They got your cravings…read more.. After satisfying my smoothing cravings at Hang's French Cafe & Smoothies which is right next door you know I had to give them a visit and as I walked in I just didn't expect to see so many options to neatly displayed at this cool shop. One wall is filled the snacks the local love and the easy grab and go does take care of cravings instantly along with some Pop Mart items though isn't quite the snack we sure have been eathing up the rave that's been keeping us guessing ourselves. Many of their items are crafted like specialty popcorn, Hawaiian Frost Soft Serve, Shaved Ice, and even açaí bowls. Keeping the coolness after my smoothie I decided on some dipping' dots as I stared into the display case with the various flavor offerings it was the "Cool Mint Crunch" oh yeah the minty coolness really hit the spot and bits of Oreo was so yummy as it kept me still for a moment as I enjoyed my treat before I continued on my errands taking this me time was just right. Thank you!

The workers are really chill and recommended the soft serve on both times I visited. I tried three…read moredifferent soft serve swirls, but the ube and haupia one would be my favorite one to try if you have a chance to visit, though they do change their flavors every once in a while - Miguel Morales Photography

Fantastic little ice cream shop right next to Costco. Parking can sometimes be a challenge…read moredepending on the time of day but it's definitely worth the visit. You can even make it a pre-Costco shopping delight stop. The menu is always changing but it feels like there's always something delicious to be had. My favorite is the Rocky Road where they actually add marshmallows on top and toast it for you. The Buttah Cakes has also been a recent gem that we've tried lately and it's absolutely delicious. Since it's freshly made, it's rich, creamy, and even a little scoop goes a long way. They even make waffle cones in store if you want to spruce things up for your dessert experience. The staff are friendly and handle rushes of customers well for the size of the shop. We're lucky to have a great shop like this in central Oahu so you don't have to drive all the way to town for a great ice cream fix.

I have been coming here since they were first open but I have not gotten around to reviewing them…read moreuntil now. I was craving ice cream. Let's just say this place changed A LOT over the past years. Service: 3/5 Waited about 5 minutes to get my order taken. There was a couple in front of me and the worker was chatting with them only. I was not aware of what she was doing until I realized I was waiting for a bit so I looked for myself and saw she was making a waffle cone. Would have appreciated if she told me "Be right with you!" She at least said thank you for waiting. Service used to be a bit more efficient from what I remembered in the past. While we were inside and eating our ice cream, 2 parties came in. They were waiting for about 3 minutes and I saw one of them looking around for the worker who went to the back. All we did was just shake our heads at this moment... Food: 3/5 Holy, these scoops though too. My sister and I paid $11 total for these tiny kid looking scoops. Ice cream tasted good but tastes mediocre now. I wanted a fruity flavor so I got the honeydew flavor that tasted like a melona without the stick. My sister's peanut butter and strawberry one was pretty good. However, I remember when they used to have flavors that I could not get elsewhere but it feels pretty basic nowadays. They give bigger single scoops at Baskin Robbin's for the same price or even a couple cents more. Ambiance: 5/5 I say there's ample enough seating and it feels clean and comfortable. I like sitting near the window but I just don't like that their one and only trash can is right next to that table. Verdict: I am not sure if I will be coming back. I noticed their flavors don't change as much as they used to. I remember being excited to see what's new but after today it seems like they been keeping things the same for awhile now. Between the size of the scoops, service, and the flavors I am not sure if I want to come back.

Getting there took us some time- A) my husband and I were driving from the Aiea area to Ewa Beach... on a Friday afternoon, and B) parking was a pain, but we were able to find street parking pretty quickly. We knew what we were getting into before our drive, and I'm so glad we did because it was well worth the trip! The ice cream shop is fairly small- can't hold a lot of people and no seating inside, but there's plenty of tables outside, and the weather outside was just perfect with some sun and a breeze! The line moves quickly, so ordering isn't a pain at all! I ordered their calamansi dreamsicle and my husband got their root beer float, and both were 10/10! I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could've tried more of their flavors (like their strawberry guava one)! First off, the calamansi dreamsicle was really refreshing and creamy; it had hints of citrus, with a lemon/orange taste, perfect for a warm summer afternoon! My husband had the root beer float, which had their house-made vanilla ice cream and root beer from Maui Brewing Company (I didn't even know they made root beer)! It was delicious as well- I loved that I was able to see little black specks of vanilla bean in the ice cream, and the root beer had hints of honey in it! My husband and I knew the root beer tasted different (in a good way), but couldn't put our finger on it until I read the ingredients and saw that honey was one of them! Super yummy!! All in all, my husband and I agreed that we'll be coming back again to try different flavors!

They are situated in East Kapolei: east of…read moreSecond (son) City; west of 'eva the beaccch; north of UH West Oahu and Hawaii Tokai International College. Parking...I was searching for it. Street parking is available but difficult to come by near the store. They are in a plaza on the corner of Hoomohala Avenue and Kauluakoko Street. Domino's is a neighboring tenant. Small inside...but there are tables outside the storefront. They offer beverages: lattes and such. But I was here for Sage's ice cream. A single scoop is $6; double is $9; a pint is $14. Got a single scoop of one of their signature flavors, Kaua'i Kulolo. Fantastic with bits of kulolo imbeded in each sweet and creamy scoop. Hours are from 12 noon till 800p, from Wednesday thru Friday. Weekends they operate from 800a to 800p. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

I found this place on a whim a like 10 years ago and must stop here every time I'm in Oahu. It's on my list of must eats as much as malasadas from Leonard's and coco puffs from Liliha.

I'm only here for the Spanish rolls…read more Sure they have other baked items but something about buttery sticks of dough, lightly sugary is very appealing when warm. Just don't look at the bottom of the box after a couple of mins :0 The hours of operation works for me. There's always a line formed right outside before they open at 4:30 on the weekdays. Like I mentioned, they have other baked goods and they all look good. I'm sure they taste just as good as they look, I just can't verify. Overall five stars. Plenty of parking when I'm there at 4:20 am ;p M

I love this place have great cupcakes. I became a cook cake fan years ago when I was dating a woman…read morewho was making cupcakes and brought me them on my first date some high-end very good cupcakes that's why I went out with her to be frankly honest . She now looks like she makes cupcakes, but it's one of the drawbacks I guess for being in that business is it can't be healthy surrounded by cupcakes. Never trust a fat chef as well as never trust a person in the health industry who's fat . But I digress - these are the best cupcake makers even better than she was, and she could make some hell of a cupcakes. If you're in the area, grab a coffee grab a cupcake. They're very good. They're very nice people as well.

A great breakfast or snack any time of the day. I also ended up getting more Ube pastries. The tutti frutti cinnamon roll for my kids bc I knew they would L.O.V.E. the rainbow fruity pebbles. The cream on top wasn't too sweet n' very light in texture, sorta like a whipped cream. The ensaymada was savory in flavor. The croissant was really good, had an almond paste inside n' on top.

I inhaled the ube pandesal but that ule Bulilit bread? MY KRYPTONITE! The ube jam had my skirt flipping. Ube pandesal is a popular Filipino purple yam bread roll, characterized by its soft, fluffy texture, vibrant purple color, and often filled with cheese and ube halaya (purple yam jam). It is made with flour, yeast, sugar, ube powder/extract, and milk, then coated in breadcrumbs and baked. I learned that ube Bulilit bread is a popular Filipino bite-sized, soft bread filled with sweet, purple yam (ube) jam, most commonly sold by Valerio's Tropical Bakeshop. These small, chewy, golden buns are known for their vibrant purple filling and are often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. They offer a subtle, creamy sweetness and are a staple in Filipino bakeries, particularly in Hawaii. This place is not safe. Had I been the one to enter this establishment, I would leave lighter in the wallet and definitely heavier in weight!

Tips; - Cashless so be sure to have a debit card or credit card on hand. -When visiting Oahu definitely a must stop.

It was a Thursday afternoon, and we mingled with the intrepid tourists who drove to Central O'ahu. This malasadamobile is permanently parked in food truck row. You can see it from the freeway.

I stuck with the classic sugar but we also got some cinnamon sugar and stuffed (dobash and haupia) to share.
