Bubbies Home-made Ice Cream & Desserts

Sassy and sweet

7192 Kalanianaole Highway D103
Koko Marina Shopping Center
Honolulu, HI 96825
United States
+1 808 396 8722

Once you get a chance to read the suggestive names on the menu, you might wonder just whether Bubbies was in fact named after a grandmother, or if it was named after something else entirely! But when ice cream this sinfully rich is on the menu, a naughty name is only appropriate. Generous scoops of decadent ice creams, made locally and featuring island produce, are served. Banana Splits, Cookie Sundaes, Mud Pies and other favorites, all with a questionable name, are offered.

Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop

Confection haven in Waikiki 2127 Kalakaua Avenue
Honolulu, HI 96815
United States
+1 808 922 3766 San Francisco's legendary Ghirardelli Chocolate Company has plunked down a bit of confection haven in the midst of Waikiki. The decor is almost as sweet as the merchandise, and the aroma of the baking waffle cones is heavenly. If you want superb sundaes, ice-cream cones and chocolate, this is the place to visit. It also offers a good variety of coffee and coffee drinks. All of the treats here are simply wonderful, but be advised, you'll pay a pretty penny.

Hawaii's Best Desserts

Inexpensive pastries and ice cream 1450 Ala Moana Boulevard
(Ala Moana Shopping Center)
Honolulu, HI 96814-4610
United States
+1 808 949 7484 Inexpensive and delicious, the confections here are a perfect afternoon snack. The shop features Roselani ice creams, made in Maui. Thirty flavors, many of them made with local produce, are available. Try Macadamia Nut Brickle, Pohaberry or Mango-n-Cream. The pastries are luscious and surprisingly inexpensive. You'll find enormous banana tarts, blueberry cheesecake slices, and lilikoi mousse. Coconut mochi and poi bread are two uniquely local delicacies.

Matsumoto's Shave Ice

A Treat for the Young, Old, and Famous! 66-087 Kamehameha Hwy
Honolulu, HI 96712
United States
+1 808 637 4827
http://www.matsumotoshaveice.com/ Among the many, always welcome visitors, Matsumoto's has hosted movie stars, rock stars, pro-athletes and more. Photos of Adam Sandler and others hang on the walls. Shaved ice is a Hawaiian tradition, and nobody does it better than Matsumoto's. This is no snow cone; it comes in dozens of tasty flavors and a wide variety of add-on items. Lines are long, but it's well worth the wait. Try ice cream on the bottom, it's a local favorite. They have an old-town style retail shop for all sorts of things Hawaiian, like shirts and stickers. You can also check out their online shop. Their catch phrase is "the coolest place on the North Shore" and trust me, you'll agree. -Rex Davidson

Waiola Bakery & Shave Ice

Tropical snow cones 525 Kapahulu Avenue
(Near Herbert Street, a few blocks north of Waikiki)
Honolulu, HI 96815
United States
+1 808 735 8886 "Shave ice" (snow cones to Mainlanders) comes in more flavors than Baskin-Robbins, ranging from plebeian banana to exotic li hing mui (pickled plum). At this stand, a small shave ice costs $1.50, a large one $1.75. There's a slight extra charge for additional ingredients that can be hidden inside (ice cream or the Japanese favorite, red azuki beans). The bakery section has a nice selection of breads, sweet and savory pastries, and individual slices of cheesecake. There is plenty of seating.
