Best ice creams in Berlin?

The Italian spots are definitely strong here. I'd add Hokey Pokey on Oranienstraße, they do a really interesting rotation like fig and goat cheese or basil and strawberry. Portions are generous for the price, around 2.50 for a solid scoop. Also worth the trip to Eis Reiter in Wedding, their Stracciatella has actual chocolate shards mixed in, not just chocolate syrup.

if you're near kreuzberg, go to gratitud on oberbaumstraße. they do vegan stuff that doesn't taste like it's missing anything, the salted caramel is my go-to

honestly die eiswerkstatt in prenzlauer berg is still top tier, their flavors change all the time and the dark chocolate is insane. also if you're near neukölln, try eisblume on weserstraße, they do a killer pistachio that tastes like actual pistachios not just green sugar

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
