Easy to find roadside stand with plenty of dirt parking on a weekday morning. It's a grab and go…read morespot w/ limited shade available. The malasadas are made fresh to order, so expect a wait (it took about 20 minutes with a few parties ahead of us). There's a 3-piece minimum for $11 and an extra $1.50/2 for each filling. We wanted to try the ube malasadas but they weren't available. The standouts here are definitely the unfilled malasadas. The Original with Cinnamon Sugar was amazing--hot, fresh, and the dough beats other malasadas on the island. Skip the Ube Cheesecake filling. It had no ube flavor and a bizarrely strong, alcohol-like aftertaste (maybe too much vanilla extract?) that made it hard to finish. The Li Hing with Guava was okay, but the filling leaned a bit artificial.

We stopped by and grabbed two smoothies. I ordered a green smoothie, and it was really delicious:…read morenot too sweet, perfectly balanced, and honestly exactly what I needed. The place itself looked nice, but since we only picked up drinks, it felt more like a quick grab-and-go spot. In Hawaii, smoothies are kind of a must, and this is definitely one of the places you can stop by if you're in the area. We didn't explore many other smoothie spots, so I can't really compare, but this one did the job well. P.S. I noticed they offer one of my favorite drinks, a cortado, with different styles and flavor options, not just the basic version. That made me curious, and if I ever come back to the Big Island, I'd love to try it!

DAY 2 of Vacation - After ziplining, we wanted to walk around the town. We stumbled upon this local…read moreshop and decided to grab some snacks before driving back to Kona. Ambiance/Environment: I love the open space. There were so many products, groceries, and food. There is also limited outdoor seating. Service: I didn't catch her name, but the owner was so nice and welcoming. She gave us good recommendations from the drink menu. Everything we got: 1) Maui Vera - I bought this reef friendly sunscreen. I was told regular sunscreen will not help, so I waited until we came out here to buy sunscreen. This sunscreen helped protect me from crazy sunburns. It is very thick and dries up quickly. It does leave you looking whiter than usual lol. 2) Smoothies - My ILs ordered the Hawaiian Superman, Strawberry Bliss, Chocolate Monkey, and Super Soursop. All these smoothies were recommended by the owner based on their preferences. They absolutely enjoyed their drinks. Perfect refresher after 2 hours of ziplining. 3) Tropical Dreams Ice Cream - My BIL got an 8 oz ube ice cream. We all took a spoonful to try it. Wow .. the ube flavor was unbelievable. Sooo good!

Stopped by the Waikoloa location for a quick snack after a long day at the pool. First impression…read morewalking in was really good -- the place is clean, modern, and has a nice family-friendly vibe. Good music playing, plenty of seating, and overall a relaxing atmosphere. I ordered the Blue Hawaiian/Strawberry Swirl, a root beer float, and mint chocolate chip loaded with candy toppings. Everything tasted really good and the ice cream itself was super flavorful. My only small complaint is the extra charge for each topping. Paying $0.50 per topping can add up pretty quickly. A couple other minor things: the lights kept turning off because of the motion sensors, and the young lady at the counter didn't seem very enthusiastic about helping explain the ordering process after we mentioned it was our first time there. The interaction felt a little rushed. That said, the ice cream was definitely good enough for me to come back again while I'm on the island for the next few days. Overall, still a solid spot to check out. Aloha!
