Waikiki Japanese Soft Serve Round Up

I've finally visited every popular Japanese soft serve shop in Waikiki!  If you haven't, here's a handy guide.  

Matcha CafĂ© Maiko -  Located a few doors down from Marukame Udon and across from the International Market Place, come here if you are a true matcha aficionado.  The matcha flavor is the strongest and most authentic to those found in Japan. 

Maiko Special Matcha Parfai

Nana's Green Tea - Located in the Waikiki Yokocho, Nana's offers the most extensive menu featuring matcha and hoji soft serve, parfaits, lattes, chocolates, sundaes and frappes.  You can also get teas, coffees, juices, and even chazuke.

Matcha Love - Come here if you love black sesame ice cream!  Haven't seen black sesame soft serve anywhere else.  Located in the Mitsuwa Market on the second floor of the International Market Place. 



Kulu Kulu - For coffee lovers, you must have the Kona coffee soft serve.  It's only available at their Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center location.  If you take your coffee with cream, try the Kona Coffee (made from 100% Kona coffee) and Maui Vanilla twist.

Matcha Cafe Maiko


Matcha was one of the top trends in 2016, and continues to be one of the widely consumed and instagrammed food item in 2017.  It's healthy, and when used as a flavoring for soft serve, it's irresistible on hot summer days and nights.



My favorite destination for matcha soft serve on Oahu is a tiny, unassuming shop on Kuhio Avenue in Waikiki called Matcha Cafe Maiko.


The Maiko special with matcha and vanilla swirl is amazing - it has a lot of goodies in there like chestnuts, matcha chiffon, and shiratama mochi. 


Give them a try the next time you're in Waikiki!
