There were a group of people being served inside the shop with another two groups of ppl ahead of me. From the outside looking in, it felt like it was supposed to be a whole experience. I was solo, so I went in with the group of 3 before me. Come to find out, the staff were two teenagers under 15 that were far more invested in chatting about their personal lives with patrons in their age range than selling gelato. After taking their time with the sampling, the chatter kept going on. There was zero sense of urgency or even acknowledgment that I was standing there waiting with people lining up outside the shop. When it was finally my turn, the kid pretty much had an attitude. Completely different treatment from the ppl ahead of me. He seemed to wanna rush through my turn. Anywho, I sampled the blue meadow and smoked chanterelle. They both tasted like nothing of those flavors. I chose the Tom Kha and Mauka Trail. Mauka was good and the Tom Kha got me in a chokehold. That flavor was incredible. Who'd thought a soup flavored gelato was gonna be that amazing? I got it a second time before leaving the island. Also tried the orange chocolate which was good as well. Lots of interesting flavors here. As far as quality, it's not the creamiest and a bit icy. Still a good dessert option if you're not in a hurry since service could be slow if there's a line.

She aslo informs us that all the equipment would be cleaned. We both got the Tropical Thunder, it comes with: acai base with blueberry cinnamon granola, bananas, pineapple, papaya, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries and he added chocolate syrup. The fruits were fresh and juicy. I felt refreshed with every bite. The location has indoor and outdoor seating. We decided to eat outdoors! This place was so good, we were a repeat customer the next day!

We got a latte with soy milk and a latte with oat milk. We tried Kona coffee from a few places now…read moreand this was the first place where we could really taste the unique Kona coffee flavors - earthy, chocolatey (especially with oat milk; with soy, you can taste the soy flavor a bit and the Kona coffee flavor's not as strong). Came back a few more times since it's so good and their lattes are very consistent! We also tried their vegan chocolate croissant. They helped us warm up the croissant, but it was still cold on the inside (the chocolate filling and bottom side of the pastry). That was a bit disappointing, but it still tasted good and probably would have been even better thoroughly warmed! (The ice cream is NOT vegan for those wondering if it's vegan ice cream. We inquired since they don't serve cow milk in their coffees, so we thought maybe their ice cream was so vegan.)

The clam chowder was seriously THE BEST I've ever had! It's an absolute MUST! It is a little pricey, but you're in a tourist town, eating fresh seafood with an ocean view, so that's pretty expected and I didn't think the prices were outrageous. Good service. The decor is a little outdated, but honestly, that's kind of part of the Hawaii charm. We tried quite a few of the popular restaurants along this stretch while we were in Kona, and The Fish Hopper was easily our favorite.

The Chowder I Still Think About…read more We stopped by for our first meal during a staycation in Kona. Right across the water, we had the most beautiful view. Our friendly server raved about their clam chowder and told us how famous it was. Of course, I had to get a cup. My only regret? Not getting the bread bowl for a bigger serving. The chowder was rich, creamy, and so good that I still think about it. You know a dish made an impression when you're regretting the size you ordered long after the meal is over. Definitely a must-go-back the next time I'm in Kona and cruising down Ali'i Drive. And yes, I'm getting the bread bowl next time.
