Kailua is one of Oahu's most charming towns, and its dessert scene is no exception. I pulled together the five spots worth knowing — a mix of ice cream shops, a dedicated dessert boutique, and a beloved local shave-ice institution — so you can cool off the right way after a day at the beach.
The list is led by the best-rated options the area has to offer. Double Three and FROST Kailua are two standout names you'll hear locals mention, while Island Snow Hawaii has long been a go-to institution for shave ice right in the heart of town. Please Come Again rounds out the lineup as another well-regarded ice cream option in the neighborhood.
Spots that Nate has personally visited and verified carry the NateEatsHawaii badge on the page — keep an eye out for that signal when you're deciding where to head first.
