Love Where You Live, Reason #14 – Hammond’s Gourmet Ice Cream

A Sweet Slice of Heaven: Hammond’s Gourmet Ice Cream in Hawaii Kai

Nestled in the heart of the Koko Marina Shopping Center,  Hammond’s Gourmet Ice Cream is more than just an ice cream shop—it’s a local gem that brings smiles to every face that walks through its doors. Owners Ryan and Trang Hammond have been churning up super-premium ice cream for years, and recently, they  brought their beloved creations to the Hawaii Kai community.

Handcrafted in small batches with passion, precision, and a whole lot of aloha, Hammond’s ice cream is a true labor of love.   In fact, everything about this place exudes love, from the owners, to the helpful staff like Isabella,  to the bright, cheerful and welcoming ambiance.

At Hammond’s, quality comes first. Their ice cream is made with high butterfat and low overrun. Every scoop is dense, rich, and incredibly satisfying. Whether you’re a die-hard chocolate lover or a flavor adventurer, there’s something here for every palate. Of course, you’ll find timeless classics like Deep Chocolate and Tahitian Vanilla, but it’s the creative combinations that really set Hammond’s apart—think Earl Grey with Shortbread, Chocolate Macnuts infused with Peanut Butter & Oreo, or a refreshing lineup of dairy-free sorbets bursting with tropical flavor.

What truly steals the show? The famous Hammond’s Flights—six mini cones, each topped with a different flavor, artfully arranged like a bouquet of frozen joy. Perfect for indecisive tasters or those who want it all. And honestly, who doesn’t? The Flights are a signature experience you won’t want to miss.

It’s not just the ice cream that keeps families coming back. Inside the shop, Hammond’s has created a cute and cozy community center.  It comes complete with a free toy exchange that delights keiki and parents alike. It’s the kind of thoughtful touch that makes you feel like you’re part of something special—where sharing, play, and connection are just as important as the sweet treats.

Hammond’s is definitely more than just ice cream. It’s a gathering spot for families, keiki, kūpuna, and everyone in between. The warm, welcoming vibe reflects the shop’s deep connection to the Hawaii Kai community. It’s a place where memories are made over cones and conversations, and where people with food sensitivities can indulge without worry—thanks to their thoughtful dairy-free, egg-free, and nut-free options.

So next time you’re in Koko Marina, do yourself a favor: step into Hammond’s, grab a flight, and savor the sweet aloha one scoop at a time.
