Fancy an ice cream or a dessert in the centre of Mulhouse? Between two shops, after a visit or to round off a meal, our ice-cream sundaes and sweet crêpes are served all day, a stone's throw from the place de la Réunion. Here is a quick tour of the classics, and their stories.
Our artisan ice cream
Our ice cream is made without preservatives and with fresh fruit. All year round, the sorbets come in lemon, strawberry, raspberry and mandarin, and the creamy ice creams in coffee, salted butter caramel, chocolate, hazelnut, coconut and vanilla. Seasonal flavours are listed on our boards, by the scoop, with or without homemade whipped cream.
The great classics
The Dame Blanche
Three scoops of vanilla ice cream, melted chocolate and whipped cream. The contrast between hot and cold is what makes it so charming. Its origins remain a mystery; in Switzerland and Germany, it is also known as the "coupe Danemark".
Café liégeois and chocolat liégeois
Two scoops of coffee and one of vanilla with an espresso and whipped cream, or two scoops of chocolate and one of vanilla with melted chocolate. Despite its name, the liégeois is not a speciality of Liège: it used to be the "café viennois" (Viennese coffee), renamed in Paris in tribute to Liège's resistance against the German army in August 1914. In Liège, by the way, people still call it café viennois!
The affogato
A scoop of vanilla with an espresso poured over it, and whipped cream. In Italian, affogato means "drowned": the ice cream drowns in the coffee. The simplest dessert on the menu, and one of the best ways to end a meal.
The Banana Split
A banana, one scoop each of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, melted chocolate and whipped cream. According to the most widespread version, it was born in 1904 in a pharmacy in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
Our house sundaes
- Coupe Crampous: two scoops of vanilla, one of salted butter caramel, salted caramel cream and whipped cream. Salted butter caramel, a Breton speciality, was the obvious choice to carry our name.
- Coupe Corrézienne: two scoops of hazelnut, one of vanilla, chestnut cream, melted chocolate and whipped cream. It is named after Corrèze, a region known for its chestnuts.
- Sunday Fraise: two scoops of strawberry, one of vanilla, strawberry syrup and whipped cream.
How about an ice-cream crêpe?
With us, ice cream also pairs with crêpes: Canadienne Royale (maple syrup, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream), Colombine (chestnut cream, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream), Écureuil (hazelnut ice cream, salted butter caramel and whipped cream), Mélusine (raspberries, blueberries and raspberry sorbet), Coco des bois (blueberries, coconut and coconut sorbet) or Iceberg, with three scoops of your choice. And for fans of flambéed desserts, the Normande Royale combines caramelised apple, vanilla ice cream and Calvados. All our flambéed crêpes are presented in our article Flambéed crêpes: from Suzette to Normande.
