Kassel: Organic ice-cream
Kassel is a city consisting of many straight and very long avenues. One of them, the Wilhelmshöher Allee, connects the inner city with the train station Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe serving long distance connections, and Europe's largest hillsite park and UNESCO World Heritage site Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe with its impressive baroque monuments. Your way there is sweetened by two organic ice-cream parlours.
Vegans should stop at Frohnatur, a young and dedicated vegan organically certified ice-cream parlour. The flavours are made from a variety of plant-based drinks, supporting the name-giving flavouring ingredient. My favourite is pumpkin seed while less fatty, more subtle flavours such as tonka are missing a round and creamy note. All ice-cream flavours are served made into "spaghetti" or in classic German ball shape, according to your liking, and there's a sundae menu (among others sporting a popcorn sundae). You can get a proper Italian coffee drink and have waffles or a home-made cake. The wafer cones are also home-made, and small pieces are being served with your espresso.
If you like the classical West-German Italian ice-cream parlour with its greasy sundae menu and the brownish-red plastic-coated cushion seats (to name only a few prejudices) a visit to Eiscafé Cortina is a must. You probably wouldn't expect such a place to be 100 percent organic, but here you are, and if you have a fancy for less common flavours in an ice-cream cone on the go it takes a while to make a decision. Traditionalists, rest assured: you'll also find standard flavours, and most organic supermarkets in town and in the vicinity stock pre-packaged Cortina ice-cream in standard flavours. Needless to say that this ice-cream parlour is also a gorgeous place for the classical Italian coffee espresso shot.
