Ismageriet's first shop on Kongelundsvej opened in 2005, nestled in a villa that, since 1958, had been a popular family-owned bakery. When Ismageriet's founder stumbled upon this charming bakery in 2003, he immediately fell in love with its cozy retro interior, which remained beautifully preserved from its late-50s origins.

Later, in 2016, Ismageriet expanded with another shop at Søborg Hovedgade 34, moving from our quaint but compact beginnings on Kongelundsvej to the shop in Mikado House near DR Byen. By 2023, Ismageriet was able to open the doors to yet another shop at Flæsketorvet 45-55 in Kødbyen.

Ismageriet's ice cream is inspired by classic Italian gelato and is crafted right in the back rooms of each shop, in small batches throughout the day. This ensures that the ice in the display is always freshly made, boasting the perfect creamy consistency.

Our vision is to offer our customers homemade ice cream of the highest quality, alongside a wide range of exciting flavors. Ismageriet's selection is therefore seasonal and changes weekly, so there's always something new to taste.

Our milk ice cream is crafted by heating our base ingredients – milk, sugar, skimmed milk powder, and stabilizer. This heating process melts the ingredients together and eliminates any bacteria. This process is called pasteurization. Once that's done, the base is cooled down, allowed to rest for 12 hours, and then it's all set to become ice cream. This transformation happens when our ice cream makers add flavor ingredients like coconut, caramel, chocolate, and more, and then run the base through our ice cream machine. 

Our sorbets are made by blending raw berries or fruits with sugar, water, and lemon. Since we use fresh berries and fruits, their sweetness can vary significantly, so we use sugar and lemon to adjust the flavor. Next, a vegetable stabilizer is added, and the base is now ready to be processed in our ice cream machine. 

We use natural and fresh ingredients.

Some of our key ingredients are:

• Milk and cream supplied by Arla.
• Hazelnuts, pistachios, and almonds sourced from Italy.
• In-season fresh berries from local gardens.
