One of the best vegan ice cream shops anywhere! The island-inspired flavors were speechless. Mac nut was my favorite. Also Lilikoi lilac and rose petal pistachio were as good as they sound. The freshly-made gluten-free cone was the chief’s kiss. If you're lucky like me, you will get to meet the adorable snowy pup Nico! The staff were lovely, and the shop decor adorable. All around great vibes

This is killer coconut ice cream. Sells out every Wednesday at the farmers market and rightfully so! You must stop by and try it, it's going to be the best ice cream you have on the big island! They also make their own waffle cones.

We tried some of their gelato at Uncle Robert's Farmer's Market, and couldn't get enough. We went to their normal location in Pahoa and they had a larger selection of flavors. The owners were very friendly, and their products were great.

Best ice cream/gelato on the island! If you visit Hilo, this stop is a must! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our son's dietary needs, and even added some treats to his gelato. For people who loves spicy food, I highly suggest to try black scorpion; it can pair very well with rose pistachio gelato- this combo is my favorite, but there are so many unique flavors to choose from. I don't think I've tried anything close to that even in Italy! Next time I'm on a Big Island, this will be on my bucket list! Thanks for such a wonderful and unique treat!

My husband and I were blown away at how amazing this coconut based (vegan) gelato was!! I enjoyed a double scoop of creamy coconut bourbon chocolate, while he had espresso chip wildberry lavendar. We both highly recommend making a stop here for a tasty treat. You won’t regret it!!

Great coconut based gelato place with unique flavors in Pahoa. They also have a shop in Hilo and quite a few of the vege places on the Big Island carry their gelato. Friendly owner :D I appreciate they're all organic and offer GF because GF and vegan hardly ever happens for me.

Delicious vegan gelato!!! Cone is hand-rolled & made fresh, so amazing! Flavors are unique & tasty, I loved the cardamom rose! Definitely will be coming back.

So, if you are heading to so the scenic view, please please please stop at this place!!! Forget the shaved ice!! This vegan ice cream gem will blow your mind! Amazing flavours out of this world and amazing staff!! Pro: ice cream server is amazing! Nice vegan ice cream flavours Beautiful colourful decor Make vegan waffle cones too!! Also they have WHITE CHOCOLATE (cacao butter with coconut milk!!) miammmmm Con: not a full store and more like a stand.
