Milano Freezer

I love this place. I usually go here whenever I need a sweet treat and it’s my go to place because it’s less than a mile away.
They have alot of flavors other places dont like Donatella (hazelnut and chocolate), Armaretto and Blood Orange and they have toppings to go with!

Sorry, maybe I’m not a gelato snob but I found this place to be ok. Husband had the chocolate and I had the cappuccino gelatos. The flavor was not as strong as I had hoped for. The texture was lighter than ice cream and not as creamy on my tongue as a good froyo. So, the good from this is the less guilt of a frozen dessert after dinner at the burger place around the corner.
The girls working here were very nice and pleasant.
Also, I used my ID card here for a discount!

Delicious gelato at an affordable price tag.
I love milano freezer. Their toppings, although not vast, perfectly compliment any gelato that you choose. I love how they are not afraid to experiment with their gelatos (like chili chocolate gelato or li hing mui pineapple gelato). If you’re afraid to commit to a whole container of it, you can always ask for a sample, and the staff is always willing to provide you with a healthy spoonful.
Their frozen yogurts are at a perfect consistency and tartness that rivals many of those self-​serve joints (with the exception of cherry on top). I’m a fan of the original with some fresh berries. Noms to the extreme! They also have a delicious fruit parfait which consists of alternating layers of their delicious pumpkin granola, fro-​yo of your choice, 2 fruit choices, and either a honey or chocolate topping.
They even have a vast selection of to-​go gelatos so the deliciousness can continue at home too. I love their ready-​made mini-​gelato cakes. They’re so creative and tasty.
A hidden gem in this shopping center!

I remember going to Milano Freezer for the first time when it opened. I loved the interior with the cool tables and colorful chairs. The free samples of gelato were a plus as well. :)
I actually introduced my husband to gelato here. He was really hesitant to try it at first, but loved it once he ate the strawberry gelato. We decided to go back to have dessert one night after eating at Kuru Kuru. He got his gelato in a waffle cone and I got a kids cup of li hing pineapple. I didn’t really taste the li hing flavor, but it was tart enough for me.
I used to love getting the yogurt with fruit toppings as well. There are a ton of choices to choose from and you can even purchase pints of gelato or yogurt to go.

It’s been years since I stepped foot into this little yogurt/​gelato place. I ate their gelato once and it was really tasty. When I used to work close by I decided one year it would be great to get a birthday cake for a coworkers birthday. I ordered it ahead of time and they helped me with the process and notified me when it was time to pick up. This is the best ice cream cake I’ve ever eaten. I would def order a cake from there again just hopefully nothing changed within the past few years.

Amazing Gelato!
Best things about this place:
they have dairy free and sugar free gelato
toppings are fresh and plentiful but no crappy toppings (i.e., fruit loops)
their lemon ice and all other ice flavors are incredibly refreshing
they have a stamp card (already redeemed two and have only been coming here for 6 months or so)
ice cream cookie sandwiches!
pints of everything in the freezer to go
friendly and helpful staff (not stingy on samples!)
Only con: it is located in a strip mall in Aiea «that attracts the bare minimum of window shoppers» (translation, seems dark and sketchy after 9 PM) and the freezer is super super loud, so loud it kind of diminishes the eating experience if you don’t take your gelato to go.

Mmmmm. Milano.
You’ve got to love a place that sells a great product for a great price that’s located right across the street from your apartment. They rotate their flavors out pretty frequently and they even sell them pre-​packed in containers that you can take home with you. They sell gelato and also yogurt. They have a small selection of toppings to choose from as well and that’s really the only complaint I have about Milano Freezer. They need a bigger selection. If any of you have been to Cherry on Top in PC, that’s what I’m talking about. Those guys have toppings for any taste and any palette.
The service here has usually been pretty good. There have been some employees with attitude but since I haven’t seen them recently hopefully they have moved on to something else somewhere else.

I’m giving this place 4 stars because of their Green Apple yogurt! I actually love the yogurt they serve here and could care less for the gelato… which is what they are known for.
My absolute favorite is the Green Apple yogurt. If you are more of a tart person than a sweet person then you’ll definitely like the Green Apple yogurt. Other good yogurt flavors are Blueberry and Peach-​Mango. If i had to choose from the gelato section, I would either go for Kona Coffee or Lychee.
They have a cool stamp card where you get a free medium sized yogurt/​gelato with 2 toppings after purchasing 10 yogurt cups!
P. S. Mango flavored yogurt from Yogurtland is the bomb diggity! :)

I follow them on Twitter and read the tweet about Guave froyo! Finally made it out there and there was no guava :(. There was sour apple, watermelon, original, and something else. Had samples of the sour apple and watermelon. And ended up getting a small pineapple gelato that reminded me a lot of Dole Whip.
I don’t think I’d make it a point to come here for froyo. My mom has Menchie’s closer to her house.

Milano Freezer is one of my favorite dessert places! One of my best friends and I visit A LOT and were so happy when they also opened the Manoa location.
Make sure to sample any and all flavors since they rotate all the time. There are so many delicious flavors to choose from in terms of gelato or frozen yogurt, whether you’re looking for the typical flavors or some more unheard of. My favorites for gelato are almond, tiramisu, and caramel. I really like their froyo because it has that tartness that I love about yogurt.
The cakes and ready-​to-​go packs are also great. Its always nice to share some with family and friends :)
Clean, friendly service, variety of flavors and toppings, and great price.

Their frozen yogurt is creamy and light for the most part. I love the toppings. Strawberries were fresh and I definitely loved the granola.

Came here because I wanted some gelato. I came here a few times before, trying both their gelato and frozen yogurt and they’re both pretty good, especially since they’re one of the few gelato shops on this island. Some of the gelato flavors they had on my visit was banana, green tea, watermelon and pistachio just to name a few. I got to try the pistachio and that was pretty good; I got that in a sundae form that consisted of a 4oz scoop topped with caramel, 4 slices of bananas, whipped cream and a cherry on top. It was really good, the gelato was really creamy and thick but the pistachio flavor wasnt too strong. Overall, def a good place to get your gelato fix or even take some home in their prepackaged containers in the fridge.

The coconut gelato here okay but the blueberry cheesecake one is awesome!
Oh also, make sure you tell them its to go if your not eating there. Both the times I’ve been, the girl behind the counter gave me that «look» when I requested a cover (for the container) and bag. Like seriously, the chicks here need to loosen up a little! Loosey goosey at my place if ya nasty there, hun.
3 stars
Milano Freezer in the Westridge shopping center, Aiea

Had a few samples of a good number of flavors as I was pretty much undecided. I initially wanted the Almond flavor, but after tasting it, realized it was much too creamy for my current taste (I normally would have gotten it, but lunch was pretty good and filling).
The Sugar Free Chocolate just looked like fudge, and I eventually opted for the Key Lime pie with some added almonds.
They had a freezer to the side with pre-​made pre-​packed flavors, to which one will realize they offer many different kinds of flavors aside from what they currently have under the scooper area.
Maybe next time I’ll go back and try the Lychee flavor.
One thing to note… their «Kid’s Cup» size, is plenty large enough for an adult. I’d stick to that.

I am a hard person to please, but their gelato makes the grade! I make it a point when I am on the island of Oahu to stop by this place, usually multiple times.
The flavors are really distinct and stay true to what you would expect. My personal favorite has got to be the passion fruit or mango gelato’s.
The frozen yogurts are ok, and what you’d expect anywhere you would go… so I’d pass on that front.
Little on the pricier side, but worth every penny. Get a stamp card and filler up. You can get a free one after about 10 or so cups.

I heart frozen yogurt. I heart Milano Freezer.
I have to admit, I haven’t even tried the gelato. I’ve been meaning to, but every time I get there, I can’t bear to tear myself away from the frozen yogurt! It’s like crack to me — I CRAVE the frozen yogurt here.
The frozen yogurt here has an amazing texture, consistency, and flavor. The flavor is so rich and intense, yet the yogurt is so smooth — it’s absolutely fantastic. This place is a million times better than yogurtland. And I know that pinkberry hasn’t hit the island yet, but I would choose milano freezer in a heartbeat over pinkberry. While the toppings may be slightly fresher at pinkberry, there is no comparison for the frozen yogurt. There, I said it. Milano freezer is better than pinkberry.
This place is a cute, trendy little spot — it’s bright, clean, and colorful inside. The prices may be slightly higher than what other places charge, but it is sooo worth it. AND they have stamp cards! (buy 10, get 1 free). The people here are so nice that one time I forgot my stamp card, but they offered to stamp my receipt so that I could add it to my stamp card in the future. Seriously, how can you not love this place?
AND they recently added mochi as a topping!
I love love this place!

Gelato and Yogurt. Probably my new favorite yogurt place because it has what I want (sweet gelato) and what my gf wants (plain yogurt). Only down side is you cant self-​serve your fat behind like you can at yogurt land.
Hooray for the stamp card!

After trying Yogurtland and getting tired of it after about 5 visits, I discovered Milano Freezer when I saw a tiny ad in some newspaper I can’t ever remember. Luckily I was in the Pearlridge area and had time to kill and decided to search out Milano Freezer.
Wow, what a great decision it turned out to be! The store is very convenient in the Westridge Mall. It is cute and clean (The opposite of Yogurtland… that place gets FILTHY!)
They don’t have the variety of flavors that Yogurtland has, but for me I was perfectly happy as Milano Freezer seems to focus on the «tart» flavors. Yogurtland only has 4 tart flavors at any given time so their huge variety means nothing to me.
The yogurt was so smooth and creamy. I was impressed! It was so delicious! I want more!
I would highly recommend frozen yogurt lovers to try Milano Freezer. You can tell their quality is better and the store is so much cleaner.
We need a Milano Freezer somewhere in East Honolulu! I’m going to have to start looking for reasons to go out West.

It’s great to see a Gelato/​Fro-​yo place in Hawaii! I’ve had both there. I love the donatella and the raspberry gelato! So good. I’ve had them with mochi, raspberry, mango toppings. BOMB!
Also, there’s a cute guy that works there with the most adorable smile! haha. I don’t remember his name because I didn’t see his name badge, but my sister did and forgot his name. I hope he reads this.

More flavorful and less fattening than ice cream (with a creamier texture) what’s not to love about gelato. It was a happy day when Milano Freezer opened up in Westridge (across Circuit City in Aiea). I’d been jonesing for the stuff since I left Italy (true it’s not the same, but I’ll take what I can get, it’s still really good). In addition to the gelato the non-​fat yogurt and friendly service make stopping by the shop a perfect mid-​afternoon or post-​dinner treat.
What it’s like:
Bright, clean, colorful, and whimsically modern. Tastefully decorated, with a proper gelato display case.
Why I’d go back:
Cause I’m addicted to the stuff. Here the fruit flavors are especially good (strawberry, mango, etc.). I’m a chocolate lover though so I generally get the Chocolate, Donatella (Hazell nut chocolate) or Chocolate Oreo. Still waiting for some Dark Chocolate. Some of our friends really like the different non-​fat yogurts. While I just eat the stuff straight, I’ve heard good things about the array of toppings that are available.
Random Thoughts:
You can mix and match more than one flavor. For most people a small cup is probably enough. Ask for the little spoons, it’s a lot more fun to eat that way and it lasts longer. Pick up the orders for your whole office and collect all the stamps toward a free gelato.

Just a few minor notes to add:
— So this being Hawaii I found out that I had met the owner of this place years ago playing street volleyball in Kaimuki (pavement actually, but street sounds cooler). He’s had me sample a few flavors in an attempt to expand my gelato consumption beyond Donattela. Some of the new flavors I recommend are Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Stracciatella (Creamy w/​Chocolate Flakes). Also any of the frozen yogurts topped with a little fruit is really wonderful.
–There’s now PRE-​PACKED ready to go GELATO in a cooler off to the side… perfect for those in a rush and is slightly cheaper while still tasting really good.
–Added some pictures so y’all can get an idea of what it looks like inside.
***update 04/​29/​08***
Woohoo! They added Dark Chocolate and Rocky Road.
Anyway enjoy, I’ve no doubt you will!
