Mixed Berry w Vanilla Ice Cream
Ysabelle A.

This ice cream shop is tucked away next to the famous angel wing wall. I love how customizable everything is here, and it really didn't help with my indecisiveness , but the workers were so patient and helpful when it came to choosing our flavors. We got the mixed Berry with vanilla ice cream and pineapple with coconut ice cream. I love how fresh and refreshing the ice cream is, and you can really taste the fruit. There is nothing artificial about this place! This little boy actually dropped his ice cream on the floor outside the shop, and the workers were gracious enough to give their family another ice cream. Great experience overall!

Cute lil ice cream spot in Hale'iwa! I love that you can customize your ice cream and they use fresh fruits. We chose strawberry and coconut which was such a refreshing combo. We ordered a size keiki which was actually big for 2 people so it was perfect that we shared one.

Strawberry vanilla ice cream - @ Sweet As ice cream co. 7/28/2025

Monday, 7/28/2025 - Tried "Sweet As Ice Cream co". Address is 62-620 Kamehameha Highway, Haleiwa, HI 96712. Small cute little ice cream shop using real fruits. We got coconut pineapple ice cream, strawberry banana ice cream, and strawberry vanilla ice cream and all were perfect. Wasn't over sweet. And you can taste the fruits in the ice cream. The young girl behind the counter was so patient with us as we were making our decision.

The location, the decor and the product!

Excellent ice cream! Wonderful service. We enjoyed trying this so much. Reading the wall on why they began the business, etc.

Such a cute little spot. Not what I was expecting (thought it was just ice cream) but still so good. We got vanilla ice cream with pineapple and vanilla with strawberry. Instructions simple to order on the board with all the flavors and a cute painting outside for photo ops. Friendly employees and open til 830 in Haleiwa with 4-5 stalls right in the back. Just moved to waialua so I'm sure we will be back!

Outstanding. Incredible. Genius. Best ice cream to ever cross my lips! This is such a great and unique idea. You pick your fruit, the kind of ice cream you want it mixed with, and cone/dish/toppings. Delicious! Strawberry vanilla ice cream in a waffle cone

Very helpful about choices building my flavor of ice cream. Pick your fruit, pick ice cream flavor then cup, cone or waffle one. Very fresh & tasty . Not overly sweet & sugary . Perfectly balanced, fruity flavored ice cream . Very unique concept! Loved it ! I chose fresh pineapple with coconut ice cream in a waffle one. It was a lot for 1 person . Very shareable!

I'll be the first to say fruit and ice cream was never my go to, I always was big on chocolate or cookies or caramel when it came to ice cream BUT there is something different about this! It tastes great and the texture and flavors are hard to describe or else I really would. Located in cute beach town of Haleiwa as well this is a great stop on the way out or the way back from the north shore! Staff was very friendly and helpful in helping us choose flavor combinations as it was our first time! Definitely recommend if you haven't tried it yet!

This tiny shop right off the Main Street leading into Haleiwa serves up a big time soft serve that is created with this unique blending machine and all with freshly made ingredients! First you pick from six choices of fresh fruits and then an ice cream - Vanilla, Coconut, Dairy Free Coconut, or Frozen Yogurt - and they'll churn it into a yummy soft serve treat. We had fresh mango and mixed berries - other choices are mango, strawberries, pineapple, lillikoi or banana - with coconut ice cream. They've also got a second location on the 2nd floor at the Ala Moana Center. It's a no frills counter area where you place an order to the server and they concoct your soft serve either in a cup or cone on keiki or nui "regular" size.

The three bowls cleared that I mentioned!

I was at first confused as to what the name sweet as could possibly mean or infer. As soon as I walked in that door I quickly realized why the store was named this way. I was graced by the presence of Matthew, the best employee any business could ever ask for. This guy was "Sweet As" can be! Great service, great recommendations, great vibe, great aura, great fit on even, this kid had it all. After I ordered, Matthew managed to stay engaged in a lighthearted conversation, making our group feel welcomed in a new environment. His multitasking skills were impressive as he made our sweet treats and held up a great chat. After our ice creams were made, my life changed as I had never tasted something so wonderful in my entirety of living. I'm fully convinced only Matthew could have made such a delectable treat. I rarely ever leave a review but as I'm astounded by the service I was graced with, I feel it necessary to let the world know. My only critique of this place is that they don't have Matthew's schedule posted on the wall so I can know when I need to come back. Genius, talented, charisma, kids one of a kind. This kid needs a raise!

This was hands down the best ice cream we have ever had! The ingredients were all so fresh and the process is so fun to watch. This is a must if you are on the North Shore, you have to try it! We were on the island for a week and went 3 or 4 times it was that good...

If you find or know where the WIngs are in Haleiwa you are not far off but literally right next to finding this cute and amazing place! The map did veer us in the wrong direction but we found it! Trying this place was a literal heaven. I tried the coconut and pineapple flavors the coconut ice cream had coconut shavings both flavors together tasted like a pina colada! My husband got the pint from the freezer and so so so good. I think whatever flavor you get I truly believe you cannot go wrong. Everything is fresh with great portions I cannot wait to go back for more!! & funny enough we went to try their frozen yogurt, not the ice cream but they had run out. The next visit will be trying to see if there was a reason they were sold out!

Jaky Y.

Absolutely loved our ice creams! We stopped by on our way back to Waikiki from the North Shore and got several treats. Raspberry with yogurt was our favorite, with blueberry with coconut ice cream as a close second. Everything is fresh, made to order based on your specific order. The small size is pretty big, especially if you get their freshly made waffle cone. Loved it and will be back!

The guava, peach, and green tea flavors were our favorites. The shaved ice was strong and balanced without tasting artificial. It tastes great with the smooth vanilla ice cream and honestly, this place has the best mochi we've ever had. It's not just about the shaved ice. The price is unbeatable, great ambience with cute little chickens roaming around this atmospheric little city and their friendly shopkeepers. You would need a car to get to this place though since it's very north of the island. Park behind the building. The line moves very very fast so don't worry and just do it, you won't regret it.

There's a menu posted near the entrance, which made ordering easy while waiting in line. We ended up going with the large Green Tea Special and the large Tropical flavor combination. Watching the shave ice get assembled along the prep line was part of the fun, and there was plenty of outdoor seating nearby to enjoy everything afterward. Green Tea Special (5/5): Surprisingly one of my favorites. The matcha flavor was strong and earthy, pairing perfectly with the sweetness of the condensed milk, the chewy mochi, azuki bean paste, and subtle nuttiness from the kinako powder. A really well-balanced dessert. Tropical Combination (4/5): Includes lilikoi, guava, and mango. The guava stood out the most with the strongest flavor, while the lilikoi was more subtle. The mango tasted more citrusy, almost orange-like, than expected, but still refreshing overall. Overall, a great shave ice spot that lives up to the hype. There's also a connected gift shop afterward with plenty of fun souvenirs to browse through.

We happened in to HI Pie and were surprised to discover such a hidden gem. I ordered the chicken pot pie which was $13 (reasonably priced for a handmade fresh mini pie).

I'm so excited to return and can't wait to try some of their drinks - the matcha latte looked promising I think they use Ami Mei matcha, chocolate chip cookies and other sweet flavors of pie.

I recommend anyone trying it get your own. The Pot Pie was easily the best Pot Pie we've ever had - seasoned perfectly, creamy, and the crust was flakey on the outside with a little heart cutout on top making it enjoyable for our toddler to eat. Cute little bakery located in Haleiwa. Plenty of parking behind the bakery. - Recommended for both the Pot Pie and Pineapple Cream Pie. - Not recommend to share the pie - be greedy, eat your own, lick the plate

Every time we come to north shore we…read morealways get matsumoto's which isn't the best quality shave ice but is so cheap and has a lot of flavors. We decided to finally try a different shave ice place this time since north shore has so many places. Parking was in the same lot as the food truck park that has surf and salsa which is normally really crowded during lunch hours, we came around 2:30 so it wasn't too bad but might be difficult if you come at a busier time. They hand make all of their syrups with real fruit and you can definitely tell! We got mango and coconut with banana ice cream and omg the syrups were so much better than every other shave ice place we've had. The consistency was a lot thicker than the usual liquid syrup which made it a lot more flavorful. The coconut syrup was almost like a cream that tasted just like haupia. The banana ice cream was also insanely good, my husband talked about how good the ice cream was the whole drive home haha. The ice was also really fine and smooth. The shop has the cutest outdoor seating in the back right along the water which was so peaceful and shady. Super high quality shave ice and chill laid back vibes. Our new favorite shave ice place for sure!

I got the North Shore sub the pineapple with Lychee and it was delicious! The shaved ice was not the smoothest and not all the ice was coated with the flavoring but I really enjoyed how the syrup did not taste artificial. The macadamia nut ice cream on the bottom was excellent! The sweet cream sweetened the shaved ice perfectly. Next time I would definitely request more of the fruit flavoring.
