Many of you may have found me originally because you were searching for the holy grail of Disney, the perfect Dole Whip recipe. But I keep seeing on social media, that many people don’t realize you can totally get pineapple Dole Whips outside of Disney parks! Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with this updated list.
Creamy, fruity, delicious, and refreshing, it’s the deserving favorite of many a park-goer. For the longest time, it really was only available in Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and at the Dole Plantation in Hawaii.
However, a few years ago I shared that official “Dole Pineapple Soft Serve” had been spotted at Menchie’s. In doing more research, I found that many locations nationwide serve the delightful, authentic pineapple goodness – along with other nearly as good (if not as emotionally charged) Dole soft serve flavors.
Please, do yourselves a favor. Look up the nearest Menchie’s or Orange Leaf and give them a call – weekly if you must – to find out when they’re mixing Dole Pineapple Soft Serve. You can even add fresh strawberries and whipped cream to it (my favorite combination) or smuggle in some juice to make a float, if you’re feeling adventurous.
Not fortunate enough to live near these gems? Skip the food science and sales pitch on this post if you’d like, and scroll down to the list of locations recently known to be serving The World’s Best Ice Creamy Treat, and see if one of these locations is convenient to you. Your definition of “convenient” may vary, of course, but I’d say a real Dole Whip is worth a few hour drive, at least…
So spill it. How many of you are planning a trip to your nearest frozen yogurt joint as soon as possible, or have already called them to find Dole Whips outside of Disney World or Disneyland?!

Another tidbit: Orange Leaf’s website allows you to select you “home” store and had a list of that stores current flavors. Not sure how accurate they all are but you may not even need to call.
For the Love of Disney
YES! Thank you for the reminder. I saw that and it looks pretty accurate, at least as far as each being different.

There’s a Menchies down the street! Holy cow! Must stop now…

Especially at Menchie’s, make sure you call first! One near us almost always has Pineapple, one has it occasionally, and a few never do! Good luck 🙂

I LOVED Dole Whips and now that’s all I want. There used to be this place in town when I was in college that had these things called pineapple whips. They were good but not the same thing. Holy crap! This brought me back a few years,

Isn’t it funny how our memories can be so closely tied to food, smells, etc? Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂

If you are in Orlando, check out http://www.bigkahunasbowls.com we just went there for the first time this afternoon and the Poke looks amazing but we went there primarily for the Dole Whip. I didn’t even know there were four flavors! They had strawberry, mango, pineapple and orange! We want to head back for bowls today or tomorrow.

I can report that Lappert’s Ice Cream in downtown Palm Springs has Dole Whip! It looks as though they always have pineapple, plus two other flavors that rotate.

Woohoo! Isn’t it great when you know you can get it when you want it?! 🙂

Menche’s sells yogurt and Dole Whip is ice cream, no? But they do have a pineapple flavor, yes. But actually ANYWHERE who carries Dole products has Dole Whip and in various flavors. Dole Plantation, lots of mom and pop ice cream shops around the country , etc. It’s not actually a Disney thing. They were just smart and got the Dole sponsorship or partnership 🙂

Actually, Dole Soft Serve isn’t ice cream. It’s even dairy free, vegan, gluten free, etc! And it did used to be true, directly from the Dole company, that their soft serve could only be found in Hawaii and Disney properties. Thankfully that’s not true anymore! 🙂

Just found Dole Whip. IceCreamTon on pacific coast highway next to Main Street Huntington Beach CA.

We had Dole Whips at the Lahaina Ice Cream Parlor in the town of Lahaina on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii in 2017. It looks like they have a Dole Whip pic as their Facebook cover photo.

Dutch wonderland in Lancaster, pa has dole whip!
Eagle Archambeault
Redneckbbq in North Carolina (about an hour outside of RTP) has it!

For my fellow Okies, the Frontier City theme park in OKC started selling the pineapple dole whips. I don’t know all of the locations, but they can be found at the Twisted Pretzel (look at the map). They are 4.99 or free if you have the meal season pass thing. Note that Frontier city is getting really expensive to go to unless you get a season pass, so grab next seasons when they first start selling them (pretty sure they’re cheaper then).

You can now find it at the Airline Dairy Creme in Vandalia, Ohio. Love this stuff!
Alicia Balandran
Holiday world in Indiana has the dole whip and the float in pineapple and strawberry. Yum
Michael
Another place in Huntington Beach is Hula Girls Shaved Ice off Bolsa Chica St!
Kerri
In the ST LOUIS MO Area, Ketchums Corner Kreem in Alton Il has the DOLE WHIP! It is AMAZING!
Diane
Awesome! I live in Norman and was just doing a Google search for Dole Whips and found your comment. No desire to buy a pass to Frontier City though. Hmmmm

Do you have a frozen yogurt place nearby (the kind with lots of flavors, usually self-serve)? In addition to Orange Leaf Menchies, even less familiar froyo places are beginning to have the Dole soft serve more. It’s worth checking! 🙂
Jessie
Cone Zone in Milton WI has them. You can get it in different flavors too like orange, raspberry and lime.
Dave
Hilo Hatti – Hawaiian Shirt Maker has an outlet store outside Honolulu that has Dole Whips for sale just after the check out. I had 2!
Michelle
The Houston Zoo has them also. In a little snack shop in the Africa area.
