Lucy’s Lab Creamery

I came here because of all the hype. I mean come on. Boozy ice cream?!? I’m in! So I stole my friends daughter and we walked over to Lucy’s. They advise their customers to eat their ice cream sandwich in the shop because of how quick it melts. Now that would be fine. But the store can accommodate maybe 5 people. The shop is small!
Anyways, we looked at the flavors. And this is what they had. Cinnamon Toast Crunch, fruit loops vodka, Thai tea, corn (yeah I know. Gross), brownie batter, Nutella and honey lavender.
My friends daughter got brownie batter with Oreos, my friend got Cinnamon Toast Crunch. And I got the ice cream sandwich with fruit loop vodka ice cream. It came on a bun, with the ice cream, fruit loops and strawberry jam. It was pretty good. But I was disappointed with the ice cream. It didn’t taste like fruit loops or vodka at all. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch was bomb and so was the brown batter. I don’t know if I’ll be back but it was a fun experience for my girl friends daughter. Also the shop was super cute.

Oh SWEETNESS!
This by far is the BEST dessert I’ve EVER had. I love the fact that you can build your own pan de (something?) lol I got Brownie batter with nutella & Cinnamon toast crunch! OH EM GEE. Talk about party in your mouth? That was it! I love that they put it in the waffle machine thing that makes the ice cream sandwich rounded.
I also love that they use locally made products such as Kings Hawaiian Bread! So sweet & soft. Everything just mixes so perfectly!
There’s only street parking available, & it’s metered parking. Since the shop is very small, they only have a bench outside for you to enjoy your dessert. I suggest that you eat it there, unless you want it melted before you get a chance to eat it, which it will get very messy.
Before you go there, make sure you find out exactly where they’re located or use a GPS, because they’re hidden between side streets in town.

It took me so long to try this place but it was worth it! I had the kiddie scoop of the honey lavender ice cream — it was so good. The ice cream is extremely rich (akin to Bubbie’s, but even richer) so a kiddie scoop was more than sufficient. The honey lavender is creamy and sweet, finishing with a hint of refreshing lavender. I’d definitely recommend. My cousins got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Fruit Loop Vodka flavors, which they enjoyed.
It also helps that the shop is super adorable and the menu resembles a periodic table of delicious ice cream.

This place is a cute little ice cream shop close to ward center. It’s really small inside, which was surprising. However, they have really unique flavors and a variety of toppings.
I only tried the vodka flavored ice cream, which was good actually! I also sampled an ice cream sandwich.
The two girls working there at the time were really friendly, too. :)

Ok since I’ve been here multiple times now I think a review is in order. I have never been disappointed with their ice cream. Their flavors are creative and oh so yummy. My faves are the Thai Tea, Corn, and Brownie batter. The brownie batter recipe recently changed. The old batter had more brownie pieces and the new batter is more chocolatey. Both were equally delish. Parking can be a pain being that there is only street parking, but driving around the block multiple times for their amazing treats are well worth it. Haven’t tried the Pan de Crème yet but it’s definitely on my next up list. So if u haven’t tried Lucy’s Lab yet, drop what you’re doing and get your ice scream fix on NOW!

Ummmm… yum! This is a tiny crack of a shop that always has lineups put the door (seriously– only 3 – 4 people can fit in it at a time). Luckily we went riiiight before closing so no lines.
I got the moscato/​strawberry ice cream. This was delicious! Slightly sweet but you could taste the moscato coming out. My friend got the vanilla laced with alcohol (can’t remember what) and fruit loops on top. His was ok… mine was better.
If you are looking for ordinary flavours… well just skip on by here. If you want unique and weird combinations then for sure stop by.

One of my favorite spots to get a sweet treat! They’re always changing up their ice cream flavors, so I love sampling all the new flavors whenever I come in. This time they had CORN flavored ice cream… Not bad at all! They’re super creative and different which I love!
Customer service has always been on point here. The girls are so sweet and so patient with everyone (it can get busy in here, but you don’t see them rushing anyone). Ice cream is weighed before payment and the girls always get customer’s approval of the size of the scoops before placing them in a cup, cone or in between those warm buns!

Came here a few times now to try some of their rather interesting flavors. Bacon Whisky, Buttered Popcorn, and Fruit Loop Vodka just to name a few. Unlike some other places, you could definitely tell that the flavor you were eating was what you ordered.
I’m a HUGE whisky fan, so can you guess what flavor I got first? You could definitely taste and feel the bits of bacon inside, but more importantly, you could really taste the whisky (minus the alcohol of course). It tasted kind of like a bourbon as it was a sweeter whisky with no smokey taste at all, but it definitely complimented the bacon. I also sampled their fruit loop vodka and buttered popcorn and they were also winners. The popcorn one was quite interesting, kind of hard to explain, but I’d definitely get it.
The location is small and tucked away, but definitely a gem. There’s usually a line out the door, but only a half a dozen or so people can fit inside anyway so don’t be afraid if you see people waiting outside. Parking is limited to the street of the Ward parking structure if you don’t mind a short two block walk. Would definitely recommend this place for both the adventurous and ice cream lover alike

Hidden gem in Waikiki! Very creative & delicious flavors!
Fruit Loop Vodka: This immediately caught my attention. So good! The vodka is very subtle & topped off with Fruit Loops.
Honey Lavender: Seriously the best Lavender ice cream I have ever tasted! The lavender is strong just the way I like it because with other lavender ice creams, it is just way too subtle. The honey gives it a boost of sweetness. I highly recommend!
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Pan de Crème: Have you ever been to Afters Ice Cream in Orange County? We have. But this one wins! Delicious ice cream inside sweet bread. The reason why I like this one better is because the bread is firmer so it holds the ice cream better, is hollowed out more so you do not feel unnecessarily full due to carb overload, & the bread is much sweeter.
Shout out to the friendly & sweet worker who helped us out from San Francisco!

Lucy’s is a great spot to support local business and get your ice cream fix. They have unique flavors like vodka grout fruit loop (bring on the liquor!), Thai tea, lavender, etc.
They also have fun toppings like cereal you can put on, and then pay by weight. Though a little pricey the flavors are great and they have Pandora disney playing sometimes inside the shop (Disneyphiles unite!).
Unfortunately there’s only a small bench outside to eat your ice cream on, and inside has standing room for a tightly packed 6 ppl ordering, so it’s best to stand around. ??? :/​I wish they would bring back the bacon whiskey flavor, that was a real winner! I eventually gotta try their pan de crème ice cream sandwiches, they seem to be very popular.

Great service for the young girl working on the Wednesday night we stopped by.
She was friendly upbeat and informative.
You gave us a great experience by letting us try most of the flavors and recommending great combinations!

Lucy’s Lab is in a prime location in Kaka’ako, down the street from the Ward theater. With lots of eateries in the area, a movie theater and lots of shopping, who can say no to a refreshing treat after a long day or a date night with the bu? I have my moments where I need to have ice cream mainly because I’m always dieting and I just want to satisfy my sweet tooth.
What makes Lucy’s stand out are their unique and exotic flavors. Don’t expect to find your basic flavors here or a broad menu, as their menu is very limited but their flavors are innovative and interesting. You get to sample the flavors before you decide, so I tried pretty much all of them. Some of their flavors sound weird, but actually taste really good. My favorites so far are the Honey Lavender, Fruit Loop Vodka, Thai Tea and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
How to order:
1) Choose your flavor (*flavors may change; Bacon Whiskey, Fruit Loop Vodka, Nutella Honey Lavender, Strawberry Moscato sorbet, Thai Tea, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Corn)
2) Scoop ice cream (keiki size: 2−3oz, regular size: 3−5oz; $ 1/scoop)-cup, sugar cone or cake cone OR Pan de Crème (Hawaiian sweet roll + ice cream + topping + spread: peanut butter, nutella, strawberry, guava or grape) $ 5.50
3) Optional: Add toppings to your ice cream (pan de crème already comes with it)
On my first visit, I tried their Fruit Loop Vodka Pan de Crème. I liked the flavor of my ice cream, and the pan de crème concept was interesting, but my ice cream melted so fast, it tasted like milk and bread with strawberry jam and fruit loops. On my next visit, I just ordered a simple 1 regular scoop Cinnamon Toast Crunch in a cup. My total came out to $ 4.02! I was a bit taken back by how expensive that came out. When they weigh it, it’s not just the ice cream they’re weighing, but the cup, the spoon and the napkin. But hearing they donate some of their proceeds to the Breast Cancer Research, I guess at least their expensive pricing is going to a good cause.
There’s no parking lot for this establishment, but being it’s in the Ward area, you could simply just walk over from wherever you are or try to find street parking near the shop. Lucy’s is a very tiny shop, so once you pay, you’ll want to step out the shop as it can get pretty crowded in there. As for their sitting area, there are only 2 wooden benches outside. That’s about it, unless you don’t mind standing and eating. I wouldn’t suggest grabbing and going as their ice cream tends to melt fairly quickly.
If you’re all for experimenting new and exotic flavors, then I would highly suggest checking out Lucy’s Lab Creamery (no pun intended lol). And it’s always a great feeling to not only support local, but support a business that has a mission that helps out our community!

I’ve been wanting to check out this place and thank God I did. Just had the best ice cream sandwich ever.
You can try all the flavors which is cool and when you order there ice cream sandwich you can put as many toppings u want.
I got Thai tea ice cream with sprinkles, oreos, cornflakes, cinnamon toast crunch, crushed cones and guava jelly.
They toast the sandwich a bit to make it crispy. Seriously I think I devoured it in 2 minutes.
A must try for sure, you’ll thank me later

If you are in the need for an ice cream fix and want to skip the run of the mill Coldstone or Ben and Jerry’s, take a quick stroll to Lucy’s lab. You won’t be sorry!
Lucy’s has unique flavors like corn, Thai tea, and Nutella. They also do ice cream stuffed buns of some sort that are mouth watering. Since we just finished stuffing our face at Agu, there was no room for a ice cream sammie. My boyfriend and I opted for our own scoops of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Fruit Loops Vodka (side note: who the heck shares ice cream?! The key to a healthy relationship is having your own single scoop to yourself. Trust me!). They weigh the ice cream on a scale so no set prices as everything is by the ounce.
Rated Lucy’s lab four stars because there was a strange fart smell in the shop. After we left they propped the door open, not sure what was up with that. Despite the smell, it was worth the walk to digest some of our dinner and make way for a delicious dessert!

Maybe it’s because I came at night, maybe it was the weird smell, or maybe it was the limited selection… Maybe I read too much hype. I’m not sure what it was, but I was not wowed like I thought I’d be.
Reading the reviews and thinking about the fun flavors made me think that a trip to Lucy’s would be a creamy adventure, the flavors dancing on my tongue as my friends and I encountered flavors never tried before. When we got there the flavors were unique, but no spark happened.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s good ice cream. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch was cinnamony and sweet. The Thai tea was sweet and fragrant. The lavender and honey was refreshing in a way. All of them were creamy…
For me, ice cream is about the experience and that just was not there.

Nice shop if you like really unique flavors. After trying I realized I’m more of a fan of traditional flavors, but I could still appreciate the creativity.
The flavors are «weird» to me, and I’m not a fan of how out there they taste, but they do taste very authentic which is very cool! (lavender honey, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, etc.)
Big gripe was that it melted way too fast. Something about the formula of the ice cream had my cone dripping as soon as I stepped outside the door.

First time here. Our friends wanted ice cream and this was the first thing in mind. Nice little ice cream place in town (Kamakee Street). I’ve been wanting to try this place out because of the homemade ice cream flavors.
Flavors such as Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Corn, Fruit Loop Vodka, Nutella, and so much more. Interesting flavors right? You can also choose toppings! Another thing they offer is Pan de Crème which is pandesal with ice cream. Gotta try it next time!
Shop: tiny little hole in the wall ice cream joint. Fits about 4 – 5 people inside, not for a big group of people. It’s literally in and out once you get your ice cream. They have one bench outside where you can sit while enjoying your ice cream. Filtered water is available inside the store.
Parking: being that it’s in town… gotta find a street parking.
Price: It’s $ 1 per ounce with cone/​cup available in keiki scoop or regular scoop. $ 5.50 for the Pan de Crème.
If you haven’t been, check it out and try out these homemade ice cream! Very original flavors and toppings. Only thing we noticed about the ice cream was they they melt pretty fast. But other than that, love the flavors they offer.

On a cold, windy day I finally got to try Lucy’s Creamery. I was lucky enough to get a free street parking across the street. Shame on me, I did jay walk. I do not recommend jay walking.
It is a tiny place. You can nicely fit 4 or 5 people. So if you’re in a group don’t go in all at once. Always use your good manners.
I tried their honey lavender in a keiki scoop size of golf ball. It was $ 2 something. Not too bad. As for the taste, it was like getting a vanilla flavor except the sweetness was just right and no after taste and yet very creamy. I expected to taste some floweriness but hardly any.
Good service too! The clerk offer me samples right away. I liked the honey lavender so much I didn’t want to try anymore flavors. So I must return to try more flavors near future.

I had da honor of hangin’ wid’ da FAMOUS Auntie da oddah night!
We was eating at Peace Café when she wen’ tell me…“Eh, bruddah Fran… you like go eat Ice Cream?” And I’m like… Ice Cream? BING! BING! BING!
So after eating at Peace Café, we headed down to the Kakaako area to this place called Lucy’s Lab Creamery.
Lucy’s is a very small ice cream parlor, located just next door from the long time, well known –Harry’s Café (known for their inexpensive breakfast).
The unique thing about Lucy’s Lab Creamery is that they make ice cream flavors that are out of the ordinary.
For instance, they had exotic flavors like —
1. Thai Tea
2. Fruit Loop Vodka
3. Cola
4. Corn
5. Pumpkin Spice
6. Nutella
7. Whiskey Bacon
8. Cinnamon Toast Crunch
9. Honey Lavender
10. Strawberry Moscato
That night when I went with Auntie, I decided to try a scoop of Fruit Loop Vodka, and Auntie proceeded to complete her mission of trying all the ice cream flavors that Lucy’s made, so she tried a keiki scoop of Cola, Corn, Nutella, & Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
What can I say about the ice cream? Not bad at all… I guess I’m a boring guy, cuz most times I just eat plain vanilla, chocolate, or mint chocolate chip. Having booze in my ice cream is really not my thing, but since the Fruit Loop Vodka was the closest thing to vanilla ice cream, I elected to give it a try.
What can I say about the Fruit Loop Vodka? Fruit Loops = Good! Vodka Vanilla Ice Cream = No bad! Like I said before, I like plain unmolested ice cream, but with the Vodka inside, it wasn’t bad at all… you could taste a slight hint of booze, but at least it wasn’t overpowering.
As for Auntie, I was just happy for her that she completed her mission of trying all the flavors of ice cream here! Does she like ice cream? Ummmmmm, I think so! Lol!
I gotta tell you about his place… I was told from friends that the owner of this ice cream shop donates some proceeds of his ice cream sales for Breast Cancer Research, as the owner’s mom had passed away from breast cancer. Please support this local business, as their mission is a great cause!
There is no parking here, and if you choose to come here, best bet is to look for metered parking. I did not have any issues with parking on the street, as I came here at night.
Also, this ice cream parlor is really small, therefore if you go inside to get your ice cream, there is no place to sit inside. They do have (2) small wooden benches outside, but that’s about it, so if you come here to eat ice cream, just expect to grab & go.
That night when I came with Auntie, we were the last two customers there, and as we sat on the wooden bench talkin’ story… I felt bad, as the young girl who was closing up the shop had waited for us to leave (the store closes at 9:30 PM), as she had to take in the wooden benches. Before you know it, it was almost 10:30 PM, so she finally came out & politely asked us if she could take in the benches? I told her, «I’m so sorry, why didn’t you just let us know?» Because Auntie & I were having a good time. I then proceeded to carry both wooden benches into the store (that’s the least I could do, right?) for the girl.
What a cool little ice cream shop! If you like or wanna try different flavor ice cream, may I suggest Lucy’s Lab Creamery!

Let’s have some ice cream — it’s for a good cause.. Breast Cancer Research!
The owner and his partner opened this shop a couple of years ago in the growing and booming District of Kaka’ako, in the City of Honolulu, on the Island of Oahu, in the State of Hawaii. When I heard that some of the profit goes to Breast Cancer Research, I wanted to support this local business even more! When I found out that the workers are college students and the tip jar goes to their college fund — I was all in!
I finally realized that this ice cream shop is my favorite — not only because it’s a tribute to Lucy, the owner’s mom who passed away from Breast Cancer, but also because it brings «mainland flavors» to Hawaii. I really appreciate the effort and concept! Some ice cream shops on the mainland have REALLY far out flavors. I have eaten ice cream infused with Goat Cheese, Flowers, vegetables, and even Insects! Yes! The first time my LA friends took me to a shop with «different» varieties, I was kind of shocked and it took me a while to order! LOL!
Now that I have been «educated in» or «exposed to» ice cream cuisine, I had a secret goal to eat every flavor at Lucy’s Lab Creamery, my new favorite ice cream shop… and my dream came true last night with the help of Bruddah Fran! Tanks, eh, Brah, fo’ keeping me company!
The newest flavors are Cola — which is like a Coke Float — and Corn — which is like kettle corn, except it’s smooth and creamy! Please don’t ask me what my favorite flavor is — they are all good to me. Thai Tea, Pumpkin Spice, Nutella, Whiskey Bacon, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruit Loop Vodka, Honey Lavender, Strawberry Moscato — yum yum!!! I haven’t had the Pan de Crème which is ice cream inside a Hawaiian sweet roll, like a sandwich. I just like my ice cream plain — in a cup or a sugar cone, please!
There are different sized scoops (keiki is the smallest) and you could even have a double scoop! Just pay $ 1 per ounce — it’s all good! You could add on toppings like Froot Loop cereal or Oreo cookies — those are added into the total weight. It’s just more fun!
Parking is on the street, in a metered stall. You could come after shopping at the Ward Center where parking is free, or come after 6:30pm when street parking is also free!
The shop is quite small, so after ordering, just sit outside on the bench and relax! They bring the benches inside when they close, so they won’t walk away… Bruddah Fran should get paid for helping close up shop! Good job, brah! Let’s go again!
