Hokey Pokey LA

Never had New Zealand ice cream before but this was so good. It had such great flavours and didn’t feel heavy like regular ice cream. Loved this.

A little pricy, but the ice cream was good. (It reminded me more of soft serve.) The size of a small cone is decent, and was the right portion. Overall, it's sweet but not too sweet and the addition of candied fruit for the Orange Chocolate was perfect.

This place is awesome!!! I had the pleasure of meeting some lovely staff today. My husband and I ordered waffle cones, I ordered the hazelnut and original both are extremely yummy! The pavlova melts in your mouth, so worth the price!

Their ice cream has a special creamy taste and texture unlike anything I’ve had. The portion is just right, and the spot has such good vibes.

Honey Pokey LA, located at Westfield Century City Mall, offers a delightful take on New Zealand’s beloved Hokey Pokey ice cream, a flavor invented in 1953 that’s become their signature. This isn’t your typical soft serve—it’s crafted in-store, to-order, using premium Californian ice cream or a non-dairy base that’s impressively rich and creamy, closely mimicking the real deal. The Hokey Pokey itself is a standout, blending light, crunchy golden toffee (made fresh in-house) into a smooth, velvety soft serve that’s both nostalgic and indulgent. What sets Honey Pokey LA apart is their commitment to freshness and customization. Every flavor, dairy or non-dairy, is blended on the spot, resulting in a richer, creamier texture than standard soft serve. The non-dairy option is a pleasant surprise, delivering a robust flavor that doesn’t feel like a compromise, though they note potential traces of dairy due to the blending process, so those with severe allergies should take caution. Speaking of allergies, they’re transparent about nuts being used on-site, which is a thoughtful heads-up. Overall, Honey Pokey LA delivers a unique, high-quality dessert experience with a fun nod to New Zealand’s ice cream heritage. The Hokey Pokey is a must-try for its perfect balance of sweet, toffee crunch and creamy softness. If you’re at the mall, it’s a fantastic spot to satisfy your sweet tooth!
