Decent

Decent. Not much more to be said. I had coffee, matcha and charcoal, which is the most un-child friendly ice cream selection of all time

The perfect ice cream for a humid day

I got the matcha and the mint chocolate chip ice cream. The latter one was the BOMB!

Pros: A variety of flavours, Staff was very friendly

Cons: They still use honey for some flavours :'(

Nice

Very clean and stylish ice cream shop. The staff is extremely kind and friendly. Also very helpful with vegan questions. You can sit inside and outside.

The ice cream was OKAY (my taste). Not really “creamy”.

Pros: Cool atmosphere , Very friendly staff , Outside seating is available

Cons: Only 4 flavors are vegan, Not really creamy (watery)

Nice, friendly staff in a clean shop

Most flavors have honey so ask for the ones that don’t. The staff understood the word “vegan.”

I noticed they marked the flavors that had alcohol.

Today they had four flavors without honey, vanilla, coffee, charcoal and chai.

I asked for samples of all and got the chocolate and chai with golden raisins as a topping and ate everything outside. Very nice! Well worth a stop if you are in the kitasando area

Worth a visit

[Sweets Shop Review: Kippy’s Coco Cream] English below👇 原宿にある『キッピーズココクリーム』に行きました。
ココナッツミルクで作られたアイスクリームで、乳製品は不使用ですが、ハチミツを使われているものが大半を占めています。

今回注文したのは『デーツコーヒー』と『デーツシナモン』(二種で¥500)です。

値段相応の美味しさでしたが、何故他の商品にはハチミツを入れているのか疑問でなりません。
私がヴィーガンになる前に食べたハチミツはクセがあり、独特の風味が好きではありませんでした。

もちろん好きな人もいるかも知れませんが、メープルシロップやアガベネクターなどを用いればクセも少なく、ヴィーガンの対応もできるのに、とてももったいないと思いました。

機会があればどうぞ。

We paid a visit to Kippy’s Coco Cream, a completely dairy-free ice cream shop located not far from Kita Sando station. Apparently this shop only has two locations in the world: the original in Venice Beach, California, and this one.

It’s great that all of the ice cream is completely dairy-free, but we were disappointed by the fact that most of the flavors use honey. There were only three vegan flavors available that day: coffee, cinnamon, and matcha. The staff were very nice and spoke fluent English, and let us taste some flavors before we decided.

I got matcha and coffee (500 yen for two scoops). Both were good, and they definitely taste healthy. Personally, I prefer my ice cream to be a little sweeter, though.

The interior of the shop was very modern, with a juice bar also inside the building. If you like sweets that aren’t too sweet, this place should hit the spot.

Pros: Tasty and healthy , Nice vibe

Cons: Not many vegan options

Great ice cream spot!

While I was visiting Tokyo it was within walking distance from Shibuya and had lots of great vegan flavors and toppings like walnuts and cocoa nibs. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

Pros: Everything’s vegan except honey flavors, Beautiful place, Unusual and delicious flavors

Cons: A bit expensive

Average ice cream

Californian-style healthy gelato shop, I tried the only two vegan flavours they had (without honey: coffee and cocoa). There is definitely better gelato out there.

Cool!

Really loved the vibe of this place. Very chilled and laid back Californian decor and lovely welcoming staff. There were a couple of vegan options (for those who avoid raw honey) although the ice cream is all dairy free, so if you do eat honey then you will be spoilt for choice! I enjoyed the vanilla date flavour with cacao nibs, hemp seeds and mulberries. The ice cream is made with dates and coconut milk, so isn’t overpoweringly sweet or filling. Really tasty, refreshing and healthy. Will definitely come back.

Ice cream date?

Classy parlour that looks like it could be a high end clothes or glasses store. When I went there, there were only two flavours that were vegan: vanilla dates and coffee dates. As their names suggest, they are sweetened with dates. (All their other are bee-gan and dairy free, as they sweeten the rest of their flavours with raw honey.) Their honey is sourced from USA but no clue as to whether it's from small apiaries or mass produced. Good for killing your craving and those who are curious but if you want the real deal go for Premarche gelateria in Naka-meguro, as Michael Robinson below mentioned.

Pros: Bee-gan

Cons: Bit pricey, too few vegan choices

Oh honey!

Using the Happy Cow app and Google maps, we were outside the disappointing San Francisco Peaks when this place showed up as nearby, a very kind Japanese woman overheard our debate on whether to our hunt for burgers on hold and get ice cream, and she offered to take us there, the decision was made. It's a nice place on a main road with not too many seats inside, but the staff were very friendly and helpful. Sadly the choices for vegans were pretty limited as most of their ice creams contain honey! I opted for the coffee and coconut ones with a topping of spiced nuts, they were really tasty and they have free coffee on tap to help combat the brain freeze. Good but not as good as Premarche Gelateria which had more vegan options.

Pros: Free coffee.

Cons: Too few vegan options., Honey.

Great flavors!

The raspberry and cinnamon were my favorites, although I also tried the coconut honey and vanilla date and those were very good too. The staff was really sweet and they gave a small free coffee sample to enjoy with our ice cream. It was a nice little break from the Harajuku madness :)

Pros: Decent price, Friendly staff, Lots of flavors

Cons: The salted honey caramel tastes like pure honey

Delicious icecream

I went for two different flavours and they were both very good. Not too sweet which is always appreciated. Not cheap but worth the price. The shop had a nice interior also.

Pros: Matcha ice-cream , Healthy ish treat

Cons: Honey in most ice creams, Not cheap

Extremely tasty!!

It might be a little bit of a walk but it is 100% worth it! The ice cream is so creamy and smooth, and the staff are lovely! I also love their use of chilled ceramic bowls and normal spoons as opposed to cheap plastic, really makes a difference!

Pros: VERY tasty ice cream, lovely staff

Cons: a little bit of a walk

Not many choices but lovely ice cream

Only 3 choices, as the other 8 flavours contained honey. The flavours available were coffee, chocolate and vanilla. We had the chocolate and coffee and they were beautiful. Very unique tasting and I really enjoyed it.
We could taste test with silver spoons and the ice cream came with proper bowls and spoons which, as a person who tries to be zero-minimal waste/plastic, I loved.
Hopefully they get rid of honey off their menu, and they’ll get 5 stars!

Pros: Lovely taste, Eco friendly, Nice staff

Cons: Small scoops, Honey in most flavours

not all vegan

Only few options without honey. Very cute store with coloured ceramic bowls. Bit of a walk from the main spot of Harajuku.

Awesome little taste of home

I'm from Venice beach and the original Kippy's is a popular spot for me and other locals. I was curious how close this second (and only other) location would be to the original... very! It tastes just like home.

Every flavor and topping is vegan except those with honey or bee pollen, which are clearly marked. They don't speak English but can understand enough to give you a sample and take your order!

I recommend the coffee & date paired with the cinnamon and adding candied pecans and salted caramel on top. Yum!

Excellent icecream

The flavors with honey are clearly labeled, so no worries about making a mistake. The date-cinnamon flavor was incredible!

Pros: Really creamy icecream

Cons: A bit of a walk from the station
