    When in Cologne visiting this ice salon is a must. The ice is super creamy compared to other ice salons. They have special flavours like coconut almond which are freshly made in front of you. Pistachio and coconut were extremely popular and it was very busy so we had to wait a few minutes. For such a popular shop to only accept cash payment is for me a big question mark… but I guess it’s a German thing as paying cash seems to be the norm everywhere. The good thing is, the employees do not touch the money as they have a cash machine which gives you back the change. I hope the next investment will be a pin machine. Fingers crossed.

    (Translated by Google) Service is friendly, but unfortunately I don't like the ice cream at all. It is very creamy in consistency. Certainly also a matter of taste but unfortunately not mine. (Original) Bedienung ist freundlich jedoch schmeckt mir das Eis leider überhaupt nicht. Es ist sehr cremig von der Konsistenz. Sicher auch Geschmackssache aber leider nicht meins.

    Super nice guy helped us. German, French, English! The icecream is Indeed very creamy, and doesn't taste like an overload of Sugar but rather like the promised flavor. Definitely worth your visit if looking for a tasty treat.

    Better than a fountain gelato! The ice cream tastes so flavorful and does not taste strong artificial flavors, especially the fruity ones. It is so fresh and tasty. The coffee is decent, stick with ice cream and you will not regret.

    Creamy, delicious and not so sugary. First ice cream I really enjoy in a long time, I become tired of other places using a lot pf sugar to hide poor quality. BTW great coffee too

    Came to ice cream united after a dinner out in Cologne. The man working was very nice and explained that he makes all of the ice cream in house with all natural and low sugar ingredients. The ice cream is churned right on the bench and it so fresh. The salted caramel ice cream was amazing a perfect mix between sweet and salty and not too rich. The peanut butter was amazing but not too strong. The chocolate was rich but very yummy and had small choc chips mixed through as well, what a treat!! Ice creams were VERY reasonably priced for a good amount and he threw in some water cookies for us as well! We really enjoyed coming here and highly recommend you do too! Love from the Aussies!!

    Literally the food highlight for me this entire Germany trip. Amazing ice cream. So much win. - flavorful and not too sweet - freshly made and many choices - super nice owner, friendly service - super reasonable price

  • 5/5 Fatemeh M. 6 months ago on Google • 145 reviews
    Very delicious 🤤 ice cream. Staff were nice and polite. You can pay only by cash. I ordered vanilla ice cream which was delicious. But my friend ordered cookies ice cream and that was way better than mine. I recommend you to test before choosing your scopes. It’s located near Heumarkt station. There are chairs outside and you can sit there. Generally I recommend this place for eating ice cream in Cologne city.

    Sorry, I chose to have an ice-cream here but I can’t say that I enjoyed it. To be fair, my review is only based on the taste of one flavor and the consistency of the ice-cream, which appeared to be the same for all flavors. I decided to have salted caramel. Never have I had anything with so much salt. It was super salty. There were caramel pieces inside. Well, I noticed them only twice and they were very tiny. If you want to try the ice-cream, try another flavor. The consistency of the ice-cream was like soft ice, ready to drip out of the cone all over you. The reason for the two stars was the cone. That was really good. I was quite surprised there was no line on a sunny day. Perhaps I now know why.

    (Translated by Google) Good ice cream. Not really expensive but there was a damn long line (which I can understand). (Original) Seehhhr gutes Eis. Nicht wirklich teuer aber es gab eine verdammt lange Schlange (was ich verstehen kann).

  • 4/5 Swantje K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very tasty and creamy ice cream. Salted caramel is what I think is the best variety ?? However, I find € 1.50 a bit too expensive compared to other ice cream parlors, but still okay. (Original) Sehr leckeres und cremiges Eis. Salted caramel ist die wie ich finde beste Sorte ?? Allerdings finde ich 1,50€ im Vergleich zu anderen Eisdielen etwas zu teuer, aber noch okay.

    (Translated by Google) The small, aesthetic ice cream shop on the Heumarkt may not immediately catch the eye. But once you have found it, you will be spoiled with incredibly good ice cream quality and a wonderful taste. 1.50 per spatula is good value for money. 3 vegan sorbet varieties are available, as well as several other flavors such as vanilla, stracciatella, peanut, oreo, yoghurt, pistachio and many more. Despite the long queues, there are only two of them in the summer, but they manage things wonderfully. Occasionally there are stressful situations, but as a customer you shouldn't interpret them as arrogance or rudeness. Those who come in winter when there are few visitors will definitely have the chance to hear nice stories about the restaurant from the employees and also something about Podolski itself. (Original) Der kleine, ästhetische Eisladen am Heumarkt sticht vielleicht nicht sofort ins Auge. Wer ihn aber erst einmal gefunden hat, wird mit unglaublich guter Eisqualität und einem wunderbarem Geschmack verwöhnt. 1,50 pro Spatel steht in einem guten Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis. 3 vegane Sorbet-Sorten sind vorhanden, sowie etliche andere Geschmackssorten wie Vanille, Stracciatella, Erdnuss, Oreo, Yoghurt, Pistazie und viele weitere. Das Personal ist im Sommer trotz der langen Warteschlangen zwar nur zu zweit, managen die Sache aber wunderbar. Ab und zu kommt es mal zu Stresssituationen, die man aber als Kunde nicht direkt als Arroganz oder Unhöflichkeit interpretieren sollte. Wer im Winter zu besuchsschwachen Zeiten kommt, hat definitiv die Chance, von den Mitarbeitern schöne Geschichten über das Lokal zu hören und auch etwas über Podolski selbst.

    Great icecream, creamy and not sugary sweet. A fair variety of flavours including most classics, but the best is the new coconut almond, very well done.

    Server was very nice and gave extra since we were two people sharing one spaghetti eis. Only downside is that they do not accept card payment.

  • 3/5 Oliver Z. 1 year ago on Google
    The ice cream is a bit too expensive for the flavour you get, but all in all a nice atmosphere. The staff is kind and humorous

  • 3/5 Ana R. 11 months ago on Google
    It's interesting that they make their own ice cream there, but they don't keep backups. After waiting in queue many of the flavours we were interested had been sold and we'd had to wait an additional 10 minutes until they were ready. We ended up choosing a different flavour, the texture was very creamy and nice, but the flavour was just okay.

  • 2/5 Deiuska 10 months ago on Google
    Tried the pistachio icecream and all I can say it didn’t tasted at all like pistachio! It was terrible! Tasted only the cream, slightly pistachio taste but not much, with just some small insignificant pieces of pistachio in it. Was the most terrible ice cream I ever had. It gets 2 stars only because it was creamy (maybe way to creamy that it was melting quicker than I could have managed to eat it) otherwise it was a terrible experience

  • 5/5 Luke W. 10 months ago on Google
    It’s great if you don’t have cash. You can leave a review and get your ice cream for free because Germany is still in the 90s. This shop prefer to give things away for free rather than move into this century.

  • 2/5 U E. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Staff very nice. I only had 1 scoop of pistachio and it wasn't good. Maybe natural ice cream tastes like that too and I've got used to artificial flavors. Unfortunately, I didn't find it delicious and too creamy .. (Original) Mitarbeiter sehr nett. Ich hatte nur 1 Kugel Pistazie und die war nicht gut. Vielleicht schmeckt natürliches Eis auch so und ich habe mich an künstliche Aromen gewöhnt. Ich fand es aber leider garnicht lecker und zu cremig..

    (Translated by Google) Ice cream was average, I can't quite understand the hype .. but I'm not from Cologne and don't know the competition .. but absolutely incomprehensible why one has a cash deposit machine, but does not accept card payments .. that has long been standard elsewhere .. (Original) Eis war durchschnittlich, den Hype kann ich nicht so ganz nachvollziehen.. komme aber auch nicht aus Köln und kenne die Konkurrenz nicht.. jedoch absolut unverständlich wieso man einen Bargeldeinzahlungsautomaten hat, jedoch keine Kartenzahlunh akzeptiert.. das ist woanders längst Standard..

    (Translated by Google) Very tasty and creamy ice cream. There are some cool types of ice cream. Hazelnut and yogurt are the best varieties. The ice cream parlor is very central because it's at the Heumarkt, but I still don't think the location is great. The ice cream parlor is located directly between a tram stop and a bus turning loop and a very busy street, which leads over the Deutzer bridge. There is no holiday feeling. The ice cream is worth 5 points, but the price and location cost one point. (Original) Sehr leckeres und cremiges Eis. Es gibt ein paar coole Eissorten. Haselnuss und Joghurt sind die besten Sorten. Die Eisdiele liegt zwar sehr zentral, da sie beim Heumarkt ist, aber die Lage finde ich trotzdem nicht so toll. Die Eisdiele befindet sich direkt zwischen einer Straßenbahn-Haltestelle und einer Bus-Wendeschleife und einer sehr befahrenen Straße, welche über die Deutzer Brücke führt. Urlaubsfeeling kommt dabei nicht auf. Das Eis ist 5 Punkte wert, der Preis und die Lage kosten aber einen Punkt.
