    Monkey 'n Around
    Xin L.

    I want to say that this is an underrated spot but sweet creams used to be soooo popular around when they first opened. I remember coming by here with my friends years ago and enjoying their rolled ice cream but never got the chance to swing by, so when I got the opportunity to try it again I wasn't sure what to expect. I got the u-be baby and my friend got the monkey n around. Both were SOOO good and as someone who LOVES ube, I really enjoyed my order, and my friend really liked his too. The ube flavor honestly isn't super strong, leaning more towards a simple sweet creamy (lol) flavor. I would really recommend trying this spot out if you have never had rolled ice cream before. It is a bit on the pricier side, but I'm sure the gimmick of them chopping up the mix-in and rolling out the creams is likely what causes that inflation (and you can also customize If you wanted).

    The shop is really cute - tried them years ago and was going to try them again. Thankfully, they were at Made in Hawai'i and had some flavors to pick from, so I chose the ube. Was a little stiff on initial scoop, but as it started to melt a slight bit, it was a perfect blend of flavors and the waffle cone gave it some good texture/crunch - Miguel Morales Photography

    Writing this review for the second time because they truly deserve it! Sweet Creams is hands down the best ice cream roll spot in town and I just had to come back to write a more detailed review. We've been coming here every now and then and it never disappoints. My son always goes for Cookies & Cream it's his all-time favorite! I personally love their coffee ice cream it's smooth, rich and has just the right balance of sweetness. The rolled ice cream is made fresh on the cold pan right in front of you which is such a fun experience every single time. There are so many toppings to choose from and my son loves adding as many as possible it's like building your own dream dessert! The staff are always so kind and welcoming. Watching them skillfully roll the ice cream is like watching art being made, and they're great with kids too. You can feel that they genuinely enjoy what they do and that positive energy makes the whole visit even better. Ambiance & convenience The shop is super cute with creative graphic walls that give off fun and playful vibes perfect for photos! It's located close to the mall and parking is always easy which is a huge bonus when you're coming with kids or friends. Thank you for staying open and continuing to serve such sweet, high quality treats with love and care. We'll definitely keep coming back. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! :))

    Pineapple 5-0 is DA BOMB...flavor explosion for the mouth!

    After that awful debacle with another rolled ice cream place out in Kahuku, I needed to prove to my friend that rolled ice cream is a delicacy not to be missed! Thank goodness for Sweet Creams at Ala Moana! They are open late for all those people, like me, who need an ice cream fix past sun down. I got the pineapple 5-0...just the right amount of sweet, tart and li hing! Yes, I'm declaring li hing as a flavor category all on its own! Even after the 20 min ride back home, my ice cream rolls were still rolls, which made me very happy. I also ordered the cold brew and the frozen choco...which I assume were delicious because they quickly disappeared. The staff there is awesome, cheery, welcoming, and FAST! Never have I ever had rolled ice cream so quickly! I swear it was only a 5 min wait for my 3 orders! That OTHER place took at least 10 mins for just one. Sweet Creams YOU ARE DA WINNAH HANDS DOWN! I'm looking forward to working my way through your menu. And almost forgot...they have flavored lemonades and boba too! Make sure you try the lychee jasmine tea with lychee jelly!

    When Sweet Creams first opened many years ago, they always had a long line out of their door. With their limited space and lack of seating, this spot was always a pass on my list of desserts and I never gave much thought to them. However, they've endured throughout the years and are still open to the public. The long lines have gone away, but the ice cream has stayed the same. The menu is large and they've added drinks to their line up. The rolled ice cream is freshly made and with the boom and burst of the rolled ice cream bubble, it looks like Sweet Creams is one of the last rolled ice cream shops hanging on. Parking is easily secured in their private lot and there are 2-3 smaller tables that you can sit at to enjoy your ice cream immediately. My personal favorite is the strawberry but my BF wanted the banana "Monkeying Around" flavor and that was good! I'll be adding Sweet Creams back into my rotation of dessert options!

    Great service. The staff was so nice & patient with me. It's a small shop with limited seating indoors and outside. I had the monkey n' around and the strawberry shortcake, both 10/10. I will absolutely come back.

    Frozen Hot Cocoa
    Hailley O.

    I haven't been to Sweet Creams in years so I was excited to have rolled ice cream again. I got the frozen hot cocoa one and it was pretty good! Maybe a little too sweet for me because of all the chocolate but what else do you expect from a frozen hot cocoa lol. There was only one girl working when we went and I was surprised how fast she made the ice cream! Sweet Creams is probably only one of the few places that still does rolled ice cream. So if you want something a little different for dessert, check this place out! They also serve drinks and you can build your own ice cream in addition to the flavors/bowls they have on the menu.

    I'm really surprised how this place hasn't gone out of business yet...I thought rolled ice cream was a trend that was eventually gonna die down. But I guess, through it all they persevered and I hope they are here to stay because I do have to admit, you gotta have some rolled ice cream every now and then in your life. If you want faster service, order a set menu item; customs will naturally take longer. My friends and I went in as a group of 10+ all on one receipt and the set menu items came out faster. Also, I was really impressed with how fast they were for a large group - definitely impressed. Catch me here some time again soon! It's always summer in Hawaii so there's always room for rolled ice cream. Tell mom, we definitely DO NOT have rolled ice cream at home.

    We came upon this store on Kona behind Ala Moana SC. It's not the usual ice cream shop that they scoop out the ice cream for you. Instead they make the ice cream on a super chilled plate and roll them out individually. It was fun to watch them made. Taste was pretty good too. I would consider returning.

    Strawberry shortcake

    I got the strawberry shortcake, monkey n around, and the hot cocoa. Everything was very yummy as usual. The workers were very helpful in helping me with the reward system because you have to give them your phone number before you order and pay, but I didn't know, so I just gave it after. They helped me figure out how to get the points. The only thing is I was trying to order ahead online, but I couldn't put in the order to be made now. I think it might have been because the time was close to closing.

    Oreo and strawberry shortcake

    What a treat ! They offer the best rolled ice cream and the presentation is perfect. Staff is very helpful and very sweet. I think we found our go to spot. Any parents with peanut allergies? This spot does not carry any peanuts or have peanut in any ice creams, safe for our keiki

    Outside the store

    I went here with my uncle and aunty and tried the pineapple 5-0 and the frozen hot cocoa, which turned out to be very unique. The creams they used were very tasty and gave a natural sweet taste with their unique taste as described on their title and not a sugar sweet. the attendant was very sweet and friendly and eager to help.

    Cold Brew Coffee
    Sach T.

    Heard about this place so since we were in the area, decide to give them a try. Read in a Yelp review that a kiddie cup was enough for them so ordered 2...they were right! I think the amount of rolled ice cream in each cup is maybe equivalent to a scoop of ice cream and you get 4 toppings...we were satisfied. I ordered "Cold Brew Coffee" that has crushed Oreo cookies, chocolate chip, a Biscoff cookie and condensed milk. They poured their Local Cold Brew Coffee in the Original Base cream mixture. That coffee ice cream was really good! I never tried Biscoff cookies before...I'm now a fan! As for the Oreo dust and chocolate chips, it was ok but I think I want to choose something else the next time. I did a "Create Your Own" for my husband. I ordered the Original Base with bananas, Andes mint, Oreo cookie and graham cookie. He enjoyed it! They have soooooo many topping choices. I think I'm going to review it ahead of time so we can choose our favorites. Can't wait to come back!

Since this ice cream shop is located in chinatown, parking isn't the greatest at times. There is no designated parking for this ice cream shop but you can hopefully find nearby street parking or go to a nearby parking garage. It's easiest if youre just on foot. All in all, definitely an ice cream parlor worth trying out!

I did have an upset moment because my gps said I would get to Asato's at 1:58 so mentally I decided "I guess I didn't need it". But... lucky for me, traffic was in my favor and there was no delays, no red lights, and a parking space right out front so I got out of the car at precisely 1:55! Whew, I checked in and ran inside, excited that I made it. Also, super happy they were not sold out. You know I also cannot just get 1 pint. I took home 2 Pumpkin Custard, a Strawberry and candied ginger (which i got for mom so she doesnt get mad that I restocked the freezer). I did a purse grab and go so fast I did not notice the duchess status until going back to the car! So woohoo! I will definitely be sure to post a photo of my homemade pumpkin pie with the homemade deliciousness of pumpkin custard sherbert later this week! Happy Thanksgiving!

It's the kind of spot you're most likely to discover while wandering in or out of Ginza Bairin, following a luxurious tonkatsu meal craving something cold and refreshing. The setup is refreshingly no-frills: medium styrofoam cups, flavors handwritten in Sharpie, and two separate freezers dividing ice cream and sorbet. The texture runs on the firmer side, which actually works in its favor -- your scoop holds up beautifully in the island heat and doesn't melt into a puddle five minutes later. Given the generous portions, you probably won't be refreezing leftovers anyway. The tropical fruit sorbets are the clear stars, made with fresh fruit and bursting with natural flavor. Mango, lychee, and guava taste vibrant and authentic -- bright, fragrant, and not overly sweet due to the natural acidity from using real fruit. Beyond the classics, there are some fun and unexpected options like corn cheese, durian, and avocado for the more adventurous palate. The standout for me, though, was the Kona coffee ice cream. It avoids the common trap of being cloyingly sweet and instead leans into a rich, dark, nutty undertone with an intense coffee essence that lingers in the best way. It feels grown-up and balanced -- deeply satisfying without overpowering. Whether you're looking for the perfect palate cleanser after tonkatsu or just want a cold treat while strolling through Waikiki, Henry's Place delivers simple, memorable scoops that taste like they're made with care. No frills, no fuss -- just really good ice cream and sorbet.
