Perfection!!! Best ice cream I've ever had. Antipodean changes the flavour every couple of days and I've been there several times. From all the ice cream shops in Frankfurt, this has hands down the best texture, the best flavours and high quality of ingredients! Not too sweet, not greasy, just perfect. Plus the employees are very nice! Interior is super fun- I mean, what else can you ask for? Whish many, many success!!! If you happen to read my comment and is wondering which flavour. The incredible ones lately: coco matcha + fig mascarpone. So lovely!

A young woman from Australia brings a fresh and innovative approach to gelato, offering bold and creative flavors. Her vibrant personality and energy draw people in, and the shop is always packed with locals lining up—it’s the busiest gelato spot in Frankfurt. The coconut water is raw and incredibly fresh—my first time trying it, and I already want to have it again! The gelato flavors are truly unique and creative, offering tastes you won’t find anywhere else.

One of the best ice cream ever tried. The quality is so much higher compared to what you usually get in Germany!

Interesting flavours, nice small terrace (only one umbrella, though, not sure if it helps the heat). Everything is made on the spot and it tells. On the flip side, everything is too sweet (tried 4 flavours, all abuse sugar), one (banana) was just not good. Dark choco is OK, but not sure if sorbet is right for it - seems like it tries to be vegan but loses on the flavour side All put together, I can't see what justifies double price (3 or 3.50 per ball). Not coming back, sorry.

Hands-down the best gelato place in Frankfurt. Love the variety of flavours they offer and the creativity they put into each flavour. The black sesame gelato is my favourite.

Amazingly beautiful and cozy little place. Easily the best natural gelato in town by some distance. Definitely one of my highlights in Frankfurt and I'm very much looking forward to tasting many more wonderful flavors when I visit again next year. The owner is a very fun and lovely lady too!

Best and real gelato in Frankfurt! Rachel is a master of her craft, everything is made from scratch and all the flavours were simply devine, so much so it was hard to choose one! She was even nice enough to chat to us about her story and answer all my curious questions about gelato and ice cream making. Definitely a must try for anyone living in or visiting Frankfurt!

Definitely the best ice cream shop in town. Pricy (€2,8/ Kugel) but totally worth it! I have to admit even their Vegan options are very tasty - you can easily pick up 2-3 favors, make sure taking their homemade cone waffle, although it costs extra. What I like the most is their size of ice cream Kugel, makes you feel what you paid for, and better than those cheaper but super tiny portion.
