My Snickers Sundae was good and the gentleman putting it together took extreme care to make sure it was right.

Glad I found this place! I was hungry and wanted something I can grab and go. Capital City Sweetz had many great options for lunch. After reading the menu I order a shrimp salad in a taco shell and cake pops, chocolate covered Oreos and pretzel sticks. The sweets were for Valentines Day. Leon was awesome, friendly and professional. Definitely will be back soon.

Its a black owned business ?? The owner was very respectable and knowledgeable about the community and the store. As well as the products he sell. I order a few things today for my students and coworkers. I must say everything we order was outstanding??❣ I will be back again❣

While out running errands, I stopped by Capital City Creamery to get some ice cream. I couldn't resist. I mean who doesn't love ice cream?! I also loved that I was supporting a black owned/small business especially considering we are in a global pandemic. Mr. Leon, the owner, was very welcoming and kind. He let me (indecisive Kish) sample some of the flavors and let me tell you, they're all super delicious! I'm usually a cookies and cream gal but I think I have a new favorite flavor. The oatmeal cookie craving flavor is EVERYTHING! I just can't explain it but just know that it's GOODT (yes, with a t). The ice cream is soft and fresh. I ended up getting three scoops (banana cookie and cream, cookies and cream and oatmeal cookie craving). Don't judge me. I also ordered a half smoke. That too was pretty darn good. There are a lot of good options on the menu and the prices very reasonable. I learned more about Mr. Leon and the business. I could sense the passion and joy from him as spoke about it. He also saw that I was carrying around a lot of books and gave me a bag to help out. That was such a kind gesture. I definitely recommend this ice creamery!

This place is great! The ice cream is fantastic, the food is good, the environment is nice and the service is great and respectful! The prices are really good too! It's a great black owned business in an underserved community that give the neighborhood a great lift! The children love the ice cream!! Support this place people!!!
Wonderful experience every time... a lot of my favorites I forgot about. All the Classics I love, And even some new ones I never heard of.

Capital City Creamery is more than an ice cream shop. It's a start-up with a mission. After driving to Eastern Market on Capitol Hill for ice cream, the owners wanted an ice cream shop East of the River in their native Congress Heights. They found a shop at the corner of MLK Ave SE and Parkland Place SE and the rest is history.The shop is managed by the nephew of the owners, Leon. He's the kindest person and a joy to chat with. He's passionate about the business his family built and wants it to spread joy in the community. It has and here's why:1) Ice cream: Their ice cream is from Hershey's and they have a wide variety of flavors from your standard vanilla to more unique flavors like apple pie. Usually, I'm a chocolate chip cookie dough guy, by Leon introduced me to my new favorite flavor- Oatmeal Cookie Craving (it has caramel sauce, chocolate flakes, and oatmeal cookie crumbles in brown sugar cinnamon ice cream). The scoops are generous and they offer four different cone types (I recommend the waffle cone). The prices are reasonable.2) Food: Beyond food, they have other food options. My favorite is their deep fat fried Oreos. Leon is always switching up the Oreo flavors.3) Space: It's a small ice cream shop so most people get their ice cream to go, but there is a space by a large window where you can sit. 4) Story: When you walk in, by the ATM, read their story from a magazine clipping. It's inspiring.Capital City Creamery is a must-visit when in Congress Heights!
