If you want to experience authentic artisan ice cream with your children in Prague, Zmrzlinář is a place you cannot miss. This family-run business, rooted in the Hrivňák family, has a charming Prague branch in Vinohrady (Slezská 15) that offers a welcoming and authentic atmosphere for ice cream lovers. Zmrzlinář serves 16 daily flavors – four classic favorites (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and pistachio) and 12 seasonal or creative combinations inspired by the makers. Half of the selection is sorbets, which are vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free, so there’s something for everyone. In addition to ice cream, there is a wide range of toppings and sauces, as well as desserts, accompanied by coffee or other beverages.
One of the most exciting features of the shop is that ice cream and other orders are delivered on a small train, running along tracks through half of the shop, making it a fun experience for younger children. The interior is cozy and family-friendly, with several tables, making it easy for families to visit. The staff is friendly, and the family-oriented atmosphere is noticeable immediately – children can choose their favorite scoops while parents enjoy a cup of coffee or tea.
The shop also has spacious restrooms with a changing table and basic hygiene supplies, making it convenient for families with young children. Zmrzlinář is the perfect spot for a family afternoon – kids enjoy ice cream and entertainment, parents can relax, and the whole family leaves with a memorable experience.
