OH MY!!!! We found a new spot! This place blew our minds with how creative and delicious everything was! We tried more than 10 flavors (sampling is encouraged by the owner )! No artificial dye added! Our kiddos got the Dark Chocolate, Christmas Candy Cane and Lychee w/mochi! I got a double scoop 100% Match & Castaway Coffee. My husband got Lime Breeze. My other favorites that we sampled were Madagascar Vanilla (their award winning flavor) and Cotton Candy (love that there's sprinkles on it). The owner was very friendly and it was nice chatting with him as we decided. The vibe and ambiance was welcoming, clean, kid friendly and all around great! Lots of seating with cute coloring pages hung up. The flavor do rotate so if you see a holiday flavor, try it! We'll definitely be back! read more

Located on the corner of king street across of the park is Castaways ice cream that just opened up not too long ago. Only street parking but after 6:00 pm you don't have to pay the meters. I had the Cookies & Cream mint ice cream and it was okay lots of cookies and cream, but the mint flavor wasn't that prominent. My wife had the coconut ice cream which she enjoyed. They have games to play so customers hang around and play games there which is good and bad, because of the amount of parking spaces shared with the park goers and the ones wanting to get some ice cream. read more

For years i thought this place was some sort of illegal money laundering operation as they were under construction for such a long time with only very generic stock photo images in the windows. Boy was I wrong. The inside is way larger than i expected it to be. They have a small crane game for kids to play as well as coloring sheets and an assortment of board games to play while you're hanging out. Service is also great. Unlike a lot of ice cream shops they don't limit you to how many flavors you're allowed to sample. Oh yeah, they also use metal sampling spoons as well as serve your ice cream with metal spoons. They have plastic ones upon request, but we were told they break pretty easily. There's a good selection of flavors to choose from. Pretty sure they're all made in house, but i forgot to ask. Only cone options is waffle cone or bowl...no sugar cones for you weirdos like my wife who prefer those. I got the pandan/toasted coconut and ube cream ice creams. Which were super flavorful and tasted almost like a creamy halo halo. Will definitely come back again....parking stinks tho. read more

Great service, the workers were helpful and nice. The shop was clean and there were lots of seating. They offered games to play, there was a piano, and claw machines. There were many flavors of ice cream to choose from and you can sample the flavors. I didn't particularly care for the ice cream after trying some flavors. I just settled on a flavor. The person I was with liked the ice cream. Just a matter of preference. Street parking. Shop is located at the corner across Moiliili Park and First Hawaii Bank. read more

Fairly new ice cream location at the corner of King Street and McCully. Nice big seating area, a piano (a sign says that you must know how to play though) and cute retro styling to boot. The ice cream is homemade and very creamy. We ordered pandan with coconut and ube flavor combination in a cup. We also tried the lychee with mochi bits. The pandan with coconut had an incredible flavor! Of course, we'd need to try the many other flavors but we'll save that for another time. Parking is very limited as it is for most businesses in the area. Service was topnotch! read more

Came in on a weeknight and the place was packed! I love that there's a lot of seating though to enjoy your treats. Tons of flavors, although about 4-5 were sold out for the day already. I'd say they have about 2 dozen or more? There was just ONE guy working that night and he killed it, excellent service. Just felt bad for him that he was manning the whole store himself. Ended up with an ice cream sandwich - mac nut cookies (great) and dark chocolate ice cream. Well, I asked for dark chocolate, but pretty very sure I got the ghiradelli chocolate instead? Which unfortunately is not what I wanted. It was too sweet for me. But the service was still great and gotta cut him some slack. The ice cream was tasty, but a lot airier than I expected it. Not very dense if that's your thing. But I'd still go back and try something else. read more

Stop by during our morning walk. Greeted by a very friendly gentleman whom was the owner, let us taste some flavors. I decided on the pandas coconut and strawberry delight while my friend had vanilla and ube. We sat down and enjoyed, both were satisfying and delicious. Ambiance was very pleasant. Nice to have such a nice ice cream shop in the neighborhood. Come in and support this local neighborhood business, a great place and we will be back to try more flavors. read more

If you're craving ice cream, this is the spot to go to. They have a bunch of different flavors that you can sample before choosing. The ice cream itself has a really good, consistent flavor and even has a bit of stretch to it. They also give you a really big scoop for the price, which makes it totally worth it--especially on a hot day. Great and friendly service read more

I was excited for the arrival of this ice cream shop, as I truly love and prioritize the homemade stuff. For me, it wasn't a win though. Service was nice and the shop is cute. I appreciate that they aren't packing it full of dyes and the serving sizes are generous. The flavors were all pretty subtle though - you had to concentrate to find the chocolate in the chocolate. But my primary issue is I just don't like sticky ice cream. I know this is from using a too high ratio of stabilizers and I imagine it's hard to keep temperatures cold in Hawai'i, but that chewiness just ruins it for me. Between our party, we tried chocolate, vanilla, coffee, salted caramel, almond joy, pineapple, rocky road, and mint chocolate. And none really wowed me. I ordered a small split of the coffee and almond joy as the best of the tastes, but ended up throwing half out. If they tweaked the recipe and pulled back the stabilizers while upping the flavors, I'd give it another go, but otherwise Wings is still my go to for ice cream on Oahu. read more

My second visit to Castaways and I was impressed. I spoke with one of the owners and he maintained that they use all natural ingredients - no dyes or preservatives. Ube Coconut was a vibrant purple and vibing with flavor. So was the Holiday Pumpkin Pie...very festive. But both...weren't too sweet. Hours are now 200p till 1000p weekdays though on Fridays, they close at midnight. Weekends they open at 12 noon; closing at 1000p on Sundays and midnights on Saturdays. read more

Great ice cream spot serving ice cream made in house that's not overly sweet, yet still very creamy and delicious! A lot of thought and care goes into this venue--from the high chairs, to the coloring sheets for kids, to the board games--I really appreciated all the details. And the owner was very friendly and nice! read more

Lychee. mochi. Ice cream. Are you kidding me??? That's so perfect. The mochi was not hard at all (literally as fresh as can be like you get from the store) and the lychee flavor was delicate and just a bit tart. The matcha ice cream was delicious as well, a great contrast to the fruity lychee. Definitely an earthy, strong flavor. Employees were friendly and provided samples when I couldn't pick between a couple flavors. Parking might be difficult but you can always just go to longs, get a snack there, then go grab some ice cream afterwards (lmk if that isn't allowed). I love this place and I hope you do too! read more

Happy National Ice Cream Month/Day! Conversation with my son while I drove past Castaways Ice Cream and he mentioned that I would love it there for pandan ice cream, wow.-my son knows me well, haha. I finally had a chance to check out Castaways Ice Cream on a Friyay, date night with my other half. It is so close by for me, that we could even walk it during our future date nights. Parking would be the junk part here but there are lots of street parking available . It was a busy Friday night, non-stop customers which is a great thing, I met owner, Robert/ Dr. Robert, he was very friendly and I got to chat with him a bit but couldn't hear about the meaning behind his business name "Castaways", which I thought was a franchise but not, he is a also a Physician and moved here from Texas with his family. Castaways Ice Cream is made in Hawaii specializes in premium ice cream made fresh in shop and they prioritize in quality over quantity. Observing the decor at Castaway, I like how they have the # of followers they have on social media, ( Facebook & Instagram) displayed near the entrance, the piano which has a note to respect it and only play if you truly know how to play the piano, I want to test my big kids' piano skills, one day to see if they still remembered from taking piano lessons. ( I can't wait to visit for my son/daughter to go on the piano, hehe) & now back to the ice cream, I sampled a few flavors and sad news that pandan wasn't available, more reason to visit! It was hard to decide what flavors to select, but finally ended up with scoop of banana oreo (unique flavor) and coffee & a waffle cone. The verdict: nice and creamy but it was a little on the sweeter side. I hope in the future they will have water cups/provided, although bottled water is for sale. The waffle cone was fresh not stale, I enjoyed it breaking up the pieces and eating with the ice cream. Note, this place does get loud from all the noise coming from everyone talking and enjoying their ice cream. Great addition & spot to the Moilili neighborhood, congrats and welcome Castaways Ice Cream, support local and come by for a scoop, or 2 or 3!! I can't wait to try pandan and other flavors! read more

I work in an office with many foodies where we share our experiences. One of the girls keeps on hounding my to try Castaways Ice Cream (CIC) which opened a few months ago. They had their grand opening on March 22, 2025. Located on the corner of S King St and Isenberg, CIC boasts locally made ice cream. My colleague just raves over the Pandan ice cream. This had me look them up on Yelp where a handful of friends came here and rated them high. I just had to investigate. I scrolled through their photos on Yelp and my eyes stopped on Rum and Raisin. Impressed with what I saw, I decided to make my way here on the 4th of July shortly before 7pm. It was a quiet day evidenced with lots of street parking. CIC, which I found spacious, bright and welcoming, had 2 customers who were just about leaving with their carryout when we arrived. We were greeted by a friendly male staff and I immediately looked at their offerings and noticed several empty spaces. I was looking for rum and raisin, which I saw on the Yelp photo gallery, and Pandan, as recommended my colleague but couldn't see either so I asked the staff. Unfortunately these 2 flavors weren't available and was advised their flavors rotate every 2 weeks. I then looked for flavors that I enjoy but couldn't find mint chocolate chip nor cherry. I had a difficult time trying to decide and the staff offered samples. I tried the lychee with mochi that was just okay and couldn't see myself enjoying a full scoop. I then asked for matcha and this was better. My buddy was waiting for me and didn't want to hold him back longer so I took the plunge and just settled for chocolate chip without sampling it. After paying, we took our cups to a small table, snapped some photos and it was time to dig in. THE VERDICT: I found the ice cream to be very rich and creamy. The matcha was delicious but could have used more of the matcha flavor. Chocolate chip was super creamy but flavor was just okay. I appreciated both ice creams didn't melt quickly. While waiting for my buddy to pay, I took a sample of the waffle cone and sadly it was stale. I noticed they also have prepackaged waffle cone bites and sprinkles for sale by the register. Customer service was probably the best thing of my first visit. The male staff was friendly and patient. Perhaps we were the only customers? As we ate halfway through, more customers walked in. When we left, more people walked in and this time noticed another staff behind the counter assisting customers. Impressive with the foot traffic here. Overall, a somewhat average experience for me where I'd be game for another visit to sample other flavors. I really want to try their rum raisin or the Pandan. 2025 #35 read more

Finally got to Castaways. Parkingbys iffy, especially since there's lots of heavy equipment parked along Isenberg. Fortunately we got a space. Entering Castaways it was pretty uninspiring I couldn't find the price list.. it's on the freezer case. There's no list of flavors either. That's on the freezer case too. They allow you to taste and the people are nice. Lots of flavors. Sitting there eating it felt like they did the minimum, as if they are expecting to not be there.... I thought it was ok, it was a bit expensive. read more

The flavors of ice cream were non traditional couldn't find one that appealed to me I like sort of traditional flavors. People around me seemed to love it. I am picky. The staff was friendly & patient let me try a selection. I decided I'd buy a cookie- to support - the chocolate chip cookie was expensive and really didn't make the cut. The vibe is space is nice place to sit and have conversations etc. read more

Found this place on Yelp and decided to swing by. Walked in and was told we could try any flavor. Looked around a saw flavors such as banana oreo, biscotti, etc. Things you don't normally see in ice cream shops. Tried a bunch and decided on 2 flavors - biscotti and dark chocolate. Both had excellent flavor and texture. I really liked the biscotti with the little chunks of cookie mixed with the creamy ice cream. Went back a few days later and tried a scoop of vietnamese coffee and a scoop of oreo. I would have to say these are my favorite flavors. The coffee is smooth and tastes like a coffee candy. Not too sure about parking as I found a stall right in front on King st. I would definitely recommend stopping by and trying the different flavors. read more

We've been passing this place for a while and saw the now open sign. The stars aligned and we found a parking spot nearby. We tried the mango ice cream in a sugar cone. Good mango flavor. We liked that we were able to taste beforehand. Also tried the Lychee Mochi, chocolate, not as good. They will have different flavors every other day. Support local and try them out. read more

My friend and I decided to go for a well deserved ice cream run after a looong day of work. Upon looking at Yelp for a place nearby, I came across Castaways so we decided to give them a try. The pictures looked so good so we said we need to go here unless we really can't find parking then we would go elsewhere. We were super lucky that two cars were leaving when we got there so we both got parking fairly quickly. The parking is not the best, especially on a weekend. We lucked out and got there right before a mad rush of people came in. They offer you samples, but I didn't take them up on it because I just could not choose what I wanted. I was hoping they had the pandan but was a little bummed to see they didn't have it. I settled for the ube coconut and banana Oreo in a waffle cone. The ube coconut was okay but the banana Oreo was bomb. And the waffle cone was good too. Their prices are reasonable. I got the keiki size which was the perfect amount for me. And my friend got the regular which is HUGE and I'm not even exaggerating. Way too big for me, but if you love ice cream and can eat that much, hey go for it! I definitely want to come back to try more of their flavors! read more

I had such a great experience with my family at Castaways Ice Cream recently! The worker told us they just opened up 4 months ago. We were all so Impressed! First off, the service is amazing... the staff was so friendly and welcoming, and I love that they let you sample as many flavors as you want without hesitation. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. They also embody the aloha spirit... we were greeted with big smiles and the entire time they were so friendly. The worker's attitude definitely was a highlight and made me want to return. All of their ice cream is made in-house, with no dyes, and the fruit flavors are made with real fruit, according to the worker who helped us. My brother tried the pineapple and said it tasted like the actual fruit. I had the cookie dough and mint chip, and both were incredible. The mint chip had big chunks of chocolate, which I liked and the cookie dough was super creamy and rich. Okay size and $wise, portions are HUGE for the price -- two scoops for under $7! They are very generous with the scoop size. My husband and I shared a cup and we still did not finish it!!! There's also tons of seating and even board games if you want to hang out with friends. It's a great space to chill and cool down. My only complaint is that they don't offer free cups of water, you have to buy their bottled water. Not a dealbreaker, but something to note if you're planning to stay a while.... Thankfully I brought my water bottle, so I'd def recommend bringing your own. read more

Castaways: newer ice cream shop in the neighborhood. I reserved my review opinions until I had a chance to try them a few times. And while I like the creaminess of the product and the ever changing list of delicious (especially the fruit filled flavors), feel that there is just little things lacking that would enhance the business. First of all, the decor is sparse. There are a handful of tables and chairs, surfboard on the wall, piano and a comfortable enough air conditioning. Place needs some sound absorbers like plants. When the room is filled especially in the evenings, as it was the first time I came with friends, it was just too loud. Service is friendly and eager to allow you to sample before committing to a flavor(s). Nina handled the crowd like a pro yesterday. No dedicated parking tho that shouldn't be a problem as there is plenty of street parking on Isenberg, King, and Young Streets. Isenberg (Baseball) Park is directly across the street. Would I return? Loving that pandan coconut and mango ice cream flavors! read more

Cool new biz... After a very long wait I had my doubts of this shop opening it finally happened and here we are Castaways Ice Cream. I've drove past here enough to see the sign and was anticipating it all and just in time as the weather starts heating up I was excited to see it all here in McCully. Castaways Ice Cream sits on the corner of South King and Isenberg Street between two parks (Moiliili Neighborhood Park and Old Stadium Park) which makes it a perfect place to grab some treats and as it's all house made including the waffles cups and cones this is some serious eats that they have here. Walking in I liked how it's so nice and spacious and was quite surprised how many varieties of flavors they have and decided on a Milkshake but was torn between two flavors Matcha and Coconut Chocolate Chip so I decided to give them a try and each was SO good not crazy sweet but just have the prominent flavors that I really didn't expect. Watching the ladies scoop after solid scoops fill the cup and see it being smoothed out by a tornado kinda contraption was fascinating and enjoyed watching as it was all just so natural and literally handmade making it so easy to sip and enjoy which is easy at this lovely local biz. Thank you! read more

We were able to sample a few flavors before making our choices at Castaways Ice Cream on the corner of Isenberg and King Sts. The staff was very friendly here. They have a good variety very much like B&R so there is something for everyone. We ended up getting bubble gum, birthday cake, and cookies and cream. The birthday cake was probably the best flavor for us because there were big chunks of yummy cake inside. Delicious! Keiki scoop starts at $4.50. They also have a few claw machines and board games to play. Bottled water and other beverages available for purchase. Good for groups! Street parking in the area nearby. read more

Passed this place all the time but never stopped by until tonight! So glad we did. Got the blueberry small size in a waffle bowl. Reminded me of the blueberry freckle ice cream that I used to always have at the store where Container Store is now in Kahala Mall. Okay, I'm showing my age, but it was the best! The ice cream at Castaways has the richness of a creamy ice cream, yet feels light. Hard to explain. All I can say is that it's really good. My daughter had a scoop of banana and a scoop of chocolate in a cup. Great combo. Service was great. Two sweet courteous young ladies with a smile. They were genuine. Place was clean and the ambience nice and light with soft colors on the walls. Definitely will be back and bringing others with us. read more

Went to dinner with family and my son took me to Castaway's after dinner. Located in Moiliili with street parking. I love this place. The ice cream is superb and the selections are awesome. I hade a strawberry cone, but I forget the actual flavor name. I never order strawberry so I don't know why I picked it but the ice cream was really delicious. My son ordered a flavor called grilled pineapple and that was pretty delicious also. When dining out in town we used to forgo dessert at the restaurant and go to Bubbie's. Now we can go to Castaway's instead. read more

We came on a Tuesday later in the day, 7:30 pm. The store was still open, and wasn't too busy but still decent amount of people in the store. Employees were super friendly and offered samples of flavors. I tried a few and settled on the Ube and Pandan flavors. These are my favorite Filipino flavors, and I was super excited to see they had it available! I really enjoyed their sizing and prices. They have great sizes for great prices! I got a small, and she said you can put whatever flavors as long as it fit in the cup! So I decided to get the two flavors. It was filling and great price for the size, about $6 I believe. The flavors were very flavorful and I really enjoyed it. Definitely would return for icecream again! read more

The entrance is on the corner of Isenberg and King. We found metered parking on Isenberg one building away. We were instantly greeted when we entered the door. It was super quiet inside but really clean. There is a dining area to eat in. There was 32 different flavors of ice cream all out on display. They have the option of ice cream cups, cones, waffle cones or milkshakes. They have a toppings pre-portioned and at the checkout. The guy working there was super nice. He was offered us samples. He explained us the difference between flavors when my son asked questions and even offered us the different add ons. He was super patient with us when we had decision paralysis with all the different flavors. He worked fast but was not pushy at all just really welcoming. I picked a milkshake with banana peanut butter and Ghirardelli chocolate with hot fudge, and Jonny got 2 scoops of Cookie Monster and strawberry. I always look for super thick milkshakes and this place did not disappoint. It was rich with ice creamy goodness. Jonny shared a spoonful of his strawberry and it was milky and reminded me of Dreyers ice cream. He did not share his Cookie Monster, he ate all of it. He did tell me it had a combination of Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookies in it. Great pitstop on a super hot summer day. Would come again. read more

Ice cream in Honolulu, Hawaii... Located on the corner of King Street and Isenberg Street, Castaways Ice Cream took the place of Hula Supply Shop. It's across King Street from Old Stadium Park. It's also across from Cartwright Field on the Isenberg Street side. PARKING: metered street parking. I went on a Sunday when these stalls are free. I actually parked on Isenberg Street, across from First Hawaiian Bank... in front of the park. The interior is very spacious with several tables and chairs for dining in. The colorful surfboard, mounted on the wall is cool. The real piano is waiting for someone to play it! Service was friendly and efficient. I was asked right away if I wanted a sample, but I thought that the customers in front of me should be helped first. Just finish them, then focus your attention on the next person, please! I got a large cup so that I could have three flavors: coconut, pineapple, and pandan with coconut. Delicious! The coconut also had some coconut in it! Yay! Note that there's no restroom available.

We were craving something sweet after dinner, so we headed here for ice cream. Located in the former Hula Supply Shop, Castaways Ice Cream is a new shop located on King Street that offers premium, homemade ice cream. Made fresh with natural ingredients, Castaways has many flavors to choose from including birthday cake, pistachio, strawberry banana, and peanut butter. They also offer milkshakes with or without a cereal infusion. The young staff were efficient and accommodating. I ordered the keiki size of the peanut butter after sampling three different flavors. It's a definite plus to be able to sample unlimited flavors before making your final decision. There is nothing worse than ordering a cup of ice cream and then realizing that the flavor is not what you were expecting! The peanut butter ice cream was rich with a nutty natural peanut flavor. I appreciated that the ice cream wasn't too sweet and was a good blend of creamy and savory. There is ample seating inside and prices and portions are reasonable. Looking forward to trying more flavors! read more

This place is amazing. We passed it heading to another "ice cream" place we wanted to try and made it a vow to return. We actually returned the very next day bc we had to come to town again. We dont like coming to town from Ewa but I think we would for this place. We got there as they were opening and got to meet with the owner. A very kind gentleman about our age. We went during fall break with 6 kids. They were so kind and not irritated that we wanted to sample so many flavors. Patient AF. The kids loved the variety of flavors and the price point really wasnt bad for homemade ice cream. They are very family friendly and have free games and coloring pages to keep the kids entertained. They even have a piano you can play. I can definitely say this will be in our rotation of ice cream expeditions. Unless they want to open location on our side (wink wink). read more

Happiness is just a scoop away. Pop quiz: If I had to eat one food every day for the rest of my life, what would it be? You guessed it. ICE CREAM. Castaways gets my five stars for the following: 1. It's in Moiliili. MY HOMETOWN. My kids and I can walk to Castaways and treat ourselves to something sweet while staying fit. 2. Their premium ice cream is homemade. Selection is daringly extensive. Rum Raisin? Butter Praline Pecan? And who misses White Chocolate from TCBY days? Now you can get it... in an ice cream. 3. Parking is manageable. Metered street parking lines Isenberg and is free after 6:30pm. Nearby parking lot may be another option, but I'm unfamiliar whether fines or tows are enforced. 4. The boys loved the flavors! Unlimited samples offered. Our family of 4 tried the dark chocolate, chocolate chip, white chocolate and cookies & cream. All delicious. Sodas are sold in nearby fridge for floats. 5. Visit them this week and receive special grand opening coupons and promos for every week currently and in April. Prices are fair, portions are decent. Come get your ice cream fix and we can all take a little bit of happiness home with us. read more
