Dippin' dots is a nostalgic treat for me that reminds me of the simpler days. The customer service provided by the male employee here is some of the best I've experienced in a while. Dippin' dots is located by Mr.Cow in Waikele Outlet Mall. There is seating nearby in the shade. The prices are a little high but worth the price! You can choose up to a certain number of flavors depending on the size. I got a small with two flavors for $5.99 before tax. The ice cream is so good! The texture is the best part. The employee offered samples and was very friendly! I will definitely come back, seeing as dippin' dots are hard to come by. read more

Reminds me of my childhood! Dippin Dots hits on such a hot day especially when you're walking around shopping at Waikele Premium Outlets. My only complaint is how expensive dippin dots is now... it comes to $7 for a small cup. Theres a bunch of shaded seats in the outdoor food court area. read more

Growing up, getting Dippin' Dots was a rare and special treat, so any time I get the chance to have it again, I go for it. I only recently discovered there's an actual Dippin' Dots store at the Waikele Outlets (probably because I don't go there too often), but I'm glad I stumbled upon it! I got a large cup with a mix of Rainbow, Cotton Candy, and Hawaiian Crumble, while my girlfriend kept it classic with Cookies and Cream. As soon as I took a bite, that nostalgic feeling hit me hard. There's really nothing else like Dippin' Dots. The tiny frozen beads are just so fun to eat, and the texture is super unique with that cold, melt in your mouth crunch. Out of the flavors I tried, the Hawaiian Crumble was easily my favorite. It had this pineapple crunch flavor that was both refreshing and tropical, perfect for a warm day. My girlfriend also enjoyed her Cookies and Cream, which had a nice creamy taste with chunks of cookie goodness. Sure, the prices are a bit steep, but for the fun, nostalgia, and experience, I think it's worth it. Dippin' Dots isn't just dessert, it's a throwback to childhood in a cup. read more

Dippin' Dots is an iconic dessert shop in Waikele. I remember when I was young, my mom and I would catch the bus just to walk around. Me being a kid just looked forward to eat here so it's nostalgic for me. I got the cookies and cream dippin' dots. It was alright tasting. I thought it would've been actual flavored cookies and cream dippin' dots but it was more so vanilla flavor with cookie chunks. Not really tasting a good cookies and cream mix so I was slightly disappointed. I should've gone with a classic banana split like I used to get when I was younger. Still overall a classic dessert shop, it is on the pricier side though with what you get. It is nostalgic for me but for the price and quality, I would rather go to Walmart to buy dippin' dots ice cream(yes Walmart sells them, i was shocked and excited when I found that out) read more

What's not to love about Dippin' Dots? If it's too expensive, don't buy it!? I used to patronize the now-closed Ala Moana location for years but it seems this is the only surviving store on Oahu. ATMOSPHERE: Located at the Waikele Premium Outlets, they share a space with a neighboring biz. No indoor seating, just communal outdoors, thankfully shaded. There were numerous flavors to choose from, so many that I simply asked if Banana Split was available, which it was! MENU: Ice cream, sundaes and floats. THE GOODS: Banana Split - $5.99 (small) This is the only flavor I've tried and order because it's that damn good! Tastes like the real thing too with no less than four different colors representing chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and banana. And, I've never seen a "banana split" flavor in supermarket freezers which makes this unique to DD. Being in scorching Waikele, the beads melt fast so you gotta pound it down quick which was a slight problem for me as people that know me, know that I take forever to eat as I savor every bite! SERVICE: The sole gal working was friendly and professional. FUN FACT: DD freezers are colder than most, storing them at -40° F. OVERALL: Eating tiny balls of ice cream never gets old. read more

Yum yum yum! Shopping at Waikele Premium Outlets can be tiring considering how big the center is and Dippin Dots is the perfect treat after splurging. Note that the prices start at 6.00 for a small and the flavors are limited. Considering that Dippin Dots is so hard to find I had to have it this one time. Cotton candy was delicious and staff were really nice. Line out the door when I went on the weekend! read more

Dipping dots is expensive for sure and it would be nice to have kama'aina pricing since it's in a tourist shopping center but no matter. The sweet young man that worked 2:15pm on Wednesday the 17th was so sweet and helpful. Glad he wasn't like the reviews said the girl was. I wouldn't be able to keep quiet. Dipping dots were yummy and had more variety than the zoo read more

A group of 7 of us showed up at 5:53pm on 8/13/23 and the girl in there wouldn't open the shop up and had it closed and it wasn't even 6pm yet. Also another group of 5 people showed up right behind us and she still didn't make eye contact or open it. Maybe you should not put you're open until 6pm if you're going to close your shop early!! read more

It was such a big surprise to find this dessert place. Their little ice cream dots are very novel and delicious. Probably not the healthiest thing in the world, but if you wanna treat yourself something sweet every now and then, and happens to be in the mall, this is a good choice for you to go. We ordered the small size, and already felt a lot to share. read more

Girl who work at the count on 1/27/24 Saturday 4pm shouldn't work at service industry. No service mind at all. Maybe she had a bad day but still she needs to provide at least minimum services to customer who walked into the shop with kids. Even my 7 years old kids felt no welcome but dipping dot ice cream is tasty per my kids. read more

I usually get the kiddie size, mint chocolate ice cream and split it with my mister. I've tried other flavors which are good too, but it's always mint chocolate I crave for the most. We sat and ate our d&d at a table right outside and a visitor sounded like she was from Australia? Was amazed and asked? What is it you are eating? That looks quite interesting, like little stones? She had to call her husband to take a look at the "ice cream stones" we were eating. Haha. This is the perfect treat to have when you need to cool down and take a break from shopping. I love d&d and hope they never go away! read more

They have flavors I had never seen before such as rainbow ice and strawberry cheesecake. Service was good!

Located in the middle of the outlet mall. This place can get busy at times so a little mess on the floor and counter areas may occur. They are usually fast in getting you your dripped frozen ice cream treats. It's a good place to escape the heat and rest after you have done tons of shopping. read more

June 12,2023 1130 we got a snack at waikele Dippin'Dots. We experienced a girl with the worst attitude. Very Angry she didn't want to be there. I asked her for a cup and I would make ice water. I'dtold ill pay for it. As she started to turned around she rolled her eyes and shook her head. Told me " no you can not I only have bottle". However there was a fountain for soft drinks and included water. As guest arrived she wouldn't look at them just stood there. No greeting "hi how may I help you"? Nothing. Yes you might a small refreshing treat shop. However I would never recommend tourist or locals to enter in this shop. How embarrassing. read more

I don't understand why Dippin Dots is so expensive and I will probably never know. Somehow whenever my daughter sees a Dippin Dots, I have to get her a large Cotton Candy and Cookies and Cream. It's just ice cream shaped into little balls. read more

So, this is my first time visiting Dippin' Dots in waikele. I really love Dippin' Dots but the place I went to it wasn't to good. The girl that was working that was like rushing me to buy something from her. I was still looking to pick what kind of flavor I would pick. I don't like being rushed because I'm picky with what I get that's why. Like I never knew that the price went up!!! IF it was that pricey i would've went to Ala Moana and get a Large cup for $8 instead of $11. I wasn't to happy with the price too. Plus the large cup doesn't even look like a large more like a size medium because it was shaped like a cone. I thought it would be in a bigger cup but i guess wrong. I really love Dippin' Dots so I'm not giving it less than a 4 star:) Good thing about this place is that you can pick 2 flavors in one cup:D read more

This is honestly a rip off. $6 for this. They don't fill it to the top and it looks smaller than before. And they use these cheap cups. The girl even made a comment that her bosses are strict about servings. Yet, I saw her eating some while I was outside eating my meal. Last time. Don't come here and waste your money. It's literally 6 bites! read more

Oh Dippin' Dots, you bring me back wonderful memories of my childhood. I first ate your delicious dippin' dotty goodness in Korea when I was a weeeee little child...and then there was Dippin' Dots in Ala Moana on the bottom floor. Who else remembers that?? Because I was devastated when they left... There was also a dippin dots cart at the WATERPARK! I don't know if it's there anymore? After a long day of shopping at the outlets I told my mom we NEEDED to end the day with Dippin Dots. Why? Because it's freaking DIPPIN DOTS and it made me think about all the times I begged my parents to take me there when I was a kid. While reminiscing I ordered the small banana split (which is what I always ordered when I was a kid) and my mom got half/half strawberry and vanilla. Prices are a bit steep at $4.25 for a small cup. Although even for a "small" size, I could probably have shared one with her. If you don't mind sharing you could probably get a medium and share since they allow you to get two flavors. Overall it was alright. I definitely liked it more when I was a kid and probably only semi enjoyed it because it brings back fun memories of being a kid. It's pretty expensive and I definitely prefer baskin robins in terms of getting my dessert/icecream fix. It's not bad but definitely more like a reminisce-about-my-childhood type of dessert. Some of you probably know what I mean... read more

Good place to cool down after a long day of shopping! I do love me some Cookies n Cream. But its expensive. $4.50 for a small and $6.50 for a medium.. Blehhh.. Can't miss the booth. It's right in the middle in between Adidas and Vitamin World. read more

I enjoy Dippin' Dots. I think it's so fun to eat. This location is pretty convenient. I never favored Waikele Outlets, because I always seem to suffer from the heat. So seeing this Dippin' Dots kiosk is like seeing a mirage in the desert. So it's like a dessert in the desert. =) I love the Cookies and Cream/Oreo cookie ice cream. My only gripe, which costs them 2 stars, is the price. It's good (nothing fantastic or anything), but, like the reviewer before me stated, the price is obscene. For ice cream...and it's not a generous amount either. My daughter and I wanted to share one. So the small would be worthless between us. So we got the medium sized order...which isn't very big. I just can't believe we spent nearly $7.00 on a ice cream. Did I mention it wasn't very big? I also didn't care for the service. The young girl that worked helped us seemed pretty BLAH! Like I was interrupting her from her busy schedule...I was the only one in line. She was far from busy. She didn't smile, and when I asked for a second spoon, she said "Sure." The container was closer to her, and I thought she was going to hand me one. She didn't. I had to reach across the counter and get it myself. Hmmm. read more

First time here. Hmmmm. Freeze dried ice cream. Interesting concept but very pricy. Taste ok but more of a gimmick. Bought three medium bowls and it was close to $25. Not really worth it. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. Went in and bought two cups for my daughters and a larger size for my mom and I to share. I had never had it before so I asked the sales clerk which flavor she suggested? She did not let us sample. She suggested birthday cake so I said ok. It was horrible. My mom and I each tried one bite of it and didnt like it. I went right back in and kindly asked if we could get a different flavor. The one my youngest got bc we both liked that one. The manager asked me if I had already taken a bite. I said yes. She says bc we both took a bite she can't exchange it. I say "So you mean if I would've said no you would dump it back in???" She says "we just can't bc you took a bite." And WALKS AWAY?! Who does that to a customer??? I just spent over $20 on let's face it- 13 bites of ice cream and you can't let me have a different flavor?? And maybe you dump sold ice cream back into the tubs?? Never again. No thanks. Baskin Robbins it is. read more
