Henry’s Place

Dont miss this hidden gem! Wonderful, fresh, fruity sorbets served out of a case in styrofoam cups. You cant beat it! (Dec 2015 visit)

Henry’s Place was one of the best hole-​in-​the-​walls that we had the pleasure of visiting during our latest trip. It’s a very easy place to miss (and is just after the little food truck park), so keep an eye peeled for it!
THE HIGHLIGHTS.
+ Freshly made ice cream and sorbets in a variety of tropical flavors (Passion Orange Guava rocked my world!)
+ $ 5 per each 16 oz styrofoam cup of solid ice cream (I’d say get one to share, but it’s best to try more flavors, so treat yo’self)
+ One of the best and simple desserts we had during our treat
I absolutely love legit places like this, a little off the beaten path (although still in the downtown area). Make a point of checking this place out!

This is a literal hole in the wall location with the best homemade ice cream ever!
If you are ever walking down beachwalk and see this little store, do yourself a favor and grab some mango ice cream and thank me later :)

Tiny little place, one freezer of ice cream in styrofoam cups and some odds and ends like bananas. I was frankly a little skeptical. But you know what, everything was really good, especially if you like fruit flavors, especially sherbets.
We got one cup per person and ended up saving about half of it for that evening. Luckily we had a freezer back at the hotel!

Great ice creams and fruits. Everything so fresh.
Make sure you don’t leave the door open too long, or they’re gonna tell u to close it!

Henry’s!!! Hope this gem stays the same and keeps their homemade ice cream game strong.

Our best hole in the wall discovery in Oahu. While walking randomly towards the food truck arena we stumbled upon this small cute shop selling ice cream and sorbet.
At first glance it did not much appealing but as they say don’t judge a book by it’s cover. The ice cream here is an atom bomb full of deliciousness. We got the mango flavor, that’s probably the best fresh mango tasting ice cream I have ever had. It felt like eating fresh mangoes, not like local grocery artificial flavored ice creams.
I think we paid 5.25 for a cup and both of us shared. The quantity was very good.
Grab an ice cream of sorbet and take it to the beach to enjoy it!

This store really good place at waikiki.
perfect & wonderful sorbet!!!
and price also reasonable!
Big portions!

Ice cream in a styrofoam cup? A must try! We got the Mango Cream and at first we thought it was so much, we’d have to throw it away, but after the first bites, the second, the third, the cup wasn’t enough!
It soo deliciously smooth and creamy! Just right sweetness and super fresh fruity!

Don’t be fooled by the way it looks– probably one of the best ice creams I had in a while. Made from scratch each ice cream tastes the way you would imagine. My personal favorites are mango and lychee.
They only accept cash and there usually is a line outside. Gotta love hole in wall eats!

$ 5.25 (cash only) will get you a styrofoam cup of ice cream or sorbet made from fresh fruit and all natural ingredients. I opted for pineapple mango (I really wanted pineapple coconut, but they had sold out), and it was refreshingly creamy and smooth. A cup is just right for two people to share, and if you arrive early enough, you’ll have your pick from a plethora of flavors including coconut, Kona coffee, avocado, passion orange, guava. the list goes on and on. The one thing I did learn from other Unilocalers is to inspect the cooler carefully, and to not open the door until you are absolutely certain which flavor you’d like to select. No one likes to be yelled at while grabbing ice cream!
P. S. What does «RL,» written on each cup, stand for? Realicious oishilicious!
P. P. S. Did anyone else notice a trail of itty bitty white insects on the glass counter? I made sure to keep my cup of ice cream in hand the whole time :/

What a great find. It does not look like much from the outside, just a shack you would buy liquor from in some backwater country town. The line can also be a bit daunting with Japanese tourists with no idea what’s going on around them, but then again your in Waikiki beach…
There is some seating despite the small shack just outside for you to destroy your choice of dessert.
Price is good for what you get, $ 5 for a Styrofoam cup of ice cream that is absolutely delicious. One wad enough for two to share, but the halo halo ice cream was so amazing I wish we had bought two. They have fruit in small bowls as well which was a good amount for the price, and definitely fresh. Honestly I can’t wait to try another flavor of the ice cream. Parking can be scarce but the malls are close as well add hard rock.
If you want food there are three or four bomb looking food trucks right next door.

For $ 5 dollars:
— Tasty cold ice cream or sorbet in a Styrofoam cup.
— No waiting in long line.
— Refreshing fruit cups.
— Good people watching.
Beware, closed the fridge or else you’ll get the death glared along with some scolding. Trust!
I hope you give this ice cream place a try. Cheers!

I don’t know how to express how much I love this place… In the past 2 days I have come into this store 5 times. The texture found in their ice creams is so unique almost like in between an ice cream and shave ice. When you first try it, it’s a little weird because it’s almost gritty… But after having a couple more licks it’s amaze balls!!! Henry’s has so many different types of flavors to choose from like halo halo and ube so I’m always looking at the fridge for a couple minutes. So far I have tried the pineapple coconut, guava, mango, and pineapple. Pineapple coconut was by far my favorite I had to get it twice :). The place may look like a run down liquor store… But don’t let that stop you from coming in to get some bomb ice cream!

My family and I stumbled upon this place because it was right in front of our hotel. There was always a line out of the door. It looked like a hole in the wall (the first clue of its potential tastiness).
It was strange to find ice cream in styrofoam cups with the flavors handwritten on them, but I had to see what the hoopla was all about. I got the lychee sorbet on one night and the pineapple orange guava on another night. Both nights I also ordered a fresh bowl of cut pineapple.
The lychee sorbet was very good. You could totally taste the fresh fruit. If I hadn’t already tried a better lychee sorbet a few days before, I would have given this place 5 stars. The pineapple one made me realize that I don’t like guava. lol It was nicely blended, but the guava aftertaste threw me off.
My absolute favorite part was the fruit available. As an after dinner snack/​dessert, I was able to find fresh fruit easily. They sure know how to pick a pineapple. It was so nice to have that option over the more fattening ones.

Plenty of tropical fruit flavors to choose from as a sorbet or ice cream. The mango was good. It was rich and was flavorful. It definitely had an icier texture though and wasn’t very creamy. The vanilla was the same. Depending on your preference, you may be be indifferent.
The place is quaint and is probably more of a novelty due to its small size, hole in the wall location and «historical» appearance. The ice cream is okay. It’s not bad but there are definitely other places serving fresh ice cream with more flavors and better taste. Be sure to keep the refrigerator door closed or risk being scolded by the folks behind counter. CASH ONLY for a styrofoam cupful is $ 5.

Cute shop.
No frills. It was walking distance from our hotel. They offer plenty of snacks, ready made sandwiches, homemade ice cream/​sorbets, and fresh fruit bowls. Prices are reasonable for the quality Henry’s Place provides. The employee (owner?) was direct and quick.
There isn’t a whole lot of seating here, 2 benches in the front of the shop. This is a grab and go kinda place. It’s wonderful since Waikiki Beach is so close by. You can grab your goodies and enjoy them at the beach. Their ice cream and sorbets are excellent. You can taste the fresh fruit in there, it’s creamy, smooth, not overly icy, and not too sweet. The Passion Orange Guava was on point. Perfect way to cool down on a warm day.
Good!

Stumbled upon this place since its next to the food trucks.
Loved the concept of ice cream and sorbet in styrofoam cups with the flavor written with a sharpie.
The mango tasted just like eating the real fruit, «Realicious!»
Simple, easy, delicious ice cream :)

Visit Henry’s at the BEGINNING of your vacation. Buy a couple different flavors and save them in your hotel/​condo freezer. This way you will have a variety of cool and refreshing ice cream throughout your stay.
This place looks like a run down home; a literal HOLE IN THE WALL. Kinda cool how they kept things original and low key. However, there was a «modern» TV showing clips of Hawaiian history and Henry’s role in it. A little entertainment while you grub.
Upon entering, there was a large freezer filled with ice creams and sorbets packaged in a standard size styrofoam cup. Labeled with a sharpie pen!
We asked the attendant for a recommendation, but she was busy chatting it up with her fellow coworkers in the back. She did stop for a second to recommend UBE and to remind us to «close the freezer door.»
**THE ICE CREAM GIST**
–homemade with real fruits and natural ingredients. Not creamy or overly sweet.
–$ 5 for each container and plenty to share for two.
UBE: it was good, but didn’t WOW us. Ube flavors were a bit mild. So, we decided to try another flavor.
MANGO: I’d say this was a WINNER. Stick w/​the tropical flavors in Hawaii, you won’t be disappointed. Mango flavors were bold and delicious.
TID BITS:
1) Cash only
2) Few seats outside; no indoor seating.
3) Fresh tropical fruits and fruit bowls on sale too.
4) Freezer needs to be closed quickly to prevent ice cream from melting! Do it fast, or you will be in big trouble Mr.
Enjoy :)

Hole-​in-​a-​wall store! Don’t get fooled by its appearance. Seriously, I rather receive good quality FRESH fruits than paying top dollars for some fancy decors.
This is your no-​frills neighborhood fruits store. Its their 3^rd/​4^th generation running the store now, serving fresh-​cut fruits salad, homemade ice cream & sorbets and sandwiches.
Highly recommended their fresh-​cut papaya salad ($ 5 each). Sweet ripen papaya that’s ready to eat. It was so sweet and beats all the fancy papaya that served at fancy 5 stars hotel or from supermarket. I don’t know where they get their papaya from but I can say it with confidence that it is the BEST i have had in my life, period.
Their papaya ice cream are good too. Made with real fruit and cream. Taste like blended papaya milk. I have been coming here at least once since my trip and I plan to come back here EVERY time when I am back to town.
Please also try their pineapple salad too. Juicy sweet pineapple that is a must-​try in town!
Cash only, 7am-​10pm daily.
