Anyone looking for a refreshing treat in Vienna has the chance to try this sugar-free and vegan gelato, in addition to the usual spots. The recipe was first tested in the founder’s home kitchen before production moved to its current location in 2023. Since no artificial thickeners are used, everything is made entirely by hand. The manufacturer uses 100% natural ingredients, resulting in a noticeably creamy texture.
A sweet treat for your own mom
The motivation behind the sugar-free varieties has an emotional background, as the founder’s mother has diabetes. That’s why the workshop produces its products entirely without added sugar or—when sweetening is needed— uses only stevia. There are now over 60 ice cream creations, including even high-protein options for athletes.
If you prefer classic flavors, strawberry or lemon-lime are just the thing. Those looking for exotic flavor experiences, on the other hand, can try mango sticky rice or the Asian ube bean, for example. Many of these creations are completely vegan, so there’s no shortage of lactose-free alternatives at Stanitzel.

From a Vienna townhouse to the supermarket
After demand skyrocketed in 2021, the year the company was founded, the next milestone followed in May 2024. Since then, you no longer have to make a special trip to the ice cream parlor, because the cups are available nationwide at Interspar and Spar Gourmet. This success shows that small family-run businesses can sometimes hold their own against anonymous industrial giants on the frozen food aisle. In any case, the flagship store in the Second District remains the go-to spot if you’re looking for freshly scooped gelato. The shop opens its doors to hungry ice cream lovers from Thursday through Sunday.
