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
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!
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!
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!
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.

Lappert's Hawaii Coffee is a perfect little gem for coffee lovers and anyone with a sweet tooth. I stopped in one morning for a cold brew, and it was fantastic--smooth, bold, and just the right amount of strength to get the day going without any bitterness. You can really tell they take their coffee seriously. Later in the day, I went back and treated myself to a cold brew ice cream float, and wow--what a combo. The rich, creamy ice cream blended perfectly with the cold brew, making it the ideal pick-me-up sweet treat. It was refreshing, indulgent, and exactly what I didn't know I needed in the middle of a warm Hawaiian afternoon. Whether you're grabbing your morning caffeine fix or looking for a cool treat with a coffee kick, Lappert's delivers. Friendly service, high-quality coffee, and seriously delicious flavors make it worth a stop (or two) while you're out exploring. read more

Not too busy. We always stop here when visiting Hilton Hawaiian Village! Their ice cream is sooo good! It's a casual vibe, employees are friendly and if you haven't tried a flavor and not too busy, ask to try the flavor. I'm so glad I did! read more

While booking our trip to Hawaii, we received a bunch of recommendations from friends. One of those recommendations was Lappert's. Luckily for us, it was within our hotel so it was a jump and a skip away. Lappert's is a cute little shop offering coffee, ice cream, and baked goods. They had me at coffee! During our visit, the service was great! The workers were very nice and worked quickly to get everyone their orders. I went with an iced vanilla latte and a pretty rainbow cookie. Everything was just ok. The coffee wasn't amazingly good, but just good. The cookie was a little stale and not that great. But honestly, it didn't even matter because I was in Hawaii and we made it! If I come bac to Hawaii, I would most definitely come back and try their ice cream. read more
Yummiest Ice Cream! We were staying at the Hilton across the street, so the location couldn't be more convenient for us. Ambiance is cute and inviting Service was just okay, but the ice cream flavors were phenomenal. The Kona Lava Java is now my favorite flavor. It's their Kona coffee flavor with dark chocolate sorbet swirls. I love that they have an option for sometimes indecisive people like me. It's a waffle bowl with half scoops of 5 different flavors for $11. I would come here every day if my calorie budget could afford it! read more

When in Hawaii, you have to try the Lappert's ice cream. We always stop by once during our trip and try their Kona coffee ice cream. How can you resist Kona Coffee flavor while in Hawaii? It is by far the best coffee ice cream for me and this time wasn't any different than other times. Enjoyed a large scoop of coffee ice cream with the rest of the family. Feeling content that I have gotten to have my ice cream before heading back to California!! read more

During my recent trip to Oahu, I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, which is where this Lappert's is located. For that reason, I went here almost everyday of my stay. Depending on the time of day, it can obviously get very busy, but every time I went before 11am it was not too bad. The first time I went, my sister and I tried the Kauai Pie mocha (with soy milk) -- she got the iced version and I got the hu'i hu'I chiller. Both drinks were so delicious! My sister loved that drink so much that she had it almost everyday. I also tried the lilikoi green tea smoothie and nene tracks ice cream in a waffle cone. Nothing disappointed and the workers were friendly. Overall, I could say with confidence that this is a great spot for coffee and ice cream. read more

Got a double scoop in a waffle cone - got the Ube Macapuno and the Big Island special (I think this one came with vanilla ice cream and brownie bits). Service was excellent, ice cream was creamy and had a strong taste, and waffle cone was delicious. I also loved the walk to this location, it's a very cute store! read more

It shrunk! I was amazed at the size in Oct 2021. Oct 2023, it was half the size. 1st cup - Auntie Mabel's lilikoi dream: passion fruit ice cream + passion fruit sorbet swirl + coconut shortbread cookie 2nd cup - pineapple cake ice cream There was a lot going on with Auntie Mabel's lilikoi dream. If I was undecided, this would have been perfect. While eating, I decided I should order sorbet or ice cream. It was different textures but still good. Lappert's has a particular taste and texture. It's great ice cream to have in Hawaii and they have a lot of Hawaiian flavors that you can't get anywhere else. Note - it is not fancy gourmet ice cream if that is your thing. It's more 31 flavors with the higher prices. There are three tables in the back of the shop with seating. Service was pretty quick. People just need to know what they want to order when it's their turn. read more

Oh my. This ice cream place is so good. They have so many different flavors of ice cream and non dairy selections too. They have fun waffle cones to get or just get a cup. They have coffee there too. They have a lot more items than I actually saw because I was just focused on getting ice cream. I got an ice cream that was chocolate based and had coconut, macadamia nuts, and a fudge swirl inside, and it was really good. The line to enter the store started outside and went inside and looked pretty long, but it went really fast. The service is quick and you can even try different samples of any flavor ice cream you want to which was nice. They had a couple tables toward the back on the inside, but mostly you would just take your ice cream outside and find some tables around there. This place is also around all the shops which is fun. read more

Best ice cream in Hawaii. Lots of good flavors, my favorite is macadamia nut. Flavorful, rich in macadamia nuts in every bite. Service friendly. They are generous with their servings and price is reasonable. A tiny rectangular place, located inside Hilton Hawaiian Village. It's basically a grab and go style. They are so busy that the line gets so long. Just be patient. Overall experience; worth the wait, good quality of ice cream. A must try when you are in town. read more
It is located on the property of Hilton Hawaiian Village. They serve ice cream. It was perfect for a hot day. Decided to upgrade with a waffle bowl and double scoops. The employee ate nice and they provide samples to try. If you're at Waikiki close to Hilton give it a try. read more

During my trip to Honolulu, I stopped by Lappert's for ice cream after getting a late lunch at Hilton Hawaiian Village, and it was by far my favorite thing I ate at a Waikiki resort. There was a pretty long line when I arrived. I would say I probably waited about 20-25 minutes, but that gave me plenty of time to look over the menu and decide on my order. I ended up getting one scoop of macadamia nut and one scoop of ooey gooey pineapple. Both flavors were quite scrumptious with lots of textural contrast. I'm taking off one star only due to the small space and lack of seating. read more
During our stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Lappert's Ice Cream became a daily ritual for me--literally! We stayed at the Village for a week, and I couldn't resist stopping by for ice cream twice a day. It was just a short walk away, so any chance I got, I was there indulging in their delicious flavors. I tried as many flavors as I could, and every single one was amazing. The coffee here is also great, making it a perfect stop whether you're craving a sweet treat or a caffeine fix. Even though the line can get long, it moves quickly, so you're never waiting too long to satisfy your ice cream cravings. Lappert's is an absolute must whenever we visit Honolulu, and staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village makes it all the more convenient. Can't wait to come back! read more

This place was across the street from our hotel, the Hilton Hawaiian Village and everytime we were dropped off, we saw this place on the corner so we had to go. We came in the morning and I tried the creamy coconut and the Chocolate chip cookie dough. The coconut was excellent. The Cookie dough had ice cube sized hunks of cookie dough, so if you love dough then this is a winner. I do, but dang, can I have some ice cream in my ice cream please? The line isn't very efficient because if you want an ice cream or an espresso drink, you go in the same line, which means you do a lot of waiting and you could be finished with your ice cream while you're waiting in line by the time you want to pay. It's a small shop so I see why they do it that way, but I wonder how many customers they didn't keep because the line was so long because someone wanted to order a cone but had to wait for five espresso drinks to be made before the staff got to them. Also, the servers need to be more attentive. We were there in the morning so the line was short, but the lady who was in charge of the ice cream side was busy stacking and did not attend to customers. When a guy cleared his throat, she asked him what he wanted to order, not noticing that we'd been standing there wanting to pick some ice cream. And that guy wasn't even ordering- he really was just clearing his throat. Uggh! read more

There are a lot of ice cream/gelato places, but this one was really my favorite. There are many great flavors and the portions that they give are very generous. I mean, who wouldn't like more ice cream?! And especially for Waikiki prices, this establishment definitely prices it well for the amount that you are getting. Definitely stop by! The waffle cones are delicious and makes the whole place smell great too! read more

our experience at the ice cream shop started by waiting in a long line, and being greeted by kind staff that gave lots of free samples! The store itself was very well decorated for the Holiday season! Here is the rating of our individual ratings: Mine (Passion fruit) -the ice cream was light, and fruity as expected. Unfortunately, there was missing something as it tasted like icy sugar fruit, which was refreshing, however was somewhat gross to taste repeatedly. (2/5) Sister (Coconut pineapple) - mine was delicious! i got this flavour because i didn't know what to get and i was not disappointed. this flavour was fruity and fresh. would definitely get it again! (4/5) Mother (Salted caramel peanut butter) -Did not taste like icecream and more like shaved ice. it lost its flavour because of the texture (1/5) Father (Fudge) -very chocolate with subtle taste of peanut butter and caramel. too much and was over simulating (4/5) read more

Despite our tight schedule, we decided to make a pit stop at Lappert's before heading to the airport. The line was long but we checked out the selection and chatted with the sisters behind us as we waited. My friend asked if we could split a single scoop into two flavors and was told yes! So I had the Coconut and Coconut Pineapple, only available in Oahu! Both were creamy and rich. But the pineapple chunks were refreshing. I got to have a taste of her scoop of Lava Java, Kona coffee ice cream with chocolate sorbet veins, yummy, bold flavors. The waffle cone was more delicate and fresh than others I've had, definitely worth the extra cost. I'll definitely make a point to stop into other locations on the mainland, when nearby! And yes, we thankfully made our flight home. read more
Line is always long. Place opens up at 7am but the line outside starts at about 6:45 AM already... It takes you at least 10 minutes to get to the front to place your order in the morning from the start of the ice cream area once you're inside. Same for night... Line is very long, place is very popular for desserts... Especially ice cream so be prepared to stand in line for about 40 minutes. Posting pics of the pastries they offer in the morning. read more

A sweet, creamy treat for another blazing hot summer in Hawai'i. But be prepared to wait in line, it went out the door when I was there. Being the very indecisive people we are after seeing all the great flavor options, we got the "Can't Decide", which comes with 5 flavors of your choice in a crunchy waffle bowl: Mango sorbet (my favorite!!) Lilikoi sorbet Macadamia Nut Kona Coffee Matcha read more
Food (5/5): Got the two flavors in a cone of Ube and caramel macadamia. Both flavors are pretty good but my friend got the "can't decide" which is five flavors of half scoop. This can't decide is a much better deal. You get way more ice cream, the waffle cone is included and it was almost the same price as the two flavors Ina cone. Trying some of his flavors my favorites were the Kona Coffee and pineapple. The pineapple was especially amazing. Service (4/5): It's a busy shop with long lines but they do a good job of keeping things efficient and fast. Because of this, most people didn't stop to ask to try flavors. I got to try one because I asked and they did it quickly. After ordering they recommended that next time we should get the "can't decide" because it's a great deal where you can try a lot of flavors. That tip would've been great at the start. Ambiance (4/5): Relatively small ice cream shop with a small seating are near the entrance. Overall gets the job done and you can walk towards the beach to find some seating to eat the ice cream. read more

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.
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.
