Vanille & Marille Steglitz

Berlin ice cream maker since 2009, in Steglitz on Leydenallee: house recipes without premixes, from Tahiti vanilla to mojito sorbet.

Vanille & Marille started in 2009 in a Kreuzberg backyard and now runs ice cream shops in several districts, one of them on Leydenallee near Rathaus Steglitz. Everything is produced in-house, to its own recipes and with green power from hydroelectricity.

The ice cream is made without artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives and without industrial premixes, and many ingredients are regional or fair trade. Classics sit next to more unusual flavours in the counter: original Tahiti vanilla, Sicilian pistachio and 73 percent Venezuelan chocolate, alongside caramel beurre salé, peanut with house-baked brownies, walnut with fig or Mojito Cubano, a sorbet with rum, mint and lime. There are always vegan and lactose-free flavours, and almost all are made without gluten-containing ingredients.
