    Diamond Head
    Ryan C.

    I got the Diamond Head shaved ice with everything on it, it's aite. The shaved ice texture is like an in between of Matsumoto and Island Vintage so it's not so icy but not super soft (good or bad depending on your preference). The syrup was pretty sweet and there was plenty all over the ice (good or bad depending on your preference). Small scoop of vanilla ice cream under the ice (good or bad depending on your preference).

    I got the rainbow shaved snow, and it had three flavors, being blue vanilla, strawberry, and lilikoi. Topped with condensed milk, mochi, and nata de coco, it's quite a lot of dessert! Underneath the shaved ice is vanilla ice cream, and I'd recommend sharing this with one other person. It was amazing, and my server made it quickly and to order!

    Delicious shaved ice and ice cream. We went back several days in a row because it was that good! My family and I tried many of the items and all were amazing. And the customer service was excellent. Definitely would recommend!

    Matcha Mori

    The location is an open air marketplace . ( next to international market) A little bit hard to find this place but we're here . Shaved ice alone doesn't feel like it would be a great dessert, but here they add some ice cream at the bottom and some mochi balls, and that makes it feel like a worthy treat. I ordered Matcha Mori and enjoyed it . Love the red beans add on so make it flavorful. The staff were friendly and made it with care . Not many places to seat , we all just keep walking around the market to enjoyed yummy dessert with so many things to looked at .

    This is right behind the Hyatt building as a part of the open air market. An unassuming storefront offering some amazing shave ice! There was only one guy working there trying his best to make all the shave ice to order - kudos to him! This makes the wait a little longer if you order after a bigger group (oops sorry!) but with the wait! They have a few combos you can choose from that include all the flavors and toppings and even a caffeinated one! Or you can make your own bowl small or large up to 2 flavors. I like they that don't drown your packed soft shave ice with syrup like Matsumoto's so it's feels light and hits the spot. Although it is slightly more pricier but we enjoyed our shave ice adventure on the last night in Oahu. Come support this local business and then browse the market!

    The hat they sell there

    Shaved ice is a popular treat in Hawaii, so I had to try it. The first time I had some, it was from a convenience store and had the feeling of getting gas station sushi, so I figured I had to try again from somewhere that looked like a more dedicated to the desert place. So we came here. Shaved ice alone doesn't feel like it would be a great dessert, but here they add some ice cream at the bottom and some mochi balls, and that makes it feel like a worthy treat. We even asked about these coins they sell at the counter, and the person in charge of the booth came out to demonstrate the other uses for them (other than just wearing it around your neck that is), so we ended up getting 2 of them, instead of just the one we were planning on. Then later we went back just to get one of the hats they sold there because the shaved ice was great but the service was even better. Not many places to sit around here, but shaved ice in a bowl is a dessert you can get and just keep walking around and browsing the market there. We have a few more days here in Hawaii so I feel we will be going back at least once.

    Lack of flavor. Wasn't tasty at all. Just tasted watery. It's hidden in an alley so it was a little confusing to find at first.

    Strawberry Lava
    Jina K.

    My sister and I were looking for shaved ice that was the perfect icy texture, and this place nailed it! We got the Strawberry Lava which came with strawberry and pineapple flavor, vanilla ice cream in the middle, condensed milk on top, mochi, and coconut jelly. The service was very quick, and the stand had a bench to sit down in front. This was probably the best shaved ice I had and my favorite from this trip! We devoured this in the rain so quick, and I highly recommend coming here for shave ice!

    Nice little stall in a shopping alleyway, awesome find here! From the menu, there's so much to choose from...we settled for the #1 Duke's Rainbow. So much flavor from the different syrup flavors - along with the mochi, jelly, & condensed milk that is also in the shave ice! Easily feeds 2 people Hidden gem, find this place and you'll be rewarded!

    Caffeinated shave ice! Its called the Heisen-blue
    Cheol K.

    Located in the Duke's alley market, this place has some cool themed shave ice. Price is about what you'd expect in the area. Wife ended up getting a blue Hawaiian flavored bowl of shave ice. It was decent, but there were a few other spots we like better.

    We ordered the Diamond Head Dawn shaved ice and it was delicious! The flavors were POG & mango topped with mochi, condensed milk, coconut jelly, and vanilla ice cream. The location is a bit tucked in behind all of the shops under tents and the alleyway, but there's a small bench to sit on right outside the truck. The service was quick! After tax and tip, it was a little less than $12 and fed two for dessert! I'd totally come back and try out more combos and flavors.

    I stopped by here yesterday morning for a coffee and a malasada. While traveling I try to hit up a…read morenew local coffee shop every day and on this morning it happened to be Maleko Coffee and Pastries. This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.

    I came in because I saw that they had vegan donuts. He said I could do guava, blueberry, or plain,…read morebut he recommended the guava. It was less than three dollars including tax, so definitely affordable. The guava filling was great, but the donut itself was kind of bland. If it weren't so cheap, I would have given it three stars. But it was a good deal and I might go back.

    Ala Moana location - closed. Royal Hawaiian Shopping center…read morelocation - closed. This is the only standing Kulu Kulu and I hope this place does not close, or if it does relocate, come closer to Central Oahu where the rent is cheaper, haha (hint). This location is on the outer edges of Waikiki on Hobron Lane in Eaton Square. I rarely venture to Waikiki, and if I do make the dreaded drive to "town", this place and Kan Sushi will be the only regular places where I will make my stop(s), because its so worth it. I've had a long-standing love-affair with Kulu Kulu from the Shirokiya Food Court location with it's waffle bears and Hello Kitty waffles, the takeout Nama Chocolate cups stocked at Mitsuwa Marketplace and now here, in town. The Ube Coconut Mousse $6.95 blew our minds, it was THE best tasting thing, ever. Both the ube and the coconut were not cloying, and as with all of their treats, not overly sweet either. That's why I love Japanese pastries, they get the sweetness just perfect and I have no idea how they mastermind that ratio! Strawberry Panna Cotta $5.95 was creamy, flavorful, delicious and surprisingly light and refreshing for such a creamy dessert. I normally don't get this kind of combination of flavors, and it tasted like something you'd get in a Michellin-rated establishment. Looking back at the photos, I see vanilla bean seeds in the panna cotta, so every loving detail and nuance shows through with each mouthful. Nama Chocolate $5.75 is my go-to chocolate LOVE. It's cut into cool creamy semi-sweet squares dusted with cocoa and it melts in your mouth! This is my favorite of all things that Kulu Kulu makes. I actually enjoy this better than the famous Royce Chocolates from Japan. We ordered another seasonal Strawberry dessert slice cake but it was eaten before I could review (and/or taste it); I've heard it was very very delicious. This place is so good that I plan to bring my friends who will be visiting from Virginia here to try their pastries. I also plan to support this business for as long as I can and make more frequent trips to town just to get these amazing desserts.
