Seit 2001 stehen in Ottensen die Fans guter Gelato-Kunst Schlange für das köstliche Eis von Eisliebe. Kaum kommt die Sonne raus, heißt es hier vor allem: Geduld haben, aber das Anstehen lohnt sich!. Das Eis wird bei Eisliebe mit sehr viel (ha!) Liebe hergestellt und – zur Freude aller – an Zutaten wie riesigen Keksstücken oder cremiger Karamellsoße nicht gespart.
