This is the signature flavor — vanilla studded with lumps of honeycomb that provide sharp sweetness and audible crunch. Reviewers describe it as 'like heaven' and worth waiting in line even on the hottest days. The honeycomb is made in-house and is perfectly calibrated to avoid being chalky.
Tips from diners
This is the flavor to try — reviewers consistently call it the best. Don't overthink your choice.
Come on hot days around 3-4pm when the queue is longest, but it moves fast — don't let the line deter you.
Brown butter brings depth and a slightly toasted edge to this flavor. The almonds are roasted in-house and remain crisp rather than soft. A whisper of sea salt balances the richness without making the flavor salty. It's more refined than the sweetness-forward Hokey Pokey but equally memorable.

Since opening, Eispatisserie Hokey Pokey has been making ice cream with high-quality ingredients under owner Niko Robert. The shop was named Berlin's best ice cream parlor by Feinschmecker magazine in 2020 and ranked in Germany's top 15. Lines form on warm days and flavors rotate seasonally, with Hokey Pokey (honeycomb) and brown butter almond standing out as signature creations.
On hot days, expect a line — but it moves quickly and the flavors are worth the wait. Come mid-afternoon rather than peak evening.
This is a takeaway-only shop — there's no seating inside, but you can eat standing or bring it to a nearby bench.
Staff speak English and German. Flavors rotate, so ask what's available. Not every published flavor is made daily.
