Eissalon Tuchlauben
Many Viennese ice cream lovers think that the ice cream shop at the Tuchlauben offers one of the best ice creams in the inner city. Especially those who like their ice cream not too creamy will prefer this place. The very popular shop is unfortunately small inside and also the terrace in front of the building offers space for just a few tables. Due to that it can happen that you have to wait for a free table. If you have overcame this obstacle you can choose out of a broad offer of different ice cream creations and types. Usually the service of the waiters is rather fast.

At this small ice cream shop you have no possibility to sit down at a table. Here you only get your ice cream for take away at the counter. But this minor disadvantage is acceptable.

Besides milk ice creams you get also here some types which are vegan. To get a portion of these delicacies you need most times to line up in a long queue. But the waiting time which you need here is a good investment here.

Unfortunately the shop at the Schwedenplatz is not located at a very nice place in the city center but there is at least a wide pedestrian area directly in front of the building. With a bit of luck you should be able to get a table at the terrace and you can watch the people passing by from the metro and tram station. Several ice cream specialists praise the quality and taste of the offered ice cream and some even rate it as the best in the city. Especially if you like creamy ice you should come here. Anyway the rush of customers confirms the different positive critics.
