Cafe Lauben In Merano

21/07/2025: They serve ice cream, snacks, and drinks until late in the evening, which is great. They also serve ice cream to go, and it tastes great. We sat next door twice and saw the huge ice cream sundaes being served. So we wanted to go here for ice cream. However, the selection of ice cream sundaes was rather limited, and the prices were quite high. They were then brought in a simple bowl with no visual appeal (at least the brittle bowl). My special ice cream bowl (also served on a plate, but beautifully presented) was mango-passion fruit puree -> very tasty, with 1x mango and 1x lemon ice cream and whipped cream (that's what the menu said). It was served decorated with nuts, and then I was blamed for not listing all my allergies and intolerances before ordering, as someone with allergies. :( The waiter was visibly annoyed when I said I couldn't eat it like that and would like it completely new. Yes, of course, it's a shame about the waste of ingredients, but I specifically choose something safe for me, and then he says he should have known and gives me a lecture about how it's my fault and that in Italy you always have to tell the waiter about all your allergies beforehand. *In the end, my ice cream bowl was remade! Thank you for that, it tasted very good, but the way he blamed me was not appropriate. Correct. It's a shame, we expected more. One more positive thing. The waitress we paid to was super polite and nice. Thank you :)

19/07/2025: A true highlight in Kaltern! The Laubencafé impresses across the board: The service is first-class – friendly, attentive, and warm. The quality of the food and drinks is outstanding; you can immediately tell that the work here is done with love and care. And the ice cream is simply fantastic – creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We'd love to come back and highly recommend the café!
