Is it the best ice cream I've ever had? Maybe. Is it the best ice cream I've had in recent memory?…read moreDefinitely! And that includes a trip to Berthillon last week! Just had 2 scoops here at the bargain price of 2.60! What?!! I'm not sure you can get two scoops of bad ice cream at that price in the U.S. I probably would have been fine with one scoop, but I was having a hard time choosing a flavor, and it was a bargain, and I go home in a week...Anyway, with one of the server's help, I decided on a scoop of Ferrero Rocher and a scoop of lemon sorbet. I knew I wanted to try something chocolatey (because chocolate has not failed me in either Germany or Belgium so far, and Aachen is this hybrid city,) and thought about how I always love orange and chocolate combinations. So wouldn't lemon and chocolate be nice?- I couldn't be more wrong. The lemon sorbet was good, and, perhaps the most pristinely white food I've ever eaten. However, it probably would have paired better with something more fruity. Now, the Ferrero Rocher! This is the best thing I've had on my 6 week trip to Europe in the sense that I did not want the experience to end!!!! So I guess I would recommend it. ;) Yes, without a doubt I would! And the lesson learned here is, if you are in one of Western Europe's best ice cream towns, and there is a choice of Ferraro Rocher ice cream (and you love chocolate, hazelnuts and Ferrero Rocher), ask for two scoops!!!

Very good ice cream and not too expensive. They have a selection of about 20 different flavors. In…read moreaddition to getting ice cream in a cone or cup you can also get more fancy sundaes. You can order from the street or sit inside. If you need to bring dessert to a party one idea would be to get a 'platter' of 10 scoops of ice cream (any mix of flavors). That costs 9 Euro.

We wanted to find a nice place to have a brunch before we hit the road. We were close enough to…read moreBelgium that I wanted to have waffles and boy did i find a great place to get one! Located in a nice town square, it was the perfect place to sit and enjoy the town and people watch while we waited for our food. The server was very patient and helped us in our order (given the lack of German that we knew). We ordered a couple cups of coffee, a couple of waffles and a crepe. The crepe was ok and exactly what had been described. But the waffle was amazing! Featuring strawberries, kiwi, powdered sugar and a scoop of ice cream, ot was delicious! It may have been morr appropriate for dessert than breakfast but it was amazing, tasty and sweet! Given the ambiance and the flavors, we are very happy to have chosen this place for our breakfast, and I'd highly reccomend this place to any other travelers!

Trying to warm up a bit, and attracted by the cakes, we went inside, lucky to find a wonderful table. The lady behind the counter was very nice and meticulous at her job. Our coffees were there in no time along with two slices of cakes. She even let us taste one of her favorites, seeing that we were definitely cake connoisseurs. There's even a tiny lift to take you to the toilets downstairs. The color scheme of this place is awesome, just a lot of glass windows so you can see the world jealous of you and your cake.

We're Canadian and don't speak a word of German ... so I was a bit apprehensive about ordering. But the manager (owner?) was very welcoming and helpful with our order and made us feel like a regular. The desserts were great, well presented, tasted good. Drinks / coffee was good too. Price was fair as well, no surprises when the bill came. I would recommend if in the area.
