It's my boyfriend's 40th birthday today so I thought I would treat him to a birthday ice-cream, so off we went to check out the latest edition to the Schöneberg ice cream scene... Vanilla & Marille nestled in the middle of Belziger Strasse just off Akazienstraße.
You can't miss the wooden shop front accented with pink candy striped cuteness, especially when it seemed to be oozing out a string of happy customers trying to squeeze pass the ever forming queue forming outside.
Considering the length of the queue I would say it moved pretty fast, even when the boy in front of me was procrastinating over ever flavour on offer, much to the dismay of his mother... I was secretly okay with this as I was doing the same... at which point my Boyfriend over took me and was served by a second assistant.
22 mouth-watering flavours to choose from, when normally I have problems just choosing between two. Having said that I knew immediately what I wanted, a scoop of the Caramel Buerre Sale... but the second? Time pressure geared me towards the vibrant looking Indian Mango.
What can I say? I was a happy bunny. The flavours and textures were really quite excellent. Nothing beats freshly made ice-cream., especially when it's free from artificial flavours, colourings and other enhancements.
Flavours on offer included, Sicilian Pistachio, walnut fig, White Mocha, Sesame with caramelised honey, Blueberry cheesecake, Toasted Almond, Strawberries and Mascarpone. Even the chocolate was rich and velvety and the Premium Madagascan Vanilla was buttery and totally yummy.
For the quality and choice on offer €1.20 a scoop is a steal.
The best part is... They also sell the ice cream in handy tubs to take home... 'Hello little tub of salted caramel ice-cream. Let me take you home with me!'
Definitely coming here again!
P.S. They even have a cute rubbish bin, just in case the tub of ice cream doesn't make it out the shop! read more
