Dave's Ice Cream At The Ilikai — Restaurant in Honolulu

An ice cream shop with unique flavors and cone options!🍦

I frequented this shop almost everyday of my trip to Hawaii since it is located in the resort!

Atmosphere: Located near the lobby at The Ilikai, the space catches the eye with its colors and branding! I loved how it still had a clean look with the bright reds found all throughout the space. Service: The guys that worked here were awesome. They were good about keeping calm while experiencing busy days, always letting people try however many flavors they wanted, and making the checkout process as quick and smooth as possible. Menu items: I wanted to try as many of the unique flavors that I could during my visit and was able to make pretty good progress. Here are all of the flavors: Ube, Coconut Macadamia, Green Tea, Hawaiian Mud Pie, Kahlua Fudge, and Haupia!

I loved every flavor of ice cream that I tried with Ube, Coconut Macadamia, and Hawaiian Mud Pie being my favorites! They also have fun cone options: waffle bowl, waffle cone, 2 different single scoop cone options, and 3...

Great selection and interesting flavors. The young men working there were very pleasant! Would like to see management help those with nut allergies by clearly annotating which ones have nuts, like most restaurants.

Luckily there’s a shop a couple doors down that I ran to grab Benadryl from to hold her over until we got to the hospital.

Our bad, their bad, whatever. Just put a picture of a peanut or something on each ice cream label and that will eliminate confusion and save someone’s life (and...

We found the flavors to be very bland. Guava and Mango sorbets were more like vanilla with a very slight fruit flavoring. Today I tried rainbow sherbet, which you’d think would be bursting with tart flavors but noooooo, barely can tell it’s rainbow sherbet. I don’t think I could tell you if I was blindfolded. The other reviews here exclaiming the best ice cream they’ve ever had truly perplex me. Maybe you really haven’t had good ice cream? The staff is very friendly, I’ll say that, but with these island prices, if you’re going to be disappointed, best to sample Dave’s on $2 Tuesdays rather than at regular price. Oh, and get it in a cup or put your cone in a cup because the ice cream is rather soft to begin with and...
