The Story

German Eiskaffee is a classic that originated in the pastry shops of the 1920s and differs fundamentally from its international relatives. While American iced coffee is simply chilled coffee, German Eiskaffee is a lavish dessert drink with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. It embodies the German coffeehouse tradition, where coffee is more of an indulgence than a mere pick-me-up.

The Experience

"The first spoonful combines everything: cool coffee, creamy ice cream, airy whipped cream. Then comes the delightful chaos – coffee mixes with melting ice cream, the cream slowly sinks. The bold roast aromas are perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the ice cream. An Eiskaffee is coffee, dessert, and refreshment all in one."

Did You Know?

German Eiskaffee differs so much from international "Iced Coffee" that in American coffee shops it is often listed on the menu as "German Ice Cream Coffee" or "Eiskaffe" (with incorrect spelling) to avoid confusion.
