    10/10!!! Let me just say.... Who thinks of creme brûlée over ice cream!?!? Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! Kept it simple with vanilla ice cream and creme brûlée. Tried the banana oat milk and the one and they were ok, I feel like keeping it simple with the vanilla with creme brûlée was clutch. Service was quick and the staff super sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor inside is hilarious and perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Gonna have to add this to my rotation when I visit!

    Banana cookie butter

    Can't stop thinking about how tasty the cookie butter creme brûlée was! Service was super fast and the ladies were very friendly. Definitely hope to go back for more soon.

    Thrills has a parking lot behind their shop, but I didn't realize that it's now a QR code system where you have to pay. I like how they renovated their shop to add new seating. All of their desserts are very creative. I got the hojicha creme brûlée, which is one of my favorite things from here. The creme brûlée topping is so good and has the perfect amount of crunch on the top. The only bummer thing about the creme brûlée is that you can't get their weekly special flavors as the ice cream. This is definitely one of my go-to dessert shops after having dinner in the area.

    Banana oatmilk with chocolate cone

    I only tried one thing so I can only give my opinion on this; the banana oat milk flavor in chocolate cone! Yummy!!! I'm not even vegan or anything but it just sounded good. And wow was it delicious. Their flavors change so I made a good decision. It was light yet creamy and substantial. The crispy chocolate cone much like an Oreo, complemented the banana flavor so well. I wish I could go back for another! My son got the Japanese soda flavor with crème brulee topping and he enjoyed it. Owners were nice and patient when I was so indecisive. No one was waiting in line yet so. Oh and there was a sign that said no samples which is understandable, I don't really sample anyway, I like to gamble ha! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's cute in there with lots of signs. And my favorite color pink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ample seating, beat the heat this summer with chill and Thrills![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Ube with cinnamon toast crunch

    Good soft serve for when you want a sweet treat. I got the ube with Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I like that you can get a topping for free too. Really friendly staff.

    The crème brûlée cookie dough ice cream is dangerously good. The custardy crème brûlée flavor is rich and creamy without being too sweet, and the cookie dough pieces are generous and perfectly soft. The caramelized sugar notes add a subtle crunch and a deep, toasted flavor that takes it to another level. Every bite has a great balance -- smooth, indulgent ice cream with just the right amount of texture from the cookie dough. It tastes decadent but not heavy, which somehow makes you want to keep eating more. If you're a dessert person, this flavor is a must-try. I'd absolutely order it again.

    I really enjoyed my experience here :) The worker that helped me was very kind and attentive in answering all my questions. I came for the Big Island Cookie collab ice cream and it was sooo good. The cookies infused with the soft serve reminded me of Kith Treats... I wish they kept it and that it wasn't limited to only a few days. The ube soft serve was very good too! I've tried it in soft serve form and in the Creme Brulee version. Both very good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Will definitely be back - the interior is super cute and they open later than other dessert places which caters to people like me - who come alive at night lol[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We walked over for dessert after eating at Totoya across the street. It was my first time here even though I pass it all the time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a constant stream of customers for the 20 minutes that we were in the store.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute ice cream shop with lots of catchy phrases on the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We decided on one of the popular combos, Sugar Baby $8.50. It contained sprinkles, teddy grahams, chocolate chips, Oreos, Cocoa Pebbles and Chocolate Pocky's. We had a choice of soft serve and we got the Oreo. We were expecting vanilla ice cream with bits of Oreos in it. However, the ice cream was just brown. It tasted like chocolate ice cream. The Sugar Baby wasn't bad. It was just too much chocolate for me. It would have been better if it was true Oreo ice cream. What caught my eye was the creme brûlée ice cream. Someone ordered that and it looked pretty dope. The ice cream was on the bottom and they blow torched some kind of sugary coating on the top until it hardened. I want to try that the next time I'm here.

    Jheanna C.

    LITERALLY SO YUMMYYY! Service is so fast too. I loveeee their different flavors, and the crème brulee is top tier. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior and merch is cute too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Perfect dessert spot if you're going Ala's or in town!

    Banana oat milk with Mac nuts and chocolate!
    Dana N.

    Delicious refreshing and so ono! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop was super busy and for good reason.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Yummy! There was just one person working and he made every dessert with care and speed! We did not have to wait long and it was worth the wait. Everyone should try this place!

    Sugar baby with ube soft serve
    Andrea M.

    This place has been here and while and I never stopped because I don't really love soft serve. Recently we went to dinner at a place nearby that didn't have any dessert options so we decided to try out Thrills. I had low expectations (again not a huge fan of soft serve) and thought it was mostly a place centered around Instagram foodie shots but I went when they had a special collab with Aiea bowl and offered a lemon crunch cake crème brûlée. I'm not kidding that I think it's one of the best desserts I've had in recent memory. Please please do this collab again, it was so good. My daughter got the ube soft serve sugar baby, she gave it a 10/10 on appearance and taste. Parking can be limited, the parking lot in the back was full when we went and so was street parking. So we had to wait for someone to leave, it only took a couple of minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, nice setting, good place to fulfill your sweet tooth, and super cute aesthetic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Crème Brulee Cosmic Brownie
    Zuri M.

    This was my first time trying out Thrills, and I really enjoyed it. The location is easy to find and convenient. There is an ally next to the shop with some parking. Ala Moana mall is also close enough to park at and walk over. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is clean with a good amount of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff members were very friendly and helpful with making my decision of what to get. I got the crème brûlée cosmic brownie ice cream. It was really good!

    The Creme Brulee and Cookie Butter Sundae
    Damian M.

    Thrills is my go-to restaurant for soft serve in town. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their vibe is playful, branding is fun, service is fast, and provide plentiful seating in and outside the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have plenty of choices that include soft serve, sundaes, and lactos-free options. My go-to is the Cookie Butter Sundae with the banana oat-milk soft serve. A great choice if you are looking for ice cream or a nice cold treat in town.

    They usually change it monthly and post their flavor menu on their IG in the description! Sometimes they'll swap out flavors though

    Are there vegan options?

    Sorry, no we don’t.

    When do they open?

    Opens 12 pm daily until 11pm F/Sat and 10pm Sun-R! :)

The restaurant is located near the Ala Moana Food Court so you can get yourself a savory meal then head here right after. They have a nice selection of Korean Bingsu and Drinks but the Bingsu is what keeps everyone coming back. Don't let it's simple look fool you. The ice is super fine and creamy. You'll receive a small cup of Condensed Milk to drizzle throughout as you devour it. Make sure you don't drizzle it all at once. Popular flavors are Strawberry, Mango, Oreo and Injeolmi (roasted soybean powder) but I must say, the Mixed Berries is gonna be on my top choices from now on! I've tried watermelon too in times past and that's also a refreshing choice. The Bingsu includes slivered almonds and some whipped cream. They have a small size that could be good for 1-2 people but we got a large and it fed 4 of us ladies. Make sure you stop here before you leave Ala Moana and treat yourself!

Located just outside the Royal Hawaiian Center, the shop almost always has a long line, but it moves surprisingly quickly thanks to the convenient self-order kiosks. Despite the steady stream of customers, the staff handled the crowd with impressive efficiency, and our order arrived sooner than expected. With its vibrant layers of color and fresh toppings, the shave ice created a breathtaking first impression. Better yet, it tasted every bit as incredible as it looked. **Hawaiian Rainbow: 5/5** The Hawaiian Rainbow was the perfect sweet treat on a blazing hot day. Layered with housemade coconut spirulina, strawberry, and mango syrups over incredibly soft shave ice, it offered a bright medley of tropical fruit flavors. The shave ice itself was exceptionally smooth and delicate, with a texture reminiscent of fluffy snow that dissolved almost instantly on the tongue. Hidden beneath it was a layer of rich, soft ice cream that provided the perfect creamy contrast to the refreshing flavors. The finishing touches were a generous drizzle of condensed milk and fresh strawberry chunks, whose subtle tang balanced the sweetness beautifully. Homemade mochi added a soft, pillowy chew, while the lychee popping boba contributed subtle floral notes evocative of rosewater. Every element complemented the next, making each spoonful just as enjoyable as the last. Island Vintage Shave Ice more than lives up to its well-earned reputation. From the stunning presentation to the handcrafted syrups, silky-smooth shave ice, and a texturally diverse assortment of toppings, every component came together to create a phenomenal dessert that's every bit as delicious as it is visually captivating. If you're visiting Waikiki, Island Vintage Shave Ice deserves a spot at the top of your must-try list.

The inner shop is fairly small, so the line was outside the door. There aren't a lot of spots for seating, which is a bummer. The service was okay, but really just the bare minimum. I have to say the two standouts for me about this shave ice are as follows: the texture of the ice is fantastic - so smooth. It does also mean that it melts quickly, but it's really pleasant to eat. The other standout is the Mac nut ice cream. It's delicious, the bites of macadamia nut give a little crunch, and it all-around is very balanced with the flavors of the shave ice. I got the Sunset Beach, which is passion orange guava and mango. With the ice cream, I personally don't feel like the condensed milk is necessary, but I could totally be wrong.

My husband asked if we could order as well and that we drove here straight from the airport with a 20 minute detour and was immediately told, "No, this is the last order." He walked out, realized it wasn't even 10:30 yet, and went back in to ask why they were refusing to serve us when we arrived before closing. Instead of simply explaining or apologizing, the employee, Kalei, responded with an unbelievable attitude and said something along the lines of, "People don't realize we have SCHOOL in the morning, but it's okay, I'll take your order then if you want shave ice that bad." WOAH?!?! Seriously? If you close at 10:30, then either serve customers who arrive before 10:30 or change your posted closing time. There was absolutely no reason for the sarcasm or nasty attitude. My husband told her he didn't appreciate the attitude and proceeded to order a strawberry shave ice. She then turned off the TV/screen and told him, "No more ordering for you." At that point it honestly felt like she was going out of her way to be disrespectful just because he questioned why we were being turned away before closing. When he asked for her name, she very boldly told him it was Kalei, advised him of their Google listing, and basically invited us to leave a review and contact her boss, as if she was completely confident nobody would care about how she treats customers. We weren't asking anyone to stay open late. We didn't walk in after closing. We arrived BEFORE closing while another customer was actively being served. The entire interaction could have been handled with basic courtesy, but instead we got sarcasm, hostility, and an employee seemingly trying to embarrass a customer for simply asking to order during posted business hours. One of the rudest and most unnecessarily hostile customer service interactions we've had. Completely unacceptable.
