Finally got to stop-by & savoured the plant-based Simply ono, rich, dreamy-creamy, smooth…I’d never miss regular
Had a lil talk story w/the lovely owner/founder lady, had to ask her to open a store or two in Oahu…so I won’t need to interisland travel for her delicious treat

Loved it! Daughter with allergies to soy, eggs, dairy, gluten, and nuts was able to get pretty much anything she wanted and in a freshly made WAFFLE CONE! Huge win for traveling with food allergies. Everything is made fresh in shop so they know their product. Definitely worth a stop, but only open a couple days a week.

Their local made gelato was delicious and served with a smile. Full disclosure I am not a vegan or vegetarian and was a little apprehensive about trying this vegan gelato. We sampled a few flavors and they were all fabulous. I highly recommend this treat in Hilo Hawaii.

This is the best gelato I have ever had in my life. The apple pie was amazing and tasted like an apple crumble over vanilla ice cream, the red velvet tasted like cake and was perfect with the waffle cone which stayed warm the whole time and never cracked! The fact this is vegan and gluten free is a welcomed bonus and very inclusive of everyone. The kids play area was such a nice touch and made the experience way bette for my family. You feel the magic in this place!

DO NOT COME HERE if you’re ASIAN.
The young lady working at the front on Tuesday around 4 PM was extremely rude.
When my husband and I walked in, there was a group tasting samples on the left, and a girl waiting for her ice cream on the right. I stood at the counter to look at the flavors while waiting.
The staff member was “clearly busy”, but several minutes went by and she never once greeted us or even acknowledged our presence.
After she finally finished rolling the ice cream and checking out the girl on the right, I said hi — but instead of looking at me, she immediately turned to the group on the left with a big smile and started chatting with them, as if my husband and I, the only two Asians in the shop — were invisible.
I don’t care how the ice cream tastes, but Hicoco Hawaiian Gelato seriously needs to improve its staff training. No matter someone’s race or gender, everyone deserves the same level of service.
Too bad. I usually leave a tip for takeout, but not only did she lose that tip, I’ll also be warning other Asians visiting Hilo to stay away from this place.

This great little gelato shop is tucked into a small store front in downtown Hilo. A small space with super friendly service. Nice selection of plant based and vegan gelatos. The homemade waffle cone was delicious and we had the chocolate and pistachio which were both wonderful

A must enjoy when in Hilo. We went twice in 3 days! Excellent flavors – always something new and unique. Best made to order waffle cones! Owner-operated. Shop local!

Delicious gelato!! Best part is that my daughter with food allergies can eat here! 100% Vegan, GF and organic! The make each cone fresh to order! Super cute inside too. No place to sit and eat so you’ll need to take it on the go. We would definitely return.

A must visit Gelato place when coming to Hilo! A phenomenal choice of flavors to choose from and plus their cones are made on site as well! Not the cheap ones that come in plastic bags. When you walk in this quiet quaint place, you get the feel that there’s a lot of love and patience given when making arguably the best desert known to man. You HAVE to try it. You won’t regret it

Enjoyed our visit to Nicoco and great option for anyone who is dairy free! The flavors were tasty and felt homemade. Wound up going with the Lilikoi and the chocolate sea salt. Nice place to stop by if you’re in the area.
