The signature Jones flavor that showcases their philosophy: quality ingredients and thoughtful combinations. The Earl Grey tea is infused into the ice cream base, creating a floral, slightly bitter flavor. Homemade shortbread pieces add crunch and buttery sweetness, while handmade lemon curd provides tart contrast. The three components work together — the tea, the cookie, the citrus — creating a complex and balanced flavor profile. Reviewers consistently cite this as one of the best ice cream flavors in Berlin.
Tips from diners
Start with this flavor — it demonstrates what Jones does best: simple flavor combinations executed with precision.
The shortbread pieces and lemon curd are made in-house — that level of detail is why Jones stands out from other ice cream shops.
Jones makes their own cones daily — they're thinner and crisper than industrial cones, and add a textural element to the ice cream. The cone itself is a reminder of the restaurant's commitment to making everything in-house rather than outsourcing components.
Tips from diners
The house-made cone is thinner and better than standard cones — it's worth noting the difference.
Standard single or double scoop servings. A cup is ideal if you want to try multiple flavors or if you prefer something other than a cone.
Tips from diners
Order cups so you can share multiple flavors — much better than each getting a single cone.
Beyond the Earl Grey, Jones rotates through approximately 40 flavors, maintaining about 20 at any time. Classics include vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry — all made with quality ingredients. Creative options rotate through: cardamom, olive oil, brown butter, seasonal fruits, and unexpected combinations. Every flavor gets the same attention to detail: house-made components, balanced recipes, and thoughtful ingredient selection.
Tips from diners
Ask what's available today — the menu rotates frequently, so each visit offers new possibilities.
The creative flavors are always changing. If you see cardamom or brown butter, they're worth trying.
Jones capitalizes on seasonal availability: summer brings stone fruits and berries, fall features apples and pears, winter offers citrus and warming spices. Seasonal flavors are special collaborations between the ice cream base and that moment's best ingredients. Reviews highlight these as 'must-try' offerings.
Tips from diners
Seasonal flavors are highlights — if you see strawberry in June or plum in August, go for it.
Jones Ice Cream produces small-batch ice cream in Berlin, with all components made in-house: shortbread, marshmallows, cones, and syrups. The flavor catalog rotates through approximately 40 options, though only about half are available at any time. The Kreuzberg location on Wiener Straße is one of three Berlin branches. The Earl Grey shortbread flavor — made with homemade shortbread pieces and handmade lemon curd — exemplifies their approach: simple ideas executed with care and quality ingredients.
Opens at 1pm weekdays (12pm weekends) and closes at 7pm weekdays (8pm weekends). Plan accordingly — it's a small shop and peak time (3-5pm) can get busy.
Single and double scoops are the same price (4.50 euros) — always get a double if you want to try two flavors.
Perfect spot for a casual dessert visit after dinner elsewhere in Kreuzberg. Grab ice cream and eat it while walking the neighborhood.
