Review on coffee only, I'm so happy. I got the coffee with oat milk and peanut cold foam. It's delicious.
When I first arrived, there was no one at the front register, though I could hear staff talking in the back. A staff member eventually came out, but she returned to the back without greeting me or asking if I needed assistance, despite seeing me looking at the menu. I almost left, but I managed to get her attention and place my order. While the initial customer service was lacking, the food was excellent. Both the coconut and Kona coffee flavors were delicious, and the peanut brittle was a great addition that provided a nice crunch.
This pricey dessert place seems to be gradually cutting corners. Customers are now getting less of the ingredients, especially the shaved peanuts. In fact, that key ingredient is what makes the burrito wrap so good. Reducing the amount inevitably affects the overall taste and quality of the dessert. I hope this is just an isolated occurrence and not becoming the norm. Otherwise, it may be difficult to justify spending our hard-earned money there.
Came here with my cousins after they highly recommended it. Cute shop with some outdoor seating. We got a plain ol' chocolate ice cream with mac nuts, a beautiful addition and 2 small crepes with 2 scoops of ice cream and mac nuts as well. What a great idea! Love that extra crunch when eating the crepes. The service was so friendly and SO patient while we were trying to figure out what flavors we wanted in our crepes. Thankfully we beat the crowd that came after we got our order. One of the owners also came around with samples of a product they are wanting to roll out soon so that was a lot of fun to give them our input. Support small business while enjoying a delicious dessert and talking story! Will definitely be back!!
We meant to get the crepe but forgot to order it in that style LOL. But nonetheless, the scoops were absolutely delicious. Service 5/5 Simple, quick, standard. Food 5/5 I had honeydew while my partner had chocolate. The strawberries and flakes were a cute touch and overall really enjoyed it! Ambiance 5/5 A good amount of outdoor seating.
Husband got this and said it's a 10/10 and to write a review for them! I'm not a fan of peanut butter or nuts but I trust that if he saying it's good, then it's good! If you look at the right side of the building you can see a tv, they let you play ninetendo gaming that you can play
Nice cute little place by UH Manoa campus. They offer 5% off with a UH ID and $1 off if you pay with cash. Their menu is basically 2 options: ice cream with peanuts and strawberries in your choice of a crepe or a cup/bowl. We did one of each. There's a variety of ice cream flavors ranging from ube to honeydew mochi and you can choose up to 3 flavors. You can also choose from peanut drizzle or Mac nut drizzle ($1 more). Once they scoop your ice cream, they have a little station where they scrape the peanut drizzle from a big block directly onto your ice cream. Fun to watch! I got the crepe and chose 2 ice cream flavors: blueberry cheesecake and chocolate. My mom got the cup with matcha ice cream. I really enjoyed the crepe! The peanut drizzle was nicely spread throughout the crepe and added a nice touch to the ice cream. The cup wasn't as good in my opinion though because the peanut drizzle was only sprinkled on top and not as generously spread. I would come again, but I would only recommend ordering the crepe option.
To beat the heat, I will go just about anywhere. Mosa is on Lauula Street in Waikiki, found between Royal Hawaiian and Seaside Avenue. This cute little kiosk has a delicious Taiwanese ice cream crepe that is covered in fresh shaved peanut brittle. There was a lot of seating and some music piped in for atmosphere. It was a nice touch to have access to playing some Super Smash Brothers while you waited. The ube ice cream was delicious and the peanut topping was good enough to convince me to buy a couple of bars for home. Friendly service can be found here and they were so understanding that it was my first time there and I couldn't decide. #bigboyproblems
I've been wanting to try this place for so long and it was worth it! I love peanut brittle so I really don't think I could go wrong here. I wish I tried the crepe but I just want that hungry at the time. The ice cream in a cup with the shaved peanut brittle was super good. They are open late if you get a sweet tooth before bed or after walking around Waikīkī.
Love love love- service and best ice cream ever. Highly recommend! Sorry my pics suck bc we time dogs in before I remember to take the pics.
Cute ice cream shop tucked away in a random street. I like how they also have a video game area where you can just play Smash Bros on the side. Pretty fun! This was my first time trying, so we got the matcha ice cream, vanilla, and cookies and cream in the crepe style. We also added the macadamia nut topping to it as well. It didn't take too long for our order to prepare since I wasn't too busy. First glance, it generally just looks like an ice cream burrito lol. We were also sharing so it was kinda hard to eat haha. The cookies and cream and vanilla ice cream were pretty good! The matcha ice cream though, it just tastes like the basic matcha ice cream you get at a japanese restaurant, not really quite authentic, but just "matcha flavored". I felt like the crepe itself didn't really elevate the ice cream experience, nor did the macadamia nuts on it. It just felt like an ice cream burrito and not a fancy ice cream crepe. The ice cream was really nice for the weather though.
The ice cream was average. Nothing special. Came here because I read all the glowing reviews. Order 3 scoops with the macadamia nut brittle, added a buck for that. I had cookies and cream, green tea, and starwberry sorbet. The ice cream was average, the sorbet was below average. Lots of large chunks of ice in each bite. The brittle didn't add much to the flavor in my opinion. Would I come back here? Probably not.
Such an adorable spot for a quick sweet treat. I ordered a 'Mosa Cup!' with one scoop of vanilla and peanut sprinkle. Such a simple concept, but it is sooo delicious. I feel like the peanut sprinkle helps elevate the flavor considerably, and hits the spot just right. The presentation is adorable as this comes in a cup that looks like a flower pot, with a shovel as a spoon. The workers were kind, and even checked up on us once we finished in the small seating area that they have up front. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area, you won't be disappointed.

So good! There's a little window on the side to watch them shave the giant block also. Jason is SO nice, recognized us when we came back the second time in our trip. read more

Super kind and well-mannered young men run this shop. Absolute respect to the hustle they show. Once I had the Ube ice cream with extra shavings, there was no shot I'd get dessert anywhere else! read more

We really wanted some ice cream after eating KBBQ and we found this place after walking around. The desserts were all super good and everything was sweet but not overly sweet. The service was quick and helpful. The owner was really friendly and greeted us after we got our desserts. I wish him the best of luck and I highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

visiting from seattle, wa! it was around 9:30pm, my friends & I were doing a little bar-hopping but I was really craving for something sweet. many places in hawaii close around 10pm so we were looking on yelp for late-night dessert, and that's how we found mosa! we were actually on the way to a bar and planned to stop by later, but turns out they were right next to each other and decided to grab dessert first. we found out this business recently opened, the owners were there and they were really nice and chill. they explained their story and how they got to opening their business! we ordered 2 scoop; ube and kona coffee. they were really delicious and creamy! it's not overly sweet too. this place will definitely satisfy your late-night sweet cravings. would highly recommend to all my friends next time they come to hawaii read more

Small hole in the wall Ice Cream shop with a few tables outside. It was really crowded but the line moved quickly. Except for the speaker for the music in my ear while ordering, everything was great. I say loud music as the guy taking orders had to say excuse me a couple times. The ice cream was very flavorful and the fresh grated peanut brittle on the top was delicious. I was lucky to try the grape tanghulu and it was very delicious. They also do it in with fresh strawberries which I will definitely try next time. Parking is the biggest problem. I parked at Waikiki Shopping Plaza and it was $9 when I left. They guys worked in harmony and got the orders out quickly. I had the Ube and vanilla, my wife had the cookies and cream with Ube. My son had the cookies and cream with strawberry wrap. He loved it. Definitely coming back. read more

Wow wow wow! I'm having a hard time trying not to gatekeep this place. I don't want to stand in long lines when this spot blows up, but the 3 young owners have created something special here, and it deserves recognition. It's not just the delicious food, the Instagramable seating area, or the great walkability of it's Waikiki location; but the love and passion these guys bring with it. Mickey, Masaki, and Jason (and also Noah), bring an immediate "friends and family" vibe to the shop, that you have to experience to understand. I think they can go as far as they set their minds to as business entrepreneurs, and I'll be glad I was there to see them in the early days. Now to the food! The Mosa wrap is absolutely delicious. My wife and I split a mini mosa with coconut and cookies & cream, and we had to go back for more. We couldn't put it down, and almost couldn't share it lol. It's garnished with a Taiwanes peanut brittle, of which I'm positive that most people in the states haven't tried, and that I highly recommend trying. It brings a very unique flavor profile to the dessert. We also had 3 different tanghulu (strawberry, grape, tangerine), which is fresh fruit encased in a hard candy shell, and I'm telling you, I have never had anything like it. Completely blown away by the freshness of the fruit, and the flavor of the glass-like candy shell. I have absolutely no regrets about trying this place, and if you're reading this, try it, or you're missing out. read more

Line was super quick and the employees were very nice! There was plenty of seating when we went. Also, super convenient that it's open late. We got 1 scoop of ice cream each and it came topped with peanut brittle and a strawberry. I'm very picky about my ice cream and I really enjoyed how it is creamy and not icy. read more

One the best things we had on our trip to Waikiki, and we had a lot of great stuff! The wrap was such an awesome combination of textures and flavors and the brittle shavings take everything to the next level! And they have tanghulu! We were able to try strawberry, tangerine and grape. I think tangerine was my favorite. But the Mosa wrap was so good that I had to have my husband order one not for the road. We will definitely be back every time we visit! read more

This place is amazing! Went here with my family and we shared the Mosa Wrap with 1 scoop of Matcha, Chocolate, and Coconut. Their signature nut shavings topped the wrap and added a great add on to the flavor. Service was amazing and we got our food around 10 minutes after we ordered. Considering that it was a busy Saturday night (7-9 it gets busy). Owner was very friendly and did not seem even a bit stressed! I will definitely come back the next time I am in Waikiki. #staymosa read more

Oh man Yelp for the WIN again! We wanted sweet with a twist and we found it with the "MOSA CUP!" Most definitely blown away with the peanut brittle topping - truly a MUST! The staff/owner (Mickey and Masaki) provided exceptional service AND the amazing story/history. We just LOVED the music/seating/ambiance vibe. Sounds like we be visiting daily while we are in town! read more
