Whether you prefer creamy or chunky, peanut butter lovers can celebrate the American staple on Jan. 24, which is National Peanut Butter Day. Here’s where you can enjoy the popular spread.
Banán Kaimuki
Banán’s newest store is in Kaimuki, and this location offers several exclusive flavors. If there’s no specific peanut butter flavor during your visit, you can add peanut butter as a specialty topping ($1.25) to your dessert. It’s one of the most popular options, along with macadamia nut honey butter and local dark chocolate.

7Gradi Gelato
7Gradi Gelato uses imported Italian-made machines to create its desserts. All gelato is made in-house (no powder used here). The business name is derived from the temperature at which the gelato is made (7 degrees Fahrenheit). While mascarpone Oreo is the most popular flavor, keep an eye out for seasonal specials like peanut butter chocolate, which features a decadent blend of the classic combo.
