This Princeville spot is genuinely good for a high-quality, creamy ice cream treat with unique local flavors like Ube Haupia or Pineapple sorbet. It's a perfect stop for those who want a classic, rich frozen dessert after a beach day. If you're looking for a consistent, welcoming service experience or a predictable set of business hours, you might find a better fit elsewhere.
Vibe summary notes it's a 'perfect stop for those who want a rich frozen dessert after a beach day.'
Review [34] describes it as a 'tiny' shop set up like an 'old school' counter, ideal for grab-and-go.
the tiny Princeville branch — grab-and-go only, unlike the larger Koloa/Poipu spots
Not every branch is the same. Pick the one that fits the day.
Made in small batches in the heart of... Hanapepe, Kauai. For over 40 years we've been making ice cream, roasting coffee, and baking delicious treats. Every batch is handmade on Kauai with care, using time-tested recipes and quality ingredients that reflect the spirit of aloha.
