This is not strictly a restaurant as their whole menu is ice cream-based! It is however still a fantastic place to visit. Opened in April 2015, this was the first of its kind in Berlin. Their selection of vegan ice creams includes traditional favourites such as chocolate and vanilla. There’s also new favourites such as lime-basil and peanut crunch. Be sure to stop in and discover new flavours.
