In Prenzlauer Berg, the ice cream patisserie Hokey Pokey stands for artisanal gelato at patisserie level: Founder Niko Robert, former pastry chef at the Ritz Carlton, transforms the finest ingredients into ice cream flavors rarely found elsewhere in Berlin.
Hokey Pokey Ice Cream Patisserie: When Ice Cream Becomes Craftsmanship
Since 2011, Hokey Pokey Ice Cream Patisserie has delighted its guests with ice cream of the highest perfection. The concept combines traditional Italian and French patisserie craftsmanship with contemporary trends from haute cuisine. Behind the project is owner and ice cream pastry chef Niko Robert, who previously worked at Berlin’s luxury hotel Ritz Carlton. You can truly taste it in every spoon.
The variety of flavors is enormous: In addition to classics like Hokey Pokey, French Chocolate, Sicilian Pistachio, or Passion Fruit with White Chocolate, the assortment varies according to the season and seasonal availability. The namesake flavor, by the way, comes from New Zealand and consists of Bourbon vanilla ice cream with caramel pieces. Many of the flavors offered by Hokey Pokey were previously only known from American ice cream pioneers like Ben & Jerry’s. However, at Hokey Pokey, it usually tastes a touch better, and the team constantly comes up with new creations, such as Blood Peach-Marzipan-Riesling.
Multiple Locations, One Queue
Anyone visiting one of Berlin’s best ice cream parlors should bring some patience. Since the opening of the tiny ice cream parlor on Stargarder Straße in Prenzlauer Berg, queues during the summer months have been so long that there have already been protests in the neighborhood because the sidewalk is blocked. In addition to the original store in Prenzlauer Berg, there are now further branches in Prenzlauer Berg, Mitte, and Pankow. From their popular plant-based variant to the classic scoop, Hokey Pokey also offers vegan options. If you also want to enjoy the creations at home: The ice cream creations are also available pre-packed in 500ml containers for takeaway.
