I got the mauka trail which is full of big chunks of macadamia nuts. More than I was expecting but it was still decent. This place hit the spot.

Not a single chunk of ice, my spoon scooped through like butter. They have a really nice ocean themed atmosphere on the inside, and the service was nice. Would definitely try if you're looking for dessert in the kings shops.

Located next to Lagoon Grill, Shaka Cones offers locally made Dave's Ice Cream. Definitely…read moreoverpriced, being at a hotel, and the customer service was underwhelming but meh, I guess it's always a great option to have an ice cream shop at a Hawaii hotel to cool off on a hot day. There weren't a lot of options with flavors and there weren't many "deluxe" items either like sundaes and such. Would be nice to offer maybe halo-halo a regular menu item on Oahu's Dave's Ice Cream locations and some other specialty menu items since, after all, they're located at a Hilton. Customer service could use some improving. We went late one evening, about 15 minutes before closing and it was apparent that the employee just couldn't wait for her work night to be over. No greeting, no smile, didn't even ask what we wanted. I just told her my order and she gave me the total. That was that. Overall, if you want ice cream made in Hawaii and need a cool treat, but are OK with subpar service, Shaka Cones is it!

We splurged on ice cream on our last day. After being on the island for almost a week, you tend to…read moreforget the prices. So when I say 'splurge', that's why I mean. Our total came out to $17. Which is the norm around here. They gave out free samples and my final choice was a single scoop of coconut macadamia nut in a cup topped off with a waffle cone. The bf got double with basic flavors of strawberry and vanilla in a cup. The portions are huge! We should have shared a single scoop or a double. All the flavors were great. Only the price but it's Hawaii and at a resort. After you get your ice cream, you can take a stroll and watch the dolphins.

My standard for excellent malasadas is Leonard's in Oahu, and I've been trying out malasadas all…read moreover Hawai'i Island and have been disappointed each time. Most just taste like a regular donut you can get anywhere, but not at Pono Pastries! What a gem! First off, the service was friendly and superb, and you can tell they care about their products and your experience. After ordering, I asked the server what her favorite malasada combo is, and she surprised us with her favorite on the house: a guava malasada with guava filling. She was so right on! Delicious! The ube malasada with ube cream tastes just like ube (it's quite annoying when an ube food doesn't taste like it!). The regular malasada with haupia cream was safe but delightful. The dough consistency is just right. Nothing like Leonard's, but in a league of their own, especially how the malasadas are still great to eat the next day. Malasadas from other places tend to be greasy, so eating them later tends to be unsavory. Pono malasadas aren't greasy and tastes just like they did when we ate them for breakfast the next day. I also appreciate how the server packaged everything with care. Overall, the experience and food made me forget I was at a depressing mall food court. I plan to return to this depressing place to experience the joy of Pono Pastries malasadas. Finally, my search for great malasadas on Big Island is over. What a treat!

Located at the food court at Queens Marketplace…read more Don't let the display fool you. The filled malasadas are in the kitchen. There's a few in the display case like Ube, plain, churro, etc. We had ours the following day. Happy to say still very good and plenty of filling. I got lilikoi and daughter got strawberry. Hubby got a cinnamon bun. Park in the back of the Marketplace and enter into the food court.

First of all, although Yelp has separate listings, this is the same business as Hamakua Fudge Shop…read more I stopped in based on the generally enthusiastic reviews about the fudge, both here and on other sites. Though it hadn't been my original plan, I ended up getting lunch here, since most other nearby restaurants were closed. This involved a bit of a wait, as when I first arrived the high school kid at the counter said he couldn't make sandwiches, but the owner would likely be in soon -- though he also said she was inconsistent and he couldn't say for sure when. Happily, she was there when I stopped back half an hour later, having confirmed that the only other available lunch options were a food truck whose fare didn't much fit my mood or takeout from the local market. I ordered a turkey sandwich on whole wheat and iced coffee. The coffee was good. The sandwich was barely okay. It was billed as coming with cranberry mayonnaise, and while the mayo had a bit of sweetness, cranberry flavor was not readily apparent. The turkey was weirdly dry and crumbly and the bread was beginning to get stale. All it all it was edible, but that's about it. It came with a small banana, which was a nicer and healthier touch than the chips or pickles you so often get with sandwiches. As I sat there eating, I noticed a sign on the bulletin board, apparently left over from the days when Hawaii had a COVID-19 mask mandate for indoor establishments. The sign used fake language from HIPAA (misspelled as HIPPA -- a dead giveaway) to say, essentially, that they'd just pretend anyone not wearing a mask had a medical reason to not wear one and ignore the public health rule. Why they felt compelled to announce they don't give a bleep about public health a year after any such mandates ended I can't say, but I'm suffering debilitating "Long COVID" symptoms because of the recklessness of idiots like this. So I didn't buy any fudge, tempting as it looked, and instead satisfied my sweet tooth at another business.
