If you're in Waikiki on vacation, it's worth the cab ride out to Bubbies. You don't want to miss the Mochi. Delicious. Our cab driver had a little trouble finding it, but just look for the line out the door. It's a must-do on Honolulu!

The long line up was mostly college kids, but don't let that deter you. The menu was a great read while waiting in line. I had macadamia nut ice cream and my husband had a chocolate shake. Both were delicious and very good quality! Cash only.

Discovered this little gem based on a recommendation I overheard from a local. It's a little hard to find as its hidden behind/between some buildings, but well worth the time! I've tried mochi ice cream before, but these are the best I've had so far. I got the chocolate mint, lychee & strawberry to-go. It was hard not to eat... More

The mochi ice cream is the best in Hawaii. We go here at least once a week and it never disappoints. You have to wait in a long line but it's worth it.

This has become a must go for every trip to Hawaii. We found out about it 3 times ago from our friends at the University of Hawaii. This is close to campus and during the school year attracts a lot of students. There is almost always a line, but the ice cream is worth it. The only gripe is that... More

This is my third trip to this joint and I go for the mochi which is the best.....long line up but worth it, but really, the same man works there, I am not sure if he is the owner but he is just so not happy with his job, never smiles or greets you, just does the job, very slowly... More

Homemade Mochi Ice Cream, nothing more to say! Go there and you will not be disappointed. They have multiple flavors of Mochi Ice Cream, try them all because you never know which one you'll really like!

No wonder all the students line up here! I had never had Mochi before and it's amazing! There was something special for each of us and we made repeat trips until departure. You can take home cute little boxes of variety,,,better than a box of chocolates. We are officially Mochi addicts thanks to our local Ohana!

According to my mochi loving daughter and wife, Bubbies is the best! We bought 2 boxes with beautifully coloured and delicious mochies for take away. My daughter's favourite was the pink one with strawberry tasty.
