Skriveru home ice cream

One of the best ice creams made in Latvia. Interesting flavours from local ingredients, strawberry sorbet just blew my mind! The owner is there very often, greeting her guests. And we also got a surprise - ice cream made specially for dogs :)

Tasty, the staff is very sweet. I bought a bottle of juice and she told me there aronia was in and I could get a sudden drop in blood pressure. And then she brought me a jar of water to dilute the juice.

Excellent food, very creative ice creams made with local products. The team is very welcoming and family friendly.

Sigh, where do i start. When we entered this cozy little cafe, i was hit hard with the sweet smell of caramel and milk candy. The lady at the counter wore a slightly nervous smile as i asked her to translate their lunch menu. If you're reading this, odds are you know of this place because of their home made ice cream. Let me tell you, they combine savory dishes, like the salad and roasted trout we had, with savoury ice cream. Horse raddish or tarragon, for example. We figured, the trout will take a while so we should have some of their sweet flavors as an appetizer. A classic combination like rum and raisins or a slightly unorthodox oatmeal caramel were good, but the peppermint one really surprised me. The lightness of both texture and flavor was so spot on. If anyone has ever had tea made of dry peppermint leaves, its kind of like that, but its chilled, creamy (and made of dreams). This shortly prompted another round, this time consisting of their cottage cheese, (which tasted a lot of condensed milk), quince (properly sour, unlike those commercial ones i've had before) and beer ice cream, which tasted more of kvass, but if you told me it's a local dark lager, i would believe you. After this, the savoury dishes took a few more minutes. A cheese and greens salad with tarragon ice cream felt almost like a sourcream based salad, but the cream was slightly sweet, and in frozen ball form in the middle of the plate. You could also tell they use quality ingredients, because the olive oil used tasted good and not at all like the discount stuff. Our four cheese pancake also had tarragon ice cream in the middle. It was also sprinkled with sun dried tomatoes and pesto, its a good, safe combination that really works almost anywhere. The trout took a few minutes longer but it was so worth the wait. The whole fish, oven roasted, stuffed with sage and lemon wedges, a large salad on the side and a ball of horse raddish ice cream. If you dislike horseraddish because of how intense it is, you might still end up loving this. Its wonderfully light and easy on the tongue, the ice cream form of it is creamy and slightly sweet, which perfectly complements the bitterness and dilutes it to a more manageable form. The bittersweet along with the fish, lemon and sage is a flavor combination i will definitely remember. With some refinement, this would not be out of place as a main course at a fancy restaurant. During our meal, the staff checked up on us, making sure we were happy and they just generally felt happy that we were there, which in turn made me feel good in a way i haven't felt in a restaurant for a long long time.
Oh and also, the portions are pretty big, we shared the 3 dishes and all of the ice cream between 4 people, which felt just a bit excessive.
Overall, if any lunch experience ive had so far deserves a 5 star rating, its this. Highly recommended and we will return for sure.

I enjoyed my visit here so much not only because of the service that really makes you feel you are not missing anything but also and especially because the absolutely insane combinations of food and ice cream. It blew my mind and definitely made me look at ice cream from a different angle.

I will definitely come back.

A nice friendly place with great ice cream and great attitude. Our big dog was welcomed and very happy!

Best ice cream and the biggest portion ever!

My dog got a free scoop of vanilla ice cream which he enjoyed tremendously.

Best ice cream and sweet service.
Also a cute place to sit and enjoy 🍦

1000% worth the drive out to Skriveri! The train station is really close too, so even if you don't drive there's really no excuse to miss out on this amazing ice cream experience.

An excellent range of unique and exotic ice cream comparable to Italian gelato! I didn't even expect to see this in Skriveri. Delicious! The only disadvantage is that they do not accept card payments.

Awesome and tasty ice cream. You can choose from beer, charcoal, berry, and many more interesting flavours.
