Crema's Take
“Lappert's makes genuinely excellent ice cream with creative local flavors like Kona Coffee and Macadamia Nut that taste more sophisticated than typical tourist fare, plus their sorbet is legitimately chunky and refreshing if you need a dairy-free option. The crispy waffle bowls are a smart pairing, though be warned that service here is inconsistent—you might get a patient, friendly crew or someone who seems annoyed you've walked in. For a casual Hanalei stop with above-average ice cream in a charming setting, it's worth trying, just manage your expectations on hospitality.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

We've been enjoying Lapperts for over 20 years. Sadly, we can no longer enjoy the dairy side of it but the sorbet is delicious and delightfully chunky. Options change daily besides some thst have been favorites for years.

Ice cream was good, nothing amazing. The store smelled delicious. Had the Kauai Java in a cup and the Kona Coffee/Macadamia Nut in a waffle cone. The service was subpar, not welcoming. Would definitely try another location before returning.
Good place to stop for a delicious ice cream. The service is nice and friendly, patient to let you try the different flavors. The Kona coffee ice cream was very good!
