For those who prefer something warm with their ice cream, their waffle menus—featuring both sweet and savoury toppings—are a very popular choice.

Yes, a large part of the charm of visiting here is the wonderful outdoor environment. The café has generous outdoor seating where you can sit right in the heart of the harbour's activities. It is a perfect place to rest your legs after a walk through Hjo City Park or along the cobblestone streets, while looking out over the horizon of Lake Vättern.
Three tips for your visit
- Choose an ice cream composition: Dare to try one of the set menus where flavours and toppings are carefully selected for a complete taste experience.
- Enjoy the harbour atmosphere: Take a seat on the outdoor terrace and soak up the atmosphere in one of Sweden's three unique wooden towns.
- Combine with a walk: Take the opportunity to explore the beautiful surroundings of Hjo harbour and the nearby city park before or after your treat.
Practical Information
Moster Elins is primarily a summer business, open during the warm months of the year. Since the café is centrally located in Hjo harbour, it is easy to reach on foot from the town centre. Parking is available near the harbour area, but it can be popular on sunny peak summer days, so arriving early is recommended. This is an ideal destination for a day trip when staying at Valle Camping in Axvall, as the journey through the beautiful Skaraborg landscape is an experience in itself.
