Eiscafé La Piazza

Eiscafé La Piazza: Italian Gelato According to Original Recipe in Zehlendorf

If you’re looking for a good ice cream parlor in Berlin, you sometimes have to travel a bit further. However, the S-Bahn ride to Mexikoplatz in Zehlendorf is truly worth it. Eiscafé La Piazza is located directly on Mexikoplatz in Berlin Steglitz-Zehlendorf, and its ice cream and cake specialties are homemade according to original Italian recipes. This is no accident but craftsmanship with history: ice cream maker Paolo Schiatelli has received multiple awards for his gelato. And you can taste it. Those who know classic pistachio ice cream will find one of the most reliable versions in the city here. Additionally, the menu features unusual sundaes like the Mango-Mascarpone sundae or the After-Eight sundae.

La Piazza also bakes its own cakes. The ice cream parlor offers a wide selection of ice cream and cakes, with the ice cream made according to original Italian recipes and the cakes produced by the in-house patisserie. Thus, a spontaneous craving for ice cream quickly turns into a small coffee break experience with a view of the lively square.

Terrace, Schlachtensee, and the Best Ice Cream Parlor in Southwest Berlin

What sets La Piazza apart from many other ice cream parlors in Berlin is its location. Not far from Schlachtensee and Krumme Lanke, many cyclists stop at the spacious terrace. The terrace itself is expansive enough that even larger groups feel comfortable. This makes the café suitable for a quiet afternoon coffee as well as for an outing with the whole family. In addition to gelato, the menu also includes Crepes Mozart and Waffle Bueno, so there’s something for every taste. Those who also plan to add a walk along the nearby lakes can wonderfully combine their visit with a trip to Schlachtensee and thus enjoy a relaxed afternoon in the green southwest of Berlin.
