Got introduced to this place by my bf at the time. Anyway this place Is a must visit but unfortunately is open only on Thursday-Sunday but definitely a must try if you're in the area. Just a tip it doesn't always open on time either. Just a little tiny window that generates little bowls of amazingness. There isn't any tables or inside dining available. Staff isn't the friendliest but still worth a try. I Had the pa'i'ai bomb which consists of fresh kalo pa'i'ai, nui flakes, and nui cream, paired with your choice of ice cream. I went with the ube as well as one with haupia. You can choose kulolo, haupia, ube, strawberry, or cookies and cream. They'll run you about $12 per bowl. Plenty of parking available in the lot as well as on the side streets. The pa'i'ai here is sooooo good. It's so smooth and chewy in texture. I plan on frequenting this place again and again to get my fix.
Whenever I come out to the Westside, kalo bombs is on my list. My friend visits from LA and loves to come here. I tried the new kalo mochi bites, so fresh and hot outta da fryer! Really liked those, more mochi than usual poi donuts in the ring. We love it so much be got it as our pre lunch ice cream. We've come to late in the past where they would be sold out for the day by say 1pm.
I have been wanting to try this place for so long qnd I finally got to try them today! Their hours are very limited so make sure to plan accordingly if you want to go (keep in mind that they will close earlier if they sell out)! The service was good, extremely friendly! Theres a decent amount of parking so there shouldn't be an issue there. It's grab-n-go but they do have a bench on the side of the storefront where you can sit and enjoy your desserts. I got the keiki bomb with ube ice cream which let me just say, the ube ice cream and pa'i 'ai combo is top tier!! The texture of the pa'i 'ai with the creamy ice cream makes for a perfect sweet treat after a nice day at the beach! I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a yummy dessert spot!
Me and the best friend went here on a sunny day around 1pm, it was a hot weekend so we wanted to cool down and support more local businesses. Since we live on the west side, we are much closer to Kalo Bombs than everyone else that lives in town hehe. Its located in this brown building where Country side cafe is located and right next to Deluxe nail and spa, you will find a tiny window on the left side of the building and you will see butterfly wings painted on the wall where the shop is located. The line wasn't too bad, we waited only 10minutes but I was observing and I only see one guy working there. I give him props because its very hard to run the whole operation by yourself especially dealing with possible impatient haoles and locals lol. Anyway, you just wait in line, order, then you stand there and wait for your order to made for you on spot. We both ordered the Pa'i'ai bomb and as for the ice cream scoop choice, I got the Kuliouo scoop and my friend got the Haupia scoop. I actually I really liked the coconut cream he used for drizzle! It compliments well with the pa'i'ai! It feels great to support local business especially when their products are locally made here! Will be back here again after a beach day!
Heard about this place but haven't had a chance to visit since I live in town. Came here after spending the day at Makaha Beach. Decided to spoil myself with a tasty cold treat! Kalo Bombs is located right off of Farrington Highway close to the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Center. Don't drive to fast or you'll miss it! They have lots of free shared parking spaces right in front of their spot. Ordering is easy! We came here during the weekday and after the late lunch hour so we were lucky not to run into any crowds. The girl behind the ordering counter was the sweetest. We ordered our Kalo bombs, took some yelp worthy photos and enjoyed them outside in the shade. The kalo bomb is the perfect treat.. not to sweet and the perfect texture. I wish they had a town location but the drive out here was worth it!
Hours are already pretty limited, but sometimes they close even earlier/randomly because they're sold out...that being said, if you're able to go and GET something, it's super worth it! All the toppings and ice cream pair so well together. Definitely a must stop if you're ever west!
Kalo bomb is located in Waianae, I got to try this little hole in the wall after hiking the pink pill box. There isn't much on the menu now but still worth trying! My friend and I ordered the Pa'i 'Ai bomb with haupia Dave's ice cream. The Kalo was sooo soft like mochi and the haupia ice cream complemented it so well. It was very delicious and refreshing. I didn't care for the coconut flakes so maybe next time I'll skip it. If you bring your own spoon you can get a dollar off your order!! Since we were the first ones there, service was very quick. There is seating on the side of Kalo bomb to enjoy your sweet treat. The painting of moon phases is very beautiful and the colorful taro leaf. I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area!
Perfect sweet treat for a hot day! Not too sweet just right. We tried their best seller and loved the combination of everything. A must try when you're on this side of the island!
This place is such a treat. The Pa'i'ai, the haupia ice cream, the coconut cream - yum! Definitely worth the drive. We always go at noon to make sure we get our fix before they sell out. Parking has never been bad either.
If you're on the west side- you have to stop by Kalo Bombs! They specialize in Pa'i 'ai which is made from kalo (taro). Pa'i 'ai is the stage before poi when you're pounding kalo. If you're the type of person who would describe their perfect dessert as "not too sweet" pa'i 'ai is the perfect add-on to balance out the sweetness of ice cream or acai. Kalo Bombs is a grab-n-go, takeout only spot. There's ample parking and a few benches to sit and enjoy your Pa'i 'ai treat alongside the establishment, but I highly recommend taking your kalo bomb to a nearby beach to enjoy. Kalo Bombs sources their ingredients locally. The ice cream is locally made and include flavors like haupia, ube, kūlolo, strawberry, blueberry cheesecakes, and cookies and cream. I tried their Pa'i 'ai bomb with haupia (coconut) ice cream, fresh pa'i 'ai (4oz), niu (coconut) cream and niu flakes. Visually, there was more to be desired- but that's on me for picking a white ice cream paired with the dully colored pa'i ai. Looks aside, it is so delicious! The haupia ice cream is perfectly balanced with the pa'i 'ai making for the best "not too sweet" dessert and the coconut shavings add great texture. It's soft, creamy, not too sweet, and has 3 different textures- the perfect combination. They do have specials that are very colorful and visually appealing. Look out for their whiteboard where they write their weekly specials, or follow them on social media to see what new things they will be offering. I was surprised to see a savory bowl as a special- with laulau, lomi salmon, and pa'i 'ai! I can't wait to try out their acai with pa'i 'ai next. If there's one thing about me, it's that I will always be the biggest advocate for locally sourced everything. Kalo Bombs is an innovator in the Hawaiian foods space and I can't wait to see what they do next!
I've been wanting to try this place for so long but I've been hesitant to make the drive. Luckily, I finally got to try them at the Oahu Foodies Feastival this past Friday. The service was friendly and quick. Their ube bomb was the BOMB! It has Pa'i'ai with ube ice cream and ubae cookie crumbs topped with ube drizzle and niu flakes. It satisfied my sweet tooth, without being too overly sweet. I enjoyed all the different textures from the creamy ice cream to the crunch of the cookies. It was big enough for me to share, but it was hard to! I enjoyed every last bite. I know now that they're definitely worth the drive to the West side. I'm already craving my next kalo bomb. Support local!
As I'm enjoying my Mackie from The Sugar Hut I see this sign Kalo Bombs! Where have you been all this time?!? What an amazing combination creation that supersede many sweet treats in so many ways...it's just brilliant!! I got the Pa'i'Ai Bomb with Ube Ice Cream and it's life changing!! So fresh and yummy it's your choice of Ice Cream topped with fresh Kalo Pa'iAi and Niu Cream and Flakes (Coconut). Along the side of the building is a long bench with a beautiful mural to capture that shot to show off all that freshness, I was so at my happy place. They do sell out so follow them on Instagram @kalobombs but please support local as this is just something so special!! Thank you!!
Location: The shop is located in a shopping center near Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center. There is a few parking spaces in front and more parking spaces behind the shopping center. Hours: They open at 12pm daily but sell out around 2-3pm. Food: They offer pa'i ai with Dave's ice cream and coconut cream. It is such a delicious combination. I highly recommend the Pa'i 'Ai Bomb with Haupia (coconut) ice cream. Cost: The Pa'i 'Ai Bomb cost $10. Follow them on Instagram for updates on hours of operation.
Came straight from Aulani. Doc suggested Kalo Bombs in Waianae and it was an expensive yet delightful cold treat on a very hot felt like summer day. Doc chose the $15 Cinnamon Paiai and I took the $9 plain one scoop of kulolo ice cream. Thanks Doc, it was yum! Staci-lei's review suggested taking it to eat at a beach and that's exactly what we did. When I first dated hubs I used to think ooh, I can get kulolo from his parents store on Kauai. Not easy to find or get. Never materialized. It's been one of my 3 favorite flavors almost half a century read more
Located in Waianae, this place is at the very end/corner of the parking lot. They have a whiteboard that displays their menu along with the pricing. Pros: -friendly staff! They let us try the kulolo ice cream which was tasty! -free parking lot -accept credit -the size large is big, so you could probably share it unless you are super hungry Cons: -n/a Other: -Some folx were enjoying their order on the side of the building (looked like a bench), but there were no table seating indoors or outdoors that we saw so we ate ours in our vehicle. read more

This place is too good! Something different than your usual ice cream or shave ice. I was new to eating pa'i 'ai so when I tried it as a kalo bomb, I was so impressed! We got the pa'i 'ai bomb with coconut ice cream and I love how the pa'i 'ai isn't too sweet! It has a really thick creamy texture like poi and it goes great with the coconut ice cream and the niu cream and flakes. It's a pretty big portion as well! Can definitely make you full and satisfied. This is a perfect treat to get after a hike or the beach! read more

Looked for something to cool us down whilst on the west side and wanted to try this unique Hawaiian twist to a basic ice cream place. What makes this place different is the topping of pounded taro- texture is not exactly like poi but similar to chewy mochi. Not much taste by itself but it's meant to be a texture topping. Overall this place was okay. We felt like it was alike overpriced. Small little shack and small parking area. Things could be all customizable to what you like. Good for the experience but not sure if I'd return. read more

This place is amazing! Super good ice cream, really good flavor, and great toppings. The ice cream comes fast served in either large or small. There was no line, we got our ice cream in under 3 minutes. The place in total is very small and has outdoor siting on the side. Overall very good ice cream and pounded taro! read more
Here's a seriously addicting treat to try: Kalo Bombs! This reminded me of a hyper local version of an acai bowl, or even the sweet lady of Waiahole dessert from Waiahole Poi factory, but BETTER. Kalo Bombs is a small little storefront in Waianae that serves up fresh pa'i 'Ai mixed with other treats to make up one mean bowl of goodness. My husband found them on IG and we have been wanting to try ever since. We had our chance this past Sunday as we were cruising down the west side. We arrived at around 230p on a Sunday to a pretty healthy line out front. We noticed some of their items were already sold out, but not all, so we wanted to give it a go! We ordered and shared the Fruit Bomb which was pa'i 'Ai, coconut flakes, haupia ice cream and bananas. The bowl is a little pricey at $11.50, but the quality of the pa'i 'Ai is outstanding. The first bite was heavenly. So earthy, sweet, delicious. The bananas really set the whole thing off, too! I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it considering I don't care for poi, and kulolo is hit or miss for me. But this pa'i 'Ai was delicious! They have different specials on a board, including what sounded interesting to me: Oreo Bomb and a bomb that even had smoked meat! I would be curious to try the savory variation. I truly appreciate a place like this that serves up some unique treats with a true local flavor. It appeared as though those in line came from the beach, and some of them looked like they made the trek all the way from town. Be sure to stop by and try a Kalo Bomb your next time in Waianae! Also remember, they close early if they sell out, so the earlier the better. read more

I've had Kalo Bombs on my radar for quite some time, and since my friends and I were making the trip out to Yoks, we decided to stop there along the way. The parking lot is a bit small, but we were able to find a stall. The line was also a little long, but it was definitely worth the wait. I order the pa'i ai bomb, which had a scoop of pa'i ai, haupia ice cream, and coconut flakes. It's pretty similar to the sweet lady of Waiahole, but I personally liked the pa'i ai better than the kulolo. The pa'i ai adds a nice balance to the sweet ice cream, and it has a soft and chewy texture. This will definitely be my go-to stop when I'm on this side of the island. read more
I love my Kalo so you know I'll be here. Minus a star cause my kulolo ice cream was too hard. She told us was extra frozen. Had to wait little while before the spoon can scoop the ice cream. But after the was perfect. Almost was going eat all the paiai but opted to wait. Sometimes I eat poi and ice cream and home oh so good. For those visiting from mainland wanting to try kalo or Poi but not sure. Try this place here in a dessert. The hawaiian acai bowl lol read more

Finally made it, been wanting to come here since they opened but every time I pass get long line and I'm not a fan of standing in long lines even tho we all know if get long line buggah is winnahz. got lucky today no line when I was heading out of the coast so i pulled in to enjoy my favs in 1 bowl ice cream and pa'i'ai. Had the special of the day Strawberry Banana Bomb soo ono with kulolo ice cream. Honestly I could go for just the fruits, pa'i'ai, coconut sauce and coconut flakes topping w/o ice cream. I gotta ask about that next time. Hope to make it back one day when get ulu bombz and the strawberry short cake special if it's not a permanent menu item by than...hint hint Located in maili next to Country Cafe and downstairs from the bar. They have cute metal sporks for sale too. Best part about that "if you remember" to bring your spork you can get a $1 off your purchase. Thanks fo da ono treats finally got my fix cant wait til I'm in da coast again fo moa read more
I am a huge fan of kalo. Everything about it just has me like the heart eye emoji. Kalo bombs really brings it! If you've got Pa'i'ai, I will come to you OK?! Of course it was friends on all social media platforms that brought this business to my attention. Kalo, pa'i'ai, dessert, its a done deal. I had an appointment in Kapolei and decided that it was close enough to have a reason to check this place out. When I entered their location in my maps, I was wrong lol. 23m drive still a ways, whoa! Still, I ventured on. For sweets, I will. So, to say it was a journey would be pretty accurate IMO. I'm not very familiar with spots this far West, but with maps it was easy. Its on the main road so nothing confusing at all. Parking is a plenty so no probs there. I went early so maybe that could help. Only because of my appointment I was there before opening. By 11am, the line was already well established. Don't sleep on it, especially if you have to travel far. You don't wanna get there and they've sold out! The regular size is easily shared. Might be a good idea instead of trying to bring it home. I ate what I could when I got to the car but I still had 75% left and tried to rush home so my fam could have a taste too. It wasn't the best idea because when I threw it in the freezer, the pa'i'ai became hard so I had to leave it out til that thawed enough... It was still good, just harder to enjoy. Lesson learned. Eat all or bring the G gang! Since pa'i'ai isn't easy for me to access I had to pick some up for later. We finished it as soon as the container was opened. So ono! Gotta get the bigger container next time. Overall, I like this place. Its just not convenient for me. My Dr would probably say that's for the best. I never would've put pa'i'ai with a dessert, but it works. I say check it out at least once! read more
#20 for 2021 Pa'i'ai Bomb with kūlolo ice cream is a winner! Able to taste various textures, natural sweetness, slight crunchiness, and creaminess. Ingredients tasted very fresh. Made with love and tastes refreshing. Ono! I've pounded pa'i'ai before which takes a lot of time, love and care. Perfect for an afternoon treat or after swimming. I was done eating mines before we reached home. My son wanted blueberry bomb with blueberry cheesecake ice cream. His order also included pa'i'ai, kūlolo, niu creme, and niu flakes. He said it's good and bad meaning blueberry bomb is yummy, yet he's too full to finish his dessert. He agreed when he arrived home, we'll cover and place it in the freezer for him to enjoy later today. If you're in Waianae, must try one! Support and buy local. read more
Kalo Bombs is on Farrington Hwy. across from Mailiili ( almost spelled out Moiliili ) Beach. On the Tamura's side of a two-story building, it is a take out place with a window for placing one's order. Fair amount of parking for the four or five establishments that share the structure...in front and in back. There is bench seating (2) adjacent to Kalo Bombs fronting Deluxe Nails & Spa. Menu is limited but you can make your own or select a special Bomb...I chose the Pa'i'ai Bomb. Firstly, it was filling. If you go after lunch...unless you have a large appetite...you will bomb your stomach and quite possibly the toilet. The Pa'i'ai is as reviewers on Yelp mentioned, a cross between Poi and Kulolo. And as someone wrote; the Pa'i'ai cuts some of the sweetness from the ice cream - a choice amongst Haupia ( my afternoon selection), Kulolo, or Ube. Coconut cream and flakes top off this dessert. Did I not mention that I like coconut/coconut-flavored food items?! A caution to all diabetics: the Pa'i'ai Bomb is full of sweetness. read more

Ayeeee this place *is* pretty bomb! I've heard that Kalo Bombs was one of the best places on the west side to get dessert, if not, the best, so after my haircut appointment in Ko Olina, I decided to make the drive over. Going towards Yokes and Makaha, the shop is found on the mauka (same side as the mountains) side of the road in the same building as Countryside Cafe right before Waianae Comp. It's a walk-up window kind of place, with a simple menu of different pa'i'ai (think of it like the sweet version of poi) combinations. I ended up getting the: *pa'i'ai bomb with haupia ice cream ($12): sticky, sweet, with creamy coconut flavor, this was satisfying for a hot day. *strawberry shortcake bomb ($14.50): with strawberry ice cream, pa'i'ai, coconut cream and flakes, pound cake, fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and strawberry drizzle, this creation is strawberried out to the max. Pretty good! This definitely hit the spot on a hot day on the West Side; glad I got to try! read more

Kalo Bombs is located in the big brown building that is also home to Countryside Cafe and Staxx, a small walk up window to order and go. Usually there is a long line but it goes really fast and from the times I have gone everyone is practicing social distancing and wearing masks. What is really amazing is the Kalo that is grown all around the place. There are so many different kinds. I like to sit on the side and enjoy the view while I'm eating my Kalo bomb. The Bombs are flavorful packed with pa'i'ai. I love to get mine with Nutella for that chocolate fix! Pa'i'ai with ice cream is a great way to beat the heat. Bottom line: Kalo Bombs is the bomb! Just a tip: I would recommend following them on IG or Facebook for updates because they do sell out before closing time! read more
Delicious! I saw this place on my friend's IG story a few days ago, and we happened to be driving on the west side and I noticed the store, so we made it a point to visit when they opened at 12pm. They opened a little bit earlier, but by the time it was 12, there was already a line - a great sign of a good business! We got the Keiki Bomb ($7- 6oz) which comes with Haupia or Kulolo ice cream pa'i'ai, coconut cream, and coconut shavings, along with a 1/2 pound of pa'i'ai ($10) to take home for my sister. The Keiki Bomb was delicious - the ice cream wasn't too sweet but was still extremely rich and refreshing, and the pa'i'ai (which I've never had before) helped to cut some of the sweetness of the ice cream and coconut cream, and had an interesting texture - thicker and chunkier than poi, and not sour like poi. read more
Delicious, and so filling. My first time trying pa'i ai, and I would eat it again. Just the right amount of sweetness when you eat it with ice cream and the other toppings. A bowl is more than enough for 2. read more

Thank you for stopping by, we appreciate your business and hope to…
Quick and friendly service! They were kind enough to wrap my order to go to ensure I didn't make a mess in the car. Lol! Ordered the keiki bomb, which consists of paiai, ice cream, coconut cream, and coconut flakes. Amazing! Perfect treat for the scorching Saturday! Even my friend that doesn't eat anything taro devoured his! That's saying something! Great local place that we need to support! If you're down on the west side and need something cool, hit them up! read more

Got the Pa'i'ai Bomb for $10 ($12.04 total with tax) with acai. So good and would definitely come back. It's not overly too sweet and felt pretty light. The texture was smooth with the poi, everything about the texture was amazing. Highly recommend if you're a huge fan of pa'i'ia! The Kalo bomb ($5)on the right was pretty good. Had everything besides the ice cream flavor and it's pretty good for its price! You just order at the window and the menu is outside. They also had a bench to sit to look at all the Kalos around the store. Parking is also available as well there! They open everyday from 12pm until they sell out. So go before 8pm! For sure would come back to try the other flavors, since the time we went there, they only had acai. Coming back since it's close by and its also near the beach so you can get a sweet treat after a swim read more

My favorite west side treat! Their poi and ice cream combo is amazing! Try to get some before they run out for the day.. Support local businesses! read more
Came here after a hike to try it out since I was recommended to try this place out. It is located in Waianae, the same lot where The Beach House by 604 is located. Never really knew what this was until I got there, their menu was very informative and they gave translations for their menu items (educating everyone on Olelo Hawaii). To sum it up, it's Kalo (taro) that is served on top of ice cream or you can order the Kalo by itself. I ended up trying the Pa'i 'Ai Bomb with Ube Ice Cream and extra Crushed Oreo topping. The Kalo blended really well with the ice cream and it was super good. I just wished that the Kalo to Ice Cream ratio was even as you get more of the ice cream than the Kalo. They have other items on their menu and the combinations for the Kalo Bombs are endless as you can customize it on your own. I do want to comeback and try more of the different flavors. If you are ever in the Waianae area, give this place a shot. You can also order the Kalo Bomb itself and eat it with your own ice cream. read more

Not sure if there's new owners but there's some new faces. Their customer service is way better, and they're nicer. However the paiai- was junk! It tasted like it was old and kinda hard. I knw that wasn't fresh!! And you could even tell by the color. Like when poi is old it has that brownish color. I don't know it was def not good tho! I've noticed there hasn't been long line like before read more
They don't disappoint in taste! We tried the specials and the regular Pa'i Ai with Haupia ice cream, Niu cream and flakes. Location is in the West side of Hawaii. We love coming to Wainae for the best Kalo bomb ever!!! Not too far for Makaha Beach park. Everything we ordered was tasteful and scrumptious!!! read more
