Overview
- A coupons.de comparison reports a 2026 national average of €1.92 per scoop, up from €1.81 in 2024.
- Frankfurt averages about €2.10 per scoop in that sample, placing the city above the national mean.
- Location drives costs, with tourist spots such as Sylt near €2.80 per scoop and small towns like Lübbenau around €1.50.
- BILD’s field check found prices ranging from €0.50 at a long-running Bochum stand to €2.50 in big-city parlors, with many shops unchanged from 2025.
- Shop owners cite higher energy, rent, ingredients and wages as price drivers, and both reports stress small, non-representative samples with as few as four parlors per city.
