Ye Olde Icecreamery

Ice cream might be good but the service was terrible.
This is the first time I am reviewing anything but the service was so bad I was compelled to leave my comment.
The lady serving was rude to my daughter and our friends children who were visiting from Sydney. When they asked for a glass of water she wouldn’t give them any until they brought their dishes inside for her and when she finally decided to give them some water she banged a glass on a counter that had a bit of water on the bottom. Our friends children are twins and even after this was explained she gave water to one but to the other girl she refused water.
I don’t know if this is their regular sales person but if she is, anyone with kids might fare better in one of the other ice cream places in Hahndorf.

Ye Olde Icecreamery is something I struggle to pass without stopping in, when I’m travelling through Hahndorf.
You’ve probably guessed that this pace sells ice cream. But it’s not just ice cream. It’s the awesomest ice cream in Hahndorf, Possibly SA.
The ice cream here is home made, so instantly it has loads more flavour than the ice cream most of your ice cream shops serve up.
They also sell lots of other things, for people wanting more than just ice cream. The Kransky dogs are pretty popular. I’ve never had one, but every time I’m there they seem to be pumping them out, so they must be doing something right hey?

Who doesn’t love an icecream on a hot… no, any temperature day? If you answered ‘not me’, you are a very strange individual who probably hates puppies! Why do you hate puppies?
I think any ice cream that is ‘home made’ tastes that much better, even if it doesn’t. To me this cold, sweet goodness was right on the money! Probably a good idea to head here if you’re on a date as the way I figure it, ice cream + holding hands + crafty Hahndorf Stores = possible special friendly time sans clothing!
Also, most punters should know this without me saying, beer DOES NOT go with Ice Cream! So unless you are on the tale end of a session the ice cream will make the beer taste pretty crappy and visa versa… beer flavoured ice cream?

Kransky and ice cream. It’s a winning combination and while there are a few places in Hahndorf that sell both of these items, none do it as well as Ye Olde Ice Creamery.
First thing is the kransky. Now this is Hahndorf, so you can’t have a kransky without sauerkraut. I know the idea of pickled cabbage doesn’t appear to everyone, but I’m sorry, it’s not an option! With a bit of mustard on top you have a winning kransky dog. Eat it slowly and savour it.
When I finish my kransky it’s on to the icecream. Admittedly I don’t get this every time, as there are so many other things to try in Hahndorf. Still, the selections are pretty decent and it seems that unlike me, this is the main reason people go here.
You can get a kransky in Hahndorf quite easily. If you want a GOOD kransky then this is the place to go. Just don’t forget the sauerkraut.

This ice creamery makes good old fashioned ice-​creams, gelati and sorbets, as well as some with a more modern twist.
My favourite here is the Bailey’s and I always order the hot fudge sauce to smother all over my ice-​cream. Lovely.
Along with the tasty Evercream Gelati ice-​creams, gelati and sorbets, this shop sells snacks, such as the Hahndorf Kransky Dog. My mate loves it.
Those with special dietary requirements will be pleased to learn the sorbets are dairy-​free, fat-​free and suitable for vegans. The contain no gelatin, eggs nor gluten.
The shop is set in a quaint, old-​looking building. But as someone who tired of the pseudo-​Early Modern English stock prefix of «ye olde» used by English cafes to cash in on the tourists visiting medieval castles and the like, I find it curious that this ice creamery in a town that is a couple of hundred years old should choose to call itself so.
But no matter, the ice cream tastes great and the staff are nice and offer good service — and that’s all that counts.
