The guy who edited on me was a curmudgeon, but he seemed like a curmudgeon who could be caught occasionally smiling. I just wasn't special enough to get one of his smiles. Regardless, he knows how to scoop ice cream.

I stumbled upon this cafe selling Gelato on a summer day and couldn't resist ordering it. I once…read morespent a summer in Italy allegedly studying, but mostly eating gelato EVERY single day, so my taste-buds are pretty finely attuned to good gelato. And this one was SO LEGIT!!! I started talking to the server who turns out to be the owner - he is italian and has been running this cafe for decades (I think he said since 1983 but don't quote me) - AND THE GELATO IS HOMEMADE!!! NO WONDER IT WAS SO DAMN BLOODY GOOD AND AUTHENTIC!!! i had the Yogurt, Straciatella and Hazelnut. All delicious, my personal favorite was the yogurt - all the pinkberry and red mangos of the world don't compare - THIS is how a frozen yogurt treat should taste!

On a warm day in spring, Ascension Day 2016, was a nice day in the Black Forest, we stopped on the…read moreway back to the camp site in Staufen for an ice cream. This place was recommended and I intend to agree with the previous positive reviews. The ice-store is located in the main street in Staufen and with warm wetter, you cannot overlook the queue. It took us about about 10-15 minutes. Is it worth waiting? Yes! I tasted the Muskateller wine ice and the pear-gingerbread. The latter taste was special, it was good, but in the end I will not take it again (not my taste). The first one, Muskateller wine ice, I definitely would reconsider. It's a kind of tasteful sorbet ice. Really good. Score: 4 out of 5

On vacation in Freiburg Germany and came across this coffee, pastry and ice cream shop. The line…read morefor ice cream is out the door and it's 40 degrees out. I had the caramel hot coffee and apple pie. My husband had a chocolate coffee and blueberry crumble cake. It was delicious. I forgot to take pictures because I was so hungry. The ice cream creations the waiters were carrying were amazing. The restaurant had about 20 tables and was very light and airy. I would definitely recommend and come back.

The breakfast menu looks impressive at first glance and the prices seem acceptable, although i had high expectations coming from the gastronomy and knowing what should be expected from this venue. I ordered Breakfast number 528 as pictured. On first impression I noticed that the bread/pastry ratio to butter, ham and cheese is only enough for one roll. I asked the waitress if this was a normal portion, as i had noticed that the service staff prepare the breakfast, I do not agree with this due to a few reasons but one is the consistency of the food being served due to whomever is preparing it. The waitress responded that it is a normal portion size for the price. I disagree however. Only one slice of ham was served and one piece of cheese cut in half to look like two slices. Besides the small portion I then noticed that marmalade was past its date by two months which I had replaced. Unfortunately I had only noticed the honey was 8 months past its date after I had eaten it! After doing some research I was put at ease after reading that archaeologists had found and sampled Honey from within Egyptian Tombs, due to its high sugar content it apparently never expires! However, that being said, restaurants are responsible for controlling products with use by dates and not sending them out to the customer. They should only keep enough stock that they will use up before it expires. Getting back to Portofino, I have been sitting here now,with an empty plate and one unused roll, for over 40 minutes! I would like to order another coffee because that is really very good! I was going to write this review later today but decided to start it now to find out how long they will leave me waiting in a moderately empty restaurant! Don't get me wrong, Portofino is a nice place to grab a coffee and an ice cream but I would recommend going to the Bermuda triangle instead for breakfast!
