This is one of the few places in DC that does truly amazing sorbet. There are other good spots in the city, but this one has a few big advantages: it’s closer to me than most of them, and they’re super generous with the free samples (maybe more than they should be).
At other places, I’ll try a flavor and think, “Yeah, it’s fine, maybe I’ll get it, maybe I won’t.” Here, every single sorbet I taste, I end up buying. Every time. They just do a great job with flavor and texture.
It’s 100% worth coming back to regularly. It’s also the kind of place I don’t always tell my wife I stopped by… but when she sees the receipt and realizes I didn’t bring her home a sorbet, she’s understandably annoyed. That’s how you know it’s good.
Good gelato! I really enjoyed the chocolate vegan flavor!
Great place and friendly staff. And yes excellent gelato
Tasty trendy little spot.
This place is absolutely amazing I love it so much. Please for the love of God come here. Screw Ben and Jerry’s me and all my homies hate Ben and Jerry’s this place is genuinely heaven on earth.
This place was AWESOMELY Amazing, the service was great and there are so many flavors to choose from, they have some REALLY unique flavors!! My new go-to Ice cream place!
This place just blew us away! Each flavor tastes just like described. Flavors are powerful and absolutely delicious. Direct quote from someone in the shop: “sounds of pleasure in every bite!” And they let you sample the flavors as much as you want. Our favorites were the vegan dark chocolate, green tea, banana Nutella, espresso, and mojito.
Absolutely loved the taste profiles from this place! I got a vanilla and hazelnut waffle cone and the hazelnut was so good! Tasted just like a ferrero rocher or Nutella.
This lemon gelato felt like summer in a spoon. The flavor was clean and vibrant, like biting into a perfectly ripe Sicilian lemon. Tart but not sour, with subtle floral notes that lingered on the palate. It struck an impressive balance between freshness and creaminess — a rare feat for citrus-based gelato 🍧
“You’ve officially ruined all other gelato for me…This was too good 😊
See u soon again .
Delicious Gelato and you can try before you buy!

Zoo location: used to be high-quality but now tastes very chemically :(
Dark chocolate flavor is so good!
honestly their vegan options might be better than their dairy ones
My daughter loves the employees at this spot and the gelato as well lol
