My baby girl and I truly enjoyed their desserts. I purchased two banana puddings and a kale/callaloo patty. The patty was amazing, filled with flavor! We are definitely returning for that deliciousness. The kind young woman at the front let baby girl try the birthday cake flavor and she wouldn’t let the spoon go the entire walk home?. After purchasing great reads from Sankofa bookstore, we ended with a full heart and stomach at Here’s The Scoop?

We ran into the owner on our way in and she was so sweet and welcoming that we were even more excited to try the place! The brownie was delicious but the ice cream was AMAZING. Definitely recommend the warm brownie sundae with the ice cream!

I hired Karin and her team to do my corporate holiday party. They were professional, prepared, flexible and did it all with a smile. And of course, their product was on point. So grateful for them and highly recommend Here’s the Scoop.

I went on a cookie excursion while in D.C. with my sister. Seven spots in 2 days! It was quite exciting and adventurous with surprising results. Here's the Scoop, which is actually an ice cream place, was our first stop. I love that this is a family black owned business serving the community and we chatted with the nephew to get a little bit of some of the history. The snickerdoodle cookie I had was trash, completely inedible, however the cookies are sourced from another company. It's challenging to rate this business accurately because I didn't have any ice cream. My sister had a scoop of the banana pudding ice cream and raved about it. I believe it was heavenly and one of the best scoops she has had. I hate I didn't try any of it, but it was too cold outside for me. That beckons me to return in the future for some delicious ice cream. They had a nice selection of flavors, some traditional and some unordinary!

A sweet little ice cream shop that we ended up going to because it was the closest one to the Ethiopian restaurant where we had dinner. It was a chilly and rainy night, and this was a bright beacon with a friendly gentleman working, but....there's nowhere to sit inside and outside wasn't available with the weather, so we kind of just had to hang out awkwardly by the display case to have our treats.One us got a cup with half campfire s'mores and half blue something-or-other. Really good! The s'mores was so graham forward and we loved the extra large chunks of chocolate that they used. The blue was the typical flavor that's become ubiquitous in ice cream shops, but we liked it. Another cup was half black cherry chocolate and half moose tracks. The black cherry was definitely the best flavor of the night--so rich and tart and jammy. Moose tracks were fine. We do have to note that the ice cream was REALLY hard when we received it and the plastic spoons were not up for the job--ours practically cracked, so maybe the temperature needs to be adjusted. Or get some sturdier spoons!Our only real complaint about this place is that our daughter ordered a birthday cake flavor on a cone and the guy gave her campfire s'mores instead; she was a sweetie and gladly accepted it and told us that she didn't want to waste food and was happy with her flavor. But still--the order should have been correct. Anyway, we liked Here's the Scoop, and it seems like they're doing good community work too. 3.5 stars, rounding up.

This is such a cute Ice cream shop. They also sell AMAZING meat pies or empanadas. They have a good variety of different ice creams that all taste really good. The owner was such a sweetheart! If your ever in the DC area please give them a try. It's so worth it !

Oh my goodness! Not only do they have delicious vegan ice cream and regular ice cream, that cake box is amazing!! That Red Velvet cake is absolutely delicious! My husband doesn’t care for Red Velvet cake but I put a fork full in his mouth and he changed his mind about This one! Whew! I really didn’t want to share it. ???????

- Sweet Potato Cake - Vegan Options - Rum Raisins - should I say more? Here's the scoop - they don't make anything there but they are a collaboration of several minority owned dessert businesses in the area, many of which black businesses.The staff is friendly, they like to see you smile and the dessert is awesome. I went with the Caribbean run raisin, and they delivered! They even have vegan dessert and ice-cream options. Tips1) Cake - call ahead or get there early, they do sell out!2) Try the fish fudge; the name does not reflect the taste; the only thing fishy is how good it is 3) They are the basement unit; don't miss them4) They have apple IZZY, but they sell out

I was in the area running errands and had a craving for something sweet. I found this little shop on Yelp and decided to check it out. I was able to get parking right across the street even though it's on busy Georgia Avenue. The shop itself is small, but I love that it has patio tables outside if you want to sit and enjoy your ice cream.The staff was great and they let me sample a few flavors before I made a decision. I really loved their honey graham flavor - so good. I ended up picking my tried and true - mint chocolate chip and cookies n' cream. Because I'm greedy, I also got extra oreos sprinkled on top. So good! The ice cream was very creamy and the dark chocolate in the mint chocolate chip was surprisingly good (and big chunks). I didn't love the food coloring in it because I usually try to avoid that, but it was good so I got over it lol. Overall, a really nice shop with delicious ice cream. I'll try a brownie with ice cream next time.
