Pura Vida

Pura Vida, which translates as "pure joy of life", lives up to its name as soon as you enter the store on the corner of Steinberggasse/Obergasse. Bright and friendly, the gelateria also offers plenty of space outside. Everything here is homemade using seasonal and local ingredients. The varieties range from classic vegan sorbets such as mango or strawberry to delicious cream ice creams such as vanilla or pistachio. However, the current specialties such as "Brännti Mandle", "Ovi" or "Winterthurer Honig" are a particular highlight.

B51

A very special gelateria is located on the turntable of the former Sulzer site at the Technopark. In a historic train carriage from 1907 , not only delicious gelati are served here, but also the best coffee. The whole family is dedicated to the art of traditional Italian gelato production, which they learned in Tuscany. Out of conviction, they only use organically grown, purely plant-based ingredients.
