An ice cream cafe is more than a scoop to take away. It is the summer afternoon in the sun, a lavish sundae with cream, fresh fruit and a wafer on top. At Eissalon Caffe e Gelato at the Potsdamer Platz Arkaden in Tiergarten, ice cream pleasure and coffee culture meet, while Eiscafe Eisgruen on Kurfuerstendamm attracts with over 120 flavors of natural ice cream and seats right on the Ku'damm. Anyone who likes it creamy can hardly walk past the gelato at Cuore Di Vetro in Mitte. Whether spaghetti ice cream, banana split or a cool iced coffee on a hot day: in these cafes you happily stay a little longer. Which sundae will come to your table next?

For me, a good ice cream cafe is measured not only by the ice cream but by the whole afternoon. For this list I tried my way through sundaes and terraces and paid attention to what counts: creamy ice cream made in house, fresh fruit instead of canned, a spot in the sun where you like to linger, and service that stays friendly even when the place is full.
