"Mein absolutes Lieblingseiscafe in Gelsenkirchen! Das Eis schmeckt so lecker, Sahne und Schokoborke auch. Die Kugel kostet 1,50 Euro ist aber sehr groß. Seit ca. 50 Jahren holen wir hier Eis. Früher noch bei den alten Besitzern."

"Meiner Meinung nach, die beste Eisdiele auf der Cranger Straße. Leckeres Eis in anständiger Größe, wie auch die Eisbecher. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung!"

"Erster Besuch, Volltreffer. Freundliche Bedienung, leckeres gut Portioniertes Eis, faire mittlerweile übliche Preisgestaltung. Keine Sitzgelegenheiten vor dem Cafe. Brauche ich persönlich an so einer Verkehrstechnisch stark frequentierten Strasse aber auch nicht. Das in anderen Rezensionen als „altbackenes Ambiente“ bezeichnete, gefällt mir, da es zu einem älteren Eiscafe einfach passt! Dazu ist das Cafe sauber und gepflegt. Wir kommen wieder!"
