Hilo Day Trip Stop 7: Pandamonia's Paletas

After lunch at Restaurant Kenichi, we planned on getting a sweet treat to eat.  Originally, we were going to get shave ice, but I saw someone post on Instagram about a "hidden gem" in Hilo - Pandamonia's Paletas!

I asked several people in Hilo about the place, and most of them never even heard of Pandamonia's Paletas before, so Nadia and I went to check it out for ourselves. 

 In an inconspicuous little shop you'll find freezers full of paletas in all sorts of flavors. 

It is extremely difficult to choose a flavor from all that there is available (there were 43 flavors available the day we went).  The friendly employees will not hesitate to give you some recommendations.

Ultimately, I chose Guava Cream, and Nadia chose Lemon Cream.

Guava Cream, Lemon Cream

I loved the Guava Cream. It was just the right combination of tart and sweet. Nadia said the Lemon Cream was a little too sour.

At just $1.50 a pop, you can try a lot of different flavors without breaking the bank.

There is seating inside so you can enjoy your paleta in air-conditioned comfort.
