In late July 2026, the Gelatissimo ice‑cream fair in Stuttgart released its list of the 100 best ice‑cream parlours in Germany. The announcement highlighted five establishments from the Baden‑Württemberg region, specifically focusing on the Karlsruhe area.

Notable selections include Eis Cassata in Karlsruhe’s Oststadt, run by brothers Giuseppe and Pino Cimino, which is recognized for experimental flavours such as “Klopapier-Eis” (toilet‑paper ice) and “Karlsruher-Asphalt.” Following Pino’s 2025 retirement, the shop has transitioned to leadership under Giuseppe.

Other featured businesses include Eis Cristallo in Graben‑Neudorf, owned by Alessandro Toscani and operating since 1882 with a focus on homemade ice cream and ice cakes; Eis Rimini in Gaggenau, part of the Cimino family network; and Gelateria Spatuzzi in Bretten, which has been family‑run since 1983.

The rankings were compiled based on product quality, creativity, and customer appeal, utilizing methods such as photo reviews and price inquiries. While the listed order of the parlours is random, the selection aims to provide visibility for local artisans within the national German landscape. The results are set to appear in an upcoming Gelatissimo publication.
