Eispatisserie Hokey Pokey





Berlin's first ice cream patisserie comes from Prenzlauer Berg: Founder Niko Robert, former patissier at the Ritz-Carlton, creates handmade trend ice cream at dessert level at Hokey Pokey. Without powders, without ready-mixes, but with Valrhona chocolate, Sicilian pistachios, and caramel shards.
Hokey Pokey Ice Cream Patisserie: Where Ice Cream Becomes Patisserie
Since 2011, Niko Robert has been offering his ice cream creations in Berlin. Together with Fabian Zeisler, he revolutionized Berlin’s ice cream scene with Hokey Pokey: with creativity, precision, and handmade varieties. Anyone who speaks of an ordinary ice cream parlor here has not yet stepped foot inside. The assortment comprises a total of 70 flavors, 20 of which are in stock at any given time. It simply plays in a different league.
Tahitian vanilla beans, organic citrus fruits, and Valrhona chocolate are among the ingredients that are freshly processed daily. The namesake flavor Hokey Pokey comes from New Zealand and consists of Bourbon vanilla ice cream with crispy caramel pieces. Bold combinations like Dulce de Leche with cinnamon rolls or Pecan Nut Brownie are also available. Those who are more adventurous can opt for the “Cinnamon Lemon” flavor or the Carrot Cake Gelato.
Trendy Ice Cream with Waiting Time: The Cult Phenomenon in Prenzlauer Berg
Queuing here is now part of the experience. On a cold day in May, the line of waiting customers stretches around the next street corner. Nevertheless, it’s worth it, because Hokey Pokey constantly comes up with new creations, such as Blood Peach Marzipan Riesling. Vegan options are also a firm part of the offering, so no one goes empty-handed.
The ice cream patisserie is now represented at several locations: Oderberger Straße 38, Stargarder Straße 73, and Berliner Straße 49a in Pankow. For those who want to enjoy Hokey Pokey not just on-site: The ice cream creations can also be taken home pre-packed in 500ml tubs. However, they taste best fresh from the counter. So: go there, queue up, enjoy.
