Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I stopped in at Koun ice cream shop today and were nicely greeted by the owner, Szalai. She explained the various flavours and let us try a few samples before ordering a double scoop. While we were seated, she learned we were from Canada and that it was our 35th anniversary. She surprised us by bringing an affogato to try. It was a very nice gesture on her part and made our day! The ice cream was delicious and the the personal touch from Szalai was very much appreciated. Definitely worth a visit!

Yes it's rather expensive than the other ice cream parlours in Bratislava but I can recommend it anytime. The ice cream balls are very huge and the different tastes are very unique. We really loved it on a very sunny day in Bratislava. :)

The service was amazing, the girl was very kind and guided us through their coffee and gelato selection. Coffee and gelato were 5*. Every product is very delicious here. They even have plan milk for coffee. Also had sugarfree & sorbet selection of gelatos.

The price went up considerably and this is logical. But the portions are not even half compared to what they used to be. Initially I thought this depends on who serves you, but after several recent visits It seems this is intentional. The ice cream is good, but there are several other places now where you get at least the same quality for less…

The most delicious ice cream, I have tasted. Returned the next day to enjoy the artisanal ice cream! Loved the Hazelnut flavor and the decor and the courteous and helpful staff at the counter.

We came to know this place upon the recommendation of our tour guide. I had 2 scopes of nougat and later on another scope of walnut. My daughter had a scope. The staffs were very friendly, very accommodating, and very helpful. The ice cream was very very smooth and velvety and does not melt easily in your mouth. I had been to many places in Europe and believe me.... when you talk of ice cream .... this is the place to go.

A must have in Bratislava. Do not miss it! Delicious ice cream. Service is special and thus takes a bit longer. Be patient, it’s worth it.

Unluckily it’s rather expensive, with no card payment option - but the ice cream itself is probably the best in Slovakia, really. I lived the flavours like sesame, strange combinations; & the vegan options are just as tasty!

We were told by some friends who lived in the area that this was a must-try and they were so right. I loved the walnut and blackberry flavors together (2 of about 6 vegan options!). And my husband loved his classic sweet cream and chocolate decision from the normal dairy side. It was obvious this place uses high-quality ingredients and puts a ton of love into their treats. Most vegan ice cream is too sweet or lacks the right texture, but they perfected both. It was so good, we went back for seconds. Ha! And the staff was very welcoming and informative. Loved everything about this place!

The ice cream is the best in town, by far and large and comes close to the real thing that you can find in Italy. What is disappointing is the ultra slow service, partly due to the ridiculous "token system", and the look of carelessness of the entire staff. This leads to long and painfully slow queues that could easily be avoided with a better job organisation and a more trained staff.

If you are looking for delicious ice cream (for normal price), amazingly kind employees and cute design of a "store", then Koun is the spot to go 🔝

Delicious - you must go! I had raspberry & mint with nougat and it was so fresh. My partner had nougat with caramel/whisky/coffee and it’s his new favourite flavour.

This is place where I have eaten best ice cream in my life. Brilliant flavours of high quality ice cream. Even the cones were amazing. Price is little higher but worth every cent.
