Dave's Ice Cream - Waipio

Walked around the neighborhood after a kanak-attack aka food coma from Christmas/New Years feast. Passed by Daves in Waipio and it was closed on New Years day. We saw someone inside but walked into Foodland instead just to walk around. When walked passed Daves again, we saw a family order ice cream!Of course we had to see if they were open, and YES IT WAS!!! THANK YOU DAVES for being open on NEW YEARS DAY!!! My nieces and nephews wanted an ice cream cone and I wanted their large bag of HURRICANE POPCORN. Craving Satisfied :)

A $2 "custom" charge if you buy a hand-packed quart and want two flavors? Really? There is ZERO extra work or expense to fill the top and bottom half of a quart container with 2 different flavors... same amount of scooping either way, right?That's just nickle-and-dime greed on TOP of an already very stiff $17 cost for a quart.EDIT #1 after owner says they dont do that I attached my receipt. And I was not given any extras like cones/pieces. I'll add some detail... when she was about half done scooping the my flavor, I asked the girl behind the counter if she was allowed to put two different flavors in the carton. She said there was an extra charge. I asked how much. She said she didn't know. I asked her to fill the rest with a 2nd flavor. She added the $2 custom charge (as you can see on the attached receipt). So it certainly seems like that is their policy.EDIT #2 owner sent a nice message, refunded the charge, and said they'd discuss with the employee. edited the stars to reflect it was an employee or training issue not a business policy.

Posting as a family of 6 with 4 children being 6 and under.Variety of ice cream flavors to choose from. They even serve shave ice, icees, and popcorn.Inside is small and can be crowded with limited seating. Tables can sit 3 at best.Overall a great place to go to!

For a small shop, Dave's ice cream has quite a variety of ice cream, mini ice cream cones, snacks, icee and more! They sell merchandise like their sturdy insulated bags. So cute the designs on them! There are always patrons, proving Dave's ice cream and snacks are yummy and satisfying. The decor in the shop is eye appealing. They have a few tables and chairs for patrons. They are next door to Foodland. During Christmas, their windows are beautifully decorated!

My bf shared the three scoops - the coconut, macadamia coconut, and blueberry cheesecake. Our favourite one was the macadamia coconut because there were actual pieces of macadamia and coconut. I felt it was a-okay. The blueberry cheesecake I wanted more pieces of cheesecake and a stronger blueberry flavour. The coconut (standalone) ice cream wasn't too strong as well. They do give pretty big scoops though! The server there was very sweet.

Great selection of flavors, though none stand out. I feel like each one I've tried just needs a little more of whatever flavor, like my green tea ice cream needed a little more matcha. Guava sorbet needs a little more guava flavor. Service needs to be a little more friendly, etc.

Dave's Ice Cream has been my favorite since childhood! Now it's my kid's favorite as well. The ice cream is made on the island and sold all over at restaurants, stores such as Longs, and grocery stores such as Foodland. My favorite flavor is the green tea. Other flavors I like are the Ube, Cotton Candy, and toasted macadamia nut. This store offers more than ice cream! * Icee: I like to get the strawberry-flavored Icee float with green tea ice cream. * Soda Float* Bubble tea* Sundaes* Ice cream cakes & Pies* Shakes & Smoothies* Popcorn: My top 2 favorites are the Hurricane, its freshly popped popcorn, butter arare, and nori furikake. The Tsunami mix has everything the Hurricane has with sour cream and onion.* Diamond Head Float* Shave Ice * Halo Halo* Bon Bons* Mini Cones * Chocolate Covered Strawberries* Chocolate Grape Sticks * Grabbers: It's similar to an ice cream sandwich* Chocolate Covered Banana* Clown Cones: Ice cream, sprinkles, sugar cone, chocolate chip eyes, whipped cream, and gummy bears. It usually has ample free parking and it's located next to Foodland and Teaesppresso. They accept credit cards and cash. There are a few seats inside. Service is great! Every time we come back to the island we make it a point to get Dave's Ice Cream.2024: 2/30

I love Dave's Ice cream! The cones are always super fresh and they have tons of flavors and shakes. There's lots of parking in the Waipio town center parking lot and the location is convenient. They always have giveaways on their IG and my husband recently won a sweatshirt and icecream of choice. Give their IG a follow and stop by!

Oldie but goodie. Their ice cream quality, to me, is the best. I STILL feel that their cookies and cream is the best on the island. It's really nice that they have small portions of chocolate covered mini ice cream cones. It's perfect as I don't want my kids eating a huge amount of sugar. My kids are satisfied. Service is good, but ambiance hasn't really changed with the times, so it's meh. Could use a bit of an upgrade to it's look. Aside from that, I will always go here.
