Lappert's Hawaiʻi

A tried and true Maui favorite since 1983, Lappert's, is as delicious as it is memorable. The first flavors Lappert's tried and tested were macadamia nut and vanilla, which they've surely perfected over their 30+ years of service. 

But that's not where they stop. Their mouth-watering bakery goodies are becoming as popular as their signature coffees and super-premium ice cream. All of their products are made fresh daily in small batches right in Hanapepe, Kauai. They continue to use only the finest ingredients in our ice cream, coffee, or bakery goodies.

"The concept of ohana (family) is integral to our success, but the spirit of Aloha is our keystone. It's a way of living that springs from the heart — and it's the experience we look forward to sharing with you."
