Such a cute little open air ice cream shop on the North Shore. There is a fun mural in front of the shop that makes it easy to spot and adds to the whole laid back North Shore feel. I loved that they prepare the ice cream when you order, mixing the fruit in fresh rather than just scooping a premade flavor. It tasted incredibly fresh, fruity, and flavorful. The lilikoi was my favorite. It had that perfect tartness balanced with the creamy ice cream, and it was so refreshing. read more

The concept is pretty simple: you choose a base (vanilla, coconut, dairy-free coconut, or frozen yogurt) and then pick a real fruit to be blended in with the ice cream . I love different ice cream flavors so the other flavors weren't that appealing to me. It was pretty late so I just got a basic vanilla cone. The fruit options include mango, pineapple, strawberry, mixed berry, blueberry, raspberry, and sometimes lilikoi (passion fruit)! read more

Great ice cream! The homemade waffle cones are outstanding. Coconut ice cream with fresh pineapple tastes like a frozen Pina Colada!

Love this concept! It was so delicious! You start by choosing a base (I chose vanilla) and then you choose a fruit (I chose raspberry). Then, they blend the base and fruit together to make a delicious soft serve ice cream! It was incredible! I wish they had more seating outside, but other than that this is the perfect place to grab an ice cream! I can't wait to come back! read more

10/10! So delicious and fresh! I love this New Zealand style ice cream! You pick your fruit, topping and ice cream flavor and they put it in the mixing machine and it's made specifically for you. I went with coconut ice cream and mango! So good! I also loved that they had a dairy free option for ice cream! They are all a tree nut FREE facility, so my family could enjoy it as well. Staff were nice! Cant wait to go back! read more

This ice cream shop is tucked away next to the famous angel wing wall. I love how customizable everything is here, and it really didn't help with my indecisiveness , but the workers were so patient and helpful when it came to choosing our flavors. We got the mixed Berry with vanilla ice cream and pineapple with coconut ice cream. I love how fresh and refreshing the ice cream is, and you can really taste the fruit. There is nothing artificial about this place! This little boy actually dropped his ice cream on the floor outside the shop, and the workers were gracious enough to give their family another ice cream. Great experience overall! read more

Sweet As - Name of business - Desserts Near Me - Haleiwa, Hawaii

I'll be the first to say fruit and ice cream was never my go to, I always was big on chocolate or cookies or caramel when it came to ice cream BUT there is something different about this! It tastes great and the texture and flavors are hard to describe or else I really would. Located in cute beach town of Haleiwa as well this is a great stop on the way out or the way back from the north shore! Staff was very friendly and helpful in helping us choose flavor combinations as it was our first time! Definitely recommend if you haven't tried it yet! read more

Sweet As - Entrance! - Desserts Near Me - Haleiwa, Hawaii

This tiny shop right off the Main Street leading into Haleiwa serves up a big time soft serve that is created with this unique blending machine and all with freshly made ingredients! First you pick from six choices of fresh fruits and then an ice cream - Vanilla, Coconut, Dairy Free Coconut, or Frozen Yogurt - and they'll churn it into a yummy soft serve treat. We had fresh mango and mixed berries - other choices are mango, strawberries, pineapple, lillikoi or banana - with coconut ice cream. They've also got a second location on the 2nd floor at the Ala Moana Center. It's a no frills counter area where you place an order to the server and they concoct your soft serve either in a cup or cone on keiki or nui "regular" size. read more

If you find or know where the WIngs are in Haleiwa you are not far off but literally right next to finding this cute and amazing place! The map did veer us in the wrong direction but we found it! Trying this place was a literal heaven. I tried the coconut and pineapple flavors the coconut ice cream had coconut shavings both flavors together tasted like a pina colada! My husband got the pint from the freezer and so so so good. I think whatever flavor you get I truly believe you cannot go wrong. Everything is fresh with great portions I cannot wait to go back for more!! & funny enough we went to try their frozen yogurt, not the ice cream but they had run out. The next visit will be trying to see if there was a reason they were sold out! read more

This was hands down the best ice cream we have ever had! The ingredients were all so fresh and the process is so fun to watch. This is a must if you are on the North Shore, you have to try it! We were on the island for a week and went 3 or 4 times it was that good... read more

The taste of the ice cream is very refreshing and not so sweet. When entering the shop, there were 2 others ordering ahead and 1 family waiting for their ice cream. There was only 1 worker so it was a bit of a wait, what made it longer is that she took everyone's order before making the ice cream. This left the first family waiting a bit and the myself waiting in the hot sun. The worker was friendly but you can tell she seems overwhelmed with the amount of orders and it being only her there. It is summer and there is more tourist than non peak season, so I hope they would at least have 2 workers at all times. Just beware that there is no cleaning in between orders. So, if the previous person ordered a different flavor than you, you get some of their leftover in your ice cream. Which can affect the flavor you wanted (can be good or bad). I ordered the Keiki size and the Nui in a cone. The keiki was big. Too big for the little bowl that was given. Once I got my ice cream and was walking and eating, it melted so quickly that it was over flowing and melting all over me. This was not fun. I would definitely come here again but ask the machine to be cleaned before mixing and for a bigger bowl. The taste it great! read more

Absolutely loved our ice creams! We stopped by on our way back to Waikiki from the North Shore and got several treats. Raspberry with yogurt was our favorite, with blueberry with coconut ice cream as a close second. Everything is fresh, made to order based on your specific order. The small size is pretty big, especially if you get their freshly made waffle cone. Loved it and will be back! read more

New Zealand ice cream. Your choice of vanilla or coconut ice cream, non dairy coconut cream or frozen yogurt and frozen fruit tossed into a cool device that blends it all and extrudes it like soft serve. Natural. Not excessively sweet. Refreshing. Mango and strawberry both made with frozen yogurt in waffle cone ordered. Both have great fruit flavor and natural tartness. Those who like the natural flavor of true Italian gelato, this is for you. Excellent waffle cone. Gently sweet, very thin and crisp. It will spring small leaks as the "cream" melts. AT $9 each, pricy but worth it for a healthier, cool treat. Just wish they would incorporate more locally grown fruits. Papaya? Hayden Mango? Cherimoya? Starfruit? Now that would be impressive. read more

Ice cream is pretty good. Customer service not so much. Visited on 8/9 at around 7pm, the boy and girl who looked like they were barely old enough to work never thanked a single customer. The only time they smiled was when they laughed at a customer who tripped in the doorway. Super unsanitary as well. They take payments and never wash their hands. They will touch your cone, scoop your ice cream and fruits, the girls hair was so long I'm sure it touched the ice cream in the freezer while she was scooping it too. Yes, this happens almost everywhere, but not having any shame with being clean right in front of customers completely turned me off. Won't be returning. read more

This place is pretty neat. But make sure to keep your eyes peeled because you can very easily miss it because its squished between a building that says "Volcom" and a outdoor shop. It was just north I believe the direction was on the bridge. You pick you base and then pick what fruit you want. My daughter got vanilla ice cream with strawberries. I got mixed berries with frozen yogurt. They put it in this twirly machine that mixes it all together. Wish we had one in Cali. Was very good!! read more

I was at first confused as to what the name sweet as could possibly mean or infer. As soon as I walked in that door I quickly realized why the store was named this way. I was graced by the presence of Matthew, the best employee any business could ever ask for. This guy was "Sweet As" can be! Great service, great recommendations, great vibe, great aura, great fit on even, this kid had it all. After I ordered, Matthew managed to stay engaged in a lighthearted conversation, making our group feel welcomed in a new environment. His multitasking skills were impressive as he made our sweet treats and held up a great chat. After our ice creams were made, my life changed as I had never tasted something so wonderful in my entirety of living. I'm fully convinced only Matthew could have made such a delectable treat. I rarely ever leave a review but as I'm astounded by the service I was graced with, I feel it necessary to let the world know. My only critique of this place is that they don't have Matthew's schedule posted on the wall so I can know when I need to come back. Genius, talented, charisma, kids one of a kind. This kid needs a raise! read more

My family has been many times and the last few times we have been a little more disappointed with service and quality. This evening we decided we will no longer return. A younger teen boy significantly shorted me on my large size cone in comparison to my husbands..(I thought he ordered me a small, be he said he paid for a large) the flavors were not mixed and the lack of customer service was poor. We had to go back in and ask for a topping they forgot to add.. disappointing to spend 30$ on 2 cones and leave feeling cheated.. I could have requested more on the spot but the attitude the kid gave me for asking if I could add my number in for their point system left a bad taste in my mouth. We decided we will no longer return and will be telling the community about this not so aloha establishment Nothing Sweet about this place. 12/21/24 at 630 pm read more

This place is AWESOME!! The coconut ice cream with mango!! Yes Yes Yes!! The staff was kind and helpful!

Delicious ice cream treats with fruit! Big portions, hits the spot :) love the family store and staff was kind and helpful!

One of our fondest memories of our road trip through New Zealand is the fresh fruit ice cream along the road. Light and refreshing, Sweet As captures the texture of New Zealand. Sweet As has options for vegans and non-vegans with multiple ice cream bases to choose from. After you order your ice cream, there are only a couple of stools to sit on. Instead, while you eat your ice cream, you might want to walk along the famous Haleiwa Bridge nearby or to the beach. They take credit cards. We parked just around the corner from Sweet As on the shoulder of Lokoea Place. There is also free parking at the beach across the street from Sweet As. read more

Was good. Frozen yogurt with fresh fruits. Either cup or cone. Kinda hidden in the corner. Pricey for ice cream, but glad we stopped

Boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place by chance (with some help from Yelp) while looking for somewhere to have dessert after eating at Surf N Salsa a few months ago. Now, every time we visit Haleiwa, we make a stop here. It's located next to a little shop and across Surf N Sea. We usually park near the beach and walk over, but you may find parking closer if you're lucky. The few times we've been there, there's little to no wait and the cashiers are always friendly and helpful. The first time we went, we got a two scoop cup and we found it was too much for us, so we've stuck to the keiki size the last two times we visited. There are a bunch of fruit choices to choose from, along with a fruit of the month (I want to say it was blackberries when we went this time) and 4 ice cream choices. There are also pints available to purchase as well. We've gotten a combination of different fruits each time we've gone and everything has been good with the coconut ice cream. We tried the vanilla ice cream as the base this most recent time, but agreed to stick with coconut next time we go. The total price for our keiki cup was $7.17 in November 2022. Overall, definitely check this place out when you're in Haleiwa and looking for a sweet treat. It's a nice alternative to shave ice! read more

It was really good but it will cost you as it is quite pricey but not too bad when compared to the ice cream prices in NY! LOL xD. It's much more worth it to get the larger size which feeds 2 to 3 people. I got the coconut for the ice cream and banana for the fruit. Great combo. It tasted very tropical!! I highly recommend you try this place! read more

I lived in New Zealand for a bit and this place is legit! The best I've had in the US (though not as good as the real thing in NZ). The ice cream is fresh and creamy just like in NZ. The waffle cone is a $1 add-on and it's a MUST! I went twice, first time got the raspberry with vanilla, and then the lilikoi with vanilla. I can't decide what I liked better! Both delicious and amazing. The inside of the shop is so cute and I love the aesthetic. If I go back I'll try the take away Hoki poki ice cream. read more
