    Mosa cup (2 scoop) with peanut topping
    Ashley F.

    P.S.A: Happy Hour 50% off 4-7pm! Exclusions in detail on IG. Mosa near University is my go-to late night snack option in Oahu, but also one of my favorite dessert places overall because of their Taiwanese ice cream crepe wraps. Went with my friends after a nice dinner and it definitely satisfied my dessert cravings. I didn't realize this dessert usually has cilantro in Taiwan, but I'm glad they just have sweets here. Love their ube, honeydew mochi, and coconut flavors. 10/10, probably came here at least 5 times now.

    Unique type of ice cream from Taiwan. They have lots of places to sit down inside. The ice cream itself is super tasty and we loved the peanut shavings. The only downside is that it's really expensive in my opinion for how little ice cream you get. $13 for the crepe is too much. $7 for one scoop of ice cream is also too expensive for how small the scoop is. Service was friendly and quick. We enjoyed playing on the Nintendo switch after enjoying our ice cream.

    Yummy ice cream in Honolulu!! Friendly staff and cute decor inside. Lots of people on a Saturday night, but not too crowded where we waited very long. The ice cream comes on these cute little plastic pots, and a shovel spoon! So cute. No bathrooms at this store, so beware! Prices are a bit steep but it's expected. The shaved peanuts are what they're known for and they are absolutely scrumptious!! You must get them on your ice cream.

    Came here for the first time at this location. Ordered the 3 scoops crepe with mango, coffee, and ube ice cream. Very delicious and fulfilling. Staff are friendly and fast. I've only noticed street parking available. They do have a good amount of tables to chill at. Staff are friendly and fast. I've only noticed street parking available.

    Best ice cream place on island and amazing service. Glad they opened up this location cause I hate going into Waikiki

    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.

    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).

    Ube and Matcha ice cream.
    Raenae G.

    Cute ice cream shop. They had a variety of flavors. It is a little pricey though. The one scoop ice cream was served in a container that is shaped like a pot. The spoon was shaped like a shovel too. Too cute! The scoops order was placed on a regular plate. Also, they will ask if you want peanut brittle topping on your ice cream. It was a good and added a nice touch of flavor to the ice cream. Service was very quick. Loved that the employees were so friendly and willing to answer questions. Lots of tables to sit. There was a TV set to play games.

    2 scoops: Blueberry cheesecake and honeydew mochi with peanut toppings $9-10
    Amy Y.

    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.

    Peanut candy shavings!!!
    Rebecca T.

    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.

    Crepe ice cream roll
    Lauree T.

    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

    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.

    Came here on a Sunday night with no line. The flavor choices were plentiful. I got the coffee and the honey dew mochi. The honey dew mochi had nice piece of mochi and was artifical tasting. The kona coffee tasted like standard coffee flavor. But the star of the show is definitely the brittle that is shaved right in front of you. Wish they had an extra option. Would recommend just for the brittle.

    x1 Happy Dad

It was about 10 and not much to choose from this late in the eve. Looked on Yelp and found a five-star spot that closed at midnight. A unicorn perhaps, or just paid social media BSers hyping up basura? And it was within walking distance. Let's go find out. MOSA is like in a backstreet off of the main Kalakaua drag. It's like a little hut with some outdoor seating out front. Simple menu that offers eight different flavors that you order in a cup or a crepe. Wanted something not too messy and just portable enough to eat from while walking back, so I got the cup. Got two scoops of ube and Kona coffe sprinkled with crushed mac nuts. DELICIOUS. Loved the texture...very creamy, almost chewy. Lovely textures. Flavors were on point, too. It's on the pricier side for ice cream, though, but I think it's worth it for what you're getting. Great stuff!

The Kona coffee ice cream was incredibly smooth, rich, and creamy with a slightly stretchy texture that I really enjoyed. The roasted peanut sprinkles added a delicious crunch and subtle nutty flavor that complemented the ice cream perfectly. The service was also very friendly and quick! Overall, I really enjoyed it and would happily come back. While it didn't quite reach "must-have" status for me, it was still a delicious treat that's worth trying.

The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around! I'm trying to remember but I think there was a book off that was not too far from here! If you either drive or maybe walk. Service: staff was super helpful and friendly while I was there. 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
