Berliners love their ice cream and with so many ice cream shops in the city to choose from I though I’d point you towards some of my favourites with my 6 of the Best Berlin Ice Cream Shops list. Eis Saison (ice cream season) is a big deal in Berlin. Around the end of February […]
JONES Ice Cream – Ice Cream and Cookies of (a) Champion(s)
At JONES Ice Cream, an impressive selection of ice cream flavours, including some booze inspired creations, is backed up by a range of heavenly cookies. According to the ‘About the Chef’ section of the JONES website, owner Gabrielle Jones ‘fell into a pot of chocolate around the age of 8’ so it is perhaps fate […]
Anna Durkes – Sweet Little Eis
Berlin, believe it or not, can be oppressively hot and sticky in summer.

Owners, Anna Luisa and her husband Giorgio […]
Fräulein Frost – Ice Cream That Gives You Chills

There is an extensive range of ice cream and Lactose-free sorbets on offer, including a selected […]
Gelateria Mos Eisley
Gelateria Mos Eisley in Neukölln was one of my favourite ice cream discoveries in Berlin last summer.

[…]
Hokey Pokey – Ice Cream of Dreams
It’s the last day of February, the sun is shining and Eissaison (ice cream season) is about to start. No, you’re not dreaming, this is real life. Hokey Pokey, one of the most popular and in my opinion one of best Eisläden (ice cream parlours) in Berlin reopens on 28 February for its 2015 run. […]
