Papalani Gelato Poipu Shopping Village

Enjoyed a few gelatos here over the course of the past week. The flavors are very tasty and diverse from Oreo to Mac nut varieties. Salt Pond was a favorite. Atmosphere wasn’t much as there’s no in-store tables or seating and only one family is allowed in the store at a time. Customers wait on a line outside the store. Also, once you have your order you have to take outside to enjoy it. Service was limited by one employee taking, then making and closing all the orders. The employee was very efficient, but as you can imagine as more people lineup, the wait times get longer. Just be aware of this ahead of time. If you see a line, it might take a little while to move. We had two families ahead of us, and the wait was about 10 minutes.

Our favorite stop in Kauai! Been coming here for three years, the flavors are fantastic, and constantly changing. Made from local ingredients, fruits, and nuts. Pleasant staff. Highly recommend, even if they are busy, worth the wait.

Disappointing. Gelato was soft and watery and definitely not worth $6.27 for a tiny scoop of mush.

The ice cream here is absolutely overpriced and whether it tastes good at all is more or less a matter of luck. If I'm going to pay $7.5 for ice cream, I expect it to at least taste great
