    Picnic table outside
    Cassandra S.

    We were craving some ice cream after dinner and Penny's was close by and just about to close. We snuck in before they closed for the night. Very cute little spot with a Banana Pickup Window, bright interior with the classic ice cream counter full of choices, and a couple picnic tables outside to enjoy our treats. The staff were friendly. The ice cream was good in terms of flavors, perhaps a bit lighter than expected. Think more light and frozen yogurt feeling than creamy decadent ice cream. Price was a bit high but fair. Overall, still hit the spot. Good local spot.

    I discovered this place when I decided to give up waiting for a cinnamon roll at its very, very popular neighbor. I wish I had given up on the wait a lot sooner! First of all, after a long wait, there's nothing so nice as...not waiting. The woman behind the counter at Penny's was welcoming and friendly and as almost a protest to the unsuccessful wait for the cinnamon roll, I got a nutritious breakfast sandwich instead. An everything bagel freshly baked, with 2 eggs, Muenster cheese, and thick-cut bacon. Yum! Really delicious! And filling! And from the comfortable table and chairs outside the takeout window called Banana Window, I chilled and looked at the slow-moving line at the famous neighbor. Next time I'm in the area, I'll make Penny's my primary destination.

    We loved Penny's. We went here 3 times! We went twice for ice cream and once for breakfast. Very nice people. It is a small store that is nice and clean. There is a picnic table and a row of chairs you can sit if not crowded. It is along street right next to the famous Papi's Ohana. They have great coffee combinations and breakfast sandwiches with homemade bagels! The had great choices for ice cream also.

    We had a fabulous experience at Penny's. We found it on Yelp and it had great reviews. It's a little hard to find because it's small and in a little shopping center, but it was really, really great. They have some really interesting flavors, and it's run by people who are actually chefs. They have a friend of theirs who is just a fabulous person helping out by serving the ice cream, and she is just nice as can be. She was asking us questions and telling us about her travels. You can taste as many flavors as you want, and it was really fun. The highlights were the brown butter cookie dough, the peanut butter kitchen sink, and the mango sorbet. We will definitely come back.

    We love the banana bread here!The famous cinnamon roll place is next door and always has a mile long line. Happily skip it and enjoy our flat whites and banana bread yum

    Great local Ohana owned ice cream shop, run by two local chefs who worked at high end restaurants and decided to make and sell homemade ice cream, all fresh, with no preservatives or colouring. Locally sourced ingredients where possible too. With that commitment to their product you know you are going to have a delicious ice cream. They also make banana splits with their ice cream, coffees including a banana latte and affogato, home bake the ubiquitous yet delicious Hawaiian banana bread, and they also sell bagel breakfast sandwiches too. Sounds yummy to me! Breakfast, treats, and dessert! There is a car parking area to the side (where the little shanty selling clothing is), and it is walking distance from a lot of hotels and condos in the area. Lots of seating space outside and free samples inside with a friendly smile. Hubbs chose the lemon blueberry ice cream today, and was impressed with the sweetness of the ice cream being cut by the tart fruity flavours. Very creamy, yet refreshing. Unusual flavours such as Mango Sticky Rice blend well with the usual favourites. Add in homemade waffle cones and it is a recipe for success. Definitely a place you want to stop by and visit. Look out for the yellow Banana window ;)

    Banana bread sundae
    Gloria L.

    Oh my gosh, the banana bread sundae is a MUST TRY!!!!! A slice of homemade banana bread, ice cream topped with whip cream, hawaiian sea salt caramel and sliced apple banana - the PERFECT combination of sweet and salty I got the macadamia nut ice cream to pair w it and it was perfect!!

    Best banana bread I've ever had! Plus the ice cream on top made it even better. If I could eat this everyday I would! I would definitely suggest visiting this place for some homemade ice cream and banana bread! Mahalo!

    We come to this area once a year on vacation and just today we noticed Penny's on the map: no brainer to stop in because of how much our family loves ice cream! Fresh ice cream made every day: such incredible quality! We ordered the banana bread ice cream sundae with cookies and cream and peanut butter chocolate swirl and the whole thing was to die for! Clean store, such happy vibes and the best customer service. We want to come back for breakfast soon!

    Late post but had to leave a great review. I was fortunate to service this little company as it was one of many work stops that day for me. They treated me on the house to sample their amazing ice cream! Very ono and they put out some great tasting ice cream! If anyone in the area check them out! You won't regret!

    We came to Penny's for the ice cream. Get here earlier in the evening if you come after dinner. We showed up later and a lot of the flavors were already gone (wish is a good sign)! I got the banana ice cream, the flavor was perfect and not too sweet. It gets busy in the morning also for their breakfast items as well.

    Apple banana chocolate dipped w/waffle cone topping- yum.
    JoAnn D.

    What a local gem! Stopped by twice and got a chocolate dipped apple banana w/waffle cone topping for dessert and a freshly handmade cheese bagel in the morning. It was so good I had to get 1 to go. Great coffee drinks too. Everything is delicious. Must try!

    This was the best food I've had in a long time and was well worth the price! The duck was amazing…read moreand steak was cooked perfectly and so delicious! The appetizers were fresh and so good as well! We've eaten at multiple fancy restaurants while being here on vacation, and none of the food came close to this! We got to enjoy the beautiful sunset and listen to the waves while eating. Our server was so fun and came out multiple times to check on us and fill our drinks. We have already recommended this place to our in laws who are visiting in November and can't wait to return to try some amazing food!

    Mala Ocean Tavern has an absolutely beautiful setting. Sitting on the patio, listening to the waves…read moreand watching the sunset made for a really nice atmosphere. The service was friendly and welcoming as well. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite match the setting for us. Several dishes were overly salty, and the value for the portion sizes was disappointing. For example, five small prawns were $45, and the whole fried fish was $99. The calamari starter was also disappointing. It wasn't fresh calamari, but rather fried calamari strips that seemed like the type that come frozen in a bag. The bruschetta wasn't really bruschetta either. It was more like an open-faced sandwich. At these prices, I expected better quality, preparation, and portion sizes. It's definitely a place where you're paying a premium for the oceanfront view and atmosphere. Beautiful location and friendly service, but the food and overall value fell short for us.
