ENGLISH: Homemade ice cream in a neighborhood café just five walking minutes from Aachen city hall!…read moreEiscafé Alkuin is the new name of Bubel's Eiscafé, after Werner Bubelewitz sold his business to the new owner. Reopened in May 2016, the new place kept all the furniture, machinery and practice of great homemade ice cream from its predecessor. This place is ideally situated in a quiet side street right next to a kids' playground and benches in the shade of tall maple trees. The ice cream is delicious - the owner prides himself in natural ingredients, and you may run into him buying his strawberries in the nearby REWE market for his strawberry ice cream. Try his flavors "Sahnegrieß-Himbeer", "Marzipan-Karamell" or "Latte Macchiato", and make sure to ask for his homemade strawberry sauce! There is outdoor and indoor seating, prices are moderate, and the owner is very friendly and often finds the time for a little chat, whether about boxing or Paul Auster's novels. This is where the locals meet whenever it's not raining (hard). :) DEUTSCH: Hausgemachtes Eis in einer gemütlichen Eisdiele nur 5 Fußminuten vom Aachener Marktplatz! Eiscafé Alkuin ist der neue Name von Bubels Eiscafé, nachdem Werner Bubelewitz sein Geschäft an den neuen Eigentümer verkauft hat. Mit der Neueröffnung im Mai 2016 hat das Eiscafé nicht nur die Ausstattung, sondern auch die Tradition toller hausgemachter Eiscreme übernommen. Das Café liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße an einem Platz im Schatten großer Ahornbäume neben Sitzbänken und einem kleinen Kinderspielplatz. Das Eis ist wirklich lecker - der Besitzer schwört auf natürliche Zutaten, und man trifft ihn gelegentlich beim Erdbeerkauf im REWE nebenan für sein Erdbeereis. Die Sorten "Himbeer-Sahnegrieß", "Marzipan-Karamell" und "Latte Macchiato" muss man probieren - und nicht vergessen, nach der hausgemachten Erdbeersauce zu fragen! Man kann draußen und drinnen sitzen, die Preise sind gemäßigt, es gibt kostenloses Freifunk-WLAN, und der Besitzer ist sehr nett und hat immer Zeit für einen kleinen Klönschnack, ob übers Boxen oder Paul Austers Romane. Hier trifft sich die Nachbarschaft, wenn es nicht (heftig) :) regnet.

By far the best ice-cream I ever had. Being a traditional family business, ice-cream is produced…read morethe old fashioned way while the guests are watching. However, the ingredients are a well kept secret. The portions are served with a big spatula very generously; all for a price that I paid as a kid (a long time ago ) And, now the best: The fluffy ice-cream has such an incredible deep, rich and natural flavor; it's just unbelievable!!! P. S. Delzepich is open only during summertime when it's not raining.

Hands down THE BEST ICECREAM in Aachen. HUGE portions freshly prepared in old school ice machines…read moreand friendly service. Be prepared to stand in line, but you will be rewareded with delicious flavors!

Awesome Ice Cream ! The ice cream itself is a reason to step…read moreby, albeit not being in the area in the first place... Besides the outstanding taste, they offer a great selection of standard as well as individual ice cream "tastes"... The Location itself is ok, but not very fancy. Looks like a typical ice cream place and the outside area is next to a street (I have to admit, a rather quiet one). But considering the nearby Juelich Zitadelle (Castle) it is IMHO the best idea to take a cup/ cone and walk/ sit in the park of the Zitadelle.

Real Italian ice cream. Very friendly staff. Great quality and delicious. I love this place …read more.. also money wise!

Is it the best ice cream I've ever had? Maybe. Is it the best ice cream I've had in recent memory?…read moreDefinitely! And that includes a trip to Berthillon last week! Just had 2 scoops here at the bargain price of 2.60! What?!! I'm not sure you can get two scoops of bad ice cream at that price in the U.S. I probably would have been fine with one scoop, but I was having a hard time choosing a flavor, and it was a bargain, and I go home in a week...Anyway, with one of the server's help, I decided on a scoop of Ferrero Rocher and a scoop of lemon sorbet. I knew I wanted to try something chocolatey (because chocolate has not failed me in either Germany or Belgium so far, and Aachen is this hybrid city,) and thought about how I always love orange and chocolate combinations. So wouldn't lemon and chocolate be nice?- I couldn't be more wrong. The lemon sorbet was good, and, perhaps the most pristinely white food I've ever eaten. However, it probably would have paired better with something more fruity. Now, the Ferrero Rocher! This is the best thing I've had on my 6 week trip to Europe in the sense that I did not want the experience to end!!!! So I guess I would recommend it. ;) Yes, without a doubt I would! And the lesson learned here is, if you are in one of Western Europe's best ice cream towns, and there is a choice of Ferraro Rocher ice cream (and you love chocolate, hazelnuts and Ferrero Rocher), ask for two scoops!!!

Very good ice cream and not too expensive. They have a selection of about 20 different flavors. In…read moreaddition to getting ice cream in a cone or cup you can also get more fancy sundaes. You can order from the street or sit inside. If you need to bring dessert to a party one idea would be to get a 'platter' of 10 scoops of ice cream (any mix of flavors). That costs 9 Euro.
