Mauß has been THE "go-to" ice cream parlor for Ottakring and Penzing for decades. Every Spring…read morefriends announce to me in passing, "Mauß hat geöffnet! " It's the first hint of Summer in the neighborhood. People who are from the area grew up going to Mauß for an after school treat. It's a real neighborhood monument.
Of course it's wonderful for children especially since it's located near the Karl-Kantner-Park which has a recently renovated playground.
