Mangiamo Gelato in the new food court has some of the best gelato we've had! Every flavor we tried…read morewas rich, creamy, and incredibly smooth - it truly melts in your mouth. Our entire family loved it, and we'll definitely be back. My personal favorites were the coffee and pistachio flavors, which were both absolutely delicious. The only minor downside was during the sampling process. I asked to try two different flavors, but both were placed on the same tasting spoon, making it difficult to taste each flavor individually. It would have been nice to sample them separately before deciding. Overall, that was a very small issue compared to how amazing the gelato was. If you're looking for a delicious dessert, I highly recommend stopping by Mangiamo Gelato!

I highly recommend coming here for dessert!…read more Favorite flavors so far are the kona coffee, caramel dark chocolate, pineapple lihing, and chocolate hazelnut. But there are still many more flavors to try, so I'll be back! Staff have been very nice and offered great service. They are located at the end opposite the bar and nearest to the bathrooms.

Great and unique froyo options, with the opportunity to sample. I feel like I had a staff adult portion of froyo and I paid about $14, which I believe was well worth it, but it may get pricey if you bring a full family in. Topping choices were light such as coconut flakes, mini chocolate chips, and fruit. They were the perfect complement to the light and tasty froyo options such as Ube, Tart, Mango, Pineapple, and Lychee this week. It seems like they may have some/one rotating flavor to introduce something new and exciting every so often! There are indoor seating options to best the heat and to enjoy your treat, which not a ton all local ice cream/sherbet/shaved ice joints have! The decor was cute and on theme, nothing stuck out to me in particular, except for the fact that the machines and topping area felt very clean and well-maintained, which truly is all I can ask of a froyo shop! Overall, it is a great stop across from some good restaurants, it makes for the perfect post-dinner or mid-afternoon treat, with kind and polite staff.

Aloha Greek is located in Waikiki along Kuhio Ave, nestled right inside the Outrigger Waikiki…read moreParadise Hotel. Parking in Waikiki is pretty difficult as you might expect; you can try and find street parking along the Ala Wai or you can park in paid lots, such as at International Marketplace. The concept of the store is self-serve, and you can select from a variety of flavors, such as plain/tart, honey, mango, ube, coffee, and more. The store itself is relatively small but clean, with some seating inside. The store workers are pretty friendly, and sometimes you may find them outside the store giving out free samples. I tried all the flavors, and I personally liked the tart, honey, and mango flavors the best! However, I did find that the price per ounce was pretty expensive -- typically the total cost will range from $10-20, which makes it a more costly option compared to nearby ice cream stores. I do like coming here if I'm craving some frozen yogurt after a meal. Would recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

Wonderful in every way. The shop itself is small and cute. We had the strawberry pint, the flavor…read moreis fun but I loved the consistency, it was like a mix of ice cream, sherbet, and shave ice: creamy in a way but not too icey and not too diluted. We also had a limited run waffle hot dog, very cool and different. The service was above and beyond. Everyone there was so nice and lovely. They embody top notch service that genuinely created a memorable experience from a local mom and pop shop that cares about their customers.

Saw on Instagram that there was Pumpkin Custard only one day and decided I need it to go with my…read morepumpkin pie on Thanksgiving... so at a last minute decision I threw a cooler and some ice in my trunk and started out. I did have an upset moment because my gps said I would get to Asato's at 1:58 so mentally I decided "I guess I didn't need it". But... lucky for me, traffic was in my favor and there was no delays, no red lights, and a parking space right out front so I got out of the car at precisely 1:55! Whew, I checked in and ran inside, excited that I made it. Also, super happy they were not sold out. You know I also cannot just get 1 pint. I took home 2 Pumpkin Custard, a Strawberry and candied ginger (which i got for mom so she doesnt get mad that I restocked the freezer). I did a purse grab and go so fast I did not notice the duchess status until going back to the car! So woohoo! I will definitely be sure to post a photo of my homemade pumpkin pie with the homemade deliciousness of pumpkin custard sherbert later this week! Happy Thanksgiving!

I ordered the coconut & chocolate flavor, though I could barely taste the coconut. One thing I did appreciate was that it already came topped with mochi and fresh fruit, which was a nice bonus. I do wish they allowed you to mix and match any two flavors instead of limiting customers to their preset combinations--that would've made the experience even better. Overall, it was a good treat for a warm day, but I was hoping for a bit more flavor.

I tried their brand new item the Tofu Black Sesame Frappe. Wow! It was so delicious! I also did not…read morefeel bad drinking it after running because it had so much protein from the tofu which is what it's made out of. The tofu on the bottom made it similar to a coffee jelly drink with tofu as well as the strong hints of black sesame throughout the drink. I highly recommend trying it if you want to drink something that doesn't make you feel guilty after! Also to note I felt so full after drinking this drink LOL! That Tofu packed on a lot of protein and kept me full felt really energized after as well! Their bubble waffle is forever my favorite with a perfect crunchy outer and fluffy inner. I only go here for bubble waffles. Ambiance is so clean, bright, and cute. It definitely reminds me of a cute cafe you'd find in Korea! Definitely stop by :) it's one of my favorite cafes to visit.

Tamago (Egg salad) sandwich - sorry, I was not impressed, esp since it was quite pricey for what i make at home. Thought it would be little different. Brown sugar boba milk tea - sweet!

I love Pipeline Bakeshops Malasadas! I have been to several Malasada places in Hawaii but | love…read morethere's the best for the following reasons: 1. the size of the malasadas: some restaurants tend to make their Malasadas smaller and when places do this it ruins the overall texture and quality of it. The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around! I'm trying to remember but I think there was a book off that was not too far from here! If you either drive or maybe walk. Service: staff was super helpful and friendly while I was there. I was having an issue with my online order because my phone was being glitchy and they were so nice in helping :) Also wanted to note their branding is so cute!! They even sell merch items too

Everyone knows to go to Leonard's for freshly made malasadas, and the constant crowds there attest…read moreto their quality and variety (review: https://yelp.to/jaduiZfQRq). However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9). Truth be told, it stole the show from the malasadas. FOOD - 4 stars... the malasadas were good, but that ube dessert was next level AMBIANCE - 4 stars...really a takeout operation with a lot of temptations SERVICE - 4 stars...very calm and orderly TOTAL - 4 stars...yet another spot for sweet Hawaiian decadence RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

Savory, sweet, hot, cold... perfect balance on the tastebuds and mouthfeel. You can opt for the taiyaki to be heated too which gives them a good crunch! The regular Bingsu was perfect for 3 people, the LARGE is on a whole different level! Ambiance was loud because of the World Cup and the bar inside, but service was fast and everything looked EXACTLY like the models!
