The lady recalculated my order correctly and let the price drop a few bucks. I thought that was sweet. This place is an original and has a story to it. The thing I love about this place is how the flavors are uniquely made in Hawai'i. This place is themed around old hawaii and still kept to it's roots. That's what I absolutely love about places like these. THEY AREN'T LIKE THOSE MASS INDUSTRY FRANCHISES. When we went we got the banana split which came in a boat platter because we ate in. Then we got three cones, lemon custard, something with chocolate chips, and I got the kona coffee flavored ice cream. It's been a month and only now am I doing the review so bare with me on the names. The flavors were all good and were perfect for a hot muggy day just like two weekends ago when we had the tropical depression pass by. They even have water if you please. The parking here is okay. You should definitely have parking here no matter what so don't worry about it. Overall, I enjoyed this place and my GF's nephew and niece definitely loved the fact that we passed by this ice cream parlor. I recommend this place to anybody who has a sweet tooth. This place is wayyyyyyy better than baskin robbins, DQ, cold stone or other sorts like these places.

Visited this location to satisfy my dessert craving. However, my craving wasn't satisfied, and in just a little disappointed. I ordered a halo halo as they were out of kulolo ice cream, but Their halo halo had no taste. I couldn't even taste the ube ice cream. On a side note, they did have a $3 green tea two scoop deal. My son just loves green tea so that was a deal.

So we stop in for a sweet treat. The service was not bad. She was sweet but didn't give you that warm fuzzy feeling that you could truly sample to find the ice cream you really wanted. The kids were tradition and simple. Chocolate with rainbow sprinkles, vanilla with rainbow sprinkles, and mint chocolate chip all in a waffle cone. I had the ube (sweet potato). The ice cream was ok, nothing overly special. The place isn't very clean. I think where my biggest issues came was when the woman running the counter sat at the table next to us eating crackers and cheese and when a customer came in, she took her snack, set it on the counter where they cut fruit for smoothies, didn't wash her hands and served them. I have a pet peeve for being sanitary and that grossed me out. That was our last time there...

I found a cockroach in my green tea ice cream and when I told the lady that worked there, she said that it wasn't a cockroach, but a tea leaf. Ummm... No lady, that is a head and wings of a cockroach!!!
(1)Sara H.
Came this to Daves because the one in Aiea's freezer was broken. They didn't have all the flavors or waffle cones. I was craving something very specific so we found this place on Yelp and headed over. Pleasantly surprised!!!! Service was good. I got exactly what I wanted! They were cooking waffle cones when we walked in. Yummy! Will be coming back!
(5)Sharina N.
Wasn't all what it was cracked up to be. The ice cream looked old. The green tea ice cream was ok. May or may not go back.
(2)Jennifer S.
Friendly girls behind the counter on a rainy evening, but the ice cream really just gets a "meh" from me. I ordered the banana fudge swirl, and it was a little grainy with ice - not smooth like other premium ice creams. Cups, sugar cones, and loads of waffle-cone options available. I had mine on a sugar cone and it was crisp and fresh. Nice variety of flavors; I'm willing to believe/hope others might have had better texture. A few tables and chairs for enjoying your ice cream there. Ice cream and regular cakes available, too.

This place is great, I believe it's one of the older ice cream parlours in Oahu, I've been coming here for years now, I first found out about it when I cousins told me about it. I would usually go to the one at the International Market Place which is now gone. Friendly service and lots of ice cream, my favs are the lemon custard and the haupia! :)
(4)Steven S.
Best green tea and ube flavor ice creams and milkshakes ever! No ka oi!
(5)Michele C.
Funny says they close at 9 everywhere but here I am standing outside at 8:47 with a locked door and employees avoiding eye contact as they clean up. Never coming here again
(1)Brannon T.
Dave's Ice Bream is the place to go...for ice cream. I've been going here for years. Forget 31 flavors, forget yogurtland...Dave's is where you want to go. They have the things as you'd find anywhere else. Cookies n cream, cotton candy, mint, all that stuff. Their prices are pretty good too. I like this place because it has that homey feel. Like a real ma and pop store. The people who work there are usually very nice. I've never had an issue with customer service. Looking for a good after dinner treat? Look no further.
(5)Nadia D.
HALO-HALO!!!! It was good but I gave it 3 stars because it legit only had like 3 tiny sweet beans in it. Not even joking or being sarcastic. Just 3 beans hidden at the bottom.. Anyway, my kid liked their new "pop-rocks" flavored Ice Cream.

I *love* Dave's Ice Cream. In fact, I used to work for Dave's ice cream when they first opened in the 80's. I learned a lot about ice cream and customer service while working for Dave's. I spy with my little eye while running errands in Aiea / Pearl City, a Dave's Ice cream shop. I decided to stop in to buy my mom (and myself) some ice cream, because that is her favorite. I ordered us each a double scoop - mom got Lychee Sorbet and Coconut Macadmia Nut. I got Coconut Macadamia Nut and Chocolate Macadamia Nut. I asked the young lady behind the counter to please put the ice cream in a larger container, so that 1) the ice cream wouldn't be smashed together, and 2) I was traveling 30-45 minutes before the ice cream was going to be eaten. She happily complied. The ice cream taste hasn't changed over the years. However, I have two minor complaints about the ice cream: First, the scoops of ice cream were very inconsistent. Typical ice cream scoops are generally around 4 oz. a cone. I previously worked at Daves and I've scooped over 1000 ice cream cones. The first scoop on the bottom was the adequate size, but the scoop on the top was very skimpy. The second scoop that we got (in both cups) was at least 50% smaller than the first scoop. I feel like I got shorted by at least 2 oz for one scoop. Second, I found several bits of freeze-dried ice cream in the scoops. Typically each night, the store should scrape down and wipe down the sides of the ice cream bins. Otherwise, there are leftover clumps of ice cream that dry on the side and they begin to pick up flavors of the freezer. ICK. I found several chunks of this dried ice cream in both the coconut macadamia nut and chocolate macadamia nut ice creams. ICK. Food Grade: C+ Service Grade: C- Worth the Money Grade: C- Overall Impression Grade: C-

This is such a delicious little place right in the strip mall. The first time that I came here I remember leaving dinner and wanting something quick and sweet. We decided to try this local place because by the looks of it it looked yummy and I had not even checked yelp. We went ahead and got the macadamia nut ice cream and oh my gosh it was amazing. Their ice cream is so soft and you just want to be a piggy and eat it all up. Definitely will be coming here soon. Super delicious and better yet....local!
(5)Kaleo C.
After taking the kids to Chuck E Cheeses next door, we decided to get Dave's. Besides their adorable little frozen ice cream cones they had to offer, it was a horrible experience. They weren't really welcoming and the place was so dirty. We ordered a bunch of cones and was almost happy until we got one of them tasted old. It tasted like icy milk. The Oreos tasted fermented. I know things go bad, I understand, so I simply went up to the counter with the full ice cream cup and explained we weren't happy with how it tasted. She refused to give me the money back because we took a bite of it. I was shocked how rude she was about it. I'm a very understanding person when it comes to customer service. I've been in the industry myself for 10 years and this was NOT good service. But, don't knock ALL Daves ice cream, the other ones are awesome! Just don't come to this one. Save yourself the trouble!
(2)Cynthia O.
Alway great Green Tea ice cream. As well as all the other flavors. They have ice cream sandwiches, tiny bite size chocolate dipped cones, dipped cherries, icee floats, coffee floats, ube float, and much more. Best deal is the already hand packed ice cream
(5)Kara O.
The ice cream is delicious! We went to Dave's a few years ago and decided to go back this time after dinner. We rushed over to Dave's after dinner only getting there minutes before they were closing yet they still had smiles on their faces and waited for us to decide which flavors to buy. They even gave us their recommendations and updates on the deals that were going on at the time. Definitely the spot if you're in the mood for ice cream!
(4)Mitilia M.
I love this place been coming here for almost eight years im a little older now and this place is so friendly and no matter what they smile while they make your desert
(5)Kristy C.
I love Dave's ice cream... But their halo halo sucks and their shaved ice isn't that great. It's better at the waipio Dave's. Other than those things this specific place is g.
(4)Shey O.
Tried their guava sorbet but ended up getting kulolo on top of hawaiian mud pie. BEST WAFFLE CONES EVER. So soft and crisp and flavorful. Kulolo is amazinggg and im not a big fan of coconut at all. But it was to die for and i want mooore. Husband invited his friends and they had no regrets either. And i saw that they had ice cream sammiches with kona in the center. Must tryyy. Local businesses alllll the wayyy.
(5)Shuao Li L.
Music is awful!
(2)Rupert L.
I really like the fact that Dave's ice cream takes forever to melt down. I can buy two scoops and drive to pearl ridge and my ic cream is still appealing. Always has the good flavors too, gotta try random flavors once in awhile. They don't accept Amex so that's why it's a four star.
(4)Michael S.
Bunch of kids working here that don't understand how "smiling" is part of customer service, but they got everything else down. Plus, it's dave's fuckin ice cream! Cannot give them less than 5 stars
(5)Lai T.
I brought my friend here after lunch one day because I was craving some green tea ice cream and she had never tasted it before. Now that I know what I like, I have realized that it is better to buy in bulk :) They are super generous with the way they pack the quarts! My order was literally filled to the brim. I was reminded to write this update because tonight I finished the remainder of my quart sized green tea and ube ice cream :( This has become a staple in the freezer for me. A couple of spoonfuls of ice cream will turn any sort of bad day into a good one for me. I'm pretty sure I ate about 95% of the ice cream, leaving only 5% for my bf...but it isn't my fault he has restraint :p
(4)Ram K.
Wow actually found parking right in front someone was just pulling out. On a Saturday with Chucky Cheese next door that's almost impossible. Only a mommy and little boy were in line which was okay because I had some decisions to make. Banana split or banana royale then which flavors.....hmm. Decided on a banana split w/ kulolo, kahlua fudge and guava. All the toppings please, fudge, strawberry, pineapple, whipped cream and nuts! Flavors are awesome, kulolo has always been my favorite. First time trying guava and that was good too. Only problem the scoops are kinda on the small side. The lady at the counter was really nice.
(3)Malia R.
I love all of the amazingly unique flavors of ice cream this local gem has! Green tea, haupia and kulolo are among my faves! Always greeted with friendly service! Only thing is parking is extremely tight, but once you find a spot, you're in for a treat! Literally!
(4)M M.
Wanted to try a new ice cream place but wasn't impressed. The lady at the register seemed nice but the guy working with her was a little rude. The ice cream itself was pretty good, though there were bits that seemed to be freeze dried bits. I think I'll just go to the grocery store next time.
(2)Taryn L.
So me and my daughter's went here a few minutes ago and I send my daughter in with $100 cause I'm 9 months pregnant and don't really want to get out of my car. She marks the bill with the marker they use to check the bill and it didn't show as Counterfeit but she still refused to take it and sent her on her way I go in there and ask her why and she says it looks like it cause she hasn't seen this bill (it's the new ones) she's completely rude to my daughter and to me and states the marker didn't even show it was a fake but she still refuses to take it. WORST EXPERIENCE FOE THE SECOND TIME.... they had some special on mothers day and she asks everyone except me if I want the special for mothers I'm pregnant and my teenage daughter is with me like really. Discrimination much not to mention she closes her doors at 845 when they should be closing at 9 EPIC FAIL need to go the original Daves ice cream where they know how to treat everyone.
(1)Venecia H.
Is all green tea ice cream created equal? If so, I think I'm ditching my usual coffee flavor for this stuff! I've been on a green tea kick lately, so when I read the reviews on Yelp about the green tea ice cream, I decided it was a must try. As soon as I walked in, without looking at any other flavors, I ordered my dose of green tea ice cream. I must say, I enjoyed every single lick! It was my first time trying green tea ice cream, so I'm not sure about how it compares to others, but I'm sure I discovered my new favorite flavor. On a side note, my husband tried it and didn't like it at all, said it taste too much like tea bags. -Haha tea bags!
(4)Randoll C.
Ice Cream! Craving another cold creamy dessert, I ended up at Dave's in Pearl City. It's next to Longs, tucked back in the corner by the Chinese restaurant so pull in otherwise, you might miss it if you're just driving on Kam Highway. An older Asian lady was manning the counter by herself and she was super friendly. She knew customers names and she was helpful as well as patient. Anyway, I ignored a friend's suggestion, as well as the lady behind the counter - I passed on the local flavors and went for something else. I opted for the Macademia Nut flavored flavors. Skipped the Green Tea, Ube, Haupia etc. Yes, I liked the ice cream and in fact, I finished it all up but my feelings were that it was decent, not great. It's quite possible that I'll feel differently if and when I get back to try something else. However, for the time being, even what I had - wasn't bad. Not bad at all.
(3)Hollie-Anne T.
I rather go to the Daves Ice cream by the golfing range. It was 30 minutes before closing time that we got there. I understand they wanted to go home, I would be cleaning up too, BUT there's still 30 minutes left. There was a couple already in there and when we got in the guy (assuming it's the owner) looked at us without telling us Hi or welcome he went on to doing whatever he was doing and the lady was helping the couple. The guy started talking in korean (so we wouldn't understand him) and the lady started laughing. She told me how no one came in before this so they started cleaning up and wanted to go home early, but now everyone wants to come in. Really?! you're gonna give us a poor attitude cuz you want to go home? that's a horrible way to run a business!!! So my bf and I just ordered what we wanted and left. Funny thing is that more people started coming in while we were ordering. You should've seen the look on their faces...
(1)Kim M.
I love Dave's. Dave's ice cream never leaves that nasty sugary aftertaste in my mouth! And the flavors are sinfully delicious! My favorite flavors: Green Tea - Best green tea ice cream I've ever had. I don't think I could even dream up a better tasting flavor. (The creaminess is perfect!) Ube - AKA purple yam - looks a little intimidating with it's baby Barney purple color, but it's good. Trust! Dave's not only has ice cream by the scoop or pint, they also have cakes! In my opinion, ice cream cakes are so much better for parties than regular yellow cake. And with Dave's ice cream, it's that much better. The customer service at this location is okay. I've had much better service at the older spot in Aiea next to Grace's. However, one really good thing about this location is its neighboring stores--Long's, Don Quijote, Foodland, etc. Very convenient for having a refreshing treat while grocery shopping! Oh, and there's lots of parking. Even though Dave's is a bit on the pricey side, I'm willing to overlook the cost. Dave's has got some of the best-tasting ice cream I've had. I'm addicted. Yelp 365 - #118/365

Stopped here 4/7, and had the double cup with green tea and toasted macadamia nut ice cream. Good stuff!!
(4)Riss R.
Great, local ice cream! Friendly service. BEST green tea ice cream!
(5)Keiko K.
I have to confess this review is based on only one flavor - Dave's Ube ice cream. One of the most amazing ice cream flavors I've ever had! But I do tend to like almost anything sweet potato. Bonus points for being purple. As far as I know, there's nowhere in Boston to get Ube ice cream. I can't wait to get back to Hawaii and head to Dave's!
(5)Nathan H.
Walked in, girls working behind the counter were not friendly AT ALL. They honestly looked like they were unhappy to be working there. Not only that, they were rude and not very customer friendly. I would recommend going to another ice cream place with a friendly environment.
(1)Bruce K.
Blueberry cream cheese is great on a sugar cone
(5)Reuben R.
This was the first dave's I've ever been to. My friend brought me here last june, haha, so I guess its kind of fitting that we're here again at the start of another summer. It hasn't changed since then. I thought the chuck e. cheese next door was going to close out but it didnt. At the counter, there are cone tops that were chopped off for only 50c from the mini cones that they make. This time we got the coconut taro ice cream, with its name escaping me but it started with an "h", as a sundae topped with pineapple sauce and whipped cream and a cherry for 5 dollars and 18 cents including tax, so not bad at all! The people manning the store were the same as a year ago. I doubt they remember us, but they were just as nice as I remember. Sometimes things just don't have to change.
(5)Jennifer H.
Started coming here after dinner at Grace's. So good! My favorite flavor so far is the sugar cookie, but there's so many choices! The server was also telling me they have ice cream challenges similar to Ben & Jerry's Vermonster. Will def return with an all-around crew. Challenge accepted!
(5)Darcy K.
You cant go wrong with Daves!!! They have a lot of "local" flavors like KULOLO (coconut & taro in vanilla ice cream), UBE (purple yam), GREEN TEA, KONA MUD PIE (coffee ice cream with cookies & fudge), HAUPIA, and AZUKI. These taste best in sugar cones!!! Just saying 8) Today I tried Lemon Custard with rainbow sprinkles and whipped cream. Lets just say I am the addict and the ice cream is my drug. I found my new favorite flavor of ice cream! You can get TRIPLE SCOOP waffle cones! Hell yeah I gotta try eat that much one day!
(5)Kristine C.
A friend took me to this place for a nice ice cream fix. I ordered the Chocolate chip cookie dough on waffle sugar cone. The ice cream was very tasteful and the cookie dough had a kick of toffee which I loved very much. They have a good selection in their menu for a variety of ice cream, to Halo Halo, smoothies, ice cream cakes, sugar waffel in pieces inside a bag. They're soon to have a machine filled with Jelly Belly's if you're into them. Place is clean, plenty of tables, next to foodland across outback steakhouse. A little bit on the moderate price side and they don't take debit/credit cards. However, ASB is next to Dave's if you need to withdraw.. sadly with a withdrawl fee. Plenty of parking, very convenient.
(4)Ashley O.
Woohoo! So, so much better than the Dave's in Aiea! Why, you ask? Just read my review on *that* location and imagine the complete opposite! They actually give you a nice-sized scoop of ice cream. We're talkin' substantial, here. And it's not all melty. Ugh, I hate melty. My family and I have decided that whenever we're in the mood for ice cream, we'll drive the extra 2 miles or so to the Pearl City location. It's not far and it's totally worth it. Sorry for the hatin' on the Aiea location, but that's just the way it is.
(4)Dayners P.
Dave's has such awesome ice cream!! The store is all kinds of heaven. Green Tea, Ube, Haupia, Cotton Candy, Hawaiian Mud Pie, Kona Coffee, Lilikoi, Guava...all kinds of local flavored ice creams. All are soooo yummy. Especially the Hawaiian Mud Pie, it's coffee and fudge and some random chunky stuff that is complete awesomeness in a spoon. They also do Halo Halo with ube ice cream. Green Tea shave ice, with condensed milk and green tea ice cream. They do regular shave ice. Shakes, blended coffee drinks....all kinds of yummy. They also have a little freezer in the front that has mini cones (like teeny four inch Drumsticks), chocolate dipped cherries, chocolate dipped cheesecakes, chocolate dipped bananas, pre-packed pints, pre-made ice cream cakes and pies. My son loves the little mini cones...they come in packs of three or five. But remember, they are cash only! I will miss Dave's soooooo much when I move off island next week....
(5)Gloria S.
They make one of the best Mint Chocolate Chips I've ever tasted! Dave's Ice Cream is made right here in Hawaii. I am all for supporting local businesses and this is one of the business I will support! Great ice cream and great service!
(5)Chris J.
Been loving this place for years...yah so its not the nicest place or as high maka maka looking as some of the new place....bujt let me tell you something...this is the best green tea ice cream in the universe. Everytime I come home to oahu I must eat a gallon or more..no joke So please improve your life and enjoy some....yougurt land sucks anyways....yogurt is for fatties...just kidding.
(5)Amanda U.
Pretty good :). Not too many places have dave's so its nice to get a scoop of BLUEBERRY cheesecake rather than the usual strawberry. They don't have kids sizes here and one single scoop filled up my 5 year old and 10 year old brother. Me and the boyfriend split a 2 scoop but it seriously looked like a 3 scooper in a 2 scoop cup. The lady working seeed to be the owner and she had some friends at a table hangng out so it was a nice atmosphere they were chatting and laughing so the 2 lil ones I was with decided it was ok to be a bit silly. They hve Halo halo and some specialty items on the menu and the pricing wasn't too bad. $11-ish for 2- single scoops, and 1-2 scoop. I love these flavors a lot more than your regular tcby or baskin robins. The only down side the topping looked a bit not fresh if you know what I mean. But honestly with daves, u don't need topping when there's flavors like sugar cookie, pineapple mac nut, and kona fudge :P
(4)Stephanie B.
I have seen this place so many times since I'm always at this shopping center. Conveniently located next to Chuck E Cheese. I finally decided that I would take the kiddos in today. It isn't a very big place but boy they stay busy! They have like five small tables along the wall with some stools for you to enjoy your Ono ice cream. They had so many choices of flavors that my younger daughter got confused on what she wanted. The lady that worked there was really sweet and let her try a few flavor to help her decide. I liked how they had so many local flavors; suck as Green Tea, Ube, Haupia, Cotton Candy, Hawaiian Mud Pie, Kona Coffee, Lilikoi, Guava, coconut, coconut macadamia nut, kulolo, and of course pineapple. They also offer bubble drinks, shakes, shave ice, and blended coffee drinks. In a freezer in the front they had mini choc dipped ice cream cones, choc dipped bananas, choc dipped strawberries, choc dipped cheesecake, and a lot of other goodies. My two younger kids couldn't eat their ice cream fast enough, my daughter got cotton candy and my son got pineapple. My oldest got a honeydew bubble drink. The older couple that work in there were super nice. They are generous with their scoops. They are a little pricey but it is worth it.
(5)Laura D.
BEST ICE CREAM I HAVE HAD E V E R. Yes it's pricey, but the quality is amazing. Great, creamy consistency, home made waffle cones. IT's worth every penny. My favorite flavors are kulolo & ube, not too sweet & you can actually taste the real flavors of sweet potato & coconut/taro. My husband usually gets the cookies & cream & cheesecake flavors & they're pretty good as well.
(5)Jen K.
Dave's Ice Cream is totally bitchin'. They have super Hawaiian flavors like coconut, ube, haupia, and macadamia nut. And my personal favorite: kulolo! The kulolo is so good. They also have the best green tea ice cream ever. They also have the standard stuff like rocky road and chocolate and all that other boring crap. They do boba teas and halohalo now, too. My single scoop in a cup cost me a hefty $3. Broke da jaw. Not da bank.
(5)Jimmy T.
Dave's saved my day today when Milano Freezer left me hanging with no green tea love. I soon found myself skipping through the door to a place I knew would have what I jonesed for. Thanks to Dave, I now know who I can count on at least 60% of the time EVERYTIME.
(5)Dee W.
Great selection of yummy goodness & excellent service. The lady behind the counter seriously made us feel like we were in her home having ice cream with her. We loved it there! Keep up the fabulous work, we'll see you next time we're in Oahu!
(5)Regine G.
The first time I had Dave's Hawaiian Ice Cream was when I was on Moloka'i on business. I vividly remember the taste of their kulolo and lemon custard ice cream, so you can imagine how excited I was when I found out there were multiple locations on island! My second trip to Dave's was to their location in Waimanalo. It was tucked away in a small plaza; clean eatery and good selection of ice cream. Nothing to complain about. But guys, I'm seriously contemplating on calling the department of Public Health because of my last experience at this Pearl City location. I went with my boyfriend and sister. My sister and I asked to sample a few things; the lady seemed kind of irritated that we asked to sample something right off the bat. But isn't that the point of going to ice cream parlors? Trying samples before you order a scoop or two? Anyway, instead of small sampler spoons, she used wooden sticks, like Ben & Jerry's. Fine. But what grossed me out was that she put ice cream on both ends, so my sister had to eat her side first, then my sister passed the stick to me, so I could taste my ice cream flavor from the other end. Weird? Even weirder, I asked to sample another flavor. (At this point, the lady said "OKAY NO MORE SAMPLES, AFTER THIS, YOU MUST CHOOSE!" what the heck, man.) She gave me my sample. I ate the ice cream. Then my sister asked to try something, and the lady asked for my sample stick back so she could use the other end for my sister's sample. WHAT!? I'm not 100% positive that she even used the other "clean" end. I also remember her long dirty fingernails touching my ice cream before serving us. I feel like this is the kind of establishment that would go through the rubbish bin at the end of the day, and re-wash the disposable cups and spoons. My visit to this location was such a turn off that I still get sick at the though of my last experience. I think I'll stick to Baskin Robbin's for ice cream from now on. At least they don't yell at me there when I want to try more than one sample.
(2)John M.
My banana split was awesome and the service was great. The selections of flavor include traditional and flavors I would expect to only find in Hawaii. After the banana split I just couldn't pass on a waffle cone with Kona coffee ice cream. They make the cones fresh. I will definitely return.
(5)Trisha G.
How did I not know about this place. I was craving Ube Ice Cream and decided to search for it on Yelp. This is the first place that popped up. When I got there, I was pleasantly surprised. Along with the regular flavors, they have UBE and KULOLO. Both were good. The Kulolo even has little chunks of Kulolo mixed in. The funny thing is that both flavors taste similar. Purple sweet yam versus sweetened taro. It was kinda funny, but both were delicious. Try them out for a different experience. There were a few other flavors that I wanted to try. They also make bubble drinks and halo halo. I'll be going back to taste their other flavors.
(4)Elle V.
I love Dave's ice cream, I usually go here or to the one in Waipio for my fix. Lemon custard and Kulolo are my favorite flavors! If the parking lot is packed don't forget about the two 15 minute stalls right outside of the store, it looks like handicap only but it's not! They take cash or card and it's definitely worth the price. I only eat ice cream here, Baskin Robbins, Ice Garden or at Bubbies.
(5)Kristen C.
I came here after lunch and even though i was full im never too full for dessert ;P. I was going to go to the one in waipio but then i remembered that there was one here also, so after I spotted it I quickly turned it. The ice cream here is really top notch and the local flavors are really goooood and can't really find anywhere else. From previous stops I like the kulolo and kona coffee. For today I shared a cake sundae with my friend and it came with a scoop of green tea and a scoop of haupia ice cream with strawberry syrup, whip cream, nuts, and a cherry. It was so delicious and refreshing after eating a filling lunch. The chocolate cake at the bottom was also pretty huge. It ran around $5 and you cant go wrong with that. They also sell ice cream cakes and ice cream pints and this pre-made/frozen chocolate ice cream cones dipped in nuts or sprinkles. They looked tempting but maybe next time. The servers/owners were also quite nice and thanked us after we left =)

homemade ice-cream indeed. the quality in my opnion is way better than the over-priced, over-hyped bubbies. the prices are decent here. and at this shop, the ppl are super nice & friendly!

i love dave's ice cream. the green tea is my favorite. if i'm feeling sad, then i get cotton candy. the service is always friendly. i just wish there was more seating inside.
