Eis Cafe = Ice Cream Store!!!

12:10 AM | Posted by Tiffany T. Weber Stahlbaum | | Edit Post
Do they have ice cream in Germany? 
Yes! And it isn't just for little kids. Here old people enjoy a scoop just as much as anyone and you will find entire families of all ages standing around a group of bicycles enjoying a cold sweet treat before continuing their bicycle trip.

Most of the ice cream you find in shops here is made at the shop itself. A lot of it is Italian gelato - including the ice cream served from most ice cream trucks.

Flavors: 
You'll get the usual... and the unique.
Spaghetti ice: Vanilla ice cream extruded onto the plate in thin spaghetti shaped streamers, then covered with strawberry sauce.
Strattiatela: Vanilla ice cream with flakes of dark chocolate.
Advocaat: Egg liqueur flavor.

'Tis the season of fresh home made ice creams as far as the eye can see and at prices that we can all get quite fat on. Most places sell a small scoop of the yummy stuff for about .70. And it's all delicious.

Ice cream is a summer treat here. Most of these places will only be open May - September.
