The almond cookie ice cream is to die for. We met the owner and she told us the cookies are made in house. We stopped for almond cookie gelato three out of the seven days on a vacation. Feel free to taste all of the flavors, but you'll end up ordering the almond cookie. Make it a double scoop with the waffle cone.... If I'm wrong, please report me read more

Via Gelato - Almond cookie gelato, double scoop with waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Came in early afternoon on a Monday with no line or crowd except for 1 person studying. I was bummed to hear they had no ice cream cakes available. The flavors offered were great. Some classics and other local flavors. I got the Mango Sticky Rice and Lilikoi. Next time I'd try their guava and black sesame, and Halo Halo. Prices were ok but dang "shrink-flation" really sucks in regards to serving sizes. I like the ample seating and benches outside. Would I come back again? I would and probably come back to study if I'm wanting splurge. But if I'm in the area and wanna save money... I'll just go to the library. read more

Via Gelato - Inside - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We went to Via Gelato as it's very close to Marujuu. Was a bit disappointed that Marujuu's soft serve ice cream machine wasn't working. Via Gelato usually has a long line but we were lucky. I saw a poster on the counter top advertising Halo Halo. I like halo halo so I was very interested in trying it. Oh it was so good. I wish i had asked what ingredients went into making it. I know Ube ice cream and flan. I'm not sure the rest. All i can say is that it was really good. I just wish that it was a little cheaper or a little more. It's not cheap and it's not a lot. Well I have the pictures so you decide. I will say that it was really good. We lucked out. After our order it became very crowded. All the tables were full and a line formed outside the door. Yes it is quite popular and they do serve really good Gelato here. Just a little too high price for my halo halo. The staff was very friendly and it didn't take that long to prepare my halo halo. Lucky we came when we did as it got super busy. Only 4 stars cause of the price. Would definitely be 5 stars just for how good it tasted. read more

This place is convenient to get to by car, as there is street parking and public parking (at reasonable prices) nearby. I recently visited my favorite ice cream and gelato shop after a long time. The ice cream here is perfect for gifts. If you're struggling to find a gift for someone, I recommend their seasonal flavors. I've received it as a gift before, and I was so happy. After all, it's delicious, has original flavors, and nothing beats homemade sweets. They also have vegan options, so it's suitable for a wide range of gift recipients. Please see the photos for the flavors and menu options. Some flavors change seasonally. Today, I tasted a new flavor: red bean and strawberry! This flavor reminds me of strawberry mochi (rice cake). The harmony of red bean paste and strawberry spreads in my mouth. Today, I chose a large container of lychee gelato and black sesame honey crunch flavor. The lychee is made with fresh lychees, so it's wonderfully delicious. It would be delicious to make a frozen lychee margarita with this. The sesame honey crunch is also healthy and the honey has a delicious punch! It's creamy, and black sesame is good for your health, so it's recommended for health-conscious people! I will definitely come back again. 人気のアイスクリーム、ジェラード屋さんに久しぶりにきました。　 ここのアイスクリームは、ギフトにも、最適。プレゼントに困る相手がいたら、ここのシーズンフレーバーをおすすめします。 私は、ギフトにもらった経験があり、なによりも、嬉しいかったです。なんといっても、美味しくて、オリジナルのフレーバーな上に、自家製の甘いものに、勝るものなし。 ここは、近くに路駐パーキング、公共のパーキング(リーズナブル)があるので、車でいくのは、便利です。 季節ごとにフレーバーが、変わるものがあります。今日は、わたしには、新しい味をテイスティングしました。あずきといちご！これは、いちご大福餅を連想する味です。あんこといちごのハーモニーが、口に広がります。今日は、ライチジェラートの大きい容器と、黒胡麻のハニークランチ味を選びました。ライチは、フレッシュのライチを使っているので、素晴らしく 美味しい。これで、フローズンライチマルガリータを作ったら、美味しいそう。 胡麻ハニークランチも、健康によく、ハニーにパンチが効いて美味しい！クリィーミィなのに、 黒胡麻は、健康によいから、健康志向の方にも、おすすめ！また、来ます！ read more

I am very easily influenced by the email newsletters I receive about the new offerings and stories behind each flavor. This last visit to Via I got a pint of the Fire Horse Gau, three Rum n Raisin sandwich cookies, and a double scoop. I went a little overboard, I think... The matcha is outstanding. I will definitely return for this. The gau flavor is interesting; I'm glad I got to try it but I don't think I'd get it again next year if it's available. I LOVE rum and raisin ice cream and I love oatmeal cookies. Even though I wasn't wowed by the combo, all three sandwiches were gone in no time at all. Online ordering and delivery is an option if you can't come in person! read more

Haven't been to Via Gelato in a longtime since we now live on the west side. This is my favorite gelato place on Oahu. I don't mind paying $4 a scoop, but what I got tonight was not even a scoop. Paid $8 for 2 scoops and the scoops were more like half a scoop...ridiculous. Quality of the gelato here is great, and don't mind paying for a good gelato, but please don't be a rip off. Big turn off for me. read more

Second time here and not disappointed at all. There's a wide selection of flavors and you can sample. The service is great and very efficient. My choice was a 1 scoop split of Almond Cookie and Houjicha Honey Milk. A scoop is quite a bit and it was so yummy. As for the ambiance we enjoyed our sweet treat indoors. read more

Convenient location in Kaimuki! I don't visit this place too often but their gelatos are always fire. I love their black sesame and houjicha gelatos. For 2 scoops, I paid about $8 with a cone. I believe it's a little cheaper if you get a cup. The staff is helpful and prompt. You get 3 samples per customer. Free parking isn't always available but the gated parking lot has a 20 minute grace period :) read more

Such a cute spot! They had 4 vegan flavors the day we went. Lychee and haupia were a hit! Free rainbow sprinkles for the kiddos which they really enjoyed! The waffle cone was a bit sweeter which I enjoyed. The matcha was so good! Also got a scoop of the pitaschio but enjoyed the matcha more. Kids asked to go back again already! read more

Single scoop is around $5. The yuzu sherbet was mid and was leaning towards a lemon-y flavor instead of yuzu. read more

We were there just this morning at opening. The guy was really nice, the place is clean, and so many flavors to choose from. My sons gf asked me Earl Grey? My response was not very nice because I don't care for the tea. It's so good, I think I need to try the tea again. read more

Via Gelato - Black sesame Gelato with mochi - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I LOVE that their flavors are their own creations! They have some unique flavors and they change them out from time to time. My favorite flavor is Earl Grey (when they have it)! They also have ice cream sandwiches and cakes. They will sell pints of their ice cream so if you want that, you walk in the store and keep going straight and there's a freezer right there. Atmosphere - Bright feeling and bright lights. It's colorful with their items. Service - The people who work here are so friendly and really helpful. They do samples so you can ask them. You are restricted to how many samples you get so choose your top ones :). Cost - $4 depending on what you get. They do have a mini size and they have cups or cones. The waffles cones always smell so good! Parking - You can do metered street parking (free after a certain time) or park in the lot right next to it and it'll cost you around $2. Location - It's in Kaimuki and next to a Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant. This is definitely a place that I take people to as well because they use local flavors and I like the flavors they try out! read more

Via Gelato - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

After eating dinner in the surrounding area we decided to have some dessert at Via Gelato. This is the first time I came here and they had a great variety of flavors to choose from. They even have coffee (I considered affogato). They limit you to sampling up to 2 flavors but that should be more than enough to have you decide what you want. All of their flavors are homemade and they have so they have something for everyone. Ultimately I decided on a Guava sorbet with Vanilla Bean gelato. The flavors on both of these were pretty spot on to what you would think it would be. You have the option of cup or a variety of cones; I went with a cup since I was pretty full from dinner. The girls who were working were very friendly and willing to assist you any way the can. When I asked to try the Guava she had told me that it was one of her favorites because of how genuine it tasted. As for seating inside the shop they had maybe 20 available seats but they also had a couple benches outside the store to sit as well. Depending on how and where you sit the volume level will vary but it's not any louder than I would expect it to be. There is ample parking available in either of the paid lots. I highly recommend if you are in the area. I'm looking forward to going back so I can try other flavors as well as the affogato. read more

Good service; they limit tasting to two flavors per person. I want to try their houjicha ice cream, but they don't have it. I had their matcha flavor instead. But the ice cream doesn't have a strong matcha taste. I was little disappointed. read more

We came by here after dinner with a big group of 13. The AC inside was pretty bad, it honestly felt like it wasn't even on, so we ended up eating our gelato outside. At least the gelato itself was really good! I got the Oreo cookies and cream and the texture was nice and creamy, which I really enjoyed. As for the service, that's a completely different story. I understand handling a big group can be tough, but what happened here was unnecessary. One of the scoopers mentioned 4-5 times that there was a two-sample maximum, which was fine by me. I got one sample, stepped aside to let my girlfriend try hers, and when I came back for my second (and last) sample, he hit me with "isn't this your 3rd sample?" First of all, who cares if it was--those samples are like 10 cents worth at most . Second, we had a group of 13 people, which is a lot of business for one stop. A small thing like that shouldn't be made into such a big deal. Thanks to that service, they ended up losing 13 future customers. read more

Wow I missed Via Gelato and I can't believe I have not been back here in so long. Since my last visit, Via Gelato has only gotten better. When I visited this week the place was buzzing. I love the location and space and service is still great. The flavors are tasty, Rocky Road, Cookies & Cream, Ube, Vanilla Bean, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Haupia, Guava, Green Tea Matcha. My wife and I shared a Grande Sunday and it was delicious. The Grande is perfect for sharin. We had three flavors of ice cream, Rocky Road, Salted Caramel and Cookies and Cream. The warm hot fudge, whip cream and Cherry was the highlight. Support Local and Kamaki and visit Via Gelato. read more

If you're looking for some delicious creamy treats, look no further! Via Gelato will hit all the marks for everything you want in a dessert. Located in Kaimukī, it's a quaint place to grab a bite of cool gelato. They have a wide variety of rotating flavors that are all handmade. Each one is better than the next. They have gelato cakes, sundaes and sandwiches. The only downside is that they no longer seem to have sugar free versions of their gelatos so now my parents need to go elsewhere for treats. read more

I stumbled upon this amazing gelato place in Kaimuki! The flavors are so authentic, like Lycee, Haupia, and Matcha. And the prices are reasonable too. The ambiance is super cozy and inviting, it feels like a cute little coffee shop in Seoul, Korea! And service is customer focus! Also, reminds me of the Bubbies Ice cream shop in Manoa! The place was busy late Saturday night! Glad to see a lot of people out enjoying ice cream. I highly recommend you give this local ice cream shop a try! I definitely will return! read more

I tried the Haupia and rocky road combination. The Haupia was light and the flavor tasted of fresh coconut milk. The rocky road was sweet and overwhelmed the haupia flavor. The store front and interior are clean and colorful. Inside the store, there are tables and chairs for patrons to sit and enjoy the gelato. Service was nice and we were allowed to try samples of the gelato. Freezers contained take home pints and other goodies for purchase. Check in on Yelp for a free sticker.

Honestly I thought I would love this place so much more. It's probably partially my fault but it wasn't living up to the "hype". I got the lilikoi sorbetto and it was meh. Just okay. I asked the young girl at the counter some questions and she said if you like tart you'll like the lilikoi one which I already kinda selected from the fridge. Was it tart? Not at all! Maybe my definition of tart is different but I was expecting like an Italian ice kinda citrusy flavor. I don't blame the girl at the counter because it's my fault that I didn't pick something else however the lilikoi lacked in the tartness but also the flavor. I was disappointed especially since a pint is $14. I went in there looking for the Guava sorbet. Tried the special which was the mountain apple and my mom was like you should have got the yuzu. Oh i recently discovered that I'm lactose intolerant so that's why I was so excited to try this place. I'll come back but I'll explore more options next time. Hopefully I'll like it because I love supporting smaller businesses. read more
