I came here on a Sunday afternoon around 1:30 pm. It was fairly busy, as it was a beautiful summer…read moreweekend; however, there were a good number of tables available outside. There were also some chairs and a few tables set farther out, close to the water. There appeared to be 2 fairly large tables inside, but since it was so nice outside, these were not used while I was there. It was also fairly stuffy inside since it was summer. Pulpo is self-service; you go inside to order and then take your food/drinks out to the tables. There were coffees, teas, alcohol, and hot chocolate on the menu. It appeared they made their own iced tea as well, although I didn't get to try it. There wasn't really a food menu, but you could see the food offerings in the display case inside. When I was there, they had a selection of sandwiches, salads, and yogurts. They also had a few slices of cake and some croissants. There was a good selection of gelatos, which could be served in a cup or a cone. I got a latte macchiato for 5.50 CHF, which sounds expensive but is about the price of a latte macchiato everywhere else in Basel. It came in a tall glass and with a small amaretto biscotti. Note that there is a 2 CHF deposit that is returned to you when you bring back your dishes; they give you a little token that you return for your deposit as well. They only accept cash. There was wifi; the password was prominently displayed by the cash register. The lady manning the café was friendly and spoke English well. The café is located right along the Rhine and has a great view. There's also a foosball table that's good for families. Not a bad place to stop for a break when you're walking along the Rhine.

We knew it is cash only and that it was going to close at 8 pm (Sunday August 27th), we arrived to the shop at 7:45 pm and realized we didn't have enough cash (we think they raised the prices) we went to the closest ATM and came back at 7:55 pm, we approached the counter and instead of a greeting, this lady yelled at us in german "NO MORE ICE CREAM WE ARE CLOSE!) didn't even look at us, toke the ice cream car to the back and shut the door in our face. The ice cream is simply not worth it with this kind of service.

We spotted Sapori Del Sud and made it a point to come back the next day when they were open. That was a great decision. A majority of the restaurants on this particular street were insanely expensive. We just wanted a quick lunch before we got back to exploring. We were able to get a nice lasagna for a reasonable price. We liked it so much that we ended up walking back to get gelato for dessert later. The son kept apologizing to me because he didn't speak English but there was no need to apologize for that! I was able to use Google Translate to tell him in Italian that we enjoyed their food very much. It was great seeing their faces light up when they heard that. I'm really glad I got to meet these two and enjoy their food on this journey.

I am usually more into fruity ice cream and carnivore, but their vegan chocolate one is really a taste explosion.

A bit too watery for my taste - the fior de latte was particularly disappointing. I did not feel anywhere enough milk flavor in it. The presentation and the ice cream sandwich they offer is a nice twist that I am definitely a fan of. Overall a good location, but in my opinion the ice cream itself is a bit overhyped.

They had a decent selection of flavors, but I found the gelato to be a bit too rich, not light.
