Crema's Take

“This beloved Hawaiian institution shines brightest for its house-made ice cream rather than coffee—think rich, locally-inspired flavors like macadamia nut and coconut paired with impossibly fresh waffle cones that fill the Wailea shopping center with irresistible aroma. While the cold brew can be hit-or-miss, the affogato-style approach of spooning espresso over creamy scoops has earned loyal repeat visits from vacationers, and the patient, friendly staff makes lingering in line feel like part of the island experience. Come here for the cream, not the coffee, and you'll understand why people keep coming back.”

What to expect

Cold brew standout. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Tons of yummy flavors! I had the coconut, caramel, macadamia nut, but my friend said the straight coconut was fantastic! The location, The Shops, is super cute. Lots of upscale shops for those with money and window shopping for those that don't. 😏

Delicious! Good variety of flavors, pricey but expected because of location and worth it. Had a scoop or scoop with espresso as a meal several times in 10 day visit. Always a line but has a patient staff. Great place!

Delicious ice cream served by friendly staff. The waffle cone tasted freshly made and enhanced the ice cream 's flavor. Recommend trying samples of 2 or 3 ice cream flavors before deciding.

Lappert’s hands down has the best ice cream I’ve ever tried. Had to come back twice On my first visit, I had the Pineapple Cake and Ube Coconut. The pineapple cake was good but a little heavy for me. The Ube Coconut was creamy, rich, and full of flavor. The second time, I got…
