After nearly a month of social media "teasing," Lucy’s Lab Creamery will officially open at noon today with everything offered at half price from 5 to 9 p.m. Expect a line.
It was worth the wait for flavors like Nutella, sea salt caramel and delicate Earl Grey. There are only seven flavors available to date, and although parents might think of ice cream as a keiki-friendly treat, some flavors are definitely for the 21-and-older crowd, such as bacon whiskey. Fruit Loop vodka also has kid appeal with its candy-colored cereal topping — but make no mistake, it delivers a potent kick that has thrown adults for a loop.
The ice cream is sold by weight at $1 per ounce. For those who have no conception of what an ounce of food entails, a cup each of keiki and regular-size scoops added up to $6.
Ice cream maker Lee Wang is a Realtor in his other life, but he was moved to open up the shop in memory of his late mother, Lucy. A portion of sales will go toward breast cancer charities.
After today, hours will be noon to 9 p.m. Thursdays to Sundays. Follow Lucy’s Lab Creamery on Facebook or @LucysLabHi on Twitter for updates.
Lucy’s Lab Creamery is at 435 Kamakee St.
