely recommended if you're into ice cream and on Oahu.
The overall experience here at this Baskin Robbins ice cream shop at the Ka Makana Ali'i shopping complex in Kapolei, Hawaii was definitely a good yet casual experience. It was a good choice to get ice cream here compared to other places around the island. We thought it was a small ice cream shop, it was centralized to where the food court was, so it was a nice place to get ice cream while you're shopping here in the mall. What I enjoyed was the flavor selection, especially when they had chocolate readily available for me to see. They often have other flavors or mixed combinations of flavors that two families and a small children. For me, though I like my chocolate or anything with chocolate, especially Rocky Road. Chocolate chips in vanilla ice cream would do in a pinch. The restaurant itself was clean and ready for anybody and everybody who wishes to have ice cream on a brisk weekend. Or anytime anybody feels like having ice cream anyway. The price is here are on par with other places, comparable to scoop size and other offerings that they will have. I feel like $10 for a pint of ice cream is comparable to other places, but of course it can be expensive too. A pint of ice cream can be as good as a new replacement. Eating ice cream as a meal? You bet. The body of ice cream here is very good and definitely worth a try if you haven't been here before. Passing Robbins is a household name here in Hawaii. A brand that was here for decades if not longer so, do yourself a favor and come on by if you're in the area. A scoop or two of ice cream that is your favorite wine can help with the stress and promote nostalgia. You know it does every single time I come here this time, though, it was to celebrate my birthday. Definitely worth the trip, especially if it's your birthday.
Is particular Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop is located within the food court of the Ka Makana Ali'i shopping complex in Kapolei, HI. Like many merchants in the industry, they accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, the shopping center has a very generous amount of parking to choose from. Much like Ala Moana shopping center, parking is not a problem usually. For those who love the public transportation here in Honolulu, like me, the best bet will be Express C. It is fastest direct route from Ala Moana shopping center. And if you love to take Ubers or a Lyft, you can do that too at your convenience. Definitely stopped in to enjoy what life is all about: something to consider when you're out on your life's activities. Ice cream doesn't hurt anybody, at least most people. In the end, generally speaking ice cream makes people happy. And Baskin-Robbins is here to help feed that happiness. No matter what flavor you choose and no matter how much you get, it's all good. I couldn't believe that. I finished a whole pint in 30 minutes. Might be a record actually. And so, on your next trip here to get ice cream, you can be sure that the ice cream is quality and a fresh day. Definitely something to look forward to on your next trip to pick up ice cream here.
5 stars for the overall experience.
