Das Eis
The Pancake, Burgermeister, The Butterkeks
A repeat winner of several awards in Frankfurt, and continuously sporting a queue, Das Eis purports to be one of Germany’s most popular purveyors of Ice Cream, though based on a single visit the shop’s notoriety seems more dependent on a high-traffic location than anything about the product itself.
Found just a few meters from museums, churches and the shops of Altstadt, opening hours of 12h00 on weekdays and 10h00 on Saturday ongoing till 18h00, it was after a brief wait that English-fluent servers placed three scoops in a bowl for 6€, the hard-packed texture immediately off-putting with “The Pancake” over-churned to the point of crystallization and only Butterkeks offering any real depth thanks to the roasted Nuts mingling with Chocolate and Shortbread.
