Macarons | IJssalon Dutch Homemade
4.6Google scoreKleine Berg 49, 5611 JS Eindhoven
Macarons and ice cream on Kleine Berg, in the center's dining heart. The macarons are at least as famous as the ice cream, and many visitors combine the two. The terrace on the city's most convivial street completes it.

How are these scores determined?
The Scooped score is based on reviews from users of the Scooped app, who rate parlors and flavors per visit. A parlor receives a Scooped score once it has 5 reviews; until then, the Google score is shown as an indication. It is always labeled separately and never blended with Scooped scores. Parlors only enter the list with a Google score of at least 4.5 and at least 25 ratings, so the length of the list varies per city.
How often is this list updated?
The ranking is generated automatically from the current scores in the Scooped database, so it is always up to date.
