Nicoco Hawaiian Gelato

4.7(216 reviews)

About

Found on Hawaii (Big Island), Nicoco Hawaiian Gelato sits at 185 Kilauea Ave, Hilo, HI 96720, United States, on the island's windward eastern side. Reaching it from the main resorts takes some planning, since the Kona and Kohala Coast hotel areas lie on the opposite side of the island and Hilo is a cross-island drive away. Within Hilo itself, the address is central and easy to work into a walk around town.

As an ice cream shop, Nicoco Hawaiian Gelato serves frozen treats in a town that sees plenty of rain and warm, humid days. The shop is known for its gelato, and customers clearly respond well to it: a 4.7 out of 5 average across 216 reviews is a high mark for a small dessert counter. That review total is large for Hilo, suggesting a following that extends beyond the immediate neighbourhood.

Opening hours run Tu,Fr,Sa 12:00-19:00, so a visit needs to fall on one of those three days. A website at http://instagram.com/nicocohawaiiangelato carries the shop's own updates. Nearby Volcano lies inland to the south-west, up the slope of the island.

Hawaii has a wetter season from November to March and a drier season from April to October, and Hilo's rainfall makes the drier months the easier time to walk the town. Spam, rice and macaroni salad appear widely in home cooking and lunch plates, so a savoury meal before dessert is easy to find. Hawaiian culture includes hula dance, oli chants and the voyaging traditions of Polynesian navigators.
