Ice cream, you scream we all scream for ice cream!  But where does one find the best ice cream in Frankfurt??  And, which is the best ice cream shop??

Cone or cup?  Scoop or Soft serve?  Ice cream or Sorbet? Sprinkles or no sprinkles?  Decisions decisions!!  With so many choices, we decided to hit the streets with our esteemed panel of judges (no one a critic like two eight and one 6-year-old) and get you the inside scoop.  To think, when we were kids, it was vanilla or chocolate, and if you were lucky, you could have both!!!! 

It should be noted if you are new to Frankfurt or Germany, the Germans are passionate about Eis!!  And you will no doubt realise this when you find an ice cream shop on almost every corner!

Importantly, we wanted to give you a variety of what we think are the best ice cream shops in Frankfurt. So, without further ado, here are our top ice cream picks.

Best Ice Cream Shops in Frankfurt

Bizziice

With a number of ‘The Great Taste Awards’ to add to their name Bizziice, is definitely one not to be missed.  We think that’s a pretty good advertisement all in itself; however, being professionals, we double-checked!  Here in Frankfurt, you can choose from two different locations: one in Nordend on Koselstrasse 42 and one in Sachenhausen on Wallstrasse 26.  Also, if you’re visiting the zoo, well, they have a stand in there too!!!!

Ice Cream Notes:
  • organic certified
  • lactose-free options
  • they do frozen yoghurt and sorbet too
What our judges chose and said:
  • Yummy!
  • Two milk chocolate and one white chocolate were the flavours of choice
  • One of our little judges did wish she would have tried the lemon though.

Antipodean

There’s a new kid in town, and it’s delicious. Located in Bornheim, Bornheimer Landstraße 18, this little dream is just what the doctor ordered. Antipodean is Italian-style gelato with an Aussie flare! They make it fresh every day!

Ice Cream Notes:
  • Italian Gelato with Aussie Flare
  • Make their own waffle cones fresh every day
  • Use locally sourced milk products
  • Vegan and lactose-free options
  • Big focus on sustainability with machinery and energy source
  • interesting flavours
What our judges say:
  • Absolutely loved it.
  • We tried the white chocolate with bits and chocolate sorbet. Delicious!

Mint

This little gem is located at Berger Straße 36. Family owned and run for the past 10 years, they have pushed the ice cream boundaries adding gluten free, lactose free and vegan options to their menu. When they realised that both their kids had allergies they decided to develop a recipe so they could enjoy the wonders of ice cream too. No one should be left behind when it comes to experiencing the joys of ice cream.  People flock from far and wide to buy Mint’s speciality ice creams!

Ice Cream Notes:
  • gluten and lactose-free options
  • vegan options
  • Ice cream aside, with their Argentinian roots, the Alfjor is an absolute must-try!
What our judges chose and said:
  • They loved Mint.
  • Cookies and cream was the flavour of choice, and it was a definite winner!
  • The M&M’s hiding in the bottom of the cone is a stroke of genius

Brixia

Ok, ok, so technically, Brixia isn’t an ice cream shop. It’s a wonderful Italian cafe.  However, hear us out!  Aside from absolutely mouth-watering pastries and hot coffee, they have Italian Gelato perfect for those hot sunny days in Frankfurt.  Very centrally located on Bockenheimer Landstrasse they are well worth a visit.

Ice Cream Notes:
  • nice variety of flavours

To summarise, ice cream is a big deal in Germany and is eaten throughout the year.  So, whilst we have given you our picks for the best ice cream shops in Frankfurt, there are plenty more to find in our fair city!  If you find one that you think should definitely make this list, be sure to let us know!
