Crema's Take
“This beloved Poipu institution scoops exceptionally creamy, high-quality ice cream in playful island-inspired flavors like Nēnē Tracks and Pineapple Upside Down Cake that keep locals and visitors coming back for second rounds. The friendly staff encourages taste-testing before you commit, and the relaxed vibe makes it perfect for lingering over your cone or grabbing a quick treat when you're exploring the area. Just keep an eye on their hours—locals wish they'd stay more consistent with their online availability.”

I should have taken more photos but the ice cream is so good that I could not wait for a photo. Started with a 5 flavor sampler, then turned right back around and got another scoop because it was that good! Yes to the pineapple cake and nene tracks!
If you are going to close early it is no longer acceptable to just stick a note on your door! It is so easy to mark hours in google to inform your guests before they make the drive over. Drove over tonight and got there at 8:10 to find a note saying closing at 8 due to short staff. Nice to see three employees inside! Went to the Gelato place and there was one employee going strong. Short staff is understandable but at least do your customers a solid by updating your hours to temporarily closing early!
I got Nēnē tracks and loved it! Lapperts ice cream is high quality and deliciously smooth: worth every dollar. I loved the variety of flavors, both classic and unique. If I lived in the area, I would go much more often! The location itself is perfect and not too busy.
Pineapple cake and caramel coconut macadamia nut ice creams were delicious! Staff was friendly and let us try several flavors before deciding.
Plenty of unique island flavors to choose from. Favorites were the Pineapple Upside down cake, Toffe Crunch, and Ne Ne Tracks. We arrived around 4 pm on a Friday and there was no wait. On various other days we skipped stopping by because the wait was out the door and not moving. This was anytime after 5 pm weekdays or weekends. Seating outside is more than what’s available inside. Overall, the flavors are great and service was quick and nice.
