We think we've just realized that this Ismageriet is now part of the same chain as the one that we went to in Kødbyen, which was beyond-words amazing.
This Amager location is definitely smaller with far fewer flavors, and somehow the ice cream is slightly less magical, but who are we kidding--it's still outrageously good. We can't believe we're saying this, but it's way better than the gelato that we had in Italy last year!
Our daughter got a cup of stracciatella--no fireworks, but solid. One of us got a cone with half baklava and half ricotta pistachio and DAMN--now there's some fireworks. We loved the bit of pastry flakes in the baklava and the ricotta one had swirls of a kind of pistachio frosting that was heavenly. The other one of us got a cup of half Dubai chocolate and half cherry. WOW. Hats are tipped! The cherry was such a swirly flavor bomb of perfectly-balance sweet and sour. The Dubai, which has now become a standard go-to was equally delicious.
Again, we'd recommend going to the Kødbyen location, which is more chaotic but also more interesting--that was more like 5 stars, while this one is 4. Either way, both are Copenhagen creamy wonderlands.
P.S./PSA: If you're cold and hungry in Copenhagen and near the Carlsberg Brewery, we strongly encourage you to go to Anh's Spiseri og Takeaway. Amazing soup! read more
