Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently point to the ice cream itself as the draw, with several calling it the best in Meisenheim and one describing a spread of flavors from cinnamon to coconut to dragon fruit, though the vanilla was noted as not very strong. Close behind, the Nutella waffles with cream and ice cream and a Bueno sundae get specific praise, alongside apple pie paired with a scoop of cinnamon. The latte macchiato and coffee also draw repeat mentions, and staff are described as friendly across multiple visits, with restrooms called very clean. One diner flagged the shop as cash only, calling it "a NO GO," while another more recent reviewer notes cards are now accepted. Pricing comes up favorably, with scoops and sundaes described as cheap, around €1.60 to €9 depending on the item.

“Absolutely delicious! We tried cinnamon, coconut, chocolate, Orio, cookie, mango, dragon fruit, and vanilla. The vanilla flavor wasn't very strong. Service: super friendly Price: €1.60 per large scoop Restrooms: very clean Great family-run business. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!”

“Great location with a beautiful view of the city gate. I had a slice of apple pie with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream for €6, and my fiancée had a Bueno sundae for €9, and we both really enjoyed it. …”

“Oh wow.. what fantastic waffles. Was in the town for Labour Day and this was one of the few places open. It was no chore to have delicious latte macchiato and Nutella waffles with cream and ice cream. Nice staff, very friendly”
