Forester Max GbR

Located in the heart of Freiburg’s Wiehre neighborhood, Förster Max invites you to enjoy a delightful little break amid historic buildings and urban charm. The café combines an ice cream parlor, patisserie, and chocolaterie, and has long been more than just a classic ice cream shop: it’s a lovingly designed place for relaxed indulgence and social gatherings. The star of the show is the ice cream—made fresh daily according to in-house recipes and with a clear focus on seasonal, high-quality ingredients. The menu is complemented by homemade cakes, delicate tartlets, waffles, and hand-crafted chocolate creations. The commitment to quality craftsmanship is palpable: as part of the Slow Food movement, the team consciously prioritizes regional products. Whether on the sunny terrace, in the small garden, or in the charming historic rooms—Förster Max creates an atmosphere that invites you to linger. People gather here for breakfast, afternoon coffee, or simply for a scoop of ice cream between meals. The café is also particularly popular for its creative offerings, such as baking and chocolate-making classes, as well as its mobile ice cream bike for events.
