    Banana oatmilk with chocolate cone
    Noel S.

    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.

    Delicious refreshing and so ono! The shop was super busy and for good reason. Yummy! There was just one person working and he made every dessert with care and speed! We did not have to wait long and it was worth the wait. Everyone should try this place!

    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.

    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.

    LITERALLY SO YUMMYYY! Service is so fast too. I loveeee their different flavors, and the crème brulee is top tier. The interior and merch is cute too. Perfect dessert spot if you're going Ala's or in town!

    Sugar baby with ube soft serve

    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.

    @fortunefoodfinds: "THRILL seeker! A Slay B***h Slay with choice ube soft serve n' a Banana Bread Creme Brulee from Thrills Soft Serve. Seriously been forever, but the soft serve is just as good as I remember!" Staff: friendly Interior: limited seating Exterior: near Ala Moana Center Wait time: no line, dessert made under 5 mins Parking: metered street or back lot that is free depending on day/time Overall comments: it's been years I believe since my last visit. Still a cute n' colorful spot with nice backgrounds to take a photo. Was helped out right away. The ube soft serve still had its creamy n' yummy ube flavor. It was extremely fun for my kids with the sprinkles, pocky, n' Oreos. The creme brulee was nice n' unique with the banana bread soft serve. Am always discouraged to go bc of the parking, but I'm glad I recently learned about the back lot. Look forward to what creations they come up with next!

    DUBAI CRÈME BRÛLÉE
    Caitlin C.

    I've been going here for years, how have I never written a review??? My favorite ice cream place on the island! It's rare that an insta-worthy food place is ALSO delicious. Their Asian inspired flavors are always so fun, unique,and nostalgic, and they don't mess around with the toppings! The crème brûlée that they've been doing for the past year has been life changing. I need the Dubai crème brûlée to be a permanent menu item it's so good It's a little pricey but these days what isn't? They put a lot of thought and love into their flavors and you can really tell, it's more than worth it. Love you Thrills

    The service wasn't the friendliest, but maybe because it was an hour before closing. The matcha had a strong, legit flavor that leaned more intense and slightly bitter instead of sugary sweet, which I actually loved because it tasted like real matcha. The ube was good too, just a bit more mellow compared to other places. The star for me though was the creme brûlée. That little caramelized top with the creamy center was honestly the best part.

    This place sucks. The flavors are terrible. No samples and they rush you to order, menu is unclear and was kinda melted. Never again

On the way back to the car we saw it again and decided to try the Strawberry Bingsu. Our party shared the bowl and loved it so much we decided to also try the Mango Bingsu. It was the perfect amount of fruits and sweetness to cool us down in the muggy afternoon weather. Good service. Clean dining area. Cute decor. Wish we had more time to try other desserts but we will definitely visit again when we're back in town!

    Good: Ordering is easy using a kiosk which provided clear instructions to the user. Quick service,…read moreeven near closing. At 8:30 pm, the place was packed, which is a great sign. Standard generous portion for a bingsu location, notably generous for an Ala Moana location. The location itself was free of insects despite being on a ground floor location with sugary desserts everywhere. Meh: The $14 (including 15% tip) dessert tasted too light and ice-like and appeared more translucent (rather than opaque white) than expected, leading me to think the milk was watered down, which may be how the establishment can make up the cost for the portion size while maintaining a spot in Ala Moana, especially given milk prices in Hawai'i, even if you're buying from Costco or direct from farmers. Also, tables were not cleaned after each party departed; that transparent puddle on your table might not be condensation and may instead be drool drops from the toddler who sat there before you. Overall: Good (not outstanding) experience. Knocked off 2 stars for combination of suspected diluted milk + unclean tables.

The good news is that it moves pretty quickly. The wait really begins after you place your order. This location is incredibly busy from open to close, especially in the mornings. I visited several times during my week in Waikiki, and every morning it was consistently packed. I waited anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes for our food and coffee each visit. Also, be aware that the coffee and food are brought out separately, so don't expect everything to arrive at the same time. The space itself could really use a remodel. Since it's both a café and a retail shop, there's very little room for customers waiting on orders. It gets extremely crowded, making it difficult to find a comfortable place to stand while you wait. Despite the wait and the cramped space, the quality of the food and coffee keeps me coming back. If you have a little patience, it's definitely worth it.
