Big selection · vegan · many locations · additional sweets & drinks

This is trendy and a favorite among locals. There are five different locations in Hamburg, but this definitely doesn’t detract from their quality. They offer a wide selection of decadent chocolatey, nutty, yogurty, and seasonal (like Christmas cookie) flavors. This includes vegan, gluten- and lactose-free options. Many flavors have their own name, like Texas Farm Boy for peanut ice cream or Eisprinzessin for sour cherry ice cream with mini marshmallows. Below that you can read the detailed description of what’s inside. I find, though, that Eis Schmidt is a little bit more hit-or-miss compared to other places. Some flavors are awesome, but others sometimes don’t quite satisfy my taste buds. Apart from just a scoop, they also make ice cream sundaes and shakes. Other drinks they offer include smoothies, iced coffees, chai frappés, but also simple tea or coffee. If you don’t feel like an ice cream, you can also get candy or one of their freshly baked cakes.
