This place is convenient to get to by car, as there is street parking and public parking (at reasonable prices) nearby. I recently visited my favorite ice cream and gelato shop after a long time. The ice cream here is perfect for gifts. If you're struggling to find a gift for someone, I recommend their seasonal flavors. I've received it as a gift before, and I was so happy. After all, it's delicious, has original flavors, and nothing beats homemade sweets. They also have vegan options, so it's suitable for a wide range of gift recipients. Please see the photos for the flavors and menu options. Some flavors change seasonally. Today, I tasted a new flavor: red bean and strawberry! This flavor reminds me of strawberry mochi (rice cake). The harmony of red bean paste and strawberry spreads in my mouth. Today, I chose a large container of lychee gelato and black sesame honey crunch flavor. The lychee is made with fresh lychees, so it's wonderfully delicious. It would be delicious to make a frozen lychee margarita with this. The sesame honey crunch is also healthy and the honey has a delicious punch! It's creamy, and black sesame is good for your health, so it's recommended for health-conscious people! I will definitely come back again. 人気のアイスクリーム、ジェラード屋さんに久しぶりにきました。　 ここのアイスクリームは、ギフトにも、最適。プレゼントに困る相手がいたら、ここのシーズンフレーバーをおすすめします。 私は、ギフトにもらった経験があり、なによりも、嬉しいかったです。なんといっても、美味しくて、オリジナルのフレーバーな上に、自家製の甘いものに、勝るものなし。 ここは、近くに路駐パーキング、公共のパーキング(リーズナブル)があるので、車でいくのは、便利です。 季節ごとにフレーバーが、変わるものがあります。今日は、わたしには、新しい味をテイスティングしました。あずきといちご！これは、いちご大福餅を連想する味です。あんこといちごのハーモニーが、口に広がります。今日は、ライチジェラートの大きい容器と、黒胡麻のハニークランチ味を選びました。ライチは、フレッシュのライチを使っているので、素晴らしく 美味しい。これで、フローズンライチマルガリータを作ったら、美味しいそう。 胡麻ハニークランチも、健康によく、ハニーにパンチが効いて美味しい！クリィーミィなのに、 黒胡麻は、健康によいから、健康志向の方にも、おすすめ！また、来ます！ read more

I am very easily influenced by the email newsletters I receive about the new offerings and stories behind each flavor. This last visit to Via I got a pint of the Fire Horse Gau, three Rum n Raisin sandwich cookies, and a double scoop. I went a little overboard, I think... The matcha is outstanding. I will definitely return for this. The gau flavor is interesting; I'm glad I got to try it but I don't think I'd get it again next year if it's available. I LOVE rum and raisin ice cream and I love oatmeal cookies. Even though I wasn't wowed by the combo, all three sandwiches were gone in no time at all. Online ordering and delivery is an option if you can't come in person! read more

If you're looking for some delicious creamy treats, look no further! Via Gelato will hit all the marks for everything you want in a dessert. Located in Kaimukī, it's a quaint place to grab a bite of cool gelato. They have a wide variety of rotating flavors that are all handmade. Each one is better than the next. They have gelato cakes, sundaes and sandwiches. The only downside is that they no longer seem to have sugar free versions of their gelatos so now my parents need to go elsewhere for treats. read more

Second time here and not disappointed at all. There's a wide selection of flavors and you can sample. The service is great and very efficient. My choice was a 1 scoop split of Almond Cookie and Houjicha Honey Milk. A scoop is quite a bit and it was so yummy. As for the ambiance we enjoyed our sweet treat indoors. read more

Via Gelato was a fantastic addition to our wedding! The gelato was delicious, with wonderful flavors that our guests loved. Their setup was beautiful, the service was prompt and professional, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. We highly recommend Via Gelato for any special event! -- Mike & Rich read more

It's a nice spot that my friends like visiting and can accommodate our group of 6-8 with friendly service. The gelatos are creamy, but I find the flavors to be muted and not as robust as other spots. As for parking, street or the paid lot. read more

Such a cute spot! They had 4 vegan flavors the day we went. Lychee and haupia were a hit! Free rainbow sprinkles for the kiddos which they really enjoyed! The waffle cone was a bit sweeter which I enjoyed. The matcha was so good! Also got a scoop of the pitaschio but enjoyed the matcha more. Kids asked to go back again already! read more

Convenient location in Kaimuki! I don't visit this place too often but their gelatos are always fire. I love their black sesame and houjicha gelatos. For 2 scoops, I paid about $8 with a cone. I believe it's a little cheaper if you get a cup. The staff is helpful and prompt. You get 3 samples per customer. Free parking isn't always available but the gated parking lot has a 20 minute grace period :) read more

We were there just this morning at opening. The guy was really nice, the place is clean, and so many flavors to choose from. My sons gf asked me Earl Grey? My response was not very nice because I don't care for the tea. It's so good, I think I need to try the tea again. read more

I LOVE that their flavors are their own creations! They have some unique flavors and they change them out from time to time. My favorite flavor is Earl Grey (when they have it)! They also have ice cream sandwiches and cakes. They will sell pints of their ice cream so if you want that, you walk in the store and keep going straight and there's a freezer right there. Atmosphere - Bright feeling and bright lights. It's colorful with their items. Service - The people who work here are so friendly and really helpful. They do samples so you can ask them. You are restricted to how many samples you get so choose your top ones :). Cost - $4 depending on what you get. They do have a mini size and they have cups or cones. The waffles cones always smell so good! Parking - You can do metered street parking (free after a certain time) or park in the lot right next to it and it'll cost you around $2. Location - It's in Kaimuki and next to a Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant. This is definitely a place that I take people to as well because they use local flavors and I like the flavors they try out! read more

Used to come to Via a lot during high school days. It's definitely changed a lot since then, but I still love to support local small businesses.

Good service; they limit tasting to two flavors per person. I want to try their houjicha ice cream, but they don't have it. I had their matcha flavor instead. But the ice cream doesn't have a strong matcha taste. I was little disappointed. read more

In all my years of coming to Via Gelato, this was my first time getting a waffle cone, and I was definitely missing out all these years. Their waffle cone was crispy and the perfect amount of sweet that paired perfectly with my black sesame gelato. read more

The gelato never disappoints!! Best I had on the island. The texture is creamy. Flavors are on point. Haven't tried a favor I didn't like yet. Staff is friendly. Shop is clean. Prices are a little pricy considering the size of the scope but I'll still get it. read more

We came by here after dinner with a big group of 13. The AC inside was pretty bad, it honestly felt like it wasn't even on, so we ended up eating our gelato outside. At least the gelato itself was really good! I got the Oreo cookies and cream and the texture was nice and creamy, which I really enjoyed. As for the service, that's a completely different story. I understand handling a big group can be tough, but what happened here was unnecessary. One of the scoopers mentioned 4-5 times that there was a two-sample maximum, which was fine by me. I got one sample, stepped aside to let my girlfriend try hers, and when I came back for my second (and last) sample, he hit me with "isn't this your 3rd sample?" First of all, who cares if it was--those samples are like 10 cents worth at most . Second, we had a group of 13 people, which is a lot of business for one stop. A small thing like that shouldn't be made into such a big deal. Thanks to that service, they ended up losing 13 future customers. read more

I love coming here. When I lived in the area we went alll the time. It's always fun to see their new seasonal flavors.

I stumbled upon this amazing gelato place in Kaimuki! The flavors are so authentic, like Lycee, Haupia, and Matcha. And the prices are reasonable too. The ambiance is super cozy and inviting, it feels like a cute little coffee shop in Seoul, Korea! And service is customer focus! Also, reminds me of the Bubbies Ice cream shop in Manoa! The place was busy late Saturday night! Glad to see a lot of people out enjoying ice cream. I highly recommend you give this local ice cream shop a try! I definitely will return! read more

Wow I missed Via Gelato and I can't believe I have not been back here in so long. Since my last visit, Via Gelato has only gotten better. When I visited this week the place was buzzing. I love the location and space and service is still great. The flavors are tasty, Rocky Road, Cookies & Cream, Ube, Vanilla Bean, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Haupia, Guava, Green Tea Matcha. My wife and I shared a Grande Sunday and it was delicious. The Grande is perfect for sharin. We had three flavors of ice cream, Rocky Road, Salted Caramel and Cookies and Cream. The warm hot fudge, whip cream and Cherry was the highlight. Support Local and Kamaki and visit Via Gelato. read more

Honestly I thought I would love this place so much more. It's probably partially my fault but it wasn't living up to the "hype". I got the lilikoi sorbetto and it was meh. Just okay. I asked the young girl at the counter some questions and she said if you like tart you'll like the lilikoi one which I already kinda selected from the fridge. Was it tart? Not at all! Maybe my definition of tart is different but I was expecting like an Italian ice kinda citrusy flavor. I don't blame the girl at the counter because it's my fault that I didn't pick something else however the lilikoi lacked in the tartness but also the flavor. I was disappointed especially since a pint is $14. I went in there looking for the Guava sorbet. Tried the special which was the mountain apple and my mom was like you should have got the yuzu. Oh i recently discovered that I'm lactose intolerant so that's why I was so excited to try this place. I'll come back but I'll explore more options next time. Hopefully I'll like it because I love supporting smaller businesses. read more

I tried the Haupia and rocky road combination. The Haupia was light and the flavor tasted of fresh coconut milk. The rocky road was sweet and overwhelmed the haupia flavor. The store front and interior are clean and colorful. Inside the store, there are tables and chairs for patrons to sit and enjoy the gelato. Service was nice and we were allowed to try samples of the gelato. Freezers contained take home pints and other goodies for purchase. Check in on Yelp for a free sticker.

Been a while since I've been here and happy to see they still remain the same...yummy gelato with creative flavors and decent prices. Flavors rotate so they might not always have what you're looking for but more of a reason to try something new. Tables inside but it does get busy during peak hours, people usually tend to overflow outside. read more

Located in Kaimuki, there are street parking and also a large pay parking lot around, so finding a parking is usually not a problem. There are about four tables inside that allow you to sit down and enjoy your Gelato. They do offer a variety of cones like waffle cone, etc. You can also order your gelato on a cup. Besides eating at the restaurant, you can also buy frozen gelato to take home. I ordered 3 single scoop of ice cream on 3 waffle cones, it costs about $23 (nothing cheap now a day ) I really like the haupia favor and my wife like her black sesame flavor. The staffs are friendly, I can see a lot of people come to enjoy their dessert after their meal. read more

Been to Via Gelato time and time again. It is currently one of our go to ice cream shops. We are always on the lookout for vegan ice cream choices. Via usually has a few vegan flavored ice creams. They also have some pints. My daughter's favorite ice cream here is the ube that happens to be vegan as well. My husband loves the pb, but they have not had it much recently. Prices are not bad for the quality that you receive. They have a few indoor tables and a couple outdoor benches. If you are dining in, they put it in a ceramic bowl. They have been upgrading items slowly like redoing their gelato case. Everyone is really nice when you come. read more

They let you try two flavors per person, and we ended up getting the hojicha! Very nice hojicha flavor, some places make it too mellow where you can't really taste the hojicha. They have a variety of Hawaiian and Japanese flavors like lilikoi, haupia, matcha, black sesame, etc. read more

As a longtime customer of Via Gelato, I'm disappointed. I'm not sure what happened, but Via Gelato just isn't as good as it used to be. The past 3 times I've gone, the gelato lacked flavor or was way too airy. My go-to was the Green Tea Oreo and Mango Sorbet, but both were flavorless. The best was their chocolate gelato. Service and ambiance is great though. But unfortunately, I can't get past how bad their gelato is now compared to before. read more
