“Lappert's Hawaii brings a beloved local ice cream institution into Waikīkī's hotel scene, where their espresso bar pairs expertly-pulled shots with generous pastries and the kind of generous samples that turn a quick coffee run into an indulgent ritual. Whether you're staying at the Hilton or exploring the neighborhood, their baristas craft espresso however you like it while the pastry case and legendary Kauai Pie ice cream tempt you into treating yourself—making it the perfect spot for families and coffee lovers alike to kick off their mornings or satisfy an afternoon craving.”

Lappert's Ice Cream and Coffee located in the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Convenient if your staying at the Hilton. They serve espresso! You can get your coffee or espresso pretty much however you like it. They have a large variety of ice cream and ice cream treats which are delicious 😋. The also have a variety of ground or whole bean coffee for purchase. Great kind, patient, helpful staff.
Highly recommended ice cream, dessert, and coffee shop in Waikīkī located within the Grand Hilton Hawaiian shops. We stayed at this hotel and I wish I got to at least try their coffee. I went one evening upon closing to finally try their ice cream. There was a long line that went by very quickly, they have both indoor and outdoor seating and the smell of the fresh waffle cones is quite attracting. I asked what the most popular flavors were and there were a ton. I got a split single scoop in a waffle cone. It was Oreo cookie crunch and caramel coconut macademia nut. I devoured my ice cream while walking back to my hotel room. It’s right next to the parking garage so if you are coming or going to the beach, an event, or the luau here then you have somewhere to get a sweet treat!
This spot became part of our morning ritual while we were here! The kids loved coming and picking out a warm drink and baked treat early in the morning. The service is kind and when the line is long it moves fast! The cinnamon rolls are crave worthy and they do not have any gluten free breakfast food options (other than ice cream of course!). Wed grab our coffee and head to the beach and enjoy on the sand and shore. This spot became a staple of a fun family trip full of sweet memories in Hawaii!
Was going to get a coffee, but got an ice cream instead. They're very generous with customers in ice cream samples. I tried their popular kaua'i pie ice cream. She purposely scooped a lot of macadamia nuts for me to try. Unfortunately it was really sweet, so it wasn't for me. I tried the Kona Coffee and Kona Java Lava ice creams. The both had strong coffee flavours, but the Kona Java Lava one had chocolate sorbet laced in the ice cream and the flavours were so good. Waffle cones are pre-made, so it kind of crumbled as my ice cream melted, but the taste of the cone was good. Lots of people came for coffee, so maybe I'll come back for coffee another time.
Lappert's Hawaii at Hilton village. You'll get treated like a tourist, a little over pleasant sweetness. It's nice but it comes acyas fake, because it is. They get paid to treat you overly nice. Personally I'd prefer a resp human interaction over one that's paid for. The baked goods are good. No complaints and no OMG moments. The coffee was good but it's really hard to mess up coffee. The ice cream is just the same as any medium quality ice cream. If you're around Hilton village get some baked goods. Leave the rest. If you want coffee get it some place else.
