Who We Are
Das Ice Cream café is the first ice cream parlor in Helen, Georgia to serve adult alcohol-infused ice cream and offer Dairy-free and sugar-free flavors.
“Alpine Helen celebrates life with culture, food, and desserts, we wanted to continue those traditions by putting a bit of fun back into your life by creating something special,” said ice cream shop owner D. Whittington. “In addition to delicious homemade, freshly churned on-site ice cream that the kids will love, adults can enjoy non-traditional creations with the best brands of alcohol and the freshest, richest and creamiest ingredients.”
Das Ice Cream Café offers many flavors of premium, traditional ice cream, like: Old Tyme Vanilla and Chocolate, Oreo, Snickers, Key Lime, Salted Caramel, Lebkucheneis, and Vanilla Caramel Praline.
Don’t fret! If you find that you need dairy-free or sugar-free flavors, there are a variety of options that we offer.
If you are 21+ years old, we offer some flavors that have a bit of a kick to them. Our alcohol-infused flavors include Bananas Foster, Honey Bourbon Vanilla, Bourbon Caramel Pecan, Black Forest, Helen Mud Slide, and Rudesheimer – all are delicious and customer favorites.
Just to make your experience with us even more yummy, Das Ice Cream Café offers sundaes and an assortment of homemade milkshakes and ice cream floats, including Eiskaffee, a special German coffee float. Spaghettieis is a favorite with visitors who come to try this delicious dessert!

Why Choose Us
“This is the best ice cream in Helen! We absolutely loved it. They have a good mix of traditional and “adult” flavors. (Bring your ID because they do check ’em.) The folks here are super friendly.
I got Naughty Otter (mocha and Bailey’s) and she got Bananas Foster. Fresh ingredients and a great cozy spot to escape the heat for a minute. Go here; your taste buds will love you for it and your waistline will forgive you later.”

“Wow! If I could would give them 10 starts review. So creamy and delicious we tried Bourbon Caramel pecan- (my favorite)
Other friends were delighted with Black Forest flavor and Nutella swirl. The owners are so friendly, the location is kind of hidden but with patience and following the signs you will find it. Will come back!”
John Doe⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
