It's been a minute since I was able to throw Black Sheep Cream Co. a review…read more We frequent Ko'olina quite a bit, whether to bring my daughters to the beach or to stop by Monkeypod for dinner. This time around, we found ourselves bringing a family member to dinner and were craving ice cream after dinner. Fortunately, Black Sheep Cream Co. was there. Right off the bat, I want to express my gratitude to the owner for keeping the prices the same since my last review in 2022. The flavors, taste, and venue is comfortable to enjoy your dessert right in front of the business. There is plenty of chairs and umbrella shade. This is locally-owned and worth the try, especially if you're visiting. There recommended flavor is their Black Sesame flavor. I also really appreciate their Matcha flavor.

They serve a variety of Puerto Rican food with a hawaiian twist. I decided to have the steak, shrimp and laulau. It also comes with gandule rice and macaroni salad. The flavors are fire. Steak is a nice medium rare which is to my personal preference and the shrimp is delicious with a creamy unique sauce. The ratio of pork, fat and greens in the luau is so well balanced. As for the gandule rice, it is by far the best I have ever eaten. Every morsel is perfectly flavored. This is a special treat when you want to have a cheat day. This is truly one of the best places to eat on the island. Chef's kiss to Guudfellaz.

I recommend getting your items and finding a spot outside to enjoy them!

The must-order is the Ube Cap just like they show on their website. It takes everything to another level--creamy, rich, and slightly nutty on top of the light, refreshing ice. It's the perfect combo and totally worth it. You can tell they really care about quality here. Every bite is insanely good.

What I liked about the berry boost bowl is that goji berries brought a crunch and really made up for the granola that wasn't in there.

Abundant variety available! Located in Ka Makana Ali'i on the Gen Korean / Papa John Pizza side…read more Small interior that has about four to five tables that can accommodate about four people each. No outdoor seating available. We went in knowing we wanted açaí bowls. They offer signature bowls for those who don't like having to decide on bases, toppings, drizzles, etc. Signature bowls come in two sizes: regular (16oz.) $13.99 and large (24 oz.) $15.99. Whatever bowls give you the freedom to decide on base - bonus base - fresh fruit - super foods - drizzle. These are priced the same but you decide what you do and do not want, which is nice. Mind you, they also offer: toasts, smoothies and drinks such as lemonade, iced blended coffee, matcha, and cold brews. Açaí bowl was a generous portion of base / bonus base / fruit. I appreciate how they chop their fruit into bite size pieces. Idk what it is but I like my fruit in my bowl to be bite size like small easy to eat and chew. Maybe it has to do with base/topping/fruit ratios!? Fruit was fresh too, which for this price point- I'd expect and they delivered. There are many options available which again, for this price point you'd expect, so it's nice to have. The only problem was they were out of Nutella. Like, why? My daughter went a week before writing this review and she said they were out of bananas. In my opinion, banana and Nutella are not items hard to keep in stock! We would visit again. Side note, Monday - Friday 6-7pm they offer $2 off signature bowls!
