Overview
Kith Treats Hawaii is a cereal-and-ice-cream dessert counter in Waikīkī, inside Kith Hawaii at 2301 Kalākaua Ave. It is operational, and the official Kith site identifies it as Kith’s Hawaii flagship Treats location. (kith.com)
For travelers, this is less a full dessert shop with a broad pastry case and more a branded, made-to-order sweets stop: cereal swirls, milkshakes, waffle-cone and Belgian-waffle formats, plus Hawaii-specific mix-ins that lean into local flavors. It can be a fun, highly specific Waikīkī treat stop, especially if you want something playful and photo-friendly rather than a classic scoop shop. (kith.com)
Cuisine & Specialties
The menu is built around ice cream swirls and milkshakes that you customize with cereals and mix-ins, along with a set of signature specials named after Kith collaborators and cultural figures. In Hawaii, the location also offers local-leaning mix-ins such as ube, acai, li hing mui, Kona coffee, condensed milk, POG juice, matcha, macadamia nuts, and dragonfruit. (kith.com)
- Overall menu style: cereal-infused dessert counter; choose a base format, then add cereal and mix-ins, or order a named special. (kith.com)
- Notable items and specialties: The Bam Bam, The Witness, The Fiegster, The Flat White, The Trail Mix, The 80, The Baby A, The King’s Treat, and the Hawaii-exclusive mix-ins. The site also lists Creamsicles and build-your-own swirls, waffle cones, Belgian waffles, and milkshakes. (kith.com)
- Price range / spend expectations: the official menu shows swirls starting at $8.50, milkshakes at $9, and signature specials generally running roughly $8.50–$13.50 depending on format. Expect dessert-shop pricing that is not cheap, especially for a tourist-area stop. (kith.com)
- Dietary usefulness / limitations: there is a non-dairy vanilla and non-dairy chocolate option, plus an explicitly labeled vegan special, The Trail Mix (v). The menu also warns that products may contain common allergens including dairy, nuts, eggs, wheat/gluten, gelatin, bananas, and sesame, so it is not a simple allergy-friendly stop. (kith.com)
Notable Features & Ambiance
This is a walk-up dessert counter embedded in a larger Kith retail environment, not a sit-down restaurant. The official Kith Hawaii description says the space uses a design mixing New York and Hawaiian cues, with hundreds of live plants and marble accents, and that the Treats bar uses bianco mist tiles, stainless steel fixtures, and carved marble seating. (eu.kith.com)
- Service model and seating style: counter service; walk-up ordering at the Treats counter. The store page also mentions Treats Rewards via QR scan. (kith.com)
- Atmosphere and decor: polished, branded, and more design-forward than a typical ice cream shop; the official site emphasizes live plants, marble, and a tailored cereal-bar aesthetic. (eu.kith.com)
- Practical features: it is in Waikīkī at Royal Hawaiian Center/2301 Kalākaua Ave, making it easy to pair with shopping or an evening stroll. (kith.com)
- Best fit: a casual dessert stop, especially for visitors who want something playful, modern, and distinctively “Kith.” (kith.com)
- Weaker fit: travelers looking for a quiet sit-down dessert café, a deeply local independent shop, or the best value for money may be less satisfied. (tripadvisor.com)
History & Background
Kith says the Hawaii flagship opened in August 2021, and the Hawaii Treats counter is part of that broader flagship store. The brand frames the location as a blend of Kith’s New York identity with Hawaiian influences, and it has also used the Hawaii location for locale-specific collaborations and menu items, including a heritage partnership with Liliha Bakery.

Review Sentiment Snapshot
What People Love
Reviewers repeatedly mention that the desserts are fun, creative, and satisfying when the mix-ins land well. Positive comments also highlight friendly service and a memorable “worth a repeat visit” feel, especially for visitors staying in Waikīkī. The sample review base is small, but the positive pattern is consistent enough to matter. (tripadvisor.com)
Common Gripes
The main complaint is value: one Tripadvisor reviewer called a treat “super bland” and felt it was overpriced for what seemed like mostly vanilla ice cream, while another praised the service but still implied the product can feel basic for the price. This downside appears lightly to moderately supported rather than universal, but it is the clearest recurring caution in the available review set. (tripadvisor.com)
Practical Visitor Tips
- Official hours on the Kith Treats Hawaii page are Monday–Saturday 11 AM–9 PM and Sunday 11 AM–7 PM; a Kith Europe page for Kith Hawaii shows a different general-store schedule of 10 AM–9 PM daily, so the Treats-page hours are the better fit for this specific counter. (kith.com)
- This is a walk-up counter, so do not expect reservations. (kith.com)
- If you want the most distinctive order, try one of the Hawaii-exclusive mix-ins or a special that uses them. (kith.com)
- If value matters a lot, review sentiment suggests comparing the price to the simpler, flavor-forward experience you actually want; some visitors love it, but others feel the base product does not justify the cost. (tripadvisor.com)
- The location sits in a busy Waikīkī retail corridor, so it is convenient but likely subject to tourist-area foot traffic. That is an inference from the address and setting, not a formal official claim. (kith.com)
Verification Notes
- Official name used by the Treats page: Kith Treats Hawaii. The broader location page is Kith Hawaii, with the Treats counter inside it. (kith.com)
- Address is consistently 2301 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815 across official Kith pages; Google Places adds the full postal format and place ID anchor. (kith.com)
- Phone differs by one digit between sources: Google Places and the Treats page list (808) 867-3121 / 808-867-3121, while the Kith Europe location page shows 808-867-3120. This should be treated as a likely stale or cross-listing error rather than a confirmed alternate number. (kith.com)
- Operational status is currently live on Google Places and Kith’s site. (kith.com)
- No major verification issues found beyond the phone-number drift and the Treats-hours vs. broader-store-hours difference. (kith.com)
