Been to the dentist lately? After Scoop of Paradise finalizes its renovations of the former Flavormania, you may need to make an appointment. With extended hours, additional dining space, and new pinball and video games to play while enjoying delicious homemade ice cream, you may want to indulge in the ultimate treat a bit more often.

Patti and William Golden of Paradise Ice are the new owners of Haleiwa’s gourmet ice cream shop, and they have grand plans to create an old fashioned ice cream parlor complete with pinball machines, video games, booths for birthday parties, and of course delicious homemade ice cream served in cups, on cones, as shakes, malts, banana splits, smoothies, sundaes, floats, and even customized cakes. If you would rather, the ice cream will be packed in quart, pint, and tub containers to take home. And yes, the famous Paradise Ice will also be available. The renovations of Scoop of Paradise will create an atmosphere where families can spend quality time, a safe place for kids to hang out after school, and a special space to host birthday parties and other celebrations.

In addition to remodeling the space, Scoop of Paradise will add new flavors of fresh, smooth homemade ice cream, many with chunks of real fruit. Other exciting details include offering unique ice cream flavors such as passion fruit, blueberry cheesecake, and pumpkin pie as part of a “Flavors of the Month” event, and “Dance Revolution” tournaments with the winner receiving gift certificates and other great prizes.

Another cool idea…local eateries can order customized ice cream flavors to serve their guests. How about sage or thyme ice cream? What about green tea? These fine culinary creations are limited only by your own imagination. Turtle Bay, Waimea Falls Grill, and Sharks Cove Grill have already added personalized ice cream flavors to their menus.

Open during remodeling, Scoop of Paradise plans to host its Grand Opening in late Spring. New operating hours are 11am – 9pm Monday thru Sunday. You can begin placing orders for customized ice cream cakes by calling 637-3456. Whether planning your next birthday party, looking for a cool place to hang out, or need a pint to take home, Scoop of Paradise is the ultimate indulgence for people of all ages.
