    Kona Coffee and Chocolate ice cream with shaved macadamia nuts and strawberries topping.
    Siobhan O.

    Great Hawaiian ice cream. Thick, creamy and delicious. Workers were very friendly, brought the ice cream to us, and checked to see how we liked it a couple of times. We added the grated macadamia nut topping for a little extra. Yummy!!

    After a long day of walking around Waikiki, Mosa turned out to be the perfect evening treat. The ice cream was fantastic, but the real star for me was the peanut brittle topping, which added just the right amount of crunch and flavor to every bite. It's tucked away a little behind one of the main streets, so you might miss it if you're not looking for it, but it's still close enough to the action that finding it is easy. Sometimes those slightly hidden spots end up being the most rewarding. Between the delicious ice cream and that incredible peanut brittle, this was a sweet stop that was absolutely worth seeking out.

    Ice Cream crepe w macadamia nut

    Cute ice cream shop tucked away in a random street. I like how they also have a video game area where you can just play Smash Bros on the side. Pretty fun! This was my first time trying, so we got the matcha ice cream, vanilla, and cookies and cream in the crepe style. We also added the macadamia nut topping to it as well. It didn't take too long for our order to prepare since I wasn't too busy. First glance, it generally just looks like an ice cream burrito lol. We were also sharing so it was kinda hard to eat haha. The cookies and cream and vanilla ice cream were pretty good! The matcha ice cream though, it just tastes like the basic matcha ice cream you get at a japanese restaurant, not really quite authentic, but just "matcha flavored". I felt like the crepe itself didn't really elevate the ice cream experience, nor did the macadamia nuts on it. It just felt like an ice cream burrito and not a fancy ice cream crepe. The ice cream was really nice for the weather though.

    Such an adorable spot for a quick sweet treat. I ordered a 'Mosa Cup!' with one scoop of vanilla and peanut sprinkle. Such a simple concept, but it is sooo delicious. I feel like the peanut sprinkle helps elevate the flavor considerably, and hits the spot just right. The presentation is adorable as this comes in a cup that looks like a flower pot, with a shovel as a spoon. The workers were kind, and even checked up on us once we finished in the small seating area that they have up front. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area, you won't be disappointed.

    Kona coffee and coconut topped with Mac nut

    Stopped by MOSA for a late night sweet treat. We skipped the wrap and went with the 2 scoop cup - Kona coffee and Coconut ice creams topped with their special shaved mac nut. Yummy! Would've liked more of the mac nut as it was that good. The ice creams were good, too - creamy! Staff were very friendly. Also, one can enjoy their treat while playing Mario Smash as the game is available for free - located on the side of the shop.

    Moss wrap with Ube ice cream

    Great dessert place near university. Service is fast and comes out quick. Lots of flavors to choose from and different options from scoops to crepes

    Grated peanuts
    Marissa K.

    Loved this spot for a sweet treat. I got the coffee ice cream topped with fresh strawberry slices and peanut shavings. The coffee flavor was rich without being overly sweet, and the texture was super smooth and creamy. The Taiwanese-style twist comes from the peanut shavings on top, which added a nutty, slightly salty crunch that made each bite more interesting. The strawberries brought a fresh, juicy balance that tied everything together really nicely. Simple combo, but so satisfying -- I'd definitely come back for this again.

    I've never had an ice cream crepe until now. So good!! I was shopping around and was looking for a desert spot. Saw the owner setting up (super chill) and thought I swung by when it's open. Definitely a must try. The Honeydew Mochi was my favorite.

    Fabula- MOSA! It tasted exactly how I imagined it to be. I was sifting through Yelp and found this cute little dessert/ice cream place. I was intrigued how it was all in a wrap! Yum. Their important ingredient was the peanuts! Sorry for all you peanut allergic people out there! The shaved peanut brittle was the cherry on the top for this wrap. So they take a crepe wrap and put the peanut shavings, then top it with scoop of ice-cream. We got the cookies and cream! Oh wow did it all blend together so well. They use what looks like pure peanut brittle. They have a macadamia option but it's seasonal. It was sooo good biting into this wrap. I could have honestly had another one. If I wasn't so full, I would have tried the macadamia one. Service was quick and the owner was really nice. Really puts a lot into his business and customers! Would love to come back again!

    Delicious Taiwanese ice cream!

    Yummy Taiwanese ice cream. And Tanghulu fruit sticks . Cake floats , ice cream shakes.

    Two scoop. Peanut brittle
    Michelle I.

    Slap me happy this just blew my mind RIGHT open. You love ice cream? You love peanut brittle? Well slap those two together and you have heaven on earth. The sweet the saltiness, the texture. All five stars. Shaved peanut brittle right into my mouth please? The staff could not hav been sweeter or nicer- just like their brittle!

    Good service, wanted a sweet treat and saw this. It was pretty good, price was higher than expected. Pretty standard but cool flavors which I enjoyed.

The line is always long so be prepared to wait at least 30-45 mins. In addition parking is atrocious here so you will definitely spend some extra minutes looking for parking. I had the following flavors below: *Custard 4/5 - The malasadas themselves are fresh. Each bite it is crunchy, warm and boasting with flavor. The custard was good. *Dobash(chocolate) 3/5 - Average chocolate. I love chocolate but it may have been a little too sweet for me. *Haupia(Coconut) 3/5 - It was okay, i definitely preferred other flavors. *Macadamia Nut 5/5 - I wish i just ordered this flavor cause man was this so good ! It was sweet but also had the macadamia nut and vanilla flavor. *Guava 4/5 - Caught me off guard, I was not expecting it to taste good or that fresh. Respectable mention. These malasadas were fresh, crunchy, and gooey inside. I did like them as a breakfast treat or nice quick snack. I will say that most of the flavors and malasadas are pretty sweet. Another thing to mention is that do not reheat well, so its more of eat them at the moment or they do not taste as good later on. Overall I would come back here again next time I am on Oahu !

    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

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?

Standard generous portion for a bingsu location, notably generous for an Ala Moana location. The location itself was free of insects despite being on a ground floor location with sugary desserts everywhere. Meh: The $14 (including 15% tip) dessert tasted too light and ice-like and appeared more translucent (rather than opaque white) than expected, leading me to think the milk was watered down, which may be how the establishment can make up the cost for the portion size while maintaining a spot in Ala Moana, especially given milk prices in Hawai'i, even if you're buying from Costco or direct from farmers. Also, tables were not cleaned after each party departed; that transparent puddle on your table might not be condensation and may instead be drool drops from the toddler who sat there before you. Overall: Good (not outstanding) experience. Knocked off 2 stars for combination of suspected diluted milk + unclean tables.

They have an interesting selection of Japanese flavored gelato including miso, black sesame, Kinako, azuki and green tea of course. There was a Yuzu ginger gelato which is more of a sorbet too. You can get traditional accompaniments like shiratama (mochi) and azuki (beans) . I only wish they had more non dairy options for us lactose intolerants. My friend got a Matcha latte which she really liked. Another friend got Kinako gelato with mochi topped with chocolate sauce that paired perfectly! I would take Lactaid to eat this! Teas: -Kabusecha kara which had a bitter umami profile . It started out nice and mellow and turned bitter at the end. Love how they give you the percentage of caffeine. -The Kansaku was a nice mild tea that our server Nana explained must be served at a lower temperature to allow the hand rolled leaves to steep properly . So if you like piping hot tea, don't choose this. -They also have traditional whisked matcha if you want an extra boost of caffeine and antioxidants! Potent!

They are open till 10:00 on weekdays and till midnight on weekends Thursday - Saturday . Love that you can find a late night place to drink good quality tea, but they can add alcohol if you want too!

The chocolate emoji bread was so cute, but flavor-wise it was simply bread with dark chocolate inside. It was good, but nothing memorable. The bacon onion bread was probably my favorite, it was savory, flavorful, and satisfying. I also enjoyed the Cinnamoroll blueberry bread. The blue sprinkles made it extra cute, and the blueberry custard filling was yummy. For drinks, we ordered the Cinnamoroll blueberry iced tea lemonade and the blueberry white chocolate cold brew. Unfortunately, neither drink had much blueberry flavor. The iced tea lemonade tasted more like a classic Arnold Palmer, while the cold brew was a bit too sweet for my taste and wasn't my favorite overall. While the bakery items were good, they didn't completely wow me. That said, the Cinnamoroll collaboration was adorable and made for a fun experience.
