    If you like soft serve and happened to be in the area, this is a place to visit. It does have specialty items to select. The place is small inside with sofa seating and a few tables; there is also outside seating as well. Four star rating is given since I didnt find any thing outstanding on the items or service.

    10/10!!! Let me just say.... Who thinks of creme brûlée over ice cream!?!? Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! Kept it simple with vanilla ice cream and creme brûlée. Tried the banana oat milk and the one and they were ok, I feel like keeping it simple with the vanilla with creme brûlée was clutch. Service was quick and the staff super sweet. The decor inside is hilarious and perfect. Gonna have to add this to my rotation when I visit!

    Can't stop thinking about how tasty the cookie butter creme brûlée was! Service was super fast and the ladies were very friendly. Definitely hope to go back for more soon.

    Thrills has a parking lot behind their shop, but I didn't realize that it's now a QR code system where you have to pay. I like how they renovated their shop to add new seating. All of their desserts are very creative. I got the hojicha creme brûlée, which is one of my favorite things from here. The creme brûlée topping is so good and has the perfect amount of crunch on the top. The only bummer thing about the creme brûlée is that you can't get their weekly special flavors as the ice cream. This is definitely one of my go-to dessert shops after having dinner in the area.

    Banana oatmilk with chocolate cone

    I only tried one thing so I can only give my opinion on this; the banana oat milk flavor in chocolate cone! Yummy!!! I'm not even vegan or anything but it just sounded good. And wow was it delicious. Their flavors change so I made a good decision. It was light yet creamy and substantial. The crispy chocolate cone much like an Oreo, complemented the banana flavor so well. I wish I could go back for another! My son got the Japanese soda flavor with crème brulee topping and he enjoyed it. Owners were nice and patient when I was so indecisive. No one was waiting in line yet so. Oh and there was a sign that said no samples which is understandable, I don't really sample anyway, I like to gamble ha! It's cute in there with lots of signs. And my favorite color pink. Ample seating, beat the heat this summer with chill and Thrills!

    Good soft serve for when you want a sweet treat. I got the ube with Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I like that you can get a topping for free too. Really friendly staff.

    Nutella Oreo crème brûlée

    Loved the warm greeting when I came in through the door. They answered my questions and let me know how ordering works: they have non dairy flavors on soft serve and pre frozen flavors for the premade crème brûlée. The soft serve can be made into a crème brûlée, no problem. I ordered the Nutella Oreo crème brûlée. They took 2 minutes in the back, and then torched the sugar at the counter. It was super cool! The egg custard was a sweet thin layer over the cold ice cream.

    The crème brûlée cookie dough ice cream is dangerously good. The custardy crème brûlée flavor is rich and creamy without being too sweet, and the cookie dough pieces are generous and perfectly soft. The caramelized sugar notes add a subtle crunch and a deep, toasted flavor that takes it to another level. Every bite has a great balance -- smooth, indulgent ice cream with just the right amount of texture from the cookie dough. It tastes decadent but not heavy, which somehow makes you want to keep eating more. If you're a dessert person, this flavor is a must-try. I'd absolutely order it again.

    Larene U.

    I really enjoyed my experience here :) The worker that helped me was very kind and attentive in answering all my questions. I came for the Big Island Cookie collab ice cream and it was sooo good. The cookies infused with the soft serve reminded me of Kith Treats... I wish they kept it and that it wasn't limited to only a few days. The ube soft serve was very good too! I've tried it in soft serve form and in the Creme Brulee version. Both very good! Will definitely be back - the interior is super cute and they open later than other dessert places which caters to people like me - who come alive at night lol

    We walked over for dessert after eating at Totoya across the street. It was my first time here even though I pass it all the time. There was a constant stream of customers for the 20 minutes that we were in the store. It's a cute ice cream shop with lots of catchy phrases on the walls. We decided on one of the popular combos, Sugar Baby $8.50. It contained sprinkles, teddy grahams, chocolate chips, Oreos, Cocoa Pebbles and Chocolate Pocky's. We had a choice of soft serve and we got the Oreo. We were expecting vanilla ice cream with bits of Oreos in it. However, the ice cream was just brown. It tasted like chocolate ice cream. The Sugar Baby wasn't bad. It was just too much chocolate for me. It would have been better if it was true Oreo ice cream. What caught my eye was the creme brûlée ice cream. Someone ordered that and it looked pretty dope. The ice cream was on the bottom and they blow torched some kind of sugary coating on the top until it hardened. I want to try that the next time I'm here.

    This place has been here and while and I never stopped because I don't really love soft serve. Recently we went to dinner at a place nearby that didn't have any dessert options so we decided to try out Thrills. I had low expectations (again not a huge fan of soft serve) and thought it was mostly a place centered around Instagram foodie shots but I went when they had a special collab with Aiea bowl and offered a lemon crunch cake crème brûlée. I'm not kidding that I think it's one of the best desserts I've had in recent memory. Please please do this collab again, it was so good. My daughter got the ube soft serve sugar baby, she gave it a 10/10 on appearance and taste. Parking can be limited, the parking lot in the back was full when we went and so was street parking. So we had to wait for someone to leave, it only took a couple of minutes. Overall, nice setting, good place to fulfill your sweet tooth, and super cute aesthetic.

    Crème Brulee Cosmic Brownie
    Zuri M.

    This was my first time trying out Thrills, and I really enjoyed it. The location is easy to find and convenient. There is an ally next to the shop with some parking. Ala Moana mall is also close enough to park at and walk over. The inside is clean with a good amount of seating. Staff members were very friendly and helpful with making my decision of what to get. I got the crème brûlée cosmic brownie ice cream. It was really good!

    The Creme Brulee and Cookie Butter Sundae
    Damian M.

    Thrills is my go-to restaurant for soft serve in town. Their vibe is playful, branding is fun, service is fast, and provide plentiful seating in and outside the restaurant. They have plenty of choices that include soft serve, sundaes, and lactos-free options. My go-to is the Cookie Butter Sundae with the banana oat-milk soft serve. A great choice if you are looking for ice cream or a nice cold treat in town.

    Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice - Mango,coconut, and passion fruit with mochi

    Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice

    4.4(92 reviews)

    Ululani's Is Not Just Shave Ice. It's a Hawaii Experience…read more No trip to Hawaii feels complete without shave ice, and after visiting **Ululani's**, I completely understand why so many people consider it the gold standard. I've had shaved ice all over the place, from county fairs to beach destinations, but nothing compares to what Ululani's is doing. The difference is noticeable from the very first bite. The ice itself is unbelievably soft and silky. It's not crunchy, chunky, or packed with hard ice crystals like so many other places. Instead, it melts almost instantly in your mouth, creating a smooth texture that feels more like a frozen cloud than traditional shave ice. The flavors were incredible. What really stood out was how fresh and authentic everything tasted. The syrups didn't have that overly artificial, sugar-heavy flavor that many shave ice shops rely on. Every bite tasted vibrant, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. You can tell they care about quality ingredients and getting the flavors right. What surprised me most was how refreshing the entire experience felt in the Hawaiian heat. After spending the day exploring Waikiki, walking the beach, soaking up the sun, and putting in miles on foot, Ululani's was exactly what I needed. It wasn't just dessert. It was instant relief. Sitting there with an ice-cold shave ice while surrounded by the laid-back energy of Hawaii created one of those simple vacation moments that you remember long after the trip is over. The staff were fantastic as well. Even with a steady flow of customers, everyone remained friendly, efficient, and welcoming. The line moved quickly, the ordering process was easy, and the employees maintained the kind of positive aloha spirit that visitors hope to find while they're on the islands. The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and unmistakably Hawaiian. Families, locals, tourists, and beachgoers were all enjoying themselves, and it felt like one of those places that genuinely brings people together. Another thing I appreciated was the consistency. Every part of the shave ice was evenly flavored from top to bottom. There were no dry spots hidden in the middle. Every spoonful delivered the same delicious taste as the first. It's easy to understand how Ululani's has built such a loyal reputation. They have perfected something that seems simple on the surface but is actually difficult to do well. The quality of the ice, the flavors, the service, and the overall experience all come together perfectly. Honestly, this wasn't just the best shave ice I've had in Hawaii. It may have been the best shave ice I've ever had. If you're visiting Oahu and wondering whether Ululani's is worth the stop, the answer is absolutely yes. Whether you've spent the day at the beach, are cooling off after sightseeing, or simply want a taste of one of Hawaii's most iconic treats, this place delivers. Some vacation memories come from major attractions. Others come from simple moments, like enjoying an incredible shave ice on a beautiful Hawaiian day. Ululani's gave me one of those moments. **Refreshing, delicious, authentic, and absolutely unforgettable. Five stars all day long.**

    Ulalani's Hawaiian Shave Ice Mission Statement: At Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice, our goal is to…read moremake every visit unforgettable, creating memories that last a lifetime. We take a simple treat--ice and syrup--and elevate it into something extraordinary. Using our signature specialty syrups, ultra-pure finely shaved ice, gourmet toppings, and innovative techniques, we craft a magical dessert experience unlike any other. Ulalani's Hawaiian Shave Ice Motto: Alohatude is a way of life! We combine The Spirit of Aloha with Gratitude with our passion for perfection to create something truly extraordinary. Most importantly, the ALOHA Spirit is at the heart of everything we do--from how we treat our customers to how we support our team. With just one bite of Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice, we're confident you'll agree: All Shave ice IS NOT Created Equal. Background On Visit: Wanted to compare Ulalani's shaved ice to Matsumoto's. I was so happy that it was located next to the hotel we were staying at. Visitation Rights: Been to this location, but there's possible visits to the Los Feliz location in Los Angeles, CA.. Restroom: No restrooms, but you can a restroom at the International Market Place. Credit Card: They're accepted. Price: Higher than Matsumoto's. Start price is $7.59 for a Keiki (small size. They pride themselves Location/Parking: Next to Starbucks or Hyatt Centric hotel. Parking can be found in the International Market Place parking structure. 1 hr free with validation. Ambiance/Decor: Small shop with some furnishings to enjoy your dessert. Service: Service was good. Staffer were attentive, informative, and loved how he made it with tender, love, and care. Didn't take long to be made. Shaved Ice Of Choice: 1) Sunset Beach: Consisted of passion orange, mango, guava. Basically a P.O.G with mango. Thought it was very good and liked how it was less sweet and not icy. 2) P.O.G: Consisted only of passion orange and guava. These flavors magical flavors get me all the time. So good and refreshing. Ulalani's Hawaiian Shaved Ice For Thought: Actually prefer Ulalani's over Matsumoto's shaved ice. Looking forward to trying their location in Los Feliz in the mainland.

The staff were also very friendly and explained different aspects of the various beverage since this was our first time visiting. I had the frozen banana kona mocha which was really pleasant and extremely refreshing on a warm tropical day after strolling around this largely open air mall. The drink was extremely smooth and refreshing, although I will say it was a bit light on the banana flavor but still very good overall! This is a good option to grab a beverage during your Ala Moana shopping trip!
