Eismanufaktur — Restaurant in Berlin

Taste was quite good, but texture wasn't smooth in any of the varieties (we tried three). There are better places in Berlin.

EDIT (in response to owners comment):

Sorry for my short review. I give you more details now.

We actually tried four different flavours in total: milk chocolate ice cream, salted caramel ice cream, pineapple & mint sorbet and williams birne sorbet. Might be have been also sherbet, but it's irrelevant in this case. (Excuse me if the names are not exact.)

Like I said, we liked the flavours. If not spectacular, but very good indeed, so I gave you a four star review, very good on my personal scale. Maybe it was unnecessary to state that there are better places in Berlin, naturally a personal opinion. But it's my opinion anyway.

The texture of both of the sorbets (or sherbets) were quite granular to our taste. They both felt a bit like a slushie. It's a matter of opinion, naturally. This is a review after all.

Bigger problem was the texture of the ice creams. They were also a bit granular, which is not a characteristic of high quality ice cream. In my opinion, but maybe you think differently.

Maybe we just had bad luck, or maybe we didn't understand your style. However, after the tone of the response to my review and to many other reviews, I don't feel like trying your products again. It's still a four star review, but I just don't relate to your style of doing your business.

Now I also understand why the service seemed quite depressed; management seems to be insecure, arrogant...

My son loves salzig caramel ice cream here, it's his favorite. I tried few varieties but unfortunately none impressed me (strangely the milk base ice creams were little too icy-waterish): pistachio (7/10), cinnamon (5/10), yogurt-peach (7/10). Scoops are 2,60 now

Review from 2 years ago: Generally scoops became more expensive all over Berlin (as other foods), so a 2 euro scoop is a norm at the moment in better ice cream shops. But we took small scoops for 1,40 to try out different varieties. They are actually normal size and the "normal" are actually oversized scoops. Ice cream was very good, I tried matcha which was a pleasant surprise, pistachio (a nice real pistachio flavor, no artificial coloring) dark chocolate (strong and little bitter- perfect for dark chocolate lovers) and milk chocolate. My son had sorbets: strawberry and mango (excellent, both full of flavor) and I tried passionfruit (it was little too acidic for my taste but still delicious). All in all, very good ice cream, not the best I've ever had but still very very good. The lady who worked was super nice and pleasant, more helpful than in other ice cream shops we visited.

I wish I had chance to try more of unusual varieties, as at this moment they mostly had the usual flavors... wish they had strawberry mint again or some...

Wir waren heute in Neukölln und haben die Eismanufaktur wegen ihrer guten Bewertungen ausgesucht. Wir haben einige Sorten ausprobiert. Meine Kinder waren zufrieden, wenn auch nicht hellauf begeistert. Ich muss dazu sagen, dass wir sehr viel Eis essen, normalerweise bei unserem Spandauer Original mit dem blauen F. An die ist nur schwer ranzukommen.

Positiv viel mir die Vielfalt auf. Besonders, dass es genauso viele vegane Sorten gibt, wie Milcheissorten. Die Bedienung war freundlich, der Laden sauber, und es gibt sogar vegane Eiswaffeln. Der stolze Preis von 1,60 € pro Kugel ist meiner Meinung allerdings nicht gerechtfertigt. Dafür müsste es schon top Qualität sein.

Unter all unseren getesteten Eissorten waren: Haselnuss, Stracciatella, Pfirsisch-Joghurt, Mango, Zitrone, Erdbeer, Schokolade No. 7 und Vegane Schokolade. Davon waren die Sorbets sehr gut, und die Haselnuss war ganz passabel, Stracciatella und Schokolade No. 7 nicht so toll. Da frag ich mich, wie die No 1 -6 geschmeckt haben. Normalerweise entwickelt man sich doch weiter.

Die vegane Schokolade ging leider gar nicht. Meine Tochter hat eine Milchallergie und war begeistert, dass es Schokolade für sie gab. Dann hat sie es nach 3 Löffeln weggestellt. So was hat sie noch nie gemacht. Ich hab es dann probiert und fand es ebenfalls ungenießbar.

Ich gehe davon aus, dass es auf Wasserbasis ist wie ein Sorbet - also Wasser, Kakao und Zucker. Kein bisschen cremig. Offensichtlich haben Veganer sehr geringe Ansprüche, was den Geschmack betrifft. Dabei geht es besser. Auf der Basis von Mandelmilch oder Kokosnuss lassen sich super leckere Schokoeis herstellen. Ich kann mir nur vorstellen, dass man ein Eis ohne Allergiepotential machen wollte. Leider ist es auch eins ohne...
