I thought it was the best Ice cream I've ever tried. They truly know what they are doing...big lines in front waiting

Ballabeni is close to the university and has quite a following, as you'll see by the long lines it commands. I had raspberry and lemon basil and found them both to be excellent. Those with me also thoroughly enjoyed their selections. Nice addition were the edible bowls (like a very thin, airy almost tasteless cone but in a square shape).... More

Really good ice cream. I`m Italian and I think I know how ice cream should taste like... This place sells definitely the best in Munich. The only place where ice cream can be better is Italy!

It's just unanimous. There is no doubt this is the best ice cream in town. I recommend the Chocolate with ginger.

Good ice cream, but definitely not exceptional and not worth the long queue and the higher price. The taste range is very limited and they don't seem interested in trying something new: they've had the same tastes for at least three years now. The cone is mediocre. To conclude: I would recommend going to another ice cream shop, there are... More

flavours change regularly but if you are lucky try Haselnuss (hazelnut)! Sometimes you need to wait for a long time to get the ice cream because of the demand.

Went here twice in one week because it was so fantastic. Flavours change regularly... Love the little taste tester of another flavour that they give you with your icecream

Small, expensive and overly sophisticated, that is what i think about balla beni. Brought there by locals, as it is supposed to be the best ice-cream in munich. After having stood 20 minutes in the sun in line, it was finally our turn to order ice cream. The selection was very limited, 10 or so flavors. And they were mostly... More

The 30 minute line and pricey ice cream was WELL WORTH IT! I am an ice cream nut, and this is really one of the best places I've ever been. The ice cream is so, so, creamy and smooth and flavorful. I had the milk and mint, hazelnut, and also the chocolate. The flavors were so intense and rich -... More

And they don't accept Visa. This ice cream stand offers some outstanding ice cream and sherbet flavors. We tried most of them before running out of euros. It is a perfect stop after visiting nearby museums. There always is a line, but it moves quickly. The only seating is a couple of outside benches, so dress for the weather and... More
