Roll out... Roll out...
This is the first place in Hawaii that has this type of rolled ice cream. This style of ice cream originated in Thailand I believe.
This place had various pop ups at events like at Rice Festival and Pearlridge but this is their first actual location. It's the old Ailana shave ice location by Manichi Ramen. They have their own parking lot.
It's super interesting to watch them make the ice cream. It's kind of like Cold Stone but much more entertaining. They pour liquid and mix ingredients onto this super cold metal surface so that it hardens. After it hardens, they scrape it up and make it into rolls and add toppings.
It's a super cool concept, fun to watch and looks really yummy. The only drawback for me is that it's super sweet, much sweeter than ice cream in my opinion and too sweet for me.
Prices range from $5-$7.50. You can get either a keiki or regular size. You can easily share a regular unless you're a dessert person.
You can choose from one of their 6 flavors or create your own. Flavors: cookies and cream, strawberry shortcake, frozen hot chocolate, love you so matcha, pineapple 5-0 or monkey n' around.
If you create your own: First choose any base (original, hot chocolate or matcha). Then chop one ingredient and then choose three toppings.
You should definitely give them a try!

Read moreSweet Creams makes ice cream rolls like the ones from Thailand that you have probably seen in Facebook videos. I have been stalking Sweet Creams @sweetcreams808 on Instagram for quite some time now and to my dismay could never make one of their pop-ups! I seriously even considered hiring them for an event, but my kids didn't want to celebrate their birthdays 4 and 11 months ahead. Party poopers.
But great news for ice cream lovers everywhere is that Sweet Creams will be opening across from Ala Moana Shopping Center on 1430 Kona Street, next door to Manichi Ramen. Their soft opening will be this Friday, February 10 and their Grand Opening Saturday, February 18.
At their VIP event, my son and I got to try their most popular three flavors: cookies n cream, strawberry shortcake, and pineapple 5-0. Cade is a big fan of oreos so he loved the cookies and cream. For me, I enjoyed the fruit flavors more. The ice cream is not as thick as I am used to, but still so creamy. I like that they are using fresh ingredients and that I can customize my order. Can't...
Read moreI love sweet creams. This is my favorite ice cream spot on island - the ice cream is so delicious and they have so many flavors (and you can customize your base and topics and be as creative as you’d like). My personal favorite is cookies n cream while my boyfriend likes the strawberry shortcake (we both customize our toppings to our liking). I’ve even brought my parents here (who are very hard to please when it comes to ice cream taste/texture etc) and they both said they really liked it and thought it tasted great. On top of the ice cream being insanely delicious, every staff member there is so incredibly nice and sweet. Bev, Uri, and Tony specifically are so warm and friendly and it truly makes every visit there so special. I really enjoy seeing them when I visit and it makes my day. I would highly recommend visiting sweet creams if you’re looking for a yummy...
