Lickety Split

Love it when he comes to visit us in Hauula! My kids think it’s amazing that the ice cream man comes to our house:) We have had 2 different guys come and they were both super friendly and nice. We look forward to them coming every week!

Delicious! Took us a bit to actually catch him but well worth it! My kids are very happy right about now. Two soft serve come over creams $ 6. One was chocolate dipped and the other Oreo dipped.

Fast and friendly! They serve delicious soft serve ice cream, sundaes, fresh blended milkshakes, and floats.
My root beer float was quite delicious and refreshing after a long morning’s swim at the beach. Make sure to bring enough cash for a tip!

«ICE CREAM MAN!!! ICE CREAM MAN!!!»
What is this? I’m an adult. And it is a quiet afternoon in Waikele. And I’m cleaning. Why have I suddenly hurtled out the front door? Why am I moving so fast that I need to turn around to grab my shoes? How did these crumpled dollars end up crushed in my hand? What is all of this yelling in my head?
Thank goodness my son and his friend appeared at the last moment! I can blame it all on them! «Hey, boys, look! An ice cream truck! Let’s go!»
Turns out that standing in line behind a neighborhood’s worth of children is just as exciting as it was when I was one of the kids. The ice cream was vanilla soft serve, with many options to make it fancy, from sprinkles to full banana splits. Prices were reasonable, from $ 3 to $ 6. Sodas and shakes were also available. Because I am, in fact, a grown up, I ordered a simple vanilla cone. I looked longingly at the banana split, though, and might make that leap the next time I hear the siren song of the Ice Cream Man.

Hawai’i is an awesome place to live, but if you grew up elsewhere, there are some things that you just miss.
I have kids, and I was missing: parks with swings, and wait for it.. . ice cream trucks.
And one just came by my neighborhood! I rushed my little boy outside, and was crossing my fingers. «Please be an ice cream truck, not a manapua truck,» (which my husband who grew up here said was the local equivalent of the ice cream truck (only better – according to him).
This ice cream truck had a whole bunch of choices on the side. We just tried the chocolate dip cone. It was really delicious. He served us fresh soft serve vanilla from the machine in the truck, dipped it in very delicious chocolate, and handed it over. It was only $ 3 which I think is very reasonable.
He also had sodas and many other choices, like sundaes.
It was awesome.
And the guy was cool and nice.
I hope he stays in business and comes by again soon.

Lickety Split serves soft serve delicious ice cream. Since they are located at the North Shore. I was lucky to try them out at the Lunch Truck Pa’iana event held at Kam Swap Meet. You can have your plain ice cream in a cone. You could also get the soft serve ice cream with different toppings, sundae’s, floats, milkshakes and banana splits. I also found out you could rent them out for events.
They give good portion size for the price that you pay. My son got the rainbow sprinkle cone ($ 3). Which he needed help eating. Of course I didn’t mind :) I got the hot fudge brownie sundae for $ 6. The brownie was chewy and moist. The ice cream accompanied it well.
I hope they will be at the next Lunch Truck event so I can try there other desserts.

I tried Lickety Split’s chocolate-​dipped vanilla ice cream cone at the second Eat the Street Truck Rally and was satisfied with my dessert choice. The only thing I was a little disappointed in is the fact that the ice cream itself tasted less fatty than regular ice cream. I don’t know if it was real ice cream or if it was frozen yogurt, but even frozen yogurt tastes like ice cream (at least to me) and I was expecting something creamier since I heard the guy who was serving the ice cream say that it was. So maybe it’s healthy ice cream or something, which is great for my body, but I would have liked to have known beforehand if that’s what it was. The chocolate that it was dipped in was delicious and I enjoyed the whole thing after I got over the initial surprise of lighter tasting ice cream.
