Schmelzpunkt

The guys from TörtchenTörtchen have long cemented their reputation as cake professionals; their next project involves ice cream, which they sell from their shop that opened in the Südstadt in March 2019. The menu lists flavours you won’t find anywhere else; I fell in love with tonka bean, strawberry-lime-and-mint and caramel with fleur-de-sel. Incredibly moreish! The milk they use comes from a dairy in the Bergisches Land west of Cologne, earning Schmelzpunkt – which translates to “melting point” – brownie points for using regional produce. Sustainability also plays a role: the serving cups are compostable. We like!
