Truly delicious! Visited Alexandria and noticed there are lots of ice cream shops to get a scoop you could get at home, but we wanted something special. Goodies is it! We tried the brownie sandwich sundae, the apple donut sandwich with homemade caramel sauce and the Oreo sundae. All were fantastic and my family loved them! Very nice outdoor seating area in a great location. Brandon (the owner) was really helpful and friendly. There was a bit of a line on a sunny Sunday afternoon, but it moved quickly and was so worth the wait. FYI, it was cash only. We'll be back for sure!

It's hard to miss Goodies even it's a block off King St. The blue building is eye-catching, and the beautiful garden beds were full of colorful tulips. Cash only, so make sure to hit an ATM, but boy it was worth it (I would have gone twice if I had time). The owner was offering samples of their delicious frozen custard to passersby. I ordered a Juke Box sundae, and I was so pleased. Despite the sugary ingredient list, it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet, in part due to the smooth, rich, creamy custard buried beneath toppings and fudge sauce. The owner was so warm and friendly, and a daper dressed to boot! The perfect treat for a warm sunny day, or any day really!

The man running this place stopped my girlfriend and I for a sample. It was a delicious, maybe the smoothest custard we’ve ever had, perfectly sweet. They were also very kind. We are very eager to return.

Totally overpriced. 8oz ice cream for $8. Also no prices on their board, had to ask…

The location, custard and service was all great. It's a bit pricey but I would probably go back to try something different.

I’ve had nothing short of amazing and delicious experiences at Goodies. My favorite treat is the Boogie Woogie or usually the specials like homemade rum cake! If you see it on IG stories, RUN to Goodies!! You won’t be disappointed. I’ve also tried the Nutter Butter sundae, many different donutwiches, banana pudding, peach cobbler and the Juke Box. All great choices.The kindest humans operate this spot and I can’t say enough about them too. Uncle takes his time interacting with each person who comes through and preparing their orders. Each time I visit I feel like more than a costumer, I feel like family. A moment I was particularly touched by was observing him hold space for a child paying on their own and listening as they excitedly shared their weekend. My heart melted. Children deserve to be seen as whole people. Brandon will occasionally sell his homemade caramel and dinners (recently was jerk chicken, mac n cheese, green beans and cornbread) and has looked out and saved me a jar or a plate when I’ve reached out. Everything is so, SO good!! It’s spectacular!The patio is the most gorgeous place to sit and enjoy the treats. This place can get busy and while I wait, I love listening to the music played on the speaker, when it’s on. They play all the classics! On a few Sundays I’ve gone after church, it was Gospel so I got round two of worship! Haha! I’ve been during slower moments and once, Uncle had come out and gardened and talked about his process. They’ll tend to it through the seasons. To name a few, you may see tulips in the spring and giant elephant ears and marigolds in the fall. Just a beautiful space! When you visit Goodies you truly feel the labor of love and bright spirit each time you visit. It’s like a frozen custard and treats community ministry.
CASH ONLY - no ATM option. Menu looked amazing. No concerns with prices. And I'm okay with Cash Only decision as long as an ATM is provided or nearby. This would at least give the option for patrons to choose to pay ATM fees...the business could also collect additional revenue from the ATM. Patrons don't check payment options before driving to an establishment. We check address and hours to make sure it's open. I hope that your other payment options their past payment options come back online soon.

We intentionally visited black owned businesses in February and this was first stop! they only accept cash! The custard was amazing. The prices are kinda up there buts in old town. It's only outdoor seating. Everything was good it definitely felt nostalgic remembering ice cream as a kid. I love how it is decorated.

We were in Old Town Alexandria and decided to come here after lunch. They had some really unique ice desserts which were all delicious. Note that they only take cash. Otherwise, the ice cream here is excellent, and it's worth coming here when you're in the area.

Custardwich is heavenly. Atmosphere is fantastic. Owner is so nice. But why are you guys not open these days? I owe you $2.
