July is National Ice Cream Month, and National Ice Cream Day is coming up this Sunday. Here are several sweet ways to indulge:

Sweet As Ice Cream
With locations in Ala Moana Center, Laie and Haleiwa, this biz offers real fruit ice cream that features locally made dairy. Choose a base ice cream (coconut, dairy-free coconut, frozen yogurt or vanilla) and select a fruit to blend into a soft serve-style treat. The fruit selection includes mango, strawberry, mixed berry, pineapple and more. Choose from single (keiki size, $7) or double (nui size, $9) scoops, or upgrade to a freshly made waffle cone ($1 more).
