Coconut Glen’s is a small, independent ice-cream stand on Hāna Highway at mile marker 27½, in the Nahiku stretch of the Road to Hāna. It’s an easy food stop, not an attraction that needs a long visit. Keep it in mind if a cold coconut-milk-based snack sounds good; the business describes its ice cream as dairy-free and made with organic ingredients.
Coconut with an inventive streakThe stand is known for playful coconut-based flavors.
The stand is known for playful coconut-based flavors. Options reported by a 2026 guide include original coconut, Hawaiian passion fruit and chocolate chipotle, though the lineup can change. By 2023, proprietor Glen Simkins had built a reputation for whimsical flavors paired with short “flavor poems.” If you avoid specific ingredients, check the flavor you choose rather than assuming every recipe is identical.
Allow for a lineVisitors often praise the flavor and creamy texture, but a line can form.
Visitors often praise the flavor and creamy texture, but a line can form. One visitor reported free off-road parking with tight spaces at busy moments, so expect a small pull-in rather than a roomy lot. Treat it as a quick snack stop and leave a little slack if your drive is tightly timed.
