Lappert's is an ice cream manufacturer, producing "super-premium" ice cream, based on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. The company runs the largest ice cream chain in Hawaii.[1]

Lappert's was founded by Walter Lappert when he retired to Hawaii with his second wife Mary and opened an ice cream store.[2][3] The first batch of ice cream was created on the island of Kauai on December 21, 1983.[4]

Lappert's ice cream is featured in many other independently owned stores. To date, the company has created 8 unique, original flavors which address specific regional demands.[5][6]

In addition to ice cream, the Lappert's roasts and sells gourmet coffee.[7]

Walter Lappert's son, Michael Lappert, opened a California brand of his own and named it Lappert's Ice Cream.[8]
