The best ice cream shops Haut-Rhin

If you like Italian ice cream, you don't have to cross the border into Germany to enjoy it, just go to Gelato in the heart of the city. In collaboration with Carlos Gourmet, you will discover ice creams and sorbets made according to the artisanal know-how of Italian ice cream makers. A large selection of flavours is available and served by the spoonful. There are the inevitable pistachio, chocolate and coffee flavours, but also original ones such as panna cotta and Kinder, all accompanied by a delicious homemade whipped cream. The most difficult thing will be to choose! All that will be left for you to do is to enjoy your composition on a large covered and glazed terrace, or to take away.

Widely acclaimed by Colmar's ice cream lovers, this beautiful establishment welcomes you in a charming building at the entrance to Sundhoffen from Colmar. Its vanilla-strawberry colors are a real eye-catcher. It's up to you to choose your favorite ice cream from the many flavors and frozen desserts created by Sébastien Lang. Everything is made on site and 100% natural: tubs of ice cream, eskimos, small pots, verrines, and, depending on the season and festivities, Easter bunnies and nests and Yule logs, among other delicious specialties!

Created in 1961 by Charles Erhard, this family business is renowned for the quality and variety of its ice creams as well as for its totally unheard of creations! Its new Colmarian space is a true temple of gourmet delights where it is impossible not to succumb to temptation when faced with more than two hundred flavours of ice cream and sorbets, not to mention the sublime frozen desserts. Add to that delicious cakes (gourmet rock, paris-brest, forêt-noire, opera...), individual pastries (lightning and cabbage cream, rum babas, verrines, macaroons...) and other pastries. All this can be enjoyed on the spot in the dessert lounge or taken away to enjoy at home!

Franchi, an artisan ice-cream maker handed down from father to son since 1934, has a long-standing reputation for ice creams that have delighted the people of Strasbourg from generation to generation. As a result of this success, there's often a long queue when the weather's nice. You'll find a wide range of inventive and original ice cream sundaes on the menu, or a choice of the great classics, as well as crêpes. For those with a sweet tooth, you can order ice cream trays of your favorite flavor for your family and guests to take home.

Italian ice cream lovers are served here by authentic Italian ice cream makers, Giuseppe and Jacky, who opened their shop in June 2004 in Colmar, after discovering that there were no transalpine ice cream shops in the city yet. Success is equal to quality: it is not uncommon to wait in line to taste Italian women, or gelatos - ice-cream in Italian - with ingredients imported from the country such as hazelnut, pistachio or bourbon vanilla... Here is top-of-the-range ice cream that is not even more expensive than elsewhere, or even less, served with a smile on the face of Italy. At Christmas, the shop offers logs.... in Florentine style of course!
