Magnolia Ice Cream

Magnolia was a great after-dinner place for us to enjoy some ice cream (cone or cup). The employees were cheerful and helpful, and they offered us small spoons to sample before ordering. Inside has some seating. But just steps outside the door, there are comfortable large wooden chairs with arm rests (not part of Magnolia) from which to enjoy your ice cream and watch the world go by.

Magnolia Ice Cream is an absolute tropical delight, deserving of every one of its five stars! This ice cream shop is a treasure trove of exotic flavors that transport your taste buds to paradise. The range of tropical flavors, including coconut, queso cheese (a flavor you must try to appreciate fully), and the iconic Filipino ice cream dessert, halo-halo, is simply outstanding. The moment you step into Magnolia Ice Cream, you're greeted with the inviting aroma of these unique flavors, setting the stage for a memorable culinary adventure. The coconut ice cream is like a scoop of pure island bliss. Its creamy richness and natural sweetness make it a perfect representation of the tropical paradise it hails from. Now, let's talk about queso cheese. Don't let the unconventional pairing fool you; it's a flavor revelation that you won't want to miss. The sweet and savory combination is a true masterpiece that showcases the creativity of Magnolia Ice Cream. And then there's halo-halo, the ultimate Filipino ice cream dessert. It's a delightful medley of flavors and textures, with a generous scoop of Magnolia ice cream on top. Every spoonful is a delightful surprise, and it's a must-try for anyone seeking a taste of the Philippines. What truly sets Magnolia Ice Cream apart is its dedication to preserving and sharing the flavors of the tropics. It's a culinary journey that invites you to explore new horizons while savoring the familiar comforts of home. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or simply seeking a sweet escape, Magnolia Ice Cream is a destination that leaves an indelible mark on your palate. It's a place where you can savor the essence of the tropics, one scoop at a time. Five stars are just the beginning of the praise it deserves!

As soon as I walked in I saw a line that lasted for about 5 minutes, so it wasn't too bad. The staff is EXTREMELY FREINDLY! I ordered one scoop of Coconut and one scoop of Guava. (The only reason I did not get their original and delicious Ube was because I wanted to try something new.) TIP: If you are friendly and try to start a conversation with them they will give you extra ice cream!!!🤫🫠😉 Despite the line, I got my order within 5 minutes and was very impressed. There are usually many seats open, and they are pretty clean. THERE IS NO REASON YOU SHOULD NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE ARE IN HONOLULU!
