Enjoy with all senses

A unique ambience

When you enter the ice cream parlour in the SPIELZEUGHAUS the Historical Toy Museum in Freinsheim, you will immediately notice the special surroundings, the sandstone "Bing Cave" and large black and white photos from old childhood days. A successful compromise between modernity and cultural-historical reference, located directly at the southern city wall of the historic old town. A wooden ice cream cabinet from the 1930s and an ancient ice cream machine are among the exhibits in the museum, as are old pewter ice cream cups and brass champagne buckets. The almost 2,000 diverse toys in this unique museum come from the same manufacturer in Nuremberg.


Welcome to the ice cream parlour Laterna Magica

Delicious Italian ice cream, the best coffee specialties still made by hand, as well as the friendly atmosphere will help you feel at home with us. We constantly have 20 changing ice cream varieties on offer. Our fruit ice cream is lactose-free. Of course we also serve a wide range of drinks. These include Freinsheim wines as well as regional beer specialties from the Welde brewery. Since 2012 we have warm apple strudel with ice cream and whipped cream as well as, depending on the season, delicious crêpes and cakes from the Buchmüller family bakery on offer. You can enjoy your fresh strawberry cup or handmade latte macchiato on our wonderful place at the creek or in case of bad weather in our "Bing cave". If you would like more quiet time for you and your loved ones, we recommend our cozy and always interesting special exhibition room. The production of our delicious ice cream specialities requires your time, as each fruit is freshly cut for your sundae. We therefore ask for your understanding if, exceptionally, you should wait a little longer than usual for your order. We will reward your patience with the freshness and taste of our little works of art.
