Nicoco

Nicoco Hawaii's favorite vegan gelato! Winner of Best of East Hawaii 5 years in a row! Aloha! Thank you for trying Nicoco! We hope you enjoy Nicoco as much as we do!

We are a young vegan couple with a passion for eating and preparing raw, local foods, that nourish the soul body and mind. Our quest for healthier, more sustainable living, brought us to Hawaii where we started Nicoco, to fill the cone shaped hole in our hearts for a delicious, decadent but healthy and local treat. Our philosophy of eating locally harvested food led us to the colorful farm markets

of Big Island where we can be found throughout the week. We create all of our gelatos and sorbets in small batches right here in Kalapana, using all natural, locally sourced vegan ingredients and fresh, in season, organic locally harvested fruits, herbs and flowers. We start with a creamy coconut base to produce signature flavors inspired by Hawaii and island living. We have a flare for the exotic in flavors that range from truly rich to airy and subtler notes that linger on your pallet. Love,
Sean, Ashley & Nico

🍋✨Lemon Sorbetto Dreams✨🍋

Bright like a Hawaiian sunrise, bold like Sicilian zest — our Lemon Sorbetto is a citrusy kiss from two islands we love. Made with fresh local lemons and inspired by the traditional sorbetto al limone of Sicily, it’s light, tart, and perfectly refreshing.

This simple, clean flavor is pure sunshine — dairy-free, vegan, and handcrafted with aloha in Hilo. 💛🌿

Come cool off the island way… with a scoop of lemon magic. 🌞🇮🇹🌺
