The Papalani Gelato® Mission:
Our mission is to create unique flavors using all natural and organic ingredients. We make our product by hand every day in our store. We use as many local ingredients as possible in every pan we make. When visiting our store, you will find familiar flavors of gelato, but many flavors which are unique to our kitchen. We believe using fresh local ingredients and making our gelato fresh every day differentiates from any other frozen dessert business on Kauai. We accomplish these things in an environmental friendly and sustainable manner.
