ENGLISH: Homemade ice cream in a neighborhood café just five walking minutes from Aachen city hall!…read moreEiscafé Alkuin is the new name of Bubel's Eiscafé, after Werner Bubelewitz sold his business to the new owner. Reopened in May 2016, the new place kept all the furniture, machinery and practice of great homemade ice cream from its predecessor. This place is ideally situated in a quiet side street right next to a kids' playground and benches in the shade of tall maple trees. The ice cream is delicious - the owner prides himself in natural ingredients, and you may run into him buying his strawberries in the nearby REWE market for his strawberry ice cream. Try his flavors "Sahnegrieß-Himbeer", "Marzipan-Karamell" or "Latte Macchiato", and make sure to ask for his homemade strawberry sauce! There is outdoor and indoor seating, prices are moderate, and the owner is very friendly and often finds the time for a little chat, whether about boxing or Paul Auster's novels. This is where the locals meet whenever it's not raining (hard). :) DEUTSCH: Hausgemachtes Eis in einer gemütlichen Eisdiele nur 5 Fußminuten vom Aachener Marktplatz! Eiscafé Alkuin ist der neue Name von Bubels Eiscafé, nachdem Werner Bubelewitz sein Geschäft an den neuen Eigentümer verkauft hat. Mit der Neueröffnung im Mai 2016 hat das Eiscafé nicht nur die Ausstattung, sondern auch die Tradition toller hausgemachter Eiscreme übernommen. Das Café liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße an einem Platz im Schatten großer Ahornbäume neben Sitzbänken und einem kleinen Kinderspielplatz. Das Eis ist wirklich lecker - der Besitzer schwört auf natürliche Zutaten, und man trifft ihn gelegentlich beim Erdbeerkauf im REWE nebenan für sein Erdbeereis. Die Sorten "Himbeer-Sahnegrieß", "Marzipan-Karamell" und "Latte Macchiato" muss man probieren - und nicht vergessen, nach der hausgemachten Erdbeersauce zu fragen! Man kann draußen und drinnen sitzen, die Preise sind gemäßigt, es gibt kostenloses Freifunk-WLAN, und der Besitzer ist sehr nett und hat immer Zeit für einen kleinen Klönschnack, ob übers Boxen oder Paul Austers Romane. Hier trifft sich die Nachbarschaft, wenn es nicht (heftig) :) regnet.

Clevers is a really dope Ice Cream Parlor that is about the best I've ever seen... really. I'm not…read morethe only one who thinks so because this chain has won award after award that they are not shy displaying front and center when you walk in. The set up is like a giant ice cream restuarant. When you open up the menu, I would say there are 100 unique creations all of which looked amazing. I wanted one thing and I didn't want to look for it so I asked the waitress if they had an ice cream bowl that including Apple Pie and Ice Cream. Appararently they didn't and no one had ever heard of this combination. It's an American thing I guess. They were more than happy to make it for me though and it was sooooo good. The pie was great and the ice cream was amazing. This is without a doubt the only ice cream place you need to go to when you're in the Limburg area.

Oh and I love this place. I go here every chance I get. They have some pretty amazing desserts. I…read morewould just drop in and get one or two scoops. If I could replicate this place back home, I totally would.

This is a review just for their ice cream, which can be summed up into: sweet, too sweet…read more I've tried 4 of their ice cream flavors now, and 2 of them have been a complete bust. The ones I didn't like: - The hazelnut just tasted like sugar, lacking any distinct flavor. - The yogurt lychee apricot tasted like yogurt plus sugar. I could barely taste any hint of lychee or apricot. The ones I thought were okay: - The strawberry was more like a sherbet. - The red velvet did not taste like red velvet, but I didn't find it too sweet at least. The cone they use also tastes like it's riddled with sugar. I actually didn't plan on coming here a second time, except that as I left, I saw a customer with a meringue disc on top of their ice cream, and I really wanted to try that as well. Two tips from me: 1. Turns out the meringue discs are free! How come it's not offered to every customer then? How come there's no sign for it? In any case, I'm letting you guys know now! If you want to spiff up your ice cream for free, ask for that meringue disc. 2. You get a cone + 1 scoop of ice cream for €2. If you want a cone + 2 scoops, it's €4..... Just buy 2 cones with 1 scoop of ice cream each then. I mean, if you don't want to, that's fine. But if they're not discounting the second scoop, then I'm getting a second cone, lol. Service-wise, I had a mixed experience. When I came yesterday, the person scooping the ice cream just did not care. However much they scooped the first time was however much the customer received... As a result, I saw some people with the tiniest scoops (like half the size of my single scoop)! Today, the person scooping the ice cream was a lot more diligent and competent. If the first scoop wasn't a lot, they'd scoop another smaller scoop so that every customer got roughly the same amount of ice cream. I'm sure not everyone pays attention to things like this, but I try to take note of small stuff from time to time. In this case, it's about making sure every customer can leave feeling like they're being treated the same. It's what sets the "I have hands" employees apart from the "I have hands and a brain" employees. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the ice cream, so I probably won't come back here, again.
