KALTE LUST Gelateria Aarau

KALTE LUST Gelateria Aarau brings a refreshing wave of artisanal ice cream culture to the heart of the old town. Located at Zollrain 6, this gelateria is the newest outpost of the celebrated KALTE LUST brand, which has been redefining Swiss ice cream since 2015 with its bold philosophy: “Leck mich doch.” The Aarau location opens into a world where premium, natural ingredients and unconventional flavor combinations meet a fun, unapologetic attitude. Every scoop served here is a testament to the belief that ice cream should be an escape—a moment of pure, cool pleasure that lets you forget the everyday and simply enjoy life.

From the very first visit, customers notice the difference. The team behind KALTE LUST pours an obsessive passion into every detail. They start with milk from Jersey cows in Madiswil and Hofstatt, a breed known for producing extraordinarily rich, protein-packed milk that is also exceptionally well-tolerated. This milk forms the creamy, velvety base for a gelato that is dense, flavorful, and impossibly smooth. Combined with Swiss sugar, regional fruits from local farms, and a commitment to fair pricing that supports farmers, the result is a product that is as ethical as it is delicious.
