Soft serve in Mainz.
Soft serve like Mainz has never seen: bourbon vanilla or vegan, in the black waffle cone with chocolate core. Four paths. One spiral. No scooped ice cream — and that is exactly the point.
Two paths.
Both paths work with every tier. More on the vegan path: vegan soft serve in Mainz.
Four tiers.
Every tier comes as White or Vegan — same price. Full overview: the menu.
The crack.
Four variants for DUNKED — dipped hard, cracks open on the first bite:
Not a parlour.
Soft serve is spun fresh from the machine at around −6 °C — creamier and warmer than scooped ice cream from the freezer. No 24 flavours in a display case, but two perfect bases and a system of tiers, shells, toppings and 15 sauces.
That is why Gaust is not a classic ice cream parlour but a soft serve bar: no scoops, no seats, to go. Gaustrasse is your living room.
