March 12th was a pretty big day around here...our favorite ice cream shop re-opened for the Spring and Summer season! This stand closes during the winter months, when other gelato/ice cream places start selling Lebkuchen (a gingerbread like spicy cookie for the winter holidays). This one, though, stays true to it's calling and just closes down until the sun starts to come out and the snow gets all melty.
We went on the first day that they were back in business, and even though they only had a few flavors ready, they had my favorite chocolate ice cream! We have several really good gelato places here in Munich, but this is the real deal-ice creamy goodness. And, look below: the cup it comes in is a cone! Awesome!
When you buy a scoop (Kugel) you also get a little taste of another flavor to try that they scoop up with your spoon-here I have chocolate with stracciatella (which is sort of like chocolate chip). YUM. See how happy I am with my long lost ice cream friends? By the way, the shop is located on the corner of Theresienstrasse and Tuerkenstrasse. Expect to see flavors like Milk and Mint (with chopped mint leaves), Ginger chocolate, Pistachio, Lemon Basil (with chopped basil leaves) and Vanilla with Amarena Cherries. Oh, also expect to see a line. It moves fast, I promise. And, it is so worth the short wait!
Wow I totally dig the cone cup! Brilliant.
