Scoop Of Paradise

Drove by and saw the ice cream sign and of course had to stop in
They have another location in Haleiwa, but they make all the ice cream on site at this location.
Had the chocolate and macadamia nut and coconut and macadamia nut. Super creamy ice cream and you can taste all the ingredients.
My husband had an afogato (espresso and grandmas cookies ice cream) and it was delish!
Overall a must stop when in north shore.
They also sell a variety of toys and other novelties :)

Nom nom!
^I think all you have to read is homemade ice cream and you should be sold but in case you’re not, read my above sentence. The ice cream is amazing with lots of awesome flavors! Downside? Price. Like most things here, it’s way overpriced and service can be hit or miss, but the Ice cream is always on point!

Place was great. Really nice atmosphere! The prices are a little high but only because the quality of the ice cream is really good. Would go there again.

Mehhh… I’ve lived in Haleiwa for a little over two years and my ex-​fiancé and I used to come here for ice cream all the time, but it wasn’t anything special. The coffee flavor is not very coffee tasting at all but I appreciate the little espresso grinds.
One of the reasons I like this place is that they have all kind of goodies and merch for the kids (like me!) and I love stuffed animals and cute things. I always have to resist buying non-​dessert stuff from them.
The reason I’m giving only three stars however is because I’ve always been dissatisfied with the service. Now, everywhere I go I’m always über friendly and I smile and I make jokes but when someone is just standing there with the most blah face on, reacting like he’s sick of working there and completely not even humoring my kindness, I just can’t. There is no congeniality whatsoever and for me, that’s a really big thing.

I found this place via Unilocal!
and what a great find! Great customer service, lots of sitting area.
This lil shop was pretty cool! I loved all the décor and the feels you get being inside! Loved the big table with unique chairs.
I got the Vanilla Mac Nut, and the other 2 got cookies and cream. The ice cream was really good. They also had the Lilikoi Cheesecake, which I tried. It was super yummy but the seeds inside i wasn’t feeling on. I read the Kona Coffee was really tasty, and I will def try it next time.
They had lots of Melissa & Doug toys and such for sale and they are all extra 20% off (ends next week-​i think).

This place is amazing! I am so glad I discovered it!
I found it when I was driving my son for a competition at the Waialua High School. I would probably never found this awesome place otherwise.
The restaurant has a very nice and inviting interior. The girl behind the counter is very nice and very pretty. Yeah, I know that that should not make any difference, but the ice cream tends to taste better if it is scooped by a pretty girl.
This store has a very nice selection of ice cream flavors. Açai flavor was very interesting, this is first time in my life that I have ever seen and tasted Açai ice cream. My favorite was the Kona Coffee ice cream. It was da bomb! They use real coffee beans to make ice cream, unlike Cold Stone which uses cheap instant coffee. I loved the taste of real coffee grounds in my ice cream. I had to come back for seconds.
The owner’s name is George, and he is originally from Philly. It was evident that he has passion for making ice cream. He was super nice and he actually talked to me, and told me a little about himself. I figured being an owner he wouldn’t even have time for a guy with two kids who came five minutes before closing time, but this guy obviously really cares about his customers.
What is really cool about this place is that you can peek through the glass doors into the production area and if you are lucky you can actually see ice cream being made! I’ve never seen ice cream actually being made, so this was a treat for me.
Overall, great place with great homemade ice cream, and my only complaint is why he hasn’t opened another store in Pearl City, where I live. Unfortunately, George has enough work with the two ice cream stores he owns, and he has no intention of opening an ice cream store in Pearl City. Too bad. I guess I am stuck taking my kids to the over-​priced Cold Stone in Pearl Ridge Mall or Dave’s Ice Cream.

This place is AWESOME! Very cute and CLEAN!!! They have a lot of different flavors I didn’t know what to pick. I ended up picking two flavors Chocolate Macadamia Nut & Smore’s!!! DELICIOUS!!! And it is more like 4 scoops than two… I would say it has a reasonable price. Almost $ 8 bucks but consider that it is handmade!!! Definitely worth it!!! I would go again!

ice cream was delicious! Many unique flavors. Our son, who has Aspergers, a form of autism, asked for and got his one special kind of bananna split! Then he asked if a cowry shell they had on display was for sale. The hostess, Patty, said it wasn’t, but since he asked so nicely, he could have it. Yeah! Both Patty and Scoop of Paradise are awesome! Highly recommend you stop in if you’re on the North Shore!!!

This is my third ice cream stop on this side of the island and I was thoroughly impressed with their ice cream. I had the Coconut Mac Nut, which was super rich and creamy. I loved it! The staff was friendly, ambience relaxing and the place was air conditioned! If I were a local, I’d be a regular here.

This place is hidden. If you drive by and aren’t paying attention, you’ll pass it up. If you’re adventurous and will try ice cream that isn’t your usual flavors, stop here it’s worth the drive and price. The employees were nice as well.

Scoop of Paradise is located next to Paalaa Bakery Kai on Kaukonahua Rd. The store is easy to find and parking was available.
The store itself is so cute and the owner is so friendly. I ordered two scoops of ice cream one was grandmas and the other chocolate macadamia nut. I also had an ice cold root beer with it.
Two scoops will be about $ 7 or so. Check the times for Sunday because they differ from the normal hours.

You won’t find ice cream like this in too many places!
Totally homemade (waffle cones too), and a really fair price for the quality.
The servers are always friendly & there are so many unique flavors to choose from — serving sizes are huge btw. One scoop is plenty, and if you can’t decide on just one flavor, hopefully you have someone to share with you!
Lots of cute local knick knacks for purchase as well.

Definitely such a cute hole in the wall ice cream parlor! It’s located next to Paalaa Kai Bakery (on the right side). The parlor itself was so cute and I loved the inside. It definitely had a laid back feel to it with a wall full of toys and beautiful artwork.
The ice cream itself is delicious! We ended up getting a lilikoi cheesecake and all I can say is that it was so yummy. I usually don’t like tart tasting ice cream, but it was so smooth on my tongue.
A great place to stop by for dessert. :)

It was a hot afternoon and was just driving by when I saw a sign for a grand opening with ICE CREAM!!! So I made the quick decision to treat myself to a double scoop and made an uturn. Very friendly folks. Very Tasty Ice Cream!
Definitely a perfect midday treat.

When you head to Waialua what comes to mind? Paalaa Kai Bakery right? Well if you do come out to Waialua, realize that there are no snow puffies, don’t be sad! Head over to Scoop of Paradise!
Once again, Unilocal has pointed me in the right direction. I was bummed to see that my 3^rd attempt at buying a snow puffy failed. Since I was still craving something sweet after lunch, I found Scoop of Paradise. It’s tucked away in the building next to the bakery. When you enter the building, head to the left down the stairs and follow the pink ice cream cones. :) Once inside you are greeted with bright colors and education items. The ice cream flavors aren’t your usual vanilla and chocolate. I decided to try the Lilikoi Cheesecake. The lilikoi seeds added a nice crunch to the creaminess of the ice cream and cheesecake pieces. Yes it is $ 4+ for one scoop of ice cream. Don’t despair! It’s actually more like 2 scoops that you get for that price so I think it’s a good deal.
Service was quick and nice and there is a bunch of seating available inside and outside of the store. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their local flavors :)

Riight next door to Paalakai Bakery. We stopped by after getting a box of some snow puffies. We got a cookies and cream milkshake for our kids and a a scoop of kona coffee ice cream w/​a waffle cone for us. Not much to say about the milkshake since all milkshakes taste pretty much the same. It did however have a creamier taste unlike what you get from a fast food joint. The kona coffee ice cream was delish!!! The coffee bits was not overpowering in fact it tasted just right. Hoping to try their other flavors.

Cutest hole in the wall ice cream shop in Waialua!
We wouldn’t have found it if it weren’t for a friend who recommended we come here.
Follow the ice cream trail to the entrance of the shop where the cool AC will greet you. Their frozen selection is in a traditional ice cream case and their menu is simple. I had the Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream turned into a milkshake and my friend got a scoop of their Mint Chip Ice Cream. Total was $ 11– a bit pricey for some frozen cream, but it was pretty worth it.
Shop has indoor seating and tables, so it’s a nice place to catch up or regroup after a day at the beach. The location is far enough away from the hustle of Haleiwa town to get away from bouts of tourists.

Homemade ice cream. They also have sandwiches, veggie burgers and soup. Not your typical ice cream shop.
Owner Patti is super cool. There new location is a hole in the hole but a real cool place to hangout — they are also kid friendly with movies being played in the store, different merchandise and cool sitting area
They have a mint cookies and cream ice cream that is super awesome. Also their stuffed focaccia is also good too

HOMEMADE ICE CREAM! OPEN DAILY 9a-​6pm right next to Pa’ala’a Kai Bakery.
The sequel to their first store (in Haleiwa) popped up right next to snow puffie heaven which makes this is the ultimate trilogy pit stop. With one parking spot you can get: Fried chicken and musubis (from the Pa’ala’a Kai mimi-​mart), snow puffies and brownies (from the Pa’ala’a Kai Bakery) and HOMEMADE UNIQUE ICE CREAM from Scoop of Paradise.
Similar to their Haleiwa location, they have a cute kids corner with novelty items for young children (books, toys, etc.). In this new location, they serve deli/​café foods for breakfast and lunch (sandwiches, etc.) too. And then there’s the ICE CREAM. Thank you Jacob for the 411 on this place.
If you know my son, you know we only went here for the ice cream. It was rich and creamy and just like the Haleiwa location. I don’t think tourists go on this road much so it wasn’t crowded at all when we went. Next time you stop to get chicken or snow puffies, stop by next door for some ice cream too!
Their prices are not cheap, but then again that’s the price you pay for a scoop of paradise.

The first time I had ice cream from Scoop of Paradise was several years ago, and that was from their original shop in Haleiwa Shopping Plaza. I always like to try to make a stop by here for some delicious homemade ice cream. You can imagine how pleasantly surprised I was when I noticed that there was a big Scoop of Paradise sign on the building next to Pa’ala’a Kai Bakery.
OH YEAH!
+ Delicious homemade ice cream
+ Unique local flavors
+ Friendly, helpful staff
+ There’s a bathroom!
+ Next to Pa’ala’a Kai Bakery
+ ICE CREAM!!!
OH NO!
— They’re so far from where I live
— No waffle cone?!
OH MY?!
* The other business on the ground floor of this building is a tattoo parlor. Ice cream and tattoos anyone?
On my most recent trip out to the North Shore area with some friends we decided to make a first stop at Pa’ala’a Kai for some fried chicken from the Mini-​Mart, and Snow Puffies from the Bakery. Since their parking lot was full we parked across the street, and noticed that there was a Scoop of Paradise sign on the building next to the bakery. We were excited to see this because as far as we knew there was only one Scoop of Paradise shop, and that’s in Haleiwa Shopping Plaza. After we got our fill of chicken and puffies we walked over to check it out.
Apparently it’s the very same Scoop of Paradise that is in Haleiwa, but this is their brand new (less than two weeks) second location! They serve the same great thick, creamy, homemade ice cream as their first location, but this one is more conveniently located if you’re already over there for Pa’ala’a Kai.
The flavors I settled on for this visit were a Mint Chocolate Cookie (think mint Oreo’s) and Grandma’s Chocolate Chip Cookie. Very delicious stuff! The very nice lady that was helping me was very friendly and was telling me about all the flavors, and how they had opened just nine days prior to my visit. I mentioned having a bathroom as a plus. Yes, you read that right. Their bathroom is a shared one in the building and you need a key for it, but hey, ice cream shops don’t usually come equipped with restroom facilities. You never know when you gotta go, or even just wash your hands after getting melted ice cream on them. Just saying.
The thing I was missing when I was ordering, though was a waffle cone. They had the standard sugar cone, and the other standard small cone, but I like my waffle cones. They taste better, and they’re usually a lot bigger! Needless to say, I was a little disappointed in that. Hopefully they’ll get some waffle cones in there. My other minor complaint is that they’re so far away from town! I guess that may actually be a good thing since if they were in town, I would end up going there way more often than I should… I guess for now it makes those trips out to the North Shore that much more special.
So, who’s down to have a road trip to North Shore to get some chicken and puffies, and then a big ol’ bowl of ice cream… And then maybe a tattoo right next door to commemorate the experience?
