    Whenever in Hawaii, Lappert's is a must! Definitely a true staple here! We love all the flavors from Kona Coffee to Cookie Dough, to Macadamia Nut! All of the flavors are delicious. Customer service is great, offering free samples and such!

    Lappert's is located in Waikiki, near the Hilton Village. They offer scoops, sundaes and even freebies! Lappert's gave away free sundaes for teachers for teachers appreciation week and for mothers on mother's day. How sweet is that? The ice cream flavors are so creative. Each ice cream offers a thick, rich and even luxurious bite. The prices are a bit high compared to their competitors, but you're paying for the real stuff. The real good stuff. Service is friendly! The line was out the door when I went, yet the staff kept their smiles. The location is small and doesn't offer much space to sit or stand, but a great grab-and-go hotspot. Would come again to try their coffee flavors!

    Split scoop of Ooey Gooey Pineapple Cake and smores ice cream
    Maansi S.

    I tried the Ooey Gooey Pineapple Cake and the Smores flavor. The ice cream was okay, the quality didn't match the price. It tasted medium quality wise rather than high quality for the price and portion. There's limited seating so I recommend a pick up and go if you plan to try this while in Waikiki.

    Came here on my trip to end the night with something sweet. There was a line and I wasn't at all surprised. The service was stellar, there were 3 ladies rotating groups and one at the register. Their chemistry was superb getting people through and still maintaining patience with those who wanted samples. The inside was cute but again, crowded. I got the macadamia nut ice cream with the haupia ube on their classic waffle cone. I couldn't commit to a double scoop so it was nice they offer a half and half single scoop. Both flavors were great, my boyfriend got a single scoop vanilla bean. No complaints there, really hard to mess up vanilla. Overall, had a great experience. Would come back on my next trip to Oahu ^_^

    Lapperts is famous in Hawaii for their delicious ice cream, and if you're staying in the Hilton Hawaiian village, it's a must try! Lines are typically very long, but we managed to snag a spot at night, and the lines do typically move very quick! Unique Hawaiian flavors and classic ice creams with fun twists. Highly recommend, especially if you have a sweet tooth!

    Walking into an ice cream spot in Waikiki, you already know you're about to get financially disrespected. I was fully prepared to pay "ocean view tax" for a single scoop. Somehow, it ended up being the same price, if not cheaper, than the Baskin-Robbins by my house. That alone threw me off. Then the ice cream showed up... and now I'm suspicious for a different reason. Flavor was a straight 10 out of 10. Not "it's hot so I'll take anything cold" good, actually good. Like someone back there cares about your happiness. Portion size? Out of control. These guys are not measuring anything. It felt personal. Like they saw me walk in and said "yeah, give this guy the full send." And listen, I've never once in my life said "that's too much fudge." That's not a sentence I use. But they pushed me to the edge. Sundae came out looking like it was melting under pressure. Fudge dripping down the sides, chocolate overflowing like it had somewhere to be. I couldn't even take a picture because it was already escaping. One wrong move and I'm wearing it. At one point I wasn't even eating it anymore, I was just trying to contain the situation. This is exactly how a sundae should be. Messy, overloaded, slightly stressful, and 100 percent worth it. I'll be back... but next time I'm bringing backup.

    Best ice cream!!! Surprisingly really great prices! Get the keiki cone for $4.99!! It's a delicious, fresh, waffle cone. I had the coconut ice cream with caramel and macadamia nut, Ono! Located within the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

    A small, store front, with plenty of flavors. This place was packed when we arrived at 4:00pm. I got a double scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough and mini peanut butter cup, and fudge. It was tasty. My wife got the Kona coffee and the Kona lava Java double scoop waffle cone. Prices were about the same as other ice cream places, $25. Overall, a well deserved treat for the afternoon of rain.

    Still as good as the very first time I tried it. Their coffee shakes are just so delicious. The ice cream is a hit with the kids. They are so creamy and flavorful. The line outside can be intimidating but the staff does a great job getting it to move along despite the many times they have to stop serving due to flavor test requests. The location is walkable from other nearby hotels as well not just the Hilton. Grab and go ice cream or drinks then enjoy them while walking around the village or the beach. I cannot visit this area without stopping by at least once.

    The infamous Lappert's! I was told by at least 3 people who knew we were going to Hawaii and staying at the Hilton that we needed to check out Lappert's for ice cream! Lappert's is located at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort in Honolulu across the main lobby. My family and I visited Lappert's 3 out of the 4 nights we were there and it definitely lived up to the hype! On the first night, I ordered a scoop of Macadamia Nut ice cream which was so good. I shared the Uncle's Hot Fudge Sundae with my husband on the other 2 nights. My daughter tried the Ooey Gooey Pineapple Cake, Pineapple Sorbet and Banana Fudge and loved all 3 flavors. Not only do they offer some great flavors of ice cream, they also offer in house made waffle cones and bowls, cookies and large pieces of coffee cake and carrot cake. I believe I also saw Affogatos, different espresso drinks, milkshakes and Root Beer Floats on the menu - Chillers and smoothies too! I don't recall seeing seating inside of Lappert's, but being in Hawaii, my family loved grabbing ice cream to go and walking along the beach. The line was always out the door when we visited, but it moved quickly and staff is friendly! Check them out!

    Create your own ice cream sundae: chocolate chip cookie dough, waffle cone, caramel, sprinkles, whip cream, and a cherry on top!

    Fun Fact: Did you know that you can order an Ice Cream Party from Lapperts?? That's right! I'm talkin'... 30 freshly made waffle cones A commercial-size tub of ice cream (your choice of flavor- I highly recommend chocolate chip cookie dough) A pint of sprinkles Your choice of two toppings: nuts, hot fudge, caramel, strawberry sauce All for $160. Think kids' birthday party, holiday party, work event... I did a full mash up and hosted a holiday karaoke event for both of my sons' 1st and 2nd grade class. Oh my gosh... everyone LOVED it!! Even the parents came back for seconds! The ice cream is delicious all by itself. The toppings and waffle cones are a bonus. Remember Lapperts if you are an event planner. Parking is expensive in Waikiki so call ahead and run in to pick up the goods during the grace period. Enjoy!!

    Soooo good! Their version of rocky road

    Love stopping by LAPPERTS when we are at the Hilton. The ice cream is certainly the best. They also have sorbets. They even have Bakery items. Service is usually friendly. There are two tables in the parlor. One bench outside. Other than that, it would be through throughout the Hilton properties that you can find a place to sit.

    Can't decide
    Joanne S.

    Premium ice cream at its best. We decided to get the Can't decide option because that's an appropriate option when there's so many goid flavors, and its the best deal. 5 half scoops of ice cream in a waffle cone. There was not a line whenever we've stopped by, but there is usually one after dinner hours. Not sure about earlier because I don't pass by earlier in the day. There's a few seats to eat at, but I think its overlooked because you pay on the other side, and most customers are sitting on the bench or wall outside. They also serve do.e. asked goods, being that they open so early in the morning, and sell coffee as well. It's definitely the best ice cream around.

    Do they have bubble gum ice cream?

    As the flavors come and go daily, you'll have to call the location to find out about current stock.

    Are there vegan options?

    Sorry, none!

    Does the icecream contain raw eggs? I really want to try the chocolate mac nut icecream.

    Aloha, Thank you for your question. No, our ice cream does not contain raw egg. The ice creams do not contain egg at all, with the exception of our Chocolate Chip cookie… 

    Do they have dairy-free options?

    All icecream bought in Hawaii are made in Hanapepe, Kauai, of natural ingredients including dairy products.

At $4.50 a piece I consider this a luxury for us. I found a close stall in the parking structure. A very cheerful polite male employee took my order. I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun.

I was having an issue with my online order because my phone was being glitchy and they were so nice in helping :) Also wanted to note their branding is so cute!! They even sell merch items too

    Everyone knows to go to Leonard's for freshly made malasadas, and the constant crowds there attest…read moreto their quality and variety (review: https://yelp.to/jaduiZfQRq). However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9). Truth be told, it stole the show from the malasadas. FOOD - 4 stars... the malasadas were good, but that ube dessert was next level AMBIANCE - 4 stars...really a takeout operation with a lot of temptations SERVICE - 4 stars...very calm and orderly TOTAL - 4 stars...yet another spot for sweet Hawaiian decadence RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

    Table for 11 the morning after the 4th of July without a reservation? What, like it's hard? You…read morecan't make reservations here, but they do have an iPad that you can be added to their waitlist. Even though it was rather busy, we were seated within 10-ish minutes and got their biggest table outside. And right next to their butter roll grill- score! We had 11 people including kids and teenagers and there's really something on the menu for everyone here. Even my picky nephew was able to find a milkshake and add an egg to their ham and cheese croissant. I got their mahi mahi breakfast and upgraded to get their fried rice. Mahi mahi might not sound like a breakfast food for most, but it's one of my favs that I used to get from their OG location and I hadn't had it in so long. And that's the best thing about Liliha Bakery, there are so many local favorites that you can get any time of day. My mom got the oxtail soup (I got a bit of plate fomo from that). The rest of the table got breakfast classics: pancakes w/ a side of spam, 2 eggs + bacon, steak and eggs etc. The butter rolls here are so good and love that they come complimentary but I do believe there's a charge after the first basket.

    We visited Liliha Bakery at the International Market Place in Waikīkī yesterday. The food was…read moreabsolutely delicious and definitely lived up to the hype! Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. Our waitress seemed to be having a rough day. The table behind us had to send food back three different times because they kept receiving the wrong orders, and there was about a 30-minute period where our server completely disappeared. We had to ask another staff member for our check and to-go boxes. She also never came back to check on our table or refill our water. Everyone has off days, so we're hoping that's all it was. We'd definitely come back because the food was so good--we just hope to have a different server next time.

    Green Tea Puff ($3.75) and Coco Puff ($3.69) - I didn't like these. The chantilly topping was way too sweet. Pudding filling tastes cheap.
