I read and heard so many good things about this place that maybe I was too hyped or that our experience here fell short.The better half and I brought my two nephews here as one is lactose intolerant and they had some nondairy options for him. The better half did some taste testing and decided on the toffee coffee and my eyes were locked on the beer butter but I saw that they had an affogato, so I changed my mind and got that. One of my nephews got the mango sorbet and the other one got some kind of oreo thingy.We were so fortunate as just when we got our stuff a group of people stood up and left. My nephew quickly went and grabbed it for us. While the conversation was awesome no one said anything about what they were eating. When I dug into my affogato, the coffee was really strong and very bitter. It was just overpowering the whole taste that I would normally throw it away but i didn't want to be that negative Nelly and ruin the mood of our conversations. After getting home I asked the better half what did she think of hers. She said for the price that small little cup (like the one they give you at the dentist to rinse your mouth) for around $5 was not worth it. I'm sure my two nephews felt similar as they are usually really vocal when they eat good food but they didn't say anything.Oh well, at least we got to try it. One and done for me anyways.
Love the selection of gelato. There's always creative and interesting flavors to try. This time I ordered the vegan caramel and honeycomb. Creamy and delicious.
Really enjoyed the gelato. There are a lot of different flavors. I like the strawberry shiso, lilikoi vegan and strawberry cream. They also have vegan, which is great for my family members who have food allergies. In fact, I got an oreo gelato cake for my nephews birthday....ono! If you are ever in Kaimuki, a wonderful cool down option.
The staff were very kind and gelato was great. The butter beer was sweet with very soft gentle flavors, also got a pint to go. :)
Nice gelato shop in Kaimuki with an island influence of flavors like haupia, guava, green tea.Staff is super friendly and helpful
We family of 5 came here 3 times on our 10 day vacation. We drove around the island looking for ice cream and after a couple bad stops we found this glorious place. The Gelato is vegan friendly and there is a flavor rotation as some of the flavors we had the first visit weren't there the second. The staff is super kind and friendly and we appreciated that the music was soft to everyone could hear our order. We will definitely return when we visit Oahu again.
Best place for Gelato on the island. Could, and have, eaten this stuff for breakfast. Always evolving, always changing, and always ono! Nuff said!
Yummy gelato. Love that they use stoneware cups and metal spoons if you're eating in. Helps to save our planet!Friendly staff. Check them out!
When you think of gelato you probably don’t immediately think of Hawaii (less sensitive people would think of something like Italy while more sensitive people think of ice-creams eggless alternative), and you would not be wrong for that. Via Gelato is not trying to make a grand statement about some great unknown gelato culture in Hawaii, because there is none. Instead, they are just making some really good product with local inspired flavors that demands impulse buying on second portions and return trips usually made within the same week. Very cool!
So many unique and classic flavors. You can get your gelato in a cup, waffle cone, sando, or pints. There are a couple of tables inside and a few benches oitside.
