HYPEND x 3 Kaveria Ice Cream: Our Sweetest Partnership Yet and a Visit to Their Ice Cream Factory
*Paid partnership with 3 Kaveria*
With great anticipation, we are thrilled to announce the culmination of our latest and most delightful agency partnership yet: 3 Kaveria Ice Cream. From the moment we first hinted at this collaboration earlier this year, the excitement has been palpable. The foundation of this partnership is built on shared values, a mutual passion for excellence, and an unwavering commitment to delivering unparalleled experiences.
Located just some kilometers away from our HYPEND Showroom, in the idyllic neighborhood of Kivikko in Helsinki, 3 Kaveria's dedication to handcrafting their artisanal ice cream is a testament to their unwavering pursuit of perfection. This factory defies the conventional notion of an ice cream production facility. What sets it apart is not only its unique location but also its transformation from a humble grassroots operation into a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient facility. One of the remarkable features of the 3 Kaveria production facility is its commitment to sustainability. Adorned with solar panels on its roof, the factory harnesses the power of the sun to meet its energy needs. Moreover, the entire site operates solely on renewable energy sources, further exemplifying 3 Kaveria's dedication to environmental consciousness.
The Hypend x 3 Kaveria Itä-Helsinki Field Trip for Vintage Video Games and an Ice Cream Factory Visit
To commemorate 3 Kaveria's 10th anniversary, they have decided to organize a special event—a drive-in factory sale. We took our partnership to the next level by embarking on a fun-filled field trip with friends and fellow social media creators to explore the vibrant and nostalgic side of Itä-Helsinki. Together with 3 Kaveria, our day was filled with exciting activities, starting with a trip to Sugoi, a haven for vintage Japanese video game enthusiasts. We then made our way to the 3 Kaveria factory sale pop-up shop, where we discovered an array of mouthwatering ice cream flavors that delighted both our taste buds and our inner child.
Sugoi: Unleashing the Retro Gamer Within
Our first stop was Sugoi, located in Malmi. We were instantly transported back in time as we stepped into the arcade. The air buzzed with excitement as we surrounded ourselves with rows of classic Japanese video game machines, each radiating a nostalgic charm. With competitive spirits ignited, we battled it out in beloved titles like Pac-Man, Street Fighter, and the dance game that everyone played in the 90s. Laughter, cheers, and the clattering of arcade buttons filled the space, making Sugoi an unforgettable experience for any gaming enthusiast.
3 Kaveria: A Flavorsome Ice Cream Haven
After our dose of retro gaming, we headed to the much-anticipated 3 Kaveria factory sale pop-up shop. As we entered the cold but inviting factory space, we were greeted by the happy and smiling staff and a dazzling display of ice cream flavors. Our excitement grew as we browsed through the array of options, which included both beloved classics and intriguing new creations. (Unfortunately, due to the classified nature of the equipment used to craft some of the most innovative ice creams in the world, we don’t have photos from the factory but believe us: it was just as cool as one would expect an ice cream factory to be!)
The innovative offerings from 3 Kaveria pushed the boundaries of traditional ice cream flavors. Our taste buds were tantalized by the vibrant and refreshing strawberry-basil, the unique blend of licorice, and the delightful combination of strawberry and vanilla. We couldn't resist indulging in the decadent salt-fudge flavor, and the unexpected pairing of peanut and banana surprised us with its delightful fusion of sweet and nutty goodness.
Our field trip to Itä-Helsinki was a delightful and nostalgic adventure, made possible by the generosity of 3 Kaveria. Visiting Sugoi allowed us to relive the magic of vintage Japanese video games, while the 3 Kaveria factory sale pop-up shop offered an unforgettable ice cream experience that pleased both our taste buds and our inner child.
The combination of these two activities created a day filled with laughter, joy, and a sense of community. We were fortunate to document and share these unique experiences with our wider community, spreading the joy of exploration, nostalgia, and delicious indulgence.
If you find yourself in Itä-Helsinki, don't miss the opportunity to visit Sugoi and immerse yourself in the world of vintage gaming. And the next time 3 Kaveria hosts a similar pop-up shop, be sure to treat yourself to the innovative and delectable ice cream flavors at the 3 Kaveria factory sale – an experience that will surely leave you with a taste of nostalgia and a smile on your face.
