If you're tired of paying overpriced resort dessert at the Hilton, I found a spot not too far away. It's a 5 minute walk. Here's my take: Food (4 stars) + Toasted marshmallow gelato--absolute highlight! Imagine a perfectly roasted marshmallow in gelato form. (5 stars) + Nutella gelato--creamy, rich, and perfect for hazelnut lovers. (4 stars) ~ Passion fruit gelato--too tangy, not the best choice. (3 stars) Service/Ambiance (4.5 stars) + One girl was working there and we were impressed with her work ethic. She is calm, efficient, and happy to let you sample. + Portion sizes are generous--double scoops can feed 2.5 adults easily! + Late evening and no crowd--this spot's a hidden gem. Overall, 4.5 stars! If you're strolling through Honolulu, skip the passion fruit--but you can't miss that marshmallow magic! read more

Located on Ala Moana Blvd across from the Hilton Hawaiian Village and Island Market... It's kind of hidden because it's at the lower level or basement level but it's literally only a few steps down... I'm not much of an ice cream eater but really enjoyed the salted caramel gelato here. They have so many options and even offer the Dole whip (if you don't make it to the Dole plantation and want the whip...stop in here). Staff were very friendly and service was fast. Prices are reasonable and we definitely recommend! read more

Gelato & Chill - The inside is super cozy - Gelato Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Gelato Chill is a nice quaint place. Seating and small tables are available. You can ask for a sample or two of the gelato flavors. The gelato samples that I tried were on the sweet side. There are many, many different flavors to try from at Gelato & Chill. I decided to try the Dole Whip soft serve in pineapple and vanilla swirl. It was a nice creamy and tart combination. During the grand opening celebration, you receive 10% off. There was one employee at the time of our visit. She was pleasant and informative. 5/5 service. read more

Really good gelato. Great selection. They do shut down the snow machine early, we went there about an hour before closing. Staff is friendly. The place is nice and clean. read more

This gelato joint is pretty new and is at the Ala Moana end of Waikiki. Clean, bright and loaded with different gelato flavors and options (they also have shakes, soft serve and Dole Whip), I hope this place sticks around! It's not quite visible from the street since it's at a sunken level beneath the Canterbury Place Condominiums, but foot traffic is a sure shot to spot this place. Parking is at a premium in this area, so walk if you can. The shop is usually run by one worker, but they're efficient, friendly and quick. Tables inside and outside, so take your pick.. read more

We went here after eating at Kan Sushi. There we were tables and chairs to sit. It was difficult to decide what flavors to get due a huge selection. Employee gave us samples of flavors that we wanted to try. Our order was strawberry cheesecake and banana milk. From Amanda and Felix YT video on Kan Sushi, it mentioned that banana milk flavor was influenced by BTS Jungkook who loves banana milk drink. read more

Great place for dessert after dinner. The staff were very friendly. Nice small place to enjoy your dessert after dinner. There is a big selection of local and seasonal flavor ice cream. I had the guava and banana milk gelato. I tried the pumpkin flavor which was yummy. I got 2 scoops instead of 3 because I was full from dinner. If you bring your receipt from Kans Sushi you will get 10% off which is great. read more

The workers were so friendly and so patient with me and my friends when we came in after kan sushi. We sampled a few flavors and they have a lot to choose from! Love that there were plenty of choices. Apparently you get discount if you came from kan sushi upstairs, which was a nice surprise! It's nice and cozy inside. I liked my gelato. I got the strawberry cheesecake in the waffle cone. Definitely liked their waffle cones too! read more

I've always passed by this place but never had the chance to step in, and finally got that chance yesterday. There's a wide variety of gelato flavors and the workers were really helpful. I had the hazelnut coffee flavor, which comes with actually coffee bean bits, and milk & cereal. Both flavors were delicious! Looking forward to trying more flavors in the future! Check em out! read more

Gelato & Chill - The perfect name for this lovely gem located right below Kan Sushi & Kayak Cafe. A big banner or sign up front would help others see this place more. Comfy chairs and nice decorations inside. Over 40 different gelato flavors to choose from! A flavor for everyone.. We would have never know about it if not for dining at Kan Sushi, where they told us about this gelato place and got 10% off the order by showing our receipt. There was the most friendly and sweet worker named Garrett who let us sample before picking our flavors and chatted with us. He even asked us for our feedback for future flavors and we told him Earl Grey, Dragonfruit, Ube, and Hojicha would be unique gelato flavors. Double Scoop ($7.75) - Lavender Honey Crumble, Golden Eagle, & Whiskey Buttershots Very smooth, rich, and creamy. All flavors were delicious. My favorite was definitely the Lavender Honey Crumble, which is a flavor I've never seen before! The lemon crumbles goes so well with the lavender honey flavor. What a creative flavor. There's a stamp card too! We will definitely be back again! Thank you! read more

Friendly and helpful service. Be careful to check if gelato is frozen enough for your taste. Some were too warm (this soft) for my liking. Many ways to have your selections served: in a cookie sandwich, waffle cone, dish and with toppings. Enjoy! read more

This place has the most flavors of any gelato place I've seen: 38! I came on a Friday afternoon around 6pm, and I was the only customer for a while. I ordered Toasted Marshmallow and really liked it; it tasted like s'mores without the chocolate. Their gelato is flavorful and dense, as any good gelato should be. And I think their pricing is reasonable, compared to other places. The service was nice, although it was difficult to hear them, because the music is rather loud inside. I also liked the décor; the place is relatively new. If you luv gelato, I highly recommend this place. read more

Large selection of flavors (about 50) Some of the best gelato I ever had. Staff was friendly. $10 for 3 scoops. Well air conditioned The place is on a basement level so hard to find. read more

I only come here because we got lied to. On the website it says they close at 10 which in fact they do. We walked in at 9:43 and was told by a women with black hair fairly young that they were closed... when we mentioned they closed at 10 she said "yeah sorry I just don't feel good". Which is lies. All the gelato was still out. We waled there an back to our place before they closed... they had 2 people there so you couldn't put a scoop in a cup and sell it ??? read more

Sweetest girl helped us at the front to try out the samples, give recommendations, and order! We came at the end of the night, and she gave us 3 free chocolate chip cookies. I loved trying the banana ice cream! I eventually settled for a Dole Whip which was just as expected. She gave a generous amount and a perfect swirl. Great place to check out- right across from HHV :) read more

Amazing service and gelato !! Comfortable chairs too and you can sit outside or inside.

This place was right below a place I ate dinner so I had to stop because who doesn't love Gelato?! They had a ton of tropical flavors but I'm a chocolate lover so I ended up with the salted caramel chocolate. The inside is pretty cool. Seats to hangout if you wanted but I grabbed mine to go. My only critiques are the wood spoons they give you samples on and the amount of the sample made it a little tough to tell the flavor because you taste wood trying to try the sample. The other, the waffle cone was a little on the stale side. Salted Caramel Chocolate - 9/10 Waffle Cone - 7/10 They have tons of flavors to pick from and the quality seems good. They offered other things and I will return to try the cookies! read more

First day open, an indy store that could be a chain someday. Super friendly and enthusiastic staff. I sampled three of the sorbettos, and each was way above expectations - clean strong flavors that highlighted the star ingredient, perfect silky frozen texture. So, peach sorbet takes you to a level beyond just eating a peach. If they can maintain this quality level long term, a sure hit. read more

We've lived in a Hawaii for a long time and we have always been looking for a place that provides wholistic experience including the authenticity of gelato and the welcoming environment. The person who served us was Erin and if you ever get to meet her she is so sweet and helpful and allowed us to take our time in choosing our flavors. Erin truly made this experience memorable. 100% would go again. read more

This Place is the best place ever and one of the workers WAS SO NICE and was easily the best experience ever. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!

This was a chance run in and I was not disappointed! The gelato was delicious and they gave such generous scoops! The servers were kind and were ready to serve us samples, I regret not trying them all! The place itself is a cool quiet place to relax and take some time out of the heat. Definitely coming back! read more

Located below Kan Sushi. They have 30+ flavors of delicious gelato and sorbet to choose from and let you sample upon request. The price and serving is generous. I really enjoyed the Roca and Lava Flow, while my sis enjoyed the Lavender Honey Crumble and Sugar Free Chocolate. If you dined at Kan Sushi that day, don't forget to show them your receipt to get 10% off your order. Definitely recommend! read more

Another amazing little spot in Waikiki! Perfectly hand made gelato ice cream with so many amazing flavors! Korean style shave ice and the most delicious cookies on the island! Watch out Waikiki, this place is amazing!! Walking distance from the Hilton Hawaiian Village and Doubletree hotels and surrounding condos.... And well worth the walk! The staff was extreme friendly and patient as I tried multiple flavors. This is definitely my new spot!! Relaxing cozy ambiance will make you never want to leave!! read more

They have lots of flavor options to choosefrom and you can taste them first. Pleasant staff. But pricey.

So I guess I came at a bad day because this was not their best day to be opened. I guess they had a freezer shortage and had like one fifth of the options they normally have. The staff was nice and they did the best they could. Gelato was good but this took 25 minutes with no one in line. read more

Rude worker. The girl messed up our order and over charged us. She would not fix it or give us a refund. The gelato was also not very good quality and you can get better elsewhere. The flavors didn't really taste like what they were supposed to. read more

And the story plays just like this. My buddy and I finish a game of grass volleyball down at Kapiolani park. We're hungry; voracious even. We get dinner at Carp Dori. We're full but not can't have dessert type of full. We look up some dessert spots open near us and boom, it's Gelato & Chill. I scrolled through the images and was intrigued. Immediately I knew that this was where we had to go. We walked down the steps just to find a sign that said "we'll be back soon!" Shocked and slightly frustrated, we decided to sit and wait until someone came. Just a few minutes later, a worker came back to the door apologizing for making us wait. She opened the door and let us into the empty gelato spot. There were so many different flavors and options to choose from! Luckily we were graced with three samples each. After asking the helpful worker, I decided that a single scoop of vanilla would fix my sweet treat craving. I'll be honest, it wasn't the best gelato I've ever had but it surely wasn't close to being the worse. It was creamy and fluffy but the vanilla tasted just a tad artificial. All in all this spot is great! They even sold some cookies too which was nice. Id totally recommend it if you're walking around Waikiki or near the area! read more

Friendly service and amazing flavors! The gentleman who helped us was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Everything is made in house and by them. And as he said, there is literally a flavor for everyone. Reasonably priced for the quality as well! We got the lava flow and the salted caramel chocolate swirl. Both were on point! read more

I've been dying to gelato and chill for ages and now it's finally open :) The staff were very nice and offered samples and the strawberry fields bingsu did not disappoint, although the serving size was massive. Bring friends and share. The ambiance is also nice, they're always playing absolute bangers and their light fixtures are fun to look at. The spoons are cute and compostable and you do be able to gelato and chill here!!! No lies were told. read more

I'm moving off island and had to move into Waikiki for a week so I found some places to try. Based on the delicious sounding flavors and high reviews I was really excited to try it. I happen to walk by yesterday and was thrilled to see that it was really like a block away from my hotel. However, many of the dishes were empty, and I was told that some of their popular flavors were not available and wouldn't be available for another week. I don't know what's going on there, but I tried the lilikoi and the guava and I have to say I didn't love either one of them. They both tasted just too intense or too sweet for me. I tried one more flavor and I can't even remember what it was. So I ended up with a single scoop of chocolate and strawberry mochi. The chocolate was pretty good but the strawberry mochi which was supposed to be a vanilla base tasted like almost nothing with spits of strawberry syrup and some emoji pieces in it. I probably only ate 1/10 of this and just threw away the rest. I would say it was very affordable, but I really had no desire to eat more. Which is a bit of a shocker for someone like me I am highly disappointed, but kind of relieved that I won't need to go back for the rest of the week while I'm staying close by. read more

Love.. so many flavours. I got mango coconut, li hing mui, banana milk and Oreo. Recommend if travelling to Hawaii. Good price and such a cute place. The worker was so nice. Her fav flavor was Nutella really good. Locally owned :)) read more
