The 3 best ice cream shops in Maastricht

Maastricht is the most Burgundian city in the Netherlands, and its ice cream proves it. Around the Vrijthof, in the Stokstraat quarter and across the river Meuse in Wyck, gelaterias blend Italian craftsmanship with Limburg hospitality. Here, a cone belongs with a riverside stroll or an afternoon on a terrace. This list ranks Maastricht's best-rated ice cream parlors.

    IJssalon Madaq

    Muntstraat 46, 6211 EK Maastricht

    The Maastricht branch of chocolatier Madaq, on Muntstraat in the shopping heart. Chocolate and ice cream under one roof, and for many the city's finest ice cream spot. The chocolate flavors and the vegan options stand out.

    Frankenstraat 198, 6224 GV Maastricht

    Ice cream and coffee on Frankenstraat, a staple for Wyckerpoort and beyond. A neighborhood shop in the best sense: personal service and generous scoops at a fair price.

    Café-Zaal-IJssalon 't Kölke

    4.5Google score

    Dorpstraat 23, 6227 BK Maastricht

    Café, hall and ice cream parlor in Heer, a village classic within city limits. The kind of place where three generations share a table. The ice cream is old-fashioned in the best way.

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.
