Everyone who knows me knows how i love matcha! Matcha ice cream is just the best invention ever! The girl At the gelato place recommended some roasted coconut with it and it was just a perfection cute little yummy place in a fun neighborhood
Located in Kaimuki, there are street parking and also a large pay parking lot around, so finding a parking is usually not a problem. There are about four tables inside that allow you to sit down and enjoy your Gelato. They do offer a variety of cones like waffle cone, etc. You can also order your gelato on a cup. Besides eating at the restaurant, you can also buy frozen gelato to take home. I ordered 3 single scoop of ice cream on 3 waffle cones, it costs about $23 (nothing cheap now a day ) I really like the haupia favor and my wife like her black sesame flavor. The staffs are friendly, I can see a lot of people come to enjoy their dessert after their meal.
There are so many dining places in Kaimuki and this little gelato place is perfect for a dessert or refreshing snack. The server was very nice and answered my questions. The menu has a great selection of gelato or sorbet and there are ready made containers if you want to purchase to take home. I was told the selections change weekly. There is an indoor seating with wooden seats and an interesting wall background. I ordered the almond cookie flavor and my daughter had the lemon cheesecake. Both were yummy!
Been to Via Gelato time and time again. It is currently one of our go to ice cream shops. We are always on the lookout for vegan ice cream choices. Via usually has a few vegan flavored ice creams. They also have some pints. My daughter's favorite ice cream here is the ube that happens to be vegan as well. My husband loves the pb, but they have not had it much recently. Prices are not bad for the quality that you receive. They have a few indoor tables and a couple outdoor benches. If you are dining in, they put it in a ceramic bowl. They have been upgrading items slowly like redoing their gelato case. Everyone is really nice when you come.
Absolutely loved this place!! It was a ways from our hotel in Waikiki, but we'll worth it! We ran into some locals attending a traditional Christmas parade which was really cool, but not so much for our Uber driver. The food/ice cream was amazing, as they had an amazing coconut sorbet. Service was great too, but know, they adhere strictly to the 2 samples per customer policy. We saw some folks trying to take advantage of samples, but not happening here! Prices are steep, but that's to be expected I suppose in an ice cream shop located in Hawaii. A pint will set you back $14. Ambience was overall nice, even with a busy parade night. There is seating both inside and along the wall outside. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed!
Are you eating at one of the pricier restaurants in Kaimuki? Or one of the cheaper ones that doesn't have desserts? Via Gelato to the rescue! One of the best places for a refreshing dessert in Kaimuki. My personal favorite is the sesame seed, but their espresso one is also very tasty. Service is very friendly and attentive, and it's a fun shop to sit down and enjoy your gelato. There are often children running around enjoying their gelato, which is usually (but not always) cute.
TUTU's Blueberry Square I just have to say that this one was amazing! TUTU, you out did yourself. Mahalo.
We tried their new matcha-gato and hojicha-gato! You can get any flavor gelato you want and get matcha or hojicha poured over. A cool twist on the more traditional affogato with espresso! I loved that they serve it in a beautiful ceramic bowl! My mother in law specially requested it with condensed milk--yummy! I ordered a new flavor, Tutu's blueberry squares. OMG so good, and it had whole blueberries and graham cracker crust in it! Our server was patient while we figured out what to order. She informed us it would take some time for her to make the dishes. Took less than 5 minutes. I appreciated that when some more customers came in, she finished our desserts first before taking their orders. I love coming back because they always have something new and delicious!
Wow I missed Via Gelato and I can't believe I have not been back here in so long. Since my last visit, Via Gelato has only gotten better. When I visited this week the place was buzzing. I love the location and space and service is still great. The flavors are tasty, Rocky Road, Cookies & Cream, Ube, Vanilla Bean, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Haupia, Guava, Green Tea Matcha. My wife and I shared a Grande Sunday and it was delicious. The Grande is perfect for sharin. We had three flavors of ice cream, Rocky Road, Salted Caramel and Cookies and Cream. The warm hot fudge, whip cream and Cherry was the highlight. Support Local and Kamaki and visit Via Gelato.
