IL Gelato Cafe Kahala, Honolulu HI

Il Gelato - BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!
Not being the biggest ice cream eater, I fell in love with what I used to call ice cream and what they cal “Gelato” at “Il Gelato Hawaii” on Oahu. I first tried it when strolling the little shopping complex in Haleiwa and have to say: all you guys who are still on shaved ice and other ice-cream brands, give it a shot and you will not regret it! Try “Il Gelato Hawaii” They have outlets in Haleiwa, the Kahala Mall and in Pearl Harbour.
It’s of course a matter of taste, but their “Affogato” and the “Tiramisu” gelato are to die for, and not to forget, their cappuccino (they use Illy Cafe) are THE BEST anywhere on Oahu. And last but not least their friendly staff made Il Gelato Hawaii an unforgettable experience for us.

Il Gelato is a must when you go to Kahala Mall! Workers are always super friendly! I get my usual a large mocha frappe and two scoops of gelato. I usually order Hawaiian Sea salt caramel and dark chocolate and ask for two oreo cookie toppings. Workers are always consistent and are super quick to get my order in and overall they have great customer service! Definitely recommend.

The gelato is so exquisite it's my ultimate favorite out of anywhere on this island. The flavors are so unique and the sorbet is so light and airy. The service is hands on with smiles on their face:)

Every time​ I come here, there's something new and fun! I absolutely love the flavors, definitely​ worth trying each one when you get the chance. My personal favorite is the frosted flakes! It really tastes just like milk and cereal! Whenever it's not on display, I go straight for the sea salt caramel or cookies & cream. For this month, the seasonal pumpkin spice is at the top of my list. Gelato is also healthier and contains less fat compared to regular ice cream, a win-win situation if you ask me! The flavors are simply indescribable, just something you would have to experience for yourself!

Super delicious and healthy grinds!
Coffee is stout
Staff is both professional and friendly
I'm coming back again!

Very good desserts for decent prices inside Kahala mall. Service is good and friendly. You can try samples to see if you like it and they are all hand made. Good location and the mall has lots of parking nearby.

This place made me break my diet and I loved every bite of it. The ice cream is homemade and delicious. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. You can save money by ordering a regular cup of ice cream instead of the advertised special.

Nice setting, but service is uneven and the last time I ordered a scone, it was raw-doughy inside.but, still - the gelato is great!

I come here alot it, they alway have the best gelato i love the workers. And the bacon waffles is the best with two eggs

Great selection of gelato (not number but quality). Makes a perfect after dinner spot to check out as you make your way back to the car. Stays open later than most shops in the mall. Haven't had a chance to try the breakfast plates but they look appetizing. Takes both cash and card.

The creme was hand made. Real flavours and we been there several times and the icream was consistently great.

The staff here is absolutely amazing! Fast, friendly, and always on it. The basilico Panini is just straight addictive too! However, i'd have to say my favourite thing about il gelato is the "siesta" vibe, counter seating let's me just sit down and enjoy my Panini and Gelato without the hassle of looking for a table.

This gelato is the best I have ever tasted! It is so delectable and delicious! Its very exciting to see what each month has to offer as the flavor of the months. There is a Chocolate Truffle gelato right now that is so rich, chocolatey and amazing! I would highly reccommend giving this flavor a try in a waffle cone or bowl (homemade also of course). You've got to try it! You won't be disappointed.:)

Much better customer service than Haleiwa! Girls at Haleiwa are very messy looking and have unprofessional attitudes! Plus wait time is longer there. Kahala is wonderful.no complaints!

Italian soda is made with syrup and came of Seltzer's water. Gelato is pretty good - I'd stick to the fruity flavors as opposed to the sweeter ones. Salad and panini were both mediocre. Service was awesome though.

I remember taking my 7 year old son for a Gelato treat and than we moved to mainland. Today we had Gelato at Kahala mall and it was as good as we remembered. My son is now 27!

This is the best gelato on this side of the island. It's creamy and delicious, and the flavors are wonderful. My fav is the chocolate - hazelnut. Yum. Better than Via Gelato in Kaimuki.

Great service and the crepes and panini are some of the best I've had in Oahu, will have to return to try their gelato.

Service is wonderful! I went to the kiosk with my husband and I tried a new flavor. I normally stick to vanilla, but the nice employee had me sample other flavors to expand my horizon. Frosted flakes flavor was amazing. Tasted just like the cereal! I can't wait to go back and taste the new flavors that are coming out soon.

Kiosk is located near the main fountain. I love grabbing a coffee before work or a scoop of gelato after the movies! I recently visited the kiosk, and they mentioned that they are coming out with some new flavors! Workers there are always kind. Be sure to ask for a stamp card. After 10 stamps from gelato or coffee, you can get a free scoop or coffee!
