Walked in on a random rainy evening and found a long line, which makes sense. Also, they're famous for their Eismarillenknödel. I tried the coffee ice cream and it was quite possibly the best I had in Vienna. This place is truly a must visit. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. The ambiance feels like an Austrian diner tucked into a quiet suburban neighborhood which is super charming and adds to the appeal. Parking is easy and I'd happily come back on future trips to Vienna. read more

Best ice cream in our entire trip, and we visited twice in as many days. Very easy to get to from Reumannplatz subway station. Apparently it's very popular with the locals - busy throughout the day even during the week. It's in an interesting and diverse neighborhood of Vienna too. 4 stars only because they only take cash, and we had to find an ATM machine couple of blocks away. read more

Vienna has been holding out on us. This diner styled ice cream spot is a must visit. It's been serving up desserts since 1952. Definitely get the Eismarillenknödel, an apricot filled dumpling that are as iconic as they are delicious. These puppies are patented. How they came to be? Initially conceived as a creative way to use up leftovers, it's hard to imagine now that this iconic treat began as a culinary afterthought. Today, they make 35,000 homemade dumplings each week. read more

Pronounced "tishy." The restaurant is only open 5 months of the year. This is a nice, old-fashioned looking ice cream shop with plenty of clientele. Fortunately, on my visit, there was not a line waiting to get in as it had just stopped raining on a Monday evening. As suggested, I had the Eis-Marillen-Knodel which is a creamy, ice-creamed filled hole with apricot filling (see photos). It was absolutely divine! The menu is extensive. It would help you to review it and have an idea of what you want upon arrival. Many at other tables were sharing large ice cream-filled desserts. Bring an appetite because you will need it. The one photo on display (in Black face) is from when the restaurant opened in the 1950's, I believe. We all know this sort of marketing display is no longer acceptable. read more

During my stay in Vienna I became a bit of a gelato connoisseur. I spent a lot of time researching the best gelato in the city via eating gelato every day at every chance I had. My hard work paid off, for after eating scoop after scoop I was able to narrow it down to my all-time favorite shop AND favorite flavor: Tichy's Mango. This fruity flavor is incredible. Close your eyes, take bite, and you'll be asking yourself: am I eating ice cream, or the juiciest mango off a tree? It's THAT good...no, the BEST! I'd argue that it's the most refreshing iced treat one could have in the city. In fact, I have yet to have another gelato anywhere else that comes remotely close to Tichy's mango. It would be a crime if you didn't hop on the U1 and find out for yourself. read more

Absolutely the best tasting AND best value for ice cream in all countries I have travelled: US, Czech, France, Germany, Canada. 1.90 for three scoops on a cone. The pistachio, banana and chocolate flavors are perfect. The kiwi flavor is on the tart side but very refreshing. Staff are nice, friendly, and yet efficient. Good thing our hotel is far from here. Otherwise we will be here three times a day! read more

Tichy - Right off U1 metro station - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vienna, 9

I can't imagine anyone not liking Tichy Ice Cream Parlor. This legendary institution on the Reumannplatz in Favoriten in South Vienna is one of the traditions of warmer weather in Vienna. There are two indoor areas and two takeaway counters so it actually serve a lot of people at one time which is good because there are usually a lot of people at Tichy's.. One of the classics they are especially known for is their Eis-Marillen Knödel. This vanilla ice cream and apricot concoction inside a dumpling with a tasty bread crumb & powdered sugar coating deserves its fame. If you have never tried it, I would advise you to book your flight or train to Vienna now. Hey, it's ice cream season here! read more

Tichy was our favorite ice-cream cafe in Vienna. Don't be put off by their location. It is not right in the center of the city, and you would have to take the red line U1 to get there. They are located right next to the metro station Reumannplatz. I would have to say that this place is popular and very crowded. The best time to visit is during the week days before 5 p.m. if you want to get a table. Otherwise it is very likely you will be waiting for this table forever or sharing it with strangers. English is not spoken much by the staff, but they are very friendly and they will give you a menu in English. The menu has pictures of everything they offer, so it was very easy for us to order. They also sell ice-cream to go. I think it was 1 euro and 60 cents for three scoops. read more

Best ice cream in Vienna! You can sit down at one of their charming, old fashioned ice cream parlor tables and order a fancy dish, or stand in line and get some scoops in a cone. Either way, you'll get a 'special' experience--the place is always crowded and joyful--and you'll get great ice cream. There's outdoor seating in the summer and two different parlor rooms to sit in. The pink one in the back is a little quieter, less touristy, and I think prettier. Not near the city center, but you must make the trip. Go not just for the ice cream, but the experience! read more

For me the best ice cream in town. I like their hazelnut ice cream. Tip: try it and love it. You can get there easily with the subway (U1 - Reumannplatz). Make sure you try the "Eismarillenknödel" if you visit Vienna and Tichy. read more

Old-school in style, Tichy serves up some of the *best* ice cream I have had. Sampling the hazelnut, strawberry, vanilla, elderberry, and pistachio, each was delicious. The strawberry, complete with seeds, was my favorite. That said, if you even remotely enjoy ice cream, I highly recommend a trip to Tichy. You won't be disappointed. read more

Finally made it here, I visited this place 15 years ago, now that I have gone back, I have to admit it did not disappoint. Well worth the money. Highly recommend it. read more

Tichy - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vienna, 9

I was told that Tichy has the best ice cream in Vienna, and I was certainly not disappointed! The ice cream, particularly the hazelnut is absolutely to die for! They had some sort of ice cream knödel which was also delicious. However, a single scoop of just hazelnut ice cream is really my personal favorite choice. A must try for a hot summer day in Vienna! read more

Tichy - Hazelnut and pistachio ice creams - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vienna, 9

I have been here twice, and never have I been disappointed. Yes, this place is chaos on a summer afternoon with children squealing and ice cream cones dripping, but it is such a lovely tradition that should not be missed! Their flavors consist of old favorites and daily specials so you are sure to find one that suits your tastes. Their 'Eisbomb' is an old classic (my Omi had them for her birthdays as a child) and are well worth the very reasonable 5 Euros and change. I would recommend getting your ice cream to go and walking across the narrow street into Reumannplatz, sitting down on a bench and people watching. Sitting in Tichy itself can be a bit of a nightmare, but if the weather is nice then save yourself the trouble and experience the sights of Vienna from a comfy park bench. Happy eating! read more

Made in pin up style ice cream place in Vienna. They have things you cannot ecen imagine about ice cream. Like ice cream soup bowls, icr cream desserts and it all taste like heaven. Well very similar to italian ice cream I can so say. Its hard to understand which flavors they have cause you cannot see them, but just try to ask. Place open just in afternoon till late evening. read more

When you visit Tichy, try their Coup Helen. It has vanilla ice cream, pear compote, roasted almonds, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream. With just one spoonful, I became a fan. The texture and richness of the ice cream was superb and the flavor of the chocolate was just the way I like it - moderately sweet, verging on dark. Mixing the pear with vanilla and chocolate freshens up this classic ice cream combo while the fruits and the almonds add variety to the typical creamy texture of ice cream. The result: a very regal, rich yet refreshing taste. I totally recommend it. read more

Definitely one the oldest and most famous & traditional ice cream stores in Vienna. The ice cream is pretty darn good, which explains the huge queue every time I go there, however, its definitely worth it. I also like the fact that they really seem to be good employers as some of the ladies serving the ice cream are the same that used to serve us 20 years back ;) read more

Great ice cream but high prices! Beware: they charge for each of the wafers you eat after they put on them on the table! Can be crowded and you share your table with strangers! read more

It's definitely the best ice cream place in Vienna. I'm afraid to speak this out loud but: The hazelnut ice cream is even better than in most gelaterias in Italy (I'm sorry my friends you might have the best pistacchio in the world but Tichy's nocciola is better than yours) The ice cream bawls are huge and taste delicious. And it's only a 10 Minutes ride from St. Stephens Cathedral with U1 and it's worth every second ;) read more

Only ever had the eis marillenknüdel which are some poached apricot thing covered in a ball of ice cream. Pretty good! Heads up they do not accept card, cash only... read more

Hands down best hazelnut I've ever had! Find a waitress who has the rare smile and you'll be treated with kid hands as a tourist. But you'll have to find them. Go in for a traditional Viennese treat! read more

I want to travel back to Austria for two things: my family & the eis!! I had a sundae type thing that was hazelnut pudding with pralines and hazelnut ice cream. Wow was it good. read more

Best ice cream on Vienna! When you go in make sure to check if they have Ashanti that day and if they do- get it! It's a sort of peanut butter flavor made in heaven and then sent down. Mix it with some chocolate and you're in dreamland! Strawberry and chocolate is another fantastic combo here. You can so not go wrong ordering an Eismarillenknödel. World famous for a very good reason! Unique to Tichy, this treat is better than one could imagine! The nut breadcrumbs remind of fried ice cream but it's without the oil and downright better! read more

Ok, let me just say that I think Austria is the ONLY country in Europe were you can walk your butt off during the day sightseeing, and still gain weight. Tichy is certainly one reason! We were staying in the Innere Stadt, so when my husband said we HAVE to find this place and have ice cream, I said ok even though I was stuffed to the gills from dinner. SO we took the underground to the end of the line and lo and behold we got off on 3rd street promenade in Santa Monica, well maybe not quite as hip(anyone who has been to both will understand). We got a little confused, walked the wrong way, thankfully the Austrians are quite helpful. What's with the line out the door! must be good. Tichy is a CLASSIC icecream parlor complete with the candy striped servers. we ordered a few things because my hubby needs to taste everything. I personally was digging any thing with erdbeer (strawberry). Is it my imagination or do austrian strawberries taste different? We also got one of the snowballs. One note, they have little containers of waffle cone pieces (think breadsticks) on the table. My husband thinking, Oh look snacks,gobbled down a few only to find out they keep count and charge at the end. So I suppose you might want to rein in the kiddies on that. Excellent! read more

Amazing ice cream parlor. Tried the Eis-Busserl (chocolate ice cream ball with a vanilla ice cream center, dusted with bitter chocolate) and the Himbeer-Eisknödel (vanilla ice cream ball with a raspberry center, covered with poppy seeds). Both were served in the perfect temperature, had the perfect creamy texture, and just the right amount of sweetness. read more

yummy yummy yummy I got love in my tummy ;) one of the best ice-creams in town! make sure to try those Eismarillenknödel when you come to Vienna! :) Hazelnut and Strawberry are definitely my favourite read more

High prices but good ice creams. Warning! They put waffles on the table and than they count how many waffles did you eat and charge it 22 cents each. This made a very NEGATIVE impression on me! read more

The best "Eis" that I've ever tried in Vienna. Klassiker is the Eismarillenknödel, but the Himbeer-Mohn-Knödel is also great. For me it is always a measure of quality how the whipped cream is, if it is only a cheap spray or really good quality/freshly whipped. At Tichy it is also exceptionally good :) I will come many-many times again. read more
