Really good ice cream here and a nice clean interior. The worker was kind and helpful. I had the Vietnamese coffee and it had a great coffee flavor and was thick and creamy. Also tried a bit of the pumpkin crunch and it was loaded with flavor and tasted how you would expect when you think of pumpkin crunch. Everything is definitely pricey here but it's good quality. read more

TLDR: No samples. Too sugary. Ice crystals. I adore ice cream. Rain or shine. Hot or cold weather. Anytime. Hammond's has been on my radar for a while. Was looking forward to tasting their ice cream. Hoped to add it to my rotation. Visited 2x to see if my 1st experience was a fluke. Unfortunately it wasn't. As the photo states: *No samples* Surprised this was not mentioned in recent reviews. Some reviews from 2025 mention 1 free sample & a charge for additional samples. Super annoying although not a deal-breaker if the ice cream lived up to the hype. 1st visit: a "flight" of 2 miniature cones. Chocolate & the other flavor was not memorable. Can't remember the price, maybe $3 each. - Both were too sugar sweet, the sweetness overpowered the flavor. - - Both melted too fast. Premium ice cream usually contains higher fat & melts slowly. - The chocolate had ice crystals! Absolutely a deal-breaker. - The miniature waffle cones were crunchy & tasty. 2nd visit: Took family for National Ice Cream Day because after 1st visit, preferred risking $2 a scoop instead of $6.25. - Both were too sugar sweet, the sweetness overpowered the flavor. - - Both melted too fast. - The lilikoi cream had ice crystals! With the description, expected vanilla & lilikoi flavors. It was lilikoi flavored ice cream that tasted like sugar. - The caramel mac nut had a good amount of diced mac nuts. The nuts didn't taste roasted or salted for contrast. The caramel tasted like sugar not caramel. The physical store is light & bright with seating. The service is friendly. read more

After grocery shopping at Costco...decided I needed to cool off with some ice cream. It is July...it is swelteringly hot; a cold,sweet treat is the perfect remedy. Hammond's Gourmet Ice Cream is in the Koko Marina Shopping Center across the marina from CostcoLand. I've been her once before and the ice cream is excellent. The interior is large with several tables, banquette seating as well as counter seating. Today it was nearly empty - they just opened at noon - but I wanted to be on my way. Got a double scoop in a paper bowl - they have waffle cones. Pineapple Guava Sorbet caught my eye and I paired it with a Condensed Milk Ice Cream. Bits of real pineapple in the sorbet. Condensed milk ice cream was just as fantastic. You can't go wrong with patronizing a locally owned small business. Open from Noon to 900p daily. read more

Came for National Ice Cream Day. Wow I got parking and the line was not too long. It still took a while to proceed inside to order. Bummer I got the scooper that gave small scoops. Her scoop does not even pass the top of the cup like the others. I bought 2 scoops and it was still small. Oh well. The man doing left handed scoops gave way bigger scoops he decided to give scoops to the male person while the female worker was already working on his companions order so I got the woman who gave tiny scoops. Bummer. Coffee is always good but it melted so fast. A pool of melted mess. Have to see if I can refreeze. Smooth and creamy. Thanks for discount. I have to think whether I want to come back for such a tiny scoop at a higher price. I dread to think what a kiddie scoop would be since the scoop I had was not equal to 6 flight scoops and paid more. read more

Love that the ice cream is hand made in-house-- right there. Owner is friendly and passionate about ice cream. I liked the flights, but my favorite was the double scoop on in-house-hand-made sugar cone. Great, gun atmosphere. Very clean. Great parking. read more

My first time to Hammond's and I think this might be my new favorite place to get ice cream. We got the 6-count ice cream flight so we could try multiple flavors. You can choose either a waffle of cake cones. We chose a variety of three sorbet and three dairy ice creams. I'm not much of a sweet tooth so it was really nice to see a large variety of sorbet options that weren't dairy-heavy. We tried: 1. Strawberry guava sorbet- my favorite sorbet of the flight. You could distinctly taste both flavors and it was super refreshing 2. Pineapple lilikoi sorbet- tasted like a pineapple smoothy 3. Calamansi- tasted exactly like the fruit and really hit the spot 4. Cookie dough- surprisingly my favorite out of the entire flight. The ice cream had generous chunks of cookie dough without being too heavy or too sweet. I would get this one again as its own scoop 5. Campfire- tasted like vanilla with a hint of a smokey flavor 6. POG cheesecake- very interesting and something new! Wasn't my favorite, but it was still decent They alternate/rotate flavors every so often so I'm excited to go back again and try other new flavors! read more

Service has definitely improved which is great cause they have the best ice cream in east Honolulu

We went to Hammond's ice cream at Koko Marina for the umpteenth time this past Sunday, on National ice cream day! At first glance, the line was daunting because there were a good 30 people ahead of us, but we set an alarm to reassess our place in line after 5 minutes to see if it was still worth it. It was worth it! Hammonds has their process down to a tee, where they are able to move customers along efficiently and effectively, so that was much appreciated! Due to national ice cream day, the promo was $1/flight sized ice cream, max of 6, and $2 scoops. This was a huge discount considering their gourmet ice creams are typically much more expensive- about 2x more per flight scoops. Enjoyed every flavor I got- excited to try more after hikes! read more

I like that they have the flights options so you basically can sample different flavors. I will definitely do that next time. We ordered affogato which was one of the best I have had. Perfect balance between the espresso and vanilla ice cream. Strawberry flavor was good I could still taste chunks of strawberries in there. The ube didn't taste like ube at all so I will try other flavors next time. Very simple yet cute decor. I love that they have a community corner so anyone can leave books or toys there for others to use. My toddler had so much fun and we got to enjoy our ice cream peacefully. Any parents would love this place! read more

One of my favorite ice cream shops ever!!! I always get a flight of 4 whenever I am indecisive of what flavors they offer. They often change up their flavors so I recommend to check out their instagram because they upload a more accurate menu by date! But tonight I got a flight of 4 with flavors of 2 Vietnamese coffee, banana milk, and Nutella strawberry. I love love love the Vietnamese coffee ice cream here! They do it perfectly!!! If they offer this flavor when you visit, I recommend this flavor big time! It is a family owned shop so it's nice to see the family so welcoming and cheerful! There are also a few board games so it is a great spot for desert after dinner with friends and/or family! read more

This is a very cute, cozy ice cream shop. We opted for the ice cream flight since we couldn't choose. Every flavor here is fresh, you can just tell the quality. We were talking to the owner Ryan about the lovely plants around the shop and he mentioned his wife designed the area. I absolutely loved it! He was gracious enough to let us try two affogatos since we came from town a little later in the evening. What a gem! Will definitely be coming back. Thank you Ryan ! read more

I love that Hammond's has a flight option, which was much needed for all their flavors! There's lots of parking in the lot and both indoor and outdoor seating. I ended up getting the biscoff cream, honey yogurt, rice krispy partay, and the lilikoi cream. I did half in a waffle cone and the other half in the regular cake cone. I would definitely recommend getting the waffle cone for all. They were nice and crispy and the perfect texture. All the flavors were good but my favorite was probably the biscoff cream. I love the variety of flavors, and I would definitely come back to try more! Workers here are super nice too! read more

This location seems perpetually some kind of ice cream shop, which is good as every shopping center needs at least one. Hammond's is the current title holder of Koko Marina's ice cream shop and they hold the title well. A clean, well lit, with interesting flavors, and an instagramable background too! Parking is shared with the other tenants. We stopped by after lunch at Greek Marina after a hot trek up the lighthouse hike because my better half is always hankering for ice cream and it was a blazing, cloudless day. Immediately the Vietnamese coffee caramel Oreo called to me. Three things I like in one ice cream flavor? Seriously, how can I not get this? But because the Holidays are around the corner, we also got the Jack Daniel's Eggnog because, well, whiskey ice cream is also great. Plus, these two flavors work well together in a double scoop. The eggnog had a bit of a kick but did not actually taste boozy. It was creamy, rich, and tasted like eggnog. The ice cream itself was a bit airy and melted somewhat quickly. To compliment the eggnog, the Vietnamese coffee caramel Oreo was dense, with strong coffee flavor, but the bitterness was cut by the sweetness of the caramel and the Oreo bits added texture. If you like coffee, almost certainly you will enjoy this flavor. One of the staff, I'm guessing the owner said, "It will change your life." I don't know about that, but that flavor is definitely in my top three ice cream flavors now. Prices are fairly normal for the ice cream parlor business, staff are polite and efficient, and there are plenty of places to sit down and eat your frozen treat. We'll be back for more Vietnamese coffee caramel Oreo the next time we're by Koko Marina. 4.5 Stars read more

Think I might have found my new favorite ice cream spot! We got the flight of 6 flavors with waffle cones. It is mini sized which was perfect to try out different flavors. They do not offer samples. But there are many different unique flavors made in house to choose from but we got the Vietnamese coffee, salted caramel praline, mocha Vietnamese coffee cheesecake, taro coconut, pineapple guava sorbet and hunneh yogurt. Their flavors do change on rotation and have specials as well. All the flavors were delicious and really is gourmet ice cream! The owner was nice and there were cute holiday decorations up in the shop. They offer stamp cards as well so don't forget to ask. Definitely will be back! read more

Located in Hawaii Kai where the old Bubbies used to be. A few tables outside and ample seating inside. I love that they have mini cake and mini waffle cones, to pair your flights with. Though I didn't ask if you could mix and match the physical cones...that would be an even bigger game changer! The owner, Ryan stopped by our table and chatted with us about their plans. Super cool guy, and very hospitable too. He thanked me for letting him know that their napkins ran out. I thought that was a normal thing for people to do, but he was so tickled by that gesture. Thank you for allowing me to check off my good deed for the day. Will definitely be back to try out the many rotating flavors you folks have available! read more

Yay, a new ice cream business has taken over the old Bubbie's at Koko Marina! I was excited to try it. You'll find flavors here that you won't find anywhere else. Some of the flavors even have alcohol in it. I purchased a double scoop $7.75 plus a little more for the waffle cone. I forgot to ask how much, but the total plus tax was nine dollars and some change. I got the Vietnamese Coffee and Caramel & Waffle. Both flavors were terrific. They were bold, but not overly sweet. The waffle cone was crispy and I saw the owner making it in house. July 20th is National Ice Cream Day. They're offering $1.50 single scoops from 2-6pm and 75 cent flights all day. I love flights as you can sample more of the flavors. *I stopped by on 7/20 for National Ice Cream Day. They were packed. The line was all the way to Zippy's and we waited in line for 45 minutes. Also, the mini waffle cones are 35 cents and the large waffle cones are $1.25. read more

The game changer is the "ice cream sampler." For around $7 (depending on whether you want a house made waffle cone or a cake cone), you get 3 mini cones of ice cream of your choice. Why don't more places do this? Good quality ice cream, with friendly service and plenty of seating read more

Cute ice cream shop with lots of unique flavors! Service as friendly and you can try up to two flavors. Some flavors are not on the board & you have to look into the freezer. I got the Vietnamese coffee in a waffle cone & my daughter got a Strawberry in a mini waffle cone. So cute!! It was the perfect size for her. They also have super affordable flights and you can get it with the cute mini waffle cones too! I love Vietnamese coffee flavor & this one was creamy and a little bitter from the coffee. The strawberry was creamy. The only thing was that the ice cream melted way too fast. I had to eat it so fast that it kinda took away from the experience. It was basically dripping onto the floor at the end of it and it was a sticky mess. Other than that, ice cream was fantastic! read more

So happy to have a decent ice cream parlor on the east side! Love the option to get flights of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6! That way you can have bites of a whole variety of flavors and share too. We ordered flight of 5 but should have gotten 6. We tried the vanilla, strawberry, cookie and cream, strawberry cheesecake, Thai tea all in mini waffle cones. Highly suggest the waffle cone. Crunchy and not too sweet topped with the different ice creams made for a yummy dessert/snack. All flavors were unique but my favorite was the strawberry cheesecake...who doesn't love chunks of cheese cake in their ice cream. Lotsa seating with plenty of room to enjoy your treat. There were two servers and both were helpful! One server was clearly learning and a little nervous but he was trying so please be patient and kind. read more

Get on board for a cool flight... Hammond's Gourment Ice Cream has arrived in Koko Marina Shopping Center and I was excited to see what flavors they have as the heat alone is something we needed help with. You can find them half way down the center and with lots of free parking there are no worries with how long this flight will last you though the shop isn't quite as cool (temperature) so I had to keep this session short. The ladies were so nice and polite as we arrived and tried to decided what to order only to see that they these super cute flights of either cake or waffle cones that were just super cute but never did they offer samples (not that I realized only later) as choosing six that I've never tried wasn't the easiest though I did and as we tried looking for a table it was fairly empty but still had some dirty tables. As I tried to take pics one after another of course my creation started to melt and became a bit of a mess and as I tried to get their attention for napkins as the dispenser was empty I was totally ignored as I obviously stood there was quite insulting and rude. Really wanted to like this spot but it just didn't give me the greatest vibe unfortunately though congratulations and hope the flights here truly takes off. Thank you! read more

Dessert in Hawaii Kai, Honolulu, Hawaii... We saw (on social media) that Hammond's Gourmet Ice Cream was in its Soft Opening phase. Let's go! Good things: *Koko Marina has free shared parking! *The interior is clean, bright, spacious, cute, and air-conditioned! *The variety of flavors is almost overwhelming! *The flights of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are great deals if you want to try different flavors without commitment. Areas of improvement: *Customers after us were offered samples. *Napkin dispenser was empty and our cones were dripping. Staff were busy at the time and weren't able to refill the napkins. *Tables weren't cleaned right away since staff were busy with orders. *Flavors were a bit odd. I had a Flight of 3 in waffle cones: Oatmilk Choco Cherry Oreo, Chocolate Strawberry Sorbetto, and Margarita Sorbetto. I appreciate that my 3 flavors were dairy-free! Next time, I'll bring my lactaid pills and get other flavors! The Grand Opening is on Saturday, June 7, 2025... go and support them! read more

Sweet Tooth Satisfaction, One Mini Cone at a Time Hammond's ice cream flight is a dream come true when you are having a sweet tooth moment. I always need something sweet after a meal. To keep things in check, I usually go for the kiddie size when getting ice cream. The hard part is picking just one flavor, especially when I love variety. Enter the Hammond's ice cream flight. Each mini scoop comes in a tiny cone. You can choose from two to six flavors, and they even provide a handy tray to hold them all. There is always a great view out back by the water, which makes the treat even better. When you cannot decide on one flavor and want a picture-perfect dessert, Hammond's makes it easy to indulge without overdoing it. read more

My daughter and I stopped by after the beach and found this gem! Not only do they have yummy ice cream but they're so nice and friendly! The gentlemen working was the only worker there at the time but he took the time to help us after my daughter dropped her ice cream and on the ground after we've paid and left. (Mind you there was already a line forming) He even proceeded to tell us it was probably his fault by not pressing in the ice cream to the cone hard enough! We offered to pay but he insisted we not. That small but significant gesture made mine and my daughter's day! Thank you! read more

I enjoyed this place so much! The service was so friendly and helpful! They helped me pick my last flavor because I couldn't decide (thank you!!). I ended up getting Vietnamese Coffee Oreo, Lavender, and Coconut White Chocolate... I think that was it but honestly, I loved all of them! So many fun flavors to choose from, and the ice cream flight with mini waffle cones is the cutest way to try a few at once The vibes here are super chill, and that glowing pink sign says it all "Ice cream solves everything" Definitely a happy place worth stopping by! :) read more

I was so excited to try this new ice cream shop in koko marina! Amazing flavor selection, and I love their ice cream flight concept! I always want to try multiple flavors but can't finish multiple scoops lol. This is a great idea, and it's the same price for a flight as a single scoop cone! We got the caramelized banana, with real banana pieces inside! The Irish cream chocolate was our favorite-- rich chocolate flavor. Last, we had the mango cream which was light & perfect!! Such a nice afternoon treat. The service was great, staff were very friendly. I also noticed they have a kids corner with games! It's a nice touch to the space & gives the kiddos something to do!

I ordered the affogato and the caramel with waffle cone bits. Both were delicious! It's nice to have ice cream that is made in small batches. The caramel and waffle cone flavors were a perfect combination. It came with colorful sprinkle topping - a party atop my ice cream scoop. It made me happy just looking at it! The affigato had a nice and strong espresso and a great vanilla-flavored ice cream. The quality ice cream was apparent in the vanilla scoop. The server was friendly and helpful. read more

@fortunefoodfinds: "You're WAFFLEy cute! An ice cream flight served in waffle cones from HAMMOND'S GOURMET ICE CREAM that recently opened last month in Hawaii Kai. Mini scoops of coffee toffee Oreo, chocolate, ginger, Thai tea, peanut butter + jelly, n' banana Oreo. When it's mini it just makes everything cuter yenno!" Staff: friendly Interior: cute, spacious, was able to fit our stroller, bench n' table seating Exterior: located in the Koko Marina Center Wait time: the line was maybe 5 mins, grew behind me Parking: free lot Overall comments: they have so many options in flavors where you can choose from classics (my son wanted chocolate, however my daughter swooped on it!), to very unique creations. It was hard to choose, which means I'll need to come back to try the rest. Loved all the flavors we got, but if I had to choose a fave on this visit it would be the ginger. All the ice cream was great in texture n' taste. The mini flight was so cute. There was plenty of seating when we arrived, then soon filled up.

The newest cute little ice cream shop on the East side! We missed out on the grand opening, but decided to stop by a few days later. It opened just in time as the weather is getting much warmer! Service: Friendly and helpful. They allow you to have 2 free samples of the ice cream so be mindful which ones you want to try! Parking: ample as it is in a plaza. It's located near Zippy's. I would agree with some of the previous reviews that say that the ice cream melts fast... we ate inside but the ice cream started melting onto our hands as soon as we got them. We ordered a flight of 4 ice creams and the small little cones for the flights are perfect for little hands. It's the perfect size. Since we got a flight of 4, they let us get 2 waffle cones and 2 sugar cones. They have a variety of different flavors and we wanted to try them all, but alas, could not so we'll have to come back again to try them! The ice cream flavors themselves weren't too sweet or overwhelming but creamy and tasty. We will be back! read more

From San Diego to Hawaii, Hammond's has arrived! I'll do a more thorough updated review after I've tried most of their flavors but I just wanted to leave one for our experience during their grand opening this past Saturday 6/7/25. We arrived about half an hour early to anticipate a crowd. We wanted to be one of the first 25 customers to earn a free scoop! From the windows, there were balloons and a private party, presumably from friends and family of the staff. And as soon as noon hit, they welcomed the first few patrons patiently waiting. For our free single scoop, my wife had their snicker flavor and I-the orange creamsicle. In addition to the free scoop, we each received 3 raffle tickets. There were a few prizes we could enter which included: a $25 gift card to Boba's Crystal shop right next door, a $15 gift card to Moena Cafe, a painting from a local artist,--I'm forgetting a few--but their grand prize was free ice cream for a year (valued at $250). After entering the raffle, we sat at the front barstool counter looking out to the parking lot as we each enjoyed our ice cream. Smooth, sweet and hit the spot for a nice warm summer's day. With so many more flavors to try, we look forward to visiting again throughout the summer days to come! Let's give Hammond's a warm Aloha! read more
