I was craving something sweet and found this place on Yelp. They're located on Piikoi St near Ala Moana. Parking is an ish but if you're lucky like me, you'll find metered parking right outside of their store. Upon arrival, it appeared to be quite an instagramable environment. I was the only customer mid-afternoon. After viewing the menu, I ended up getting the mango ice cream with toasted marshmallow on top. The combo was interesting because it had that sweet/sour thing going on. I really enjoyed it! Service was great! The lady behind the counter was very helpful in assisting me with making my decision of what to get. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area and able to find a parking spot! read more

Been wanting to visit this place for years and finally had the chance to do so. It was hard to find parking. Great vibes inside, they also sell merch which is great. Loved the different dessert options that they have and they also switch their flavors pretty often. Great quality and service is good. They make everything fresh so you know it's delicious! read more

My boyfriend and I went here for our Hawaii trip. Overall, this place was okay. Parking was a bit difficult to find. They have a variety of flavors and merch. My boyfriend ordered the crème brûlée Oreo pandan and we couldn't really taste the pandan. read more

Thrills Soft Serve - Crème brûlée - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

First time trying Thrills! Ordered the Crème Brûlée with banana-chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce, and the Calpico white Peach special. Both were delicious and creamy smooth. The crème brûlée topping is thin and crisp with perfectly matched banana chocolate ice cream. The white peach flavor was peachy delicious, strawberry pocky, Oreo cookies, sprinkles and mini mochi adorned the edge of the cup. Both were sweet and satisfying for a warm evening treat. Thanks to "Best Friends " for the recommendations. read more

Went to try the strawberries made to mimic the Dubai chocolate bar that has knafeh, pistachio cream and chocolate. Not bad for $10. My girlfriend and I both found it to be tasty and definitely worth a try. My only issue is with the logistics of the way they were taking orders. We were told it was a 15 minute wait and were given a number. Instead of calling out the number when it was ready, we had to go back to the counter to check and pick it up. We were one of few groups sitting inside the store without our order so I assumed they would just let us know, but it wasn't until we saw the person who ordered after us walk out with 3 orders that we knew it was time. And we had to wait a little while longer on top of "checking in" on the order. read more

Thrills always has many people talking about it's super cute aesthetic in the store, and also their friendly staff, and it showed when I went to visit them in person! The sweets on top of that were amazing - I've tried a couple over my past few visits, but the last one I tried was a S'mores one with Ube flavoring and I was so happy not only with how it looked in photos, but how it tasted. Gooey, creamy, and sweet - the perfect snack for a hot summer day and you happen to be walking in Honolulu. If you haven't had a chance to try them yet, make sure to mark Thrills down as a must-visit for your next trip - Miguel Morales Photography read more

My husband and I were able to try the ube fried sandwich that had cream inside, it was good not overpowering. We enjoyed both of the halves we had eaten. Street parking can get tough, service was pretty quick, I would come back again to try other items served! read more

Came here because a YouTuber I watch recommended it and I've been wanting to come ever since. I had very high hopes for it and came out of my way to try. I was a little bit confused about how the menu worked but we both tried the Dubai chocolate. It was very good but very small especially for $9. The service was also not super friendly but the shop is cute and nice for photos read more

The Ice cream looked better than it tasted. I thought it had too much sesame flavoring and it wasn't at all what I expected from an ice cream but if you eat it with the toppings it was better. It's really cute inside but idk if I would go again unless there is a flavor that I really like read more

Got the honey milk with sprinkles and slay bitch slay with the Oreo ice cream. Comes with lots of things on top which is fun but the ice cream did have a weird after taste. I believe the ice cream is dairy free so may have been related to that. The workers with nice. Not much seating inside. read more

The service was okay. The store was cutely decorated and clean. They offered interesting flavors, and I believe they change them once in a while. I only tried the black sesame oreo on a charcoal waffle cone, and I enjoyed the flavor a lot. read more

I've walked by Thrills more times than I can remember, but after a beach day with my husband and dog, we decided to give it try -- and we're so happy we did! Not only was their soft serve very velvety and delicious, but their Ube and Charcocoa waffle cones were also amazing! As for the shop, it's cute enough; very welcoming, clean, and "hip". Not necessarily my aesthetic choice, but it's non offensive regardless and who really cares anyway when the ice cream slaps so hard? The worker behind the counter was very sweet and complimented our dog! We always appreciate the love our little angel gets :) read more

Came in and had the Dubai chocolate strawberries and Oreo creme brulee. Service was fairly quick about 5-10 minutes to prepare your items. They have seating indoors.

Tasty soft serve but I'd say it is on the pricey side. Very aesthetically pleasing dessert for sure, worthy of the gram. For me personally though it costs more than the joy it gives me. The ambiance is nice inside but service was just ok. read more

First things first they're the Thrillest A small ice cream shop next to Ala Moana Center is probably aesthetic incarnate, bright colorful wallpapers, flower walls, neon lights, with unique sayings or backdrops for delicious ice cream I tried the matcha mango soft serve which was dairy free and had a surprisingly refreshing twist, while not specifically tasting like mango or matcha, it was still balanced and not overly sweet. The two workers were really nice by offering samples and explaining the flavors, and seem just as friendly and funny as their Tiktok presence suggests. read more

Thrills Soft Serve - Sundae & crème brûlée - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

First time going to try Thrills Soft serve which was very very good and very clean with many hand sanitizer around the shop to use for your convenience. Counter person was very personable and friendly and helpful! I ordered the Taro & Lavender soft serve it was very good and flavorful I got mind in a bowl but they also have cones if you prefer. My wife had the Oreo fudge with lucky charms and she also enjoyed her choice and had no complaints. Matt had the Ramune with fruity pebble's and he also enjoyed his pick, he said you can taste the Ramune flavor. Kesha had the Very Much That which is one of a few set that they sell with mochi ball, Oreos, Poki sticks and sprinkles, with Taro & Lavender soft serve. They also have outside seating if you wish to seat outside. They change their flavors weekly! They have street parking and parking in the back not sure if it is free because we found street parking in front of the store. Need to go back and check out the other flavors, when we were there the number 1 flavor was Taro & Lavender. read more

SERVICE: 5/5 ICE CREAM: 5/5 Their ube & pandan coffee is SOO good. I just wish they did swirls tho b/c I wanted both!! decent portion size, and their ube cone is quite flavorful for a clone tbh. sucks that some of the toppings cost extra (like $1+ dam) but this is a must when visiting hawaii! it's so good & can't wait to come back to try this when I'm back in hawaii!!! be aware: parking's ass. read more

Thrills Soft Serve - pandan! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

GET THE CREME BRULEE! If I could just leave my review to that, I would. I've been here 4x and the last three times I always get the creme brulee. Any soft serve with a drizzle sauce mixed with the custard and caramelized sugar... you got yourself a FREAKING GOOD creme brulee. They also have preset/signature soft serve combos if you're into a lot of toppings. I'm not really into that because it gets hard to eat but it's aesthetically pleasing like the design of the shop. They rotate flavors every month but the flavors are always really rich and is probably best even without toppings IMO. Service is good. I've always gone during non-peak hours where it's usually empty or just before it gets busy so I never had a problem. 3 out of the 4 times I've been here, it was my dessert after Ichiriki so it's a nice transition from a hot meal to a cold treat. read more

Not gonna lie, the service is sub par. The two owners are always working when I visit, but one of them is literally never smiling. I've been a customer for years and her demeanor is always the same...flat and uninterested in her craft. No aloha, no hello, just bored. It just feels so sterile every time I walk in. The flavor menu changes frequently, with ube being the only permanent flavor. (They do ube the best, i'll give them that)! Here's my $14.40 order... "Bad B* in a Cup" - Milo Cookies and Cream flavor with Oreo pieces, pocky and a torched marshmallow. It tasted just like milo, so extra brownie points. "Matcha Lavender" - Tasted like a bad/old batch of matcha that they decided to hide by slapping "lavender" to the name. It lacked sweetness and tasted so sour. There was no noticeable lavender flavor whatsoever. The worst matcha flavor and lavender flavor desert i've ever had. After stopping by regularly for years, i've decided to keep this shop in the archives for good. Sure, their flavors sound fun. But their service makes me feel so sad...and that matcha lavender...that was a major fail lol. With all the options this island has to offer, I think it's best to spend my coin elsewhere. read more

HUGE social media presence which is great for the shop! I've been here once and wasn't that impressed but then I saw their new addition of the crème brulee soft serve ice cream and had to check it out. It's located next to Ichiriki and Teapresso on Piikoi Street. Parking is a bit terrible as there's three or four street parking right in front or a paid lot in the back that always seems to be full. As I mentioned, had to try the crème brulee soft serve! I was able to choose the flavor of my ice cream and also a topping. I went with ube ice cream and a honey topping. I can't really remember what topic I chose tbh.... because I didn't really get a taste of it in my ice cream.... LOL. But definitely the ube and crème brulee was there! The cup was kind of small for the price paid. But we're just paying for the cool crème brulee feature! The ice cream itself was overall okay. Nothing too spectacular about this stood out especially since I ALWAYS choose ube flavor things. The crème brulee was just okay too. The entire dessert actually melted relatively quickly after the crème brulee was added on top. Expected because of the torch, but I couldn't really enjoy my dessert without having to worry about it melting all away. Sad. I was again unfortunately unimpressed by the quality of the ice cream. BUT the entire gimmick and advertisement of the new ice cream was 110% great because I found out about it through IG and TikTok! It was a miss for me but maybe it'll be a hit for others! read more

I had this place bookmarked with a note of "unique ice cream flavors" so I was a bit bummed when we came and the flavors currently offered weren't super special. We decided on the "Baddie" sundae, which has chocolate pocky, brownies, Oreos, Reese's puffs and a toasted marshmallow. We substituted the choc nut ice cream for ube instead. It was a beautiful looking sundae, and delicious, but I think it's something I can find back home. I was hoping for a more unique combo but I think I just came at the wrong time. Hopefully we'll catch some yummy seasonal flavors next time around! Parking was really difficult to find on a Sunday evening. We circled multiple times. Then we realized the place was literally across the street from Ala Moana so we just parked there and walked over! Also, right now as of January 2022 you can't dine in. This is a tough kinda place to get takeout because you want to eat it right away! We just walked back to our car really quickly and ate it right away even though it was starting to melt. read more

Really enjoyed the fun flavors of their soft serve and friendly service. One thing to note (that I wish I knew before going) was NOT to pay parking in the paid lot in the back of the building - pay from the app using the QR code in the store. It would have cost $2 vs $7! Might be something for the owners to post in their info section. read more

Such a great dessert place to stop by after a meal or if you're wanting to crave your sweet tooth. Love their limited time special desserts and combinations. The aesthetics inside the store was also very viby. We ordered the creme brûlée with ube milk and it was soooo good. The crispy creme brûlée went well with every bite of the ice cream. Plenty of desserts to choose from which is a plus. read more

Have a guilty pleasure for soft serve?? Sure, everyone does and Thrills has what you need to satisfy your guilt. Located on Pi'iko'i next to Ichiriki with either street parking or the metered parking lot behind the building (with access on Kona St). They do have indoor and outdoor seating, but with COVID, they are currently, like everyone else, only doing take out. No biggie, you'll only need 3 mins to engulf your pick right??? Currently, they are only open from 1p - 9p so hopefully these times fit your craving times. A few tips on parking... if street parking is open, take'um but usually we park at the Mall and walk over... since we can't eat their anyway, walking and eating back to the car is an adventure that's worth the risk ;D Service hea has always been pleasant when I venture in and the flavor selections do have a regular rotation, but it's their toppings that keep me coming back! I love Teddy Grahams, cereal and Oreo crumbs... the Ube toppings are just okay to me, but to each their own. My go to flavor hea is the Match Oreo Ube when they do have it... The Ube alone was just okay but need to try their Strawberry Yakult my friend told me about... heard was ono!!! Till my next venture to Thrills, Grind On, Pau!!! read more

Pretty good ice cream would rate it more a 3.5 since it wasn't memorable per se. The interior has cute aesthetics. Service was friendly and helps that it's very close to the ala moana shopping center. read more

My cousin and her family are in town from the mainland and wanted to meet up for Boba or something cold to eat. She was craving Ube soft serve and heard of Thrills. This'll be all of our first time. Honestly, I don't really know much about this business except she texted me their address and they open at 1pm. As a townie, you already know parking is a challenge. I arrived first and wanted to check out the menu, the guy who greeted me was very friendly and welcoming. He pointed out that they have several flavors this week. I must say the shop is really cute, super hipster, perfect for social media posts/stories. Now we're ready to order but see that there were other customers inside so they asked only 6 people at a time, One by one we ordered. I personally don't like to think to make my dessert. I prefer to just order an already created item. I understand it can be overwhelming to take orders from a group of customers, maybe it was just me I don't know, there seemed to be a different vibe with the girl compared to the guy helping to make our orders. It almost felt as if each of us was being a bother asking her for this or that, and that each extra topping was free or going to be a charge. We don't mind paying for it, especially when the kids came all the way down here for dessert, and I will pay premium for good quality ice cream with good customer service. Everything we had was yummy and pretty to look at. Only 6 people allowed in the store, with only 4 seats and 2 tables outside, while all the chairs and benches inside closed off didn't make sense to me. Also, samples weren't available, while other ice cream/gelato shops have it as a courtesy. Wouldn't one want to sample to satisfy their curiosity? Maybe I'll come back again if someone else suggests this place. read more

I only started trying this place in the past year or so. I know the owners kill it on Instagram and TikTok, so it's really cool to see a small business with young local owners. I can only imagine how challenging it is to own and operate a shop in this state and current market. I'm sure other people feel like this was all hype, my partner and I included, so we tend to check spots out a little later than usual. This review comes after a few recent visits. Overall, I really like the shop's ambiance and product marketing. It's definitely a new era and people want more than just ice cream, people want an experience and something to post about, and that habit/taste isn't gonna change. I feel like Thrills does this well. The unique seasonal combo's tend to have cultural names such as "cute na cute," which is a Filipino-inspired ubae concoction. My friends and I find them funny but we also appreciate that they include the flag or some representation of the culture/country that inspired the creation. My partner also loves the crème brûlée option. Lastly, I have to say that this is also becoming a sought after post-dinner or post-hang out option for my friends and I to satisfy our sweet tooth cravings. Parking is limited but you can find parking on the street, or in the lot across the street. For people who live or work in town, I think it's pretty easy to get to once you find parking. I can see why some folks who live farther might not be too inclined about that. But maybe this is another future opportunity for them to add a new location somewhere else. I also want to add that they have a dairy free option called strawberry chocolate that I like! Lastly, I think their merch is cute so I recently got their black "Thrills" shirt with baby blue text. I think Thrills brings a little bit of "ice cream shop nostalgia" with modern aesthetics and taste, and this differentiates themselves from traditional ice cream shops. It also reminds me a lot of boba shops, which are just as popular nowadays so I wish Thrills the best! My only other question/critique is if Thrills can compete on ice cream alone? (In regards to taste, price, etc) For more conservative customers, I can see why Thrills doesn't really entice them, but also maybe that's not their target market anyway. Either way I know I'll be visiting again soon! read more

They're very quick & make your ice cream look fun. The ube ice cream and ube cone are tasty even with our the extra toppings. One free cereal topping the orders are .50 to $1 I ordered one of the pre determined cones, they gave one less teddy graham than was shown. I didn't complain as I didn't need it. They set it in the cone holder when it was done making for a cute photo. I highly recommend trying this in Honolulu! read more

We brought our kids today (6/8) around 7 pm. I've never been particularly impressed by this place; the flavors are decent and the cones are fun, but for the price it's nothing special, so I've never written a review until now. That said, I was pretty annoyed tonight by the staff. First off, the guy (glasses, cap, and gold chain necklace) that was working kept interrupting my daughter while she was ordering. The conversation was essentially: "Can I get [flavor] with..." "In a cone or cup? "In a charcoal cone with..." "Toppings?" "Can I please have [topping] and..." "Anything else?" "Can I also get [topping]..." "Anything else?" I almost spoke up to tell him to calm down because it was pretty clear my daughter wasn't done talking. If that wasn't enough, when my wife and son joined us after a few minutes, we wanted to order something for our son, and the two employees were nowhere to be found. I said "excuse me?" a couple times before the guy came back out, and did the same interrupting thing to my son too. Like I said, I was never particularly impressed by Thrills in the past, but my kids love the fun flavors and cones, but now I guess it's time to find another ice cream place where the staff at least is polite. read more
