Coolhaus is an American ice cream company known for its innovative and architecturally inspired ice cream flavors and ice cream sandwiches. The company was founded in 2009 by Natasha Case and Freya Estreller. Coolhaus has gained popularity for its unique approach to ice cream, combining culinary creativity with architectural concepts.

History[edit | edit source]

Coolhaus was founded in 2009 by Natasha Case and Freya Estreller. The idea for Coolhaus originated when Case, an architect, began making ice cream sandwiches inspired by famous architectural designs. The name "Coolhaus" is a play on words, combining "cool" (as in ice cream) and "haus," a reference to the Bauhaus architectural movement.

The company started with a single food truck at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and quickly gained a following. Coolhaus has since expanded to multiple food trucks, scoop shops, and a line of pre-packaged ice cream products available in grocery stores across the United States.

Products[edit | edit source]

Coolhaus is known for its wide variety of ice cream flavors and ice cream sandwiches. Some of their popular flavors include:

  • Dirty Mint Chip - A mint ice cream with a hint of brown sugar and chocolate chips.
  • Balsamic Fig and Mascarpone - A unique combination of balsamic vinegar, fig, and mascarpone cheese.
  • Milkshake and Fries - A sweet and salty blend of vanilla ice cream with potato chip and French fry inclusions.

In addition to traditional dairy ice cream, Coolhaus also offers a range of vegan and gluten-free options to cater to different dietary preferences.

Architectural Inspiration[edit | edit source]

Coolhaus draws inspiration from various architectural styles and famous architects. Each ice cream flavor and sandwich is designed to reflect a particular architectural concept or figure. For example, the "Frank Berry" ice cream sandwich is named after the architect Frank Gehry and features strawberry ice cream between two sugar cookies.
