    Free Sundae
    Rachael K.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Still as good as the very first time I tried it. Their coffee shakes are just so delicious. The ice cream is a hit with the kids. They are so creamy and flavorful. The line outside can be intimidating but the staff does a great job getting it to move along despite the many times they have to stop serving due to flavor test requests. The location is walkable from other nearby hotels as well not just the Hilton. Grab and go ice cream or drinks then enjoy them while walking around the village or the beach. I cannot visit this area without stopping by at least once.

    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 line was a bit long, however it worth it because the ice cream was very flavorful and delicious. It was a bit hot in the shop though. Overall, memorable experience.

    Create your own ice cream sundae: chocolate chip cookie dough, waffle cone, caramel, sprinkles, whip cream, and a cherry on top!

    Fun Fact: Did you know that you can order an Ice Cream Party from Lapperts?? That's right! I'm talkin'... 30 freshly made waffle cones A commercial-size tub of ice cream (your choice of flavor- I highly recommend chocolate chip cookie dough) A pint of sprinkles Your choice of two toppings: nuts, hot fudge, caramel, strawberry sauce All for $160. Think kids' birthday party, holiday party, work event... I did a full mash up and hosted a holiday karaoke event for both of my sons' 1st and 2nd grade class. Oh my gosh... everyone LOVED it!! Even the parents came back for seconds! The ice cream is delicious all by itself. The toppings and waffle cones are a bonus. Remember Lapperts if you are an event planner. Parking is expensive in Waikiki so call ahead and run in to pick up the goods during the grace period. Enjoy!!

    Soooo good! Their version of rocky road

    Love stopping by LAPPERTS when we are at the Hilton. The ice cream is certainly the best. They also have sorbets. They even have Bakery items. Service is usually friendly. There are two tables in the parlor. One bench outside. Other than that, it would be through throughout the Hilton properties that you can find a place to sit.

    Can't decide
    Joanne S.

    Premium ice cream at its best. We decided to get the Can't decide option because that's an appropriate option when there's so many goid flavors, and its the best deal. 5 half scoops of ice cream in a waffle cone. There was not a line whenever we've stopped by, but there is usually one after dinner hours. Not sure about earlier because I don't pass by earlier in the day. There's a few seats to eat at, but I think its overlooked because you pay on the other side, and most customers are sitting on the bench or wall outside. They also serve do.e. asked goods, being that they open so early in the morning, and sell coffee as well. It's definitely the best ice cream around.

    Pineapple cake ice cream
    Daniel A.

    Creamy ice cream but might be too creamy as I found the milky cream flavor overwhelmed the original flavor of the ice cream. But the bits of Gooey Pineapple Cake that I do get were great. I sampled the passion fruit as well and found it ultra concentrated, similar to juice concentrate which was a bit much.

    Rosy C.

    Lots of flavor options. You're able to taste samples in order to pick the ones you like best. Line is long but moves pretty quickly.

    Are you in the mood for some ice cream? Well I was and Lappert's is a 6 min walk from the hotel I was staying at. At 8:15pm there was a line, but it moved quickly with 5 ladies scooping and serving ice cream. There's a variety of flavors to choose from. I went for the Pineapple Sorbet. One scoop of ice cream is $6.99. Add a waffle cone at $1.99. Next time I want to try the ooey gooey pineapple cake ice cream. YUMMY

    Sweet treats

    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… Read more

    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.

    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.

If you go here - you gotta try their taro bagel - taste freshly made with a slight toasty outside and soft pillowy inside - and don't forget to lather on the smooth creamy ube and haupia tasting cream cheese - soo ono- licious! I love the specialty rice they serve with the meals. The service is efficient and friendly and it's in Waikiki so I enjoy the casual dining experience.

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.
