    Kids size! Mango froyo
    Sydni K.

    Sweet As is different from your typical ice cream shop, and I'm a big fan! You choose your base (yogurt, ice cream, etc.) and the fruit mix ins. I got the nui size with frozen yogurt as the base and lilikoi as the fruit. I love everything about this dessert. Because it is frozen yogurt, it isn't super sweet, and with the lilikoi fruit mix in, it added the perfect amount of tartness. It's also a very generous portion. Overall, a very solid dessert shop.

    I'm not a big dessert person, but I do appreciate great ice cream especially with fresh ingredients. On a recent visit to the mall, a friend was craving a treat, so with no line we stopped here. The young person making the ice cream did a great job taking orders and making them each fresh, but also seemed overwhelmed with the long line forming. I opted for vanilla with fresh frozen mango. The ingredients are mixed together with a balanced consistency, so I tasted the fruit throughout. Their seating area needed some attention. Prices were high, but worth it for a special treat.

    Great taste but little too pricy. Got blueberry w yogurt. Pineapple w vanilla, which was the best Strawberry coconut. Blueberry w yogurt. About $10 for ice cream. Cool way to make it but idk I will eat again bc of price

    Such a nice guilt-free sweet treat. We got the mango fro yo with li hing powder and the lilikoi fro yo. Both were refreshing and light, love finding good froyo spots!

    Located at Alamoana shopping center. On the second floor. Right at the escalators by Center stage. You can choose from yogurt or vanilla ice... and mix it with your fruits of choice You could also choose it in a cone or a cup. They have waffle, cones, and sugar cones. The waffle cone is light and not thick. Perfect to go with the fruit ice cream that I had I chose pineapple mango with vanilla. My daughter had strawberry with yogurt. Each were so refreshing. Service was quick. It's a pop-up location- pick up and go. There are chairs and tables located next to it.

    It's a cute little dessert shop. Simple and easy to like. They use a machine to grind fresh fruit into small bits and mix it right into the ice cream. It feels more natural this way. Less heavy. More honest. Whenever we're at the mall, we stop by for a scoop. Just a short break in the day. The service is friendly, the ice cream is good, and it always does the job. Sometimes that's all you need.

    I got the vegan coconut ice cream with pineapple so I could have a pina colada. I didn't like that they left extra ice cream in the mixer, though.

    So good I came back the next day! The ice cream method is from New Zealand I believe where the fruit and ice cream is combine through an extruder? Thee best combo is banana with the coconut ice cream base. It's so creamy and the two works so well together! The keiki size is enough for one. The ice cream melts a bit quicker than regular soft serve.

    DELICIOUS and super trendy mixed ice cream! I'm always looking for the smoothest, creamiest, and most unique ice cream shop. This one falls under this category :) 1. Pick a fruit (lilikoi) 2. Add an ice cream (dairy free coconut) 3. Choose a size (nui - large) I chose the lilikoi coconut combination and it was so tasty with coconut shreds! The wait was long because they only had 2 people working, but it was worth it. I'd definitely come back for more!

    Blueberry on a cone

    Dessert ice cream spot located on the 3rd floor of the Ala Moana Shopping Mall. It's outside and when you go down it's the main center near the food court. My dad wanted a blueberry ice cream and it's fresh blueberries blended into frozen yogurt. We got it on a cone and there are tables to sit and enjoy it. It was a Thursday afternoon and it wasn't busy, there was one worker and she was helpful in giving us directions around the mall. My dad just chilled and stayed here while we went shopping. He enjoyed his little sweet treat.

    Keiki size (vanilla base, pineapple, lilikoi, li hung mui)
    Keala S.

    We stopped by Sweet As on a Sunday around 5 pm. It was pretty busy, but the line moved quickly so we didn't wait long. Since it was near the end of the day, a few of the fruits we usually order were sold out, but we still found some tasty options. We ordered the keiki cup with vanilla base, pineapple, lilikoi, and li hing mui. It was so delicious and refreshing! The keiki size is surprisingly generous, perfect for sharing if you're craving something sweet but not too heavy. Service was fast and friendly, and there are some tables and chairs nearby where you can sit and enjoy your treat. Definitely a great spot for a refreshing end of the day pick-me-up!

    Daryl H.

    Oh ma ga! This place is soooo good! Best damn ice cream I ever ate! Choose your flavor of ice cream, choose your fresh fruit then it's integrated!.... Fresh, smooth, not overly sweet... just right! My combo - vanilla ice cream and banana and the portion is huge. And customer service....very personable! Nice touch.

It's a small spot with a grab and go set up with maybe 2-4 tables on the ice cream side. You can enjoyyyyyyy your special tray outside as well as there are a few spots you can station on. We got the black Kona coffee ($5.29) : good coffee and pipiping hot Coconut Pineapple muffin ($3.99) love the texture of the coconut and the flavor of the pineapple. Perfect balance of sweet. Caramel MacNut sticky Bun ($5.99) perfect sweet bite with my black coffee. I appreciate the flavor but the MacNut flavor was subtle since I think it was alittle over powered by the caramel. Still a good soft chewy bun. Wish I tried the ice cream since I've read good reviews on it but will have to make my way back since it was too early for ice cream. Service was fast and everyone was very kind even with the long lines :)

Aside from getting ice cream in a cone, waffle cone (in house made) or cup; you can also get it as a shake or Sunday. They also offer a limited amount of pasties: cookies, muffins, and cake. Personally I like the brownies. They serve coffee, ice or hot. I wonder how an affogato with ube hapia ice cream tastes like? Comment below if you've that combination before. Or any combination, I just want to know if people read this :p If you like the coffee enough, you can get a bag to go. Overall five stars. Because it's ice cream (maybe with coffee) ;p M

Located just outside the Royal Hawaiian Center, the shop almost always has a long line, but it moves surprisingly quickly thanks to the convenient self-order kiosks. Despite the steady stream of customers, the staff handled the crowd with impressive efficiency, and our order arrived sooner than expected. With its vibrant layers of color and fresh toppings, the shave ice created a breathtaking first impression. Better yet, it tasted every bit as incredible as it looked. **Hawaiian Rainbow: 5/5** The Hawaiian Rainbow was the perfect sweet treat on a blazing hot day. Layered with housemade coconut spirulina, strawberry, and mango syrups over incredibly soft shave ice, it offered a bright medley of tropical fruit flavors. The shave ice itself was exceptionally smooth and delicate, with a texture reminiscent of fluffy snow that dissolved almost instantly on the tongue. Hidden beneath it was a layer of rich, soft ice cream that provided the perfect creamy contrast to the refreshing flavors. The finishing touches were a generous drizzle of condensed milk and fresh strawberry chunks, whose subtle tang balanced the sweetness beautifully. Homemade mochi added a soft, pillowy chew, while the lychee popping boba contributed subtle floral notes evocative of rosewater. Every element complemented the next, making each spoonful just as enjoyable as the last. Island Vintage Shave Ice more than lives up to its well-earned reputation. From the stunning presentation to the handcrafted syrups, silky-smooth shave ice, and a texturally diverse assortment of toppings, every component came together to create a phenomenal dessert that's every bit as delicious as it is visually captivating. If you're visiting Waikiki, Island Vintage Shave Ice deserves a spot at the top of your must-try list.

This place is pretty cozy and bright; however, overall the establishment was relatively clean and did not have any sort of lingering rancid smells so that's always a good sign. I only ordered one thing and this is what I usually get when it's available at boba shops: Wintermelon tea, 50% sweet, and definitely no milk thanks to my lactose intolerance. It was decent, but I've had better around the island and I would've expected it to be a little bit cheaper, but for a default-large size drink I spent about $8.50 which is a little bit overpriced in my opinion. Would I come back? Well maybe I think it depends if everything else is closed around the area. I didn't have a particular reason to stay and sit so I would rather just grab the Boba and go Parking can be pretty difficult in front of this establishment by the way. It is metered and on a main street and the adjacent streets don't have many options that are reliable or free making this another reason why I would not choose this Boba shop over others. All in all, I have no complaints necessarily, but I just wouldn't rank this in my top three Boba shops in Hawaii personally
