The icecream here is good, we ordered the mini crepe style wrap with peanut sprinkle flavors (coconut,vanilla,ube). It's worth the try and also comes with 2 strawberries on top for decorations. The chocolate sauce & strawberries cup was good and fresh. We also got the frozen Tanghulu. Only in the yelp app I'm noticing they have a stamp card by the pictures shown. Next time I will ask for one. read more

Mosa is a tiny, unassuming ice cream shack in Waikiki that I found while wandering around in search of something sweet. Its stellar Yelp reviews drew me in--and I'm so glad they did. On my first visit, I tried single scoops of Matcha and Ube with peanut crunch and strawberry toppings in cute plastic cups. The texture is rich and creamy, and the best part? Not overly sweet. The vibe is relaxed and local--young, friendly staff and people casually playing video games. We went back on our last day in Waikiki and got a three-scoop cup (Ube, Chocolate, Vanilla). I loved this no-waste option more and once again, Ube stole the show. If you're in Waikiki, don't miss Mosa. It's low-key, delicious, and full of charm read more

This spot is located at a corner at the side of a small ally and kind of hard to find but once you find it you will be rewarded with some amazing ice cream with peanuts shaved on top! They grade the peanut brittle on top and that is a different twist! They have lots of great flavors of ice cream to choose from to pair it up with the brittle, so make sure to ask for extra! read more

The flavor, the aesthetic, the staff, it's absolutely everything! I sampled the ube, coconut, and pineapple and had the most difficult time deciding because all of it was soooooo delicious! I ended up letting my boyfriend choose, but he really couldn't go wrong. It comes in this cute little cup with a mini shovel for a spoon - talk about a great photo op. Typically I find that aesthetic foods don't taste that great which I cannot understand because why can't something look and taste good? So MOSA, thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me evidence that it can indeed happen. By the way, fun fact? THERE IS A GAME CONSOLE ON THE SIDE THAT YOU CAN PLAY! I love when businesses add a little charm. Note: this is a walk up and order place, but there is outdoor seating read more

Taiwan-style ice cream with peanut brittle--served up now in Waikiki! It's like a crepe-style ice cream or what some call an "ice cream burrito." We weren't really in the mood for a crepe, but it had stopped raining by the time we got here, so we walked the strip and were glad we did. Even though we were full from dinner, we had to try the ube ice cream with peanut brittle (there was also a strawberry topping). Loved that it was served in a little pot with a shovel-shaped spoon--so cute and fun! read more

Wow, what a dessert find this little shack has a creative spin on ice cream. They wrap the ice cream in a crêpe like wrap. It might be a little hard to find because it's located on the back alley of Styx Waikiki, the workers there can explain the menu to you and the different sizes that they offer. They also let you sample the ice cream for free. We ordered the ice cream in a crêpe. The flavors were strawberry coconut and Ube. The strawberry was definitely the best they make this in house and it tasted like fresh strawberries all the way through on each plate. They also add a homemade peanut brittle that was shaved down from a large log. Little bit on the pricey side, but definitely worth a try because it's very different from any other desserts that you will find in Waikiki. read more

We try really hard to support local businesses, especially in such a culturally such place such as Hawaii. The same three guys worked the counter the two times we visited MOSA during our trip. They were exceptionally friendly with us and our three children. They loved literally "shoveling" their ice cream! Our favorite flavors were ube and coffee. We also tried the mosa wrap, which my husband refers to as the "ice cream burrito." Super delicious, as was the shaving of peanut brittle over the top! If we lived closer we would be regulars here!

My homie showed me this place as something he was looking to try for a while in town and while it's a tad out of the way off Kuhio the flavors make it worth the trip. While admittedly limited flavor wise the spot has a nice combo of sweet savory and sorbet flavors. We each went with a double strawberry and ube cup with my boy getting the optional powder topping of peanuts. the only toppings allowed were peanut related so while I couldn't indulge the flavors were popping. Very clean on the bigger size scoop wise with tons of good pop in the strawberry sorbet and the fresh strawberries on top didn't hurt as well. I plan on coming back to try their tanghulu as it looked good but I do gotta dock it for not having non peanut related toppings as it's a major allergy for people. Also for the price it's a good value proposition but for me it'll remain a treat in the area only. read more

I was so happy to hear that we have another late-night dessert spot in town! Mosa is a cute and casual place specializing in Taiwanese ice cream desserts topped with a powder freshly made from peanut candy. I tried their Strawberry Tanghulu, which is one of my all-time favorite treats. It was good, but to my disappointment, I paid almost $8 for just three frozen strawberries. Still, it was as delicious as I expected, but I know now to try one of their specialities instead next time! My friend ordered the Mosa Cup with Kona coffee ice cream, and the flavors were perfectly rich and sweet! The vibes of both the location and staff were fun and friendly, making this a perfect spot for families and college students. I definitely want to give this place another chance to try the Mosa Wrap! read more

Went here after dinner in Waikiki because my sister in law wanted my husband and I to try it. We had the crepe with the kona coffee, chocolate, and cookies and cream. First off, everything comes out so fast! It was really good and they come out to give it to you. I wasnt expecting the taste! It was so good! I was thinking it would just be peanuts but it was like a brittle. My husband and I shared ours and it was perfect. My husbands nephews were playing I believe xbox?? The only thing I don't really know about is the parking because we just parked on the side of the road. But the workers were nice and so efficient! Its crazy cuz we didn't see it the last time we were in the area. But they have a lot of seating. Its a good late night spot! Would go back again!

We're always looking to try new places, and MOSA kept popping up on our social media feeds, which we took as a huge sign that we needed to check it out! Parking in Waikiki can be a hassle and pricey, so since we were staying for the long weekend, we knew it was the perfect time for us to visit. On our first night, we actually walked right by it because it was so busy! The line and the group of customers were spilling out into the street, which was a little intimidating. Luckily, we had it on our agenda for the next night, and it was just as busy. I guess that just shows how popular they are! Surprisingly, the line moved fairly quickly, and the customer service was on point. After ordering, we were like hawks, looking for a table to snag as soon as someone left. You could really see the care and love they put into each order as they made it, placing the strawberries on one by one to add that personal touch. They have such a fun atmosphere at their little storefront, and even though you have to wait for your made-to-order treat, people watching in Waikiki is always entertaining with all the unique characters that come out at night. Now for the best part, the ice cream! We each ordered two scoops wrapped in a crepe and all agreed that the peanut brittle added that perfect extra crunch that made this dessert even better. We heard they opened a storefront at Puck's Alley, so now that it's more accessible to us, we will definitely be going back again and more often! read more

Cute dessert shop; definitely a hole in the wall! The decorations and lights were very aesthetic, and the wall was covered in Polaroids, which I always find welcoming. There are plenty of seats, and they even have an area to play Smash on the Switch if you're waiting for your order. We ordered the frozen Tanghulu (cool concept, by the way). The strawberries were HUGE and very fresh--not too sweet, not too sour, with the perfect amount of crunch, and they kept us cool in the heat. The owner was super friendly and attentive; he even checked in to see if we enjoyed it. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. We didn't get to try their crepe icecream wraps this time (which they seem to be popular for) but we would definitely come back and recommend for icecream/fruity desserts! read more

I decided to check out Mosa upon viewing an Instagram reel about their desserts. To start off, Mosa is a cute and aesthetic dessert shop with only outdoor seating available. When I went, the space was decorated with cute fairy lights, and the ambiance seemed quite lively. I decided to order a mosa wrap, which comes with ice cream wrapped in a crepe paper (?) lined with peanuts. I ordered the coconut & pineapple mosa wrap, and I was slightly disappointed in my order. To be honest, it felt as if I was just eating ice cream as the crepe paper was very thin and lacked flavor. The pineapple ice cream was also quite sour, so I was not a huge fan of it. I did, however, enjoy the coconut ice cream, and I believe it paired quite well with the peanuts. Overall, I had an alright experience at Mosa. I likely will not return, but the service was impeccable! read more

If there is one dessert spot in Waikiki that I am going to miss the most, it is MOSA. Out of all the places I tried during my trip, this one stood out above the rest. They put such a unique twist on ice cream that my mouth waters just thinking about it. Instead of just getting a regular scoop, you can order what I like to call an "ice cream burrito." They scoop your ice cream into a soft, warm crêpe and top it off with crunchy peanut brittle. It is absolutely to die for. On top of the incredible desserts, MOSA has a fun little secret. It is also a gem for game lovers. Tucked to the side of the shop, there is a game console set up for guests to play while enjoying their treats. The customer service is just as amazing as the desserts. The staff were warm, welcoming, and even remembered who I was the second time I went back. That personal touch made the experience feel extra special. read more

This place is so slept on (literally and figuratively)! First off, they are only open in the evenings. If/when you want ice cream after a night out in Waikiki, this is the spot! We came here after dinner at Bario in Stix Asia which is the building that is right in front of MOSA. So if you don't know where to park, honestly, the best I can give is either park in the building of Stix and come here after dinner or park in the H&M building and pay the rate. I wish I could tell you the rate but that's my husband's job LOL According to him it's "not that bad." And we stayed for a few hours, so if you're just getting ice cream, you're covered. This place just screams unique from it's building, decor, and most of all - the ice cream topping! So yes, they serve ice cream but it comes with this shaved peanut topping - huhhh? Peanut and lychee sorbet?! Yes, that is what my husband ordered, but it works! Peanut topping + cookies&cream ice cream, sound weird...but it worked! It's definitely their signature that you gotta try. And they give you the cutest cup and spoon in the shape of a little plant pot and shovel that you get to keep! Best of all? Smash. Yep, super smash bros LOL. Shout out to the staff for playing a couple rounds with us. Don't worry boss, we waited for it to be slow and they asked their manager.

I ordered a three-scoop ice cream with lychee, matcha, and cookies and cream. At first, I was thinking how good can that peanut topping be?? but it turned out to be soo delicious. In my head, I was expecting a strong peanut butter-type taste but it was very subtle and sweet! The ice cream flavors were strong and the guy running the stand was super nice. He gave some great vibes and had a killer music playlist. The only downside was that the plate the ice cream came in got soggy after a while, so we tried to eat the ice cream faster.

Came here after doing some window shopping around Waikiki. The vibes and aesthetic are so cute with their pink little building with glowing lights. It really pops out compared to the regular buildings next to it. The workers were nice and patient with our questions about the different dessert options. We decided on the regular mosa wrap. I didn't have that high of expectations since I thought the ice cream would make the wrapping soggy but I was mistaken! The creamy ice cream covered in the chewy wrapping with the crunch of the peanuts were absolutely delicious! Even my boyfriend was impressed and that's a lot since he's not a dessert person!

I also visited the bakery and tried the guava, macadamia nut, cinnamon, the special of the month (blueberry) and I wanted to try the custard but they accidentally gave me one with no filling . Even though they mixed up the custard one, the other flavors were great. The service was faster at the main bakery. I learned that they also serve coffee so next time I'll head there and try the coffee too. Totally recommend going and trying all the flavors if you can. Heads up that there is no seating so prepare to pick up and go. Also, the parking lot is pretty small so I recommend parking in the Safeway parking lot across the street. It's a mini shopping center so should be okay to park at for a quick stop.

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.

You can't help but notice the line…read more Staying directly across the street from the bakery gave me a front-row seat to its daily ritual. Every morning, without fail, people gathered outside waiting patiently for pastries. No flashy signs. No gimmicks. Just quiet consistency. That alone intrigued me. By the second day, my mind was made up. I'm an early riser, so the plan was simple: go on my usual morning run and arrive before the rush. Japanese culture and craftsmanship have long fascinated me. Through close friends with family roots tracing back to Japan, I've developed a deep appreciation for the culture -- the discipline, the rituals, the precision, and the respect for process. There's a beauty in the intentional pace at which things are done. Nothing rushed. Nothing careless. This bakery embodied that philosophy perfectly. The space itself was small, modest, and aromatic. No overdesigned interiors. No influencer bait. Just the comforting smell of fresh bread and butter hanging in the air. Some bakeries hide behind elaborate architecture and presentation, but this place understood something more important: when the product is exceptional, the product becomes the attraction. The pastries ranged from playful and charming to elegant and refined. The Salt & Butter bread was an instant staple -- savory, warm, and impossibly light. The dough practically dissolved like air. Thankfully, nothing felt overly heavy, because I completely lost control of my ordering strategy. The Kobo Kuma -- a soft bear-shaped bun filled with homemade vanilla bean custard -- was perfection. Equal parts cute and comforting. The Cinnamon Roll was solid, but the Haupia pastry completely stole the show. For those unfamiliar, Haupia is a traditional Hawaiian coconut pudding found throughout Polynesia. The flavor here was subtle yet lingering, delicate without disappearing. The kind of flavor that quietly stays with you long after the last bite. Then came the Blueberry Danish -- beautiful, buttery, and perfectly sweet. I didn't even make it to the savory options this time, which honestly just gives me another reason to return. And I absolutely will -- whether back here in Hawaii or perhaps at one of their mainland locations in Los Angeles. Some places become popular because of hype. Others because of quality. This bakery earned its line.

Coffee anyone?

The mud pie was like coffee ice cream with pieces of chocolate blended in. It was accompanied with watermelon, grapes and mochi. The green tea had a condensed milk drizzle accompanied with grapes, cantaloupe and mochi. Our order came out quite quickly and we were fortunate to get a table. All the tables were taken with a line forming. This is even while it's raining outside. I'm not one really looking for ambiance. It's just filled with people chatting with each other in a full house. I enjoyed it but it's not the same as having a real mud pie. Craving satisfied but not fulfilled.
