I scream for ice cream…read more Why is there always a line to get in? Maybe because the ice cream is that good. FYI, so are the shakes unless you get the nene. That one was really too sweet for me No kidding the line does get extremely long but it does move......rather slowly. And it doesn't matter what time of day, there still is a long line. Aside from getting ice cream in a cone, waffle cone (in house made) or cup; you can also get it as a shake or Sunday. They also offer a limited amount of pasties: cookies, muffins, and cake. Personally I like the brownies. They serve coffee, ice or hot. I wonder how an affogato with ube hapia ice cream tastes like? Comment below if you've that combination before. Or any combination, I just want to know if people read this :p If you like the coffee enough, you can get a bag to go. Overall five stars. Because it's ice cream (maybe with coffee) ;p M

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.

Summer is for sweet treats and what better than ice cream?!…read more I've been to their North Shore location, so when I was craving a sweet treat at Ala Moana and walked by Sweet As, I just had to get it! Here they make their ice cream with real fruit. You pick your base, I picked coconut and then you pick your fruit add-on. Since it's mango season, I had to get the mango! Mango and coconut is one of my fav combos ever. I got their nui size (big) and they also have a small keiki size. At first they actually made me a keiki size, and I didn't really notice the difference and took it. But then they made me a second keiki size because of the mixup. We could not finish 2 keiki sizes, but we tried and they were delicious! It's kinda between an ice cream and a frozen yogurt with the texture and sweetness. And I love how the coconut ice cream has little bits of coconut shavings.

Yes, the prices are on the higher side ($10 for sorbet and $11 for ice cream), but honestly, you'll pay about the same for a shaved ice at Island Vintage, and the quality here impressed me so much more. I ended up visiting three times on my trip and wished I had more days to try additional flavors. My favorite was the Lychee sorbet--absolutely incredible. I tried the POG on my second visit, which was good, but didn't hit the spot the same way, so I went back for Lychee again on my last day and was very happy. Henry's is definitely a must‑stop for my next trip.

The sorbets were rock hard and super hard to eat. Might've been easier on a hotter day but felt like we could barely get anything and had to tear the styrofoam and bite it like a giant popsicle. Coffee was good. Probably needed to try it on a hotter day but found it underwhelming.

We decided to come here since the restaurant ran out of mud pie. I had the craving for mud pie so…read morewe gave this place a try. I can't really explain the taste. It's not ice cream and it's not really shaved ice. Hopefully you can see in the pictures what I'm trying to describe. Oh it's Taiwanese style "snow ice". Airy and creamy shaved ice. The mud pie was like coffee ice cream with pieces of chocolate blended in. It was accompanied with watermelon, grapes and mochi. The green tea had a condensed milk drizzle accompanied with grapes, cantaloupe and mochi. Our order came out quite quickly and we were fortunate to get a table. All the tables were taken with a line forming. This is even while it's raining outside. I'm not one really looking for ambiance. It's just filled with people chatting with each other in a full house. I enjoyed it but it's not the same as having a real mud pie. Craving satisfied but not fulfilled.

I preferred the small, charming shave‑ice shops I found on other islands like Kauai. I ordered a simple shaved ice without any of the extra toppings or ice cream, and it was still over $10. And unlike Henry's, where I know the sorbet is made from fresh fruit, I wasn't sure what Island Vintage uses for their syrups. Since Henry's is walkable from here, that's definitely where I'll go instead.

There was also a line outside so that definitely says it's a popular spot. Staff members are really friendly. They welcome you inside.

Mondays are for military service members with a military ID you will get 50% off your scoops of ice cream. I tried the toasted macadamia nut and it was so delicious. I definitely wanna come back and try the chocolate macadamia or the Kona coffee. All these flavors are different and out of this world I wish we had this at home. The specific location is located in the Ilikai hotel, there's some foot traffic because of the small stores that they have in the hotel. But the ambience I got was definitely friendly.

There was only one person working, but he handled the steady flow of customers really well and kept things moving smoothly. They also sell other items like aloe, sunscreen, and tote bags, which is super convenient for being so close to the beach. They have a great variety of ice cream flavors and lots of toppings to choose from, and they let you try samples. I tried the ube, strawberry cheesecake, green tea, and cookies and cream, and ended up getting the strawberry cheesecake and chocolate chip cookie dough with banana and Oreo cookie crumble toppings. I was craving ice cream so badly that I forgot to take a photo before digging in. It was good, and overall this is a super cute spot for a quick and satisfying ice cream bite in Waikiki.
