They take your order and then it seems they don't know how to get their own machine to work! We had triple orange color - passion fruit, mango and peach. Except for the mango the others tasted exactly the same and were sweet but flavorless. They almost seemed like they needed s tiny bit I'd salt to get the flavorsg to come through more strongly. It's a 10 foot wide window with a single service counter. Not sure how they move around back there it seems so tight! There are a few picnic tables in front where you can eat your creation. They have pineapple and coconut dairy free shakes (whips) available as well. Good value.

The new covered picnic tables saved us from getting wet while sitting there. A definite plus.

I know, I know, ice cream is supposed to be sweet but I don't like it when things are overly sweet and I felt this ice cream was. I was hoping for a pineapple coconut or something with guava but they didn't have that. I decided to get macadamia nut ice cream and it tasted good but nothing too special. My hubby got his go-to - mint chip and he enjoyed it. Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance was simple - your regular ice cream shop - this one is kind of on the smaller side so I imagine it can get really busy.

The place is quite a bit smaller than the first location we tried, so be mindful of that. I feel like it'd be quite easy for a line to get backed up here. There are also less flavors in this location, but it didn't matter at all to us. Staff was very friendly, and helpful and we were promptly taken care of. We had a challenging time picking between flavors, so we got 2 different cups with 2 flavors each. Flavors we chose, in no particular order: 1.) Oreo Cookie Crunch, 2.) Mini Peanut Butter Cup n Fudge, 3.) Caramel Coconut Macademia Nut, and 4.) Mauna Kea's Secret. From the lot, the clear favorite was Mauna Kea's Secret, and it wasn't really close. I enjoyed all the other flavors, though they were just not as good in comparison. 4/5 ice cream experience!

I highly recommend getting that one. It was smooth and wealth balanced, and not too sweet. It comes in these cute mason glass jars that you get to keep if you'd like with that that was pretty neat. There are a few areas you can sit at. It was raining so the best place was under the patio. Overall, this place had a great vibe and great coffee!
