Eiskaffee at Teufelhof Café in Basel



Currently I'm addicted to "Eiskaffee" at Teufelhof Café. There's always some sweet thing I'm addicted to - cheesecake at Tibits, Schoggiweggli (a sweet bun dotted with chocolate chunks) at Bachmann and on and on... 

Mostly known in German-speaking countries, Eiskaffee is a type of ice cream sundae that usually consists of two scoops of vanilla ice cream, espresso in the best case or regular coffee in the worst case, and a topping of whipped cream. My favorite Eiskaffee in Basel is served at Teufelhof Café. It's my favorite because they use home-made vanilla ice cream, which is by far much better than most store-bought kinds often used at other cafés. 

The Teufelhof Café is one of my favorite places to go because due to its location slightly off the main shopping streets it's usually not crowded on a Saturday afternoon when I like to go and they have nice outside garden seating as well as cozy inside seating with comfy chairs and stylish marble tables.
