    Lappert's is at Hilton village located towards the back. No seating is available inside and seating outside is very limited, not a great thing when it's hot outside. Plus, the doors are open so you get a warm draft but won't feel the air conditioning. Ice cream was good, interesting that they charge separately for the cone, so just be ware. Service felt a bit rushed from requesting a sample to getting to the register. Very, very touristy

    Affogato

    If you need an afternoon pick me up, look no further than an affogato here for $8+. My choice was a tropical coconut pineapple ice cream that was delicious and I also enjoyed the seasonal topper!

    Lappert's is located in Waikiki, near the Hilton Village. They offer scoops, sundaes and even freebies! Lappert's gave away free sundaes for teachers for teachers appreciation week and for mothers on mother's day. How sweet is that? The ice cream flavors are so creative. Each ice cream offers a thick, rich and even luxurious bite. The prices are a bit high compared to their competitors, but you're paying for the real stuff. The real good stuff. Service is friendly! The line was out the door when I went, yet the staff kept their smiles. The location is small and doesn't offer much space to sit or stand, but a great grab-and-go hotspot. Would come again to try their coffee flavors!

    I tried the Ooey Gooey Pineapple Cake and the Smores flavor. The ice cream was okay, the quality didn't match the price. It tasted medium quality wise rather than high quality for the price and portion. There's limited seating so I recommend a pick up and go if you plan to try this while in Waikiki.

    Lapperts is famous in Hawaii for their delicious ice cream, and if you're staying in the Hilton Hawaiian village, it's a must try! Lines are typically very long, but we managed to snag a spot at night, and the lines do typically move very quick! Unique Hawaiian flavors and classic ice creams with fun twists. Highly recommend, especially if you have a sweet tooth!

    Double scoop cones and a cup of

    Walking into an ice cream spot in Waikiki, you already know you're about to get financially disrespected. I was fully prepared to pay "ocean view tax" for a single scoop. Somehow, it ended up being the same price, if not cheaper, than the Baskin-Robbins by my house. That alone threw me off. Then the ice cream showed up... and now I'm suspicious for a different reason. Flavor was a straight 10 out of 10. Not "it's hot so I'll take anything cold" good, actually good. Like someone back there cares about your happiness. Portion size? Out of control. These guys are not measuring anything. It felt personal. Like they saw me walk in and said "yeah, give this guy the full send." And listen, I've never once in my life said "that's too much fudge." That's not a sentence I use. But they pushed me to the edge. Sundae came out looking like it was melting under pressure. Fudge dripping down the sides, chocolate overflowing like it had somewhere to be. I couldn't even take a picture because it was already escaping. One wrong move and I'm wearing it. At one point I wasn't even eating it anymore, I was just trying to contain the situation. This is exactly how a sundae should be. Messy, overloaded, slightly stressful, and 100 percent worth it. I'll be back... but next time I'm bringing backup.

    Whenever in Hawaii, Lappert's is a must! Definitely a true staple here! We love all the flavors from Kona Coffee to Cookie Dough, to Macadamia Nut! All of the flavors are delicious. Customer service is great, offering free samples and such!

    Lappert's Kona Lava Java in a Waffle Cone.

    Sweet and indulgent, rich handmade ice cream batches. Super-premium using high quality ingredients from Hawai'i, emphasizing authentic flavors. Proudly founded on the island of Kaua'i over 40 years ago in 1983. Defined by localized flavor profiles, a creamy and dense texture. Lappert's Hawai'i. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ An intense desire for cold, creamy sweetness on a warm afternoon. As a guest of the Hilton Hawaiian Village, pure comfort was found here twice. Lappert's Hawai'i, located in the resort's Rainbow Bazaar, overlooking the Hilton Lagoon from a distance. The Hawaiian heat and humidity began to soften my decadent scoop, dripping down my crispy waffle cone. My pace to enjoy each bite began to change, rushing to win the result of a delightful mess. On both occasions. Lappert's Kaua'i Pie on my first visit, Lappert's Kona Lava Java on the next. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Rich Kona coffee ice cream delivers an aromatic and bold sensory experience of sweet, sugary notes and robust roastiness. I can taste the density, luxurious notes of milk chocolate and toasted caramel. Coconut flakes scattered throughout brings a chewy texture and a deep nutty-sweet aroma, while a sweet-salty contrast is brought forward by oven roasted buttery Hawaiian macadamia nuts. Swirls of dark chocolate fudge finishes with intensity, a ganache-like bittersweet cocoa profile. This is their signature ice cream flavor, Lappert's Kaua'i Pie. I seriously became so excited, I missed the opportunity to photograph my cone. Lappert's Kaua'i Pie is a must for me on any visit. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Locally-grown Kona coffee from the Big Island of Hawai'i, the main ingredient of a supreme cold brew that shines in this signature ice cream flavor. It brings a smooth, bold and robust coffee flavor without the bitterness. I can taste the natural notes of dark chocolate and roasted nuts, softened by the rich creaminess of the dairy. Deep in-color, the dark chocolate sorbet folded-in gives me flavor depth in every bite from pure, unadulterated cocoa. Ever had a high-quality iced latte? Add a touch of sweetness and you'll get the flavor profile of this signature flavor, Lappert's Kona Lava Java. Indulgent, texturally dynamic, creamy sweetness. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Relaxing coastal breezes, the rustling of leaves from above. Breezy palms mixed with the scent of fresh waffle cones and sweet scoops of Lappert's ice cream. Freshly brewed 100% Kona blends and signature island-inspired coffee flavor profiles too. At the Hilton Hawaiian Village Rainbow Bazaar. Support local like I did, support a brand that was created in Hawai'i. Offering over 25 signature ice cream and tropical sorbet flavors. Lappert's Hawai'i. The perfect, carefree sweet island escape in Waikīkī.

    Best ice cream!!! Surprisingly really great prices! Get the keiki cone for $4.99!! It's a delicious, fresh, waffle cone. I had the coconut ice cream with caramel and macadamia nut, Ono! Located within the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

    Came here on my trip to end the night with something sweet. There was a line and I wasn't at all surprised. The service was stellar, there were 3 ladies rotating groups and one at the register. Their chemistry was superb getting people through and still maintaining patience with those who wanted samples. The inside was cute but again, crowded. I got the macadamia nut ice cream with the haupia ube on their classic waffle cone. I couldn't commit to a double scoop so it was nice they offer a half and half single scoop. Both flavors were great, my boyfriend got a single scoop vanilla bean. No complaints there, really hard to mess up vanilla. Overall, had a great experience. Would come back on my next trip to Oahu ^_^

    The infamous Lappert's! I was told by at least 3 people who knew we were going to Hawaii and staying at the Hilton that we needed to check out Lappert's for ice cream! Lappert's is located at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort in Honolulu across the main lobby. My family and I visited Lappert's 3 out of the 4 nights we were there and it definitely lived up to the hype! On the first night, I ordered a scoop of Macadamia Nut ice cream which was so good. I shared the Uncle's Hot Fudge Sundae with my husband on the other 2 nights. My daughter tried the Ooey Gooey Pineapple Cake, Pineapple Sorbet and Banana Fudge and loved all 3 flavors. Not only do they offer some great flavors of ice cream, they also offer in house made waffle cones and bowls, cookies and large pieces of coffee cake and carrot cake. I believe I also saw Affogatos, different espresso drinks, milkshakes and Root Beer Floats on the menu - Chillers and smoothies too! I don't recall seeing seating inside of Lappert's, but being in Hawaii, my family loved grabbing ice cream to go and walking along the beach. The line was always out the door when we visited, but it moved quickly and staff is friendly! Check them out!

    The gal that surprised me with my drink! It was the best coffee I've had during my visit. She was really nice. I hope next time I come around I see her again.

    A small, store front, with plenty of flavors. This place was packed when we arrived at 4:00pm. I got a double scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough and mini peanut butter cup, and fudge. It was tasty. My wife got the Kona coffee and the Kona lava Java double scoop waffle cone. Prices were about the same as other ice cream places, $25. Overall, a well deserved treat for the afternoon of rain.

    Do they have bubble gum ice cream?

    As the flavors come and go daily, you'll have to call the location to find out about current stock.

    Are there vegan options?

    Sorry, none!

    Does the icecream contain raw eggs? I really want to try the chocolate mac nut icecream.

    Aloha, Thank you for your question. No, our ice cream does not contain raw egg. The ice creams do not contain egg at all, with the exception of our Chocolate Chip cookie… 

    Do they have dairy-free options?

    All icecream bought in Hawaii are made in Hanapepe, Kauai, of natural ingredients including dairy products.

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.

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.

They offer a bit of indoor and outdoor seating. They also offer a small selection of souvenirs like mugs and honey jars. Pro tip: you can order the food at their wine bar location right next door. Braised beef loco moco- 4/5 Some parts of the braised beef were melt in your mouth tender while other parts were more on the drier side. The gravy is a bit on the blander side in my opinion. Not bad but not the best loco moco I've had. Papaya boat with almond butter & goji berries- Papaya was sweet and refreshing served cold, but heavily doused in almond butter. Ratio was off in my opinion but it was still enjoyable. It felt wasteful to just toss the rest of the almond butter. Perhaps a side of cracker or two papaya halves should be served for the amount of almond butter. Prices were high. $9 for a cup of coffee and all of the food is over $15 each. Island Vintage serves a wide selection of food, coffee and acai bowls at very Hawaiian prices. I do feel there are better places to eat on the island but if you're already in the area and theres no line, I would say go for it. I wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes for it though.

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.
