#01 · WHAT IS GAUST

GAUST.

A new address on Gaustrasse. But that’s only the surface.

Gaust is a soft serve ice cream bar in Mainz old town, Gaustrasse 13, 55116 Mainz. Premium soft serve in a black waffle cone — bourbon vanilla or vegan, at no extra charge — plus espresso and unconventional drinks. Not a classic ice cream parlour: no scoops.

Soft-serve that starts it all.
Espresso that belongs here.
Cola, rethought.
Matcha in the fourth dimension.
An off menu written nowhere.
A street that has already seen it all.

GAUST represents Mainz.
In every facet.

Subculture. Streetwear. Mainz attitude.
Whatever you seek, you find it on Gaustrasse.

Come by. Soak up the Gaustrasse vibe.

GETTING HERE · HOW TO FIND US

Tram

Get off at Schillerplatz, then two minutes uphill. The tram through Gaustrasse runs Germany’s steepest tram line. You’ll feel it.

On foot

From Schillerplatz or St. Stephan’s — three minutes either way. See the Chagall windows first, then soft serve. Full pilgrimage.

By car

Park at the police HQ car park or Schillerplatz — then walk up the hill. The Gautor car park works too, from there you walk down. With a bit of luck you’ll find a spot right on Gaustrasse. Gaustrasse 13 — the black spiral on the building is hard to miss.
