We visited the Mosa University location on a quiet Thursday afternoon around 3 PM. When we entered the shop, there was no immediate greeting or acknowledgment. We called out "hello" a few times but no one came out from behind the counter. Eventually, a young staff member spoke to us from the back area behind the wall instead of coming forward to greet us or assist us directly. She asked from there if we were ready to order, but did not step out or engage with us at the counter. It also appeared she had been on her phone prior to assisting. To the owner: we are regular fans of Mosa (the Waikiki location) which is why we wanted to share this feedback. This particular experience felt quite different from what we normally expect and we hope it can help improve customer service consistency and staff presence at the counter. Despite this, we still enjoyed our ice cream and had a nice time overall. We also took some cute photos that day (April 16). Thank you for taking the time to listen to customer feedback. read more

I've had a memorable experience at the Mosa Waikiki location, but it was my first time going to the university store on S King St. Definitely the more convenient location of the two, since there are several free parking options and an indoor seating area for dining in. They now offer mac nut brittle shaving on top of their peanut one for extra charge. I decided to get the Mosa cup this time, with Honeydew mochi and Blueberry Cheesecake ice cream. I thought the Mosa cup was average (3.5/5) compared to their signature Mosa wrap. The crepe, cream, and their brittle adds so much to the experience and texture that their cup variant was underwhelming in comparison. Mosa was still great as I remember it to be, but in the future, I am going to stick to the Mosa wrap because thats where its at. read more

Pleasantly surprised by how yummy this ice cream burrito was. Wish there was more peanut shavings inside though. They use delicious ice cream! No thrills about this place - walk in, decide if you want a burrito or a scoop, and pick your flavors. Wasn't sure where to park though, so parked in the lot i usually do for Nijiya and picked up something from there on the way out (there's a scan qr on their door for a free hour). read more

Love love love their crepe ice cream rolls! The peanuts are definitely a good mix to balance out the sweetness from the ice cream and add texture to the dish. The crepe wrapper is very soft and overall it's a very refreshing sweet treat to eat after a heavy meal. The staff was very nice and gave me a wet paper towel because I spilt on my jeans (oops). They also came out with it very fast. The place can get crowded pretty quickly at night, but overall great spot read more

I thought of this dessert spot one night after our dinner. I believe this is their 2nd location, and seems a little bit more convenient than Waikiki. It's a cute and bright spot. Very welcoming staff. We ordered a 2 scoop ice cream with peanut shaving topping. The ice cream flavor we got was honeydew mochi and blueberry cheesecake. Such unique flavors here. It was very good...creamy and not too sweet. Definitely will be back to try other flavors. They have the macnut topping for a limited time. read more

You're really going for the nut shavings here as the ice cream and the wrap is really nothing special. However, I loved peanut toppings! Reminds me of a Chinese traditional dessert that I love! I tried the Mac nut too but definitely prefer the peanut one, more aromatic and satisfying. You could fit up to 3 flavors of ice cream in a regular or mini wrap. I got coffee and taro and they're both delicious. The interior looks a bit dated but it's not dirty at least, acceptable. There's also video games by the entrance and it's a fun place to eat some dessert and play some games. Friendly service too. read more

Finally got to try this spot! I do love me some ice cream! Went on a slower time with just a few customers ahead of us and just one worker. So service was a little on the slower side as to be expected since they shave the peanuts right there in front of you! They must have some muscle for sure! It's a cute small spot with a handful of indoor seats. We decided to get 3 flavors with our crepe. Ube, matcha, vanilla. We got it the macadamia nuts since it was free with their special which is normally $1 extra. I want to do normal peanuts next time because I think the macnuts sweetness might have been a little overpowering with the ice cream. The added crunch was really good! I was a little worried at how melted the 3rd scoop would be by the time we got to it but surprisingly wasn't too melty and we were able to finish it without much mess. read more

We love to get a sweet treat after dinner for the kids and Mosa really hits the spot. It's located at Pucks Alley right off S king (across from Raising Canes. There is a private lot in the back of the building that has a really easy parking system. You pull into the lot and scan a QR code to pay for your parking. The minimum is two hours for three dollars and the system will recognize that you have signed in and as you're leaving, it will send you a text to let you know that you are leaving the lot and charges it to the card you put on your account. Now the best thing about Mosa is their peanut topping. But when we went today, they have a new topping which is macadamia nuts. And for a limited time, they are offering a free macadamia nut topping, which makes me think that in the future it will be an up charge. We tried the macadamia nut in a crêpe with coconut and Kona coffee ice cream. They allow three ice cream choices in the regular size crepe. I really liked the coconut and macadamia nut topping, but I would rather prefer the peanut and Kona coffee. The kids are not fans of the crêpe or ice cream or peanut topping, but they love the Tanghulu grapes. There are lots of seats inside and it's a really bright and open spot. There are also many restaurants and eateries in the immediate area that you could get a quick bite to eat and then have your dessert at Mosa. read more

Seriously the best dessert I've had in a long time. The servers were so friendly even though the place was so busy. The decor was so cute & the shaved peanut / Mac nut was mouth watering.

Mosa - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Mosa is a solid late night dessert option in town. My friends and I were craving dessert and they had never tried Mosa before, so I recommended we check it out (this was my second experience). I highly recommend getting the scoops of ice cream because the portions are pretty generous and they give a lot of the shaved peanut candy. I also tried a bite of my friend's crepe, but the texture wasn't what I was expecting haha. My favorite flavors that I've tried here are the mango, cookies and cream, matcha and Kona coffee. I like that the workers are friendly, the parking is really easy (in the back lot the 1st hour is free) and of course the ice cream never disappoints. read more

I LOVE that theres a MOSA! Location outside of Waikiki. I came with my two friends and we enjoy their ice cream with peanut brittle topping in a cup. The flavors were divine. Between the 3 of us, we enjoyed the : honeydew mochi: refreshing, light, and the mochi was soft! Kona coffee: you can't go wrong with a classic Kona coffee Ube: it was light and not as strong as I hoped. Chocolate chip cookie dough: one of my favorite flavors as it was not overly sweet. The ice cream came out quickly and we were able to dine in. Parking is located in the back -- NOT VALIDATED! But the rates are low and a non issue. I will be back! read more

Sweet cravings... Is now definitely within your reach now that Mosa has opened it's second location in McCully/Moili'ili area and who knew you'd find them in Puck's Alley, and with very little street parking in this area so using the available parking at Puck's Alley is accessible on University Ave which the entrance right after Betty's and the first hour is free and their entrance is on S King St near Beer Lab and you'll definitely know once you're there with the vibrant pink sign to greet you. Walking in I do love the vibe with lots of seating available you can actually enjoy your treat at your leisure and speaking of treat it's their peanut brittle that's what makes them unique, a popular street food in Taiwan is now here and you're able to add the peanut sprinkle in a crepe or in a cup and what can be more fun than a single scoop of ice cream of your choice "matcha" for me and it comes in the cutest plant pot with shovel and strawberry heart of my goodness. If that's not your vibe they also have tanghulu, coke or rooter float and even Mosa milkshake so many great way to stay cool and the staff here are so nice and friendly you just can't wait to dig into this place. Thank you! read more

Mosa is located near the university area and serves ice cream, drinks, and more. One of my friends recommended it to us, so we went to check it out. The guy at the store was super friendly and chill. He explained what makes the shop special -- they shave peanuts or macadamia nuts into a candy-like texture and add them as a topping to the ice cream. They also sell drinks and milkshakes. The owner has another store in Waikiki as well. We tried the coconut and mango ice cream with peanut topping, and it was very refreshing. The cost is about $9. Since this location is close to UH, there is a lot of foot traffic, and many students visit this place. They're open from 12 p.m. to midnight, so if you want a late-night snack, this is a great place to go. read more

I want mo and mo MOSA! My boyfriend and I almost regret trying this new dessert spot in town because it is dangerously addictive! MOSA on king street is by the new beer lab location on University. This location offers plenty of seating and tables. You can even play super smash brothers with friends during your visit! Perfect for college students--delicious treats, fair prices, late hours! I loved the MOSA wrap. The crepe adds a lovely textural element to the dessert, not too sweet. You can choose up to 3 flavors of ice cream in each order (mini or regular size). The wrap is topped off with fresh strawberries and peanut shavings (I suspect this is the magical element of MOSA). My boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised at how perfectly balanced and delightfully (not overwhelmingly) sweet the dessert was. Customer service is wonderful! Everyone was welcoming, caring and kind. Be sure to get a stamp card because you will definitely want to return! read more

Dessert in Honolulu, Hawaii... We were driving along King Street when my dentist yelled out, "What's that?" She was referring to a bright, colorful, new business. I thought about parking at the izakaya next door, but she said it's safer to park in Puck's Alley where this second location of MOSA is situated. (The first location is in Waikiki.) We entered the parking lot from University Avenue. The first hour is free! Yay! We walked through Nijiya Market to get to King Street and returned to the car through the alley. My two friends got scoops of ice cream in the cute flower pots and ate with small shovels - it's such a novelty! I got the tanghulu... the three strawberries were dipped in the liquid sugar which wasn't as thick and sticky as other places... yay! It was good! Service was helpful and polite! We watched the desserts being assembled... wow - it's kind of labor intensive... especially since the huge blocks of peanut brittle are shaved by hand! This is a fun place! Thank you! read more

Located in Puck's alley, across from Hale Mahana (clearing targeting the UH student market), Mosa is the latest ice cream shop in town. Yeah I know what you're thinking, "oh, more ice cream." But have you heard about their two gimmicks to draw customers in? The first is free video games with what looks like a Switch setup with controllers to let customers play games. The second and more appealing, is that their ice cream gets topped with freshly grated peanut candy. Obviously steer clear if you are allergic. They also sell peanut candy in bar form. There's an assortment of flavors, but we went with the cookies and cream, Kona coffee, and chocolate in a crepe. Kona coffee was my favorite, and the peanut candy added a nice texture and bonus flavor, but it was a bit hard to eat the ice cream in the crepe. You may want to pick the cup. Pricing seems to be on par with others as everything is going up. The location is clean, cutely decorated, with lots of seating, but parking can be a mess in that area depending on what time and day you go. There is paid parking in the back and some street parking in the general area. Staff are polite, efficient, and seem to get paid to work out as they grate that peanut candy. Overall rating: 3.75 stars read more

Amazing Taiwanese style ice cream with peanut brittle shavings! My walking buddy and I tried the Kona Coffee and Strawberry ice cream cups. So refreshing and delicious on a warm summer day! Awesome level of flavor and textures with the shaved peanut brittle. 5/5 stars. You can even purchase the peanut brittle to take home! $10 for one block and 2 blocks/$15. The adorable planter cup that the ice cream is served in may be taken home with you! The shovel spoon matches perfectly. I met owners Mickey and Jason, together with Brendi (social media) and the most adorable and friendly puppy golden retriever Saturn. Heart melting Saturn! Menu is posted on the photos. There are 11 flavors available at this location, compared to the 8 flavors offered at the Waikiki location. Milk shakes are only offered at the S. King St. location. Service was 5/5 stars. Jason, Mickey, Brendi and Saturn are all very approachable and friendly! All questions will be answered here. Ambiance is clean, fun and Instagram worthy! 5/5 stars Free one hour parking in the Puck's Alley parking lot! Support local! Please check out this hot and new business. First business location: 2238 Lau'ula St. , Waikiki, 96815. Still going strong in Waikiki. Overall rating: 5/5 stars read more

Saw this bright colorful store as we headed out to dinner so decided we needed to try it. What is ice cream and peanuts ? Hummm. We parked in the back lot and made out way through Nijiya to get to Mosa. Better to go through the alley Mosa was bright scattered with tables and lots of young people (we're old) In wasn't sure what this was all about. Apparently they have ice cream "burritos", scoops, milkshakes and I'm not sure what else. We opted for scoops. Hubby got coffee, I wanted coffee and chocolate. Apparently the ice cream is not made there but sourced locally. The young man did not want to disclose which supplier . He said they make 2 flavors in house. The single scoop is served in a cute "flower pot" with a shovel. I thought it was really cute. Unfortunately my double scoop came in an ordinary paper tray that they use at luaus. I would have preferred it being stacked in the flowerpot . They add some shave. Peanut brittle and a couple slices of strawberries. We sat and ate the ice cream there. The place got really crowded. Funny thing is my husband noticed the cashier did not know how to calculate the bill and give change. They need to get a cash register or calculator and implement some controls. Ice cream was fine, brittle topping was ho hum, strawberries were tart. All in all, I do wish them well as I can see they are emerging entrepreneurs with an idea and a dream. Good luck guys... work on some fundamental operations. Ha ha, I had to hold back from picking up the used flower pots in the trash can... they are cute read more

It was pretty busy but the service was very fast. I noticed 3 people working, 2 behind the counter and one at the register. While I ordered they kindly answered that the mini wrap has 1 scoops of ice cream and the regular has 3 scoops. They also asked if I wanted peanut toppings with it and I answered, "Yes please!" They brought the food out to us. I liked the open seating and the game corner. My son and husband played there while I ordered. We ordered the tanghulu strawberries for my husband, a strawberry shake for my son, and the mosa crepe wrap for me with 1 scoop coconut, 1 scoop strawberry and 1 scoop ube ice cream. The mosa wrap was definitely a win for me. It came in a hand wrap not a plate, which made it perfect to go and easy to bite. I love that they had peanut shavings in it. It gave the ice cream a full nutty flavor. My husband says, "The strawberries were delicious and ice cold!" And my son drank his entire strawberry shake with no complaints. He did let me have a sip, it was super thick and they did not skip out on the ice cream. He said he wants to come back for more super smash bros. And I think the shake too! It certainly was a great way to end the week with something super refreshing, especially after all this hot weather. read more

Saw this on other reviews so here we are! It's located in Pucks Alley fronting King st in the University area. We parked in the lot behind puck's alley. FYI, the parking has no attendant- you download the QR code and it magically charges you. The first hour is free. It's a really cute shop with cheerful decor and a bunch of tables. It even has a Nintendo! There are two ways to get your ice cream- wrapped in a crepe or in a very cute plastic cup shaped like a pot with a shovel spoon. We chose the melon mochi flavor in the cup as I read other reviewers had trouble with the ice cream melting fast in the crepe. Single scoop was $7 which I thought was a bit pricey for a single scoop. BUT.. it was GOOD! Not hurt your teeth sweet and it was very creamy. Loved the melon flavor! There were huge slabs of mac nut and peanut candy which was hand shaved into fine topping. That was put into the bottom of the cup, then the ice cream and then topped with more of the shavings. The texture and the flavor combination were yummy. The ice cream was in between a soft serve and regular ice cream. I'm hooked! There was merch as well- T-shirts, jute shopping bags with their logo as well as slabs of peanut candy $10. The girl was very friendly and nice too. Definitely will be back. FYI- pay with cash to avoid the credit card transaction fee. read more

First off, the cashier was so friendly and made sure to see if I had any questions. There's also parking in the back and a bunch of seating. They even have a game system setup to play Smash Bros! For our order we had a mini of the wrap and chose to get it with the shaved peanut candy. You can choose up to three flavors so we got ube, cookies and cream, and coffee. The dessert as one is texturally amazing and the flavors go so well with the peanut candy. The crepe wrap is really thin and gives a nice soft chewiness, with the creamy ice cream and crunchy shaved candy. I was so full from the dinner I had before hand which is why my friend and I decided to share the mini, but honestly it was so good I wish we got the large haha! I was so excited to finally check out this spot because everyone on my ig has posted it at some point and I have to say it definitely lives up to the hype! read more

Cute and fun little ice cream shop. Came here with the whole family and there was a flavor for everyone. You can have your ice cream wrap or cup style. Both are delicious but wrap all the way for me! What separates this ice cream shop to others is the shavings off of a peanut block that's enveloped into your ice cream wrap or topped onto your ice cream cup. I've been told it's Taiwanese style. It's the right amount of sweet and salty and would recommend anyone that is in town to drop by for dessert. Tiffany prepared our orders and treated us with genuine warmth and kindness. I can tell that anyone that is employed here enjoys the job and is passionate about it. Mosa has gained a very loyal customer. read more
