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.

ALOHA STATE DAILY | June 04, 2025
The Hawaiʻi Kai ice cream shop offers housemade flavors — and adorable waffle cone ice cream flights.
Orange creamsicle. Banana split. Jack Daniels Chocolate. Blueberry Poptart. These are just of the few unique flavors you’ll find at recently opened Hammond’s Gourmet Ice Cream in Koko Marina Center. The shop took over the former Bubbies Ice Cream space, which was recently home to Moena Sweets.
The shop is especially known for its ice cream flights, complete with mini waffle cones, which are made in house. Flights include two to six mini scoops of ice cream.
“The flights allow our customers to experience a bunch and have fun with it,” she adds. “I like the flights because people sit down. They don’t just walk and get ice cream; it gets people to really interact. I feel like we really need that nowadays.”

Hammond’s Gourmet Ice Cream – Showcasing with Jet Blue Airlines
Jet Blue Airlines | 2017
Back in 2017, Hammond's Gourmet Ice Cream was chosen as the premier ice cream dessert specialty served on all first class jet Blue Flights flying into San Diego.
Jet Blue Airlines wanted to showcase the best of what San Diego had to offer, and since Hammond's had their first location in San Diego, they were chosen as the supplier for all incoming San Diego Flights.
“Absolutely the creamiest and the best hard ice cream on island.”
Everything is made in house and nothing is freezer burnt! Ice cream needs to be creamy and Hammond’s definitely delivers!!!
