Delicious ice cream. Do not be turned off by the line. It does move quickly and almost too fast to allow time to select from the scrumptious choices. I like getting the cups instead of the cone; cups make it easier for me to savor the serving without worrying about drips. Just my style. Enjoy!
I haven't had a chance to taste this ice cream ! Lappert's Ice Cream on the mainland United States and those of Lappert's Hawaii have distinct products that they use! In Hawaii they make their goods in Hanapepe Kauai while in the Mainland are made in Richmond , California. Flavors offered in Hawaii are not the same in California and vice versa ! Hawaii is a special place and I am so elated to experience it here!!! Imagine having to go to Hawaii to have my first one??? This location is just a hop and a skip away from our hotel. The shop has limited indoor seating but a long low concrete retaining wall to seat on while licking the ice cream and chat in groups. Always a long line when passing by this ice cream shop. But this time 1/2 hour before closing time we were lucky to be 2nd in line .... Yeshhh! Friendly scoopers in helping us to sample taste before making our choices!! NENE TRACKS in a waffle bowl was my ultimate choice for my namesake "Nene" This delightful creamy vanilla ice cream has a multi combination of the following: *Chocolate covered honey roasted almonds *Peanuts *Cashews *Mini peanut butter cups *Dark chocolate fudge *Salted caramel ( my favorite) Now can you taste it???? My next taste will be in Redlands, California!!!!
Absolutely love the staff here. They are so friendly, fast and hard working. I come to see them in the morning to get my usual morning coffee and as always even if its busy they got the best attitudes and do their best to get to everyone's orders asap. Loving their holiday drinks and now they have cold drew options as well. Definitely check them out not only for their ice cream but definitely for their coffee.
Got a double scoop in a waffle cone - got the Ube Macapuno and the Big Island special (I think this one came with vanilla ice cream and brownie bits). Service was excellent, ice cream was creamy and had a strong taste, and waffle cone was delicious. I also loved the walk to this location, it's a very cute store!
We usually always stop over at this place when we visit Hawaii. Located inside Hilton Hawaiian Village. You can smell them making the fresh waffle cones every morning. Although since they had the strike this visit, I don't smell their signature scent that draws people in. Service is always great and done with a smile. The girls there are always nice and friendly. They always have different varieties of flavors. This time around I tried their Ube haupia yesterday (forgot to take the picture) and their coconut pineapple (one of my favorites). A must try if you are staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village or just visiting Hawaii in general.
Coffee, pastries, and ice cream (gelato). Not knocking on ice cream for breakfast, but I was more in the mood for pastries. THE FOOD. - Croissant | Fluffy and flakey. No complaints here. - Cinnamon Roll | Sticky and entirely too sweet, per usual. Again, no complaints here. THE DRINK. - Chocolate Macadamia Nut | Foamy with chocolate flavors and the slightest hint of macadamia nut. Loved this, recommend. COMING BACK? Yep, I would return. It beats having to stand in a Starbucks line any day.
You absolutely cannot miss trying Lappert's. We went once & came back every single day after. It might look like a small coffee & ice cream shop, but they let the food do the talking. I don't have many pictures because I ate everything too quickly. The line can be long sometimes, but it goes by quickly. We tried the brownie, sticky bun, carrot cake, cinnamon roll, croissant, coffee & ice cream. Everything I tried was delicious. I think you'd enjoy whatever you tried. But seriously, that sticky bun & carrot cake... wow.
This establishment is located at Hilton Hawaiian Village and you will not miss the smell of fresh waffle cones/bowls being made. It wafts through the air and it is alluring! Lines may wrap around the building at times but do not be detoured by it. It moves quickly and it helps when you know what you want to order ahead of time. We ordered Oreo Cookie Crunch, Mint Chocolate Chip and Kona Coffee. It was so delicious and creamy. Such a satisfying treat after spending a day at the beach. It was so good that we came multiple days. It costs roughly $9 for 2 scoops of ice cream. Service was quick and staff were friendly. No seating is available but you can walk across to the lobby to find some benches to admire the view.
This was my go to spot in the morning for breakfast pastries and my iced coffee. The iced coffee was perfect, I always got an iced vanilla latte to drink. You HAVE to get a croissant and a cinnamon roll, ask for them to be warmed. So delicious and both were super soft. They have really good ice cream as well. I don't remember which flavors a got, but I do remember that it was really had to choose because every flavor I sampled was fire. All of the flavors are unique so make sure to sample a few before you leave. The line does get long but it moves fast and is worth the wait!
