Jannys Eis Warnemünde

A seaside scoop in the heart of Warnemünde

Jannys Eis on Seestraße 8 sits in the compact grid of streets just inland from Warnemünde’s broad sandy beach. The shop fronts onto a pedestrian-friendly stretch edged with boutiques and cafés, so you step from the pavement straight into a bright, informal ice cream counter. In summer, the air is filled with the smell of fresh waffles and the distant cry of gulls from the harbour. The interior is simple and functional, with a clear focus on the chilled display. Fridges and boards showcase cones, cups and sundaes, but the real attraction is the ability to walk straight back out and enjoy your treat among the resort’s maritime scenery.

From German ice cream brand to local fixture

Jannys Eis is part of a nationwide franchise that has been crafting ice cream for decades, and this Warnemünde outlet brings that story to the Baltic coast. Rather than an old-fashioned parlour, the design leans toward a modern, streamlined counter-service concept built around quick refreshment for beachgoers. Its setting among souvenir shops, fashion stores and snack stands means it naturally blends into the resort’s commercial life. Many visitors pair a stop here with a stroll along the Alter Strom canal or the short walk to the lighthouse and pier, making it an easy addition to any day by the sea.

Flavours, sundaes and sweet little indulgences

Behind the glass you can usually expect a broad sweep of flavours, from familiar vanilla, chocolate and strawberry to seasonal varieties and fruit sorbets. Being part of a larger brand, Jannys often experiments with playful combinations and themed creations, alongside sugar cones, waffle cups and generous toppings. If you prefer to linger, sundaes with whipped cream, sauces and wafers turn a quick snack into a small dessert ritual. Milkshakes, iced coffees and soft drinks offer alternatives for anyone not in the mood for a scoop, making it a handy refuelling point for mixed groups.

Life between beach towels and harbour boats

What truly defines this branch is less the interior and more its surroundings. Step outside with your cone and you are moments from the buzzing waterfront, with excursion boats, fishing cutters and the wide beach fanning out along the Baltic. On warm days queues can form, adding to the sense of high-season energy on Seestraße. The shop’s position in the resort core means people-watching is almost guaranteed. Families with sandy feet, cyclists resting from a coastal ride and day-trippers from Rostock all drift past, turning a simple ice cream into a small window onto local holiday life.

Practical details for a relaxed visit

Jannys Eis typically opens from late morning into the evening, with slightly longer hours on weekends during the main season. There may be a few outdoor seats but space is limited, so many guests simply eat on the go. Expect moderate prices in line with a popular Baltic resort: a couple of scoops and a drink remain an accessible treat. The flat, paved surroundings and short distances between the beach, promenade and nearby shops make this a convenient stop for most visitors. Combine it with a leisurely promenade walk, a lighthouse visit or a harbour cruise and you have a classic Warnemünde day, punctuated by something sweet and cold in your hand.
