I usually like to do some research before writing a view but didn't find no link to Yelp to their website. One of the Yelper mentioned something about New Zealand inspired and started from North Shore. I found their website at http://www.sweetasicecream.com/After dinner at Ala Moana, we wanted a light, cold dessert. I've seen this kiosk across from Neiman Marcus few times passing by. I think there was another ice cream place here. Anyway, you get to choose type of ice cream and what fruit you want. It was easy to order. They blend the fruit into the ice cream like soft serve. I really didn't know what to expect. We got the Keiki size for $8 and it was perfect for two people. My choice was vanilla ice cream with rasberry. You don't want to eat an ice cream for a meal. And surprisingly, it was very light. I think I rather come here the next time and try different flavor rather than my usual ice cream fix at Norstrom gelato.

This is an ok option for ice cream! This is a kiosk at Ala Moana Center on the third level. You customize your ice cream with the flavor of the base (ice cream or frozen yogurt), fruit, and toppings. Service is really friendly, and I found that my order came out in a reasonable time!I got a keiki size vanilla ice cream with mango, and honestly I was a little disappointed with what I got! It mostly tasted like vanilla with frozen mini cubes mango swirled inside. I felt like I could barely taste the mango and the frozen chunks were a little jarring (I'm not a fan of biting into my ice cream). I appreciated that it wasn't too sweet, but for the price I was hoping for a stronger flavor, especially with fresh fruits.I wouldn't mind trying the other flavor combinations, but overall it's just okay to me!

I really like how you can customize your icecream based on your own preferences to choose the fruit, icecream basis, toppings, and type of cup/cone.To order, it is located on the right side of the kiosk stall. Considering the size, I think it is a little pricier end for soft serve. I order a strawberry frozen yogurt and it was alright, but the texture was a little bit more of greek yogurt and would prefer a little bit more sweetness. BUT IT IS PERFECT, if you want to find a healthier alternative! Sizes: (based on 11/2024)-Keiki (one scoop of icecream w/ a fruit) $7 -Nui (2 scoops of icecream w/ a fruit) $9SEATING: limited on a first-come-first-serve basisPARKING: plenty provided at the Ala Moana MallSERVICE: quick and friendly

I LOVE!!!! Soft serve froyo is my fave type of ice cream, so I'm so glad I tried this!! They give so much I got the smallest size and it was still a lot lol. lilikoi with rainbow sprinkles was the perfect mix of sweet and tart :) plus the girl who made my cone was so nice!! The perfect mid-shopping treat.

Sweet As Ice Cream at Ala Moana (3rd floor above Center Stage) is a treat! I tried the coconut base with mango, and it was so creamy and refreshing--almost like a piña colada in ice cream form. Super delicious! It is on the pricier side, but if you're craving a unique, tropical dessert, it's definitely worth a try!

We were on a hunt for ice cream and since this was the end of our day, and we both met up at Ala Moana, we came here. I ordered the mixed berries and I like how they mix it all together and it comes out in this delicious ice cream swirl! Waffle cone is the only way to go!

I like simple menus with clear instructions how to order. Sweet As does a great job of walking you through your options. Pick a fruit, pick an ice cream, pick a size, optional add-ons, and done.My favorite is lilikoi in their coconut ice cream, followed by strawberry in vanilla ice cream. Oddly, the opposite combinations (lilikoi in vanilla and strawberry in coconut), while still good, were not as good; and I have no idea why lol. The coconut ice cream also has some texture to it, which I presume is bits of coconut.Their waffle cones are good and freshly made as well.The register is around to the right side if you are facing the front of their large kiosk.

Goodbye to the ice cream shop that always offered samples, and hello to really good froyo! I love the concept of this place - you get to pick your base and any toppings that you would like blended into it. I chose the froyo base with mango as my fruit. I loved the slight tartness of the froyo with the sweetness of the mango. I got mine in a waffle cone, which was pretty fresh and crispy. However, my friend also got a waffle cone that was really soggy and tasted strange. Even the kids size was massive! Workers here were super friendly. They're located above center stage at Ala Moana. Super central and convenient location!

Sweet as Ice Cream has been open for a couple of months at Ala Moana Center. They have two other locations; one in Laie (which I've strolled past but not patronized) and another in Haleiwa.Situated on the third level just above the AMC center stage. There is a small seating area on the ewa side of the kiosk. They offer a New Zealand style of ice cream. It is not too sweet - in the best way - and it's light, similar to soft serve.They offer a vanilla and coconut base as well as a non-dairy coconut milk base for vegans and those lactose-intolerant. Frozen yogurt is their fourth alternative.Pick a fruit - I've requested strawberry and pineapple - and then pick a base. I paired the strawberry with vanilla; and also mixed pineapple with coconut...both were excellent. The latter was in a waffle cone, also not coying in sugary sweetness. They offer several fruits to add to your base of choice...it is all about the base, however...such as mango, lilikoi, and blueberry.Keiki size is more than enough but there is a Nui size for those ice cream addicts who are hungry. Service was very good...wait not too long. Parking? It is AMC - so parking is plentiful but so is foot and car traffic.

While I don't have a sweet tooth, I do love me some ice cream! The selling point of this company is the addition of fresh fruits to their soft serve. ATMOSPHERE:The oversized kiosk structure is located on a third floor bridge above centerstage near Neiman Marcus. Communal open-air seating is available. PARKING:Plenty of free parking is available. MENU:Soft serve ice cream. DESSERT:Three simple steps when ordering: Choose your ice cream flavor, choose your fruit, choose your size & style (single or double) in a cup or waffle cone. The ice cream & fruit are put into a churning machine which gently mixes it together.I chose a double "scoop" of vanilla with bananas in a waffle cone ($10). The ice cream was piled high and not overly sweet, but I could hardly taste or detect any inkling of bananas. The waffle cone was textbook ice cream shop. SERVICE:Counter service was fast and friendly. OVERALL:I was expecting more of a wow flavor factor due to the addition of fresh fruits but it tasted like plain, mainstream soft serve.
