Ice Cream Shops near Aspen Hill

“I needed to order a cake for a birthday and ordered less than 24 hours before I needed to pick up the cake. I called and spoke to Mohammad. He was super helpful and told me he could have the cake ready when needed. He walked me through the steps I needed to take to order the cake online and still have it ready when I needed it. I ordered the pink floral stripe cake and it was perfect; pretty and delicious! Mohammad even texted me afterwards to make sure I was satisfied! Customer service was top notch!“

“Sarah's ice cream caused confusion to my all time favorite flavor. Rose Pistachios, Earl Grey Speculoos, Hazelnut Biscoff, and Bluberry Swirl are some of evolving favorites. Cannot wait to try new monthly flavors. It's true joy to have local and the best ice cream store near by!“

“We had a half vegetarian half tibs pizza.The crust is soft and similar to keeta.Toppings are high quality meat and veggies and come heavily loaded, you will most likely need utensils.They have green salsa and hot honey too.One pizza was 16 inches and was more than enough for 3 people.Just as good if not better than having a traditional Ethiopian meal.Limited indoor seating, lots of outdoor.Vegetarian options: Pizza“

“This place was amazing! I was overstimulated with all the selection they had.(just means I’m coming back.) they have so many choices my daughter got a Nutella custard and the custard is so delicious and creamy. It’s midnight and I’m still thinking about my amazing experience.“

“Great ice cream with tons of flavors, one flavor for $5, two for $6!Like most places, they offered free samples and I really appreciated the clipboard wall to clearly display all the flavors they had available. There were 3 different freezers, and so many options for cones, shakes, toppings, and even pints to take home ??I really enjoyed the matcha cheesecake and the orange chocolate chip flavors, as well as red velvet cake that had chunks of cake in their ice cream, that I tried but there were so many to choose from that I couldn’t try so I’d be happy to check it out again!Dietary restrictions: Ice cream flavors with nuts are clearly distinguished“

“Nice little shop with many flavor options. Prices seem to be a bit higher here than the chains. Sampled one of the more common flavors, one of the chocolate ones, don't remember exactly which, and found it to be good but probably not worth paying the higher price for. However, there were so many unique flavors that you wouldn't be able to easily find elsewhere that I believe is worth paying a bit more for if it is good. We ended up getting the ube honeycomb which was so unique and delicious. There were many other flavors we were intrigued by so we will definitely be back to try more in the future if nearby.“

“My husband and I love this place & always recommend to our friends who haven’t been yet. From the gelato, to drip coffee, gluten free brownies and breakfast sandwiches and burritos, everything is SUPERB! Yesterday we ordered the breakfast burrito(comes in spinach wrap), waffles & breakfast tacos with bacon added. As usual, everything was fresh, quick & filling! Kevin up front is always great to chat with & super helpful. The other young ladies are also friendly, hardworking & keep the place so neat & tidy. Stop by!!“

“Love Flavor Garden! Tried for the first time last night and will def be coming back. OK, the setting is pretty basic and no one looks go in that lighting but, man, the food is fantastic!!! I had the Shrimp Po Boy and, as a frequent traveler to NOLA, prepared to be disappointed. It was AMAZING - 4 HUGE shrimp, beautifully seasoned and cooked, the perfect soft roll, fully dressed, including pickles, just like at Parkway Bakery and Tavern at the source. My dining companions had the Chicken Caesar wrap (tasty but a little too heavily dressed - easily remedied next time) and the Salmon BLT, declared excellent. The fries are delicious and so well seasoned that ketchup would be an insult. Finally, my son declared the onion rings ‘the best I’ve ever had’ and declined to share them. Will be trying those next time. Staff was super - friendly and knowledgeable, attentive in the best laid back way possible - a true gem!!!“

“Loved my second visit here with my hubby this time. I ordered the same thing again with different toppings-- the Strawberry Lady consisting of strawberry ice cream, whipped cream, marshmallows, and fresh strawberries. My husband got the Reese's Blast that had lots of chocolate and peanut flavors to it. Both items weren't overly sweet which I really appreciated. The order can be placed by using the touchscreen or by letting the cashier know. The price can be a bit extra except it's worth it. Our two ice cream orders came out shy of $16 but it comes with at least 3 free toppings of our choosing. The only gripe I have is parking. The lot in front of the store is perpetually full. It's best to park across the street if able.“

“Bro the cookies are actually bomb, the one with the pink frosting on top is my fav fr, they are a little too sweet but like WHO CARESS BOII??!! yall gotta come to dis jawn nd got yo selves a freaking cookie boi. DONT MISS DF OUT!!!Parking: you can park????Kid-friendliness: i came here as a kid, came out as a EVEN BETTER KID GETTING THISE COOKIES FR HYPED ME DF UP!!Wheelchair accessibility: there aren’t steps so you won’t have to struggle to get your broke fren up in dat jawn“

“The lychee flavor was one of the best ice cream flavors I've had. I was surprised how good it was. The seasonal peach flavor was just okay. I believe the prices are a bit higher here, but happy to pay a bit more for things you can't get elsewhere.“

“I heard about Levain and was in the Bethesda area, so I had to make a stop. As soon as you walk in, you’re hit was amazing smells of baked goods and fresh coffee. The options are simple and straightforward. The staff was all business; get you in and get you out - order and move out of the way.I tried four different cookies. Were they worth the hype? Yes! Absolutely! Maybe some of the best cookies I’ve ever had. At $5 a piece, they’re expensive but worth the cost. I will definitely visit again when in town and look forward to trying other options and flavors. Thanks.“

“Stop complaining about making jersey Shore mocha or take it off the menu“ Hi there, Keith! I am so sorry to see your post about the Jersey Shore Mocha! Can you please let me know what time of day it was? It is a little more challenging to make them in Olney, due to having to use a "manual press" espresso maker, unlike the espresso machine we have in Rockville. We have also had some scheduling challenges, but, again, we should not complain about it to our customers! If you are ever in Rockville, ask for me, Boodie, and I will make you for free! (PS...if I am not here, tell them to reach out to me) I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and again, any feedback on time of day, so I can follow up with the staff!”Hey, Boodie. This has been happening for over a year, so, not quite sure I can pinpoint a specific time and place, but we really only go at night on the weekends. It happens literally every time we order it. Last time, one of the young employees just laughed and said “we’re not making shakes”. So, yeah. A follow up with the staff is probably your best course of action.“

“made the mistake of stopping by at 4pm, right as the school crowd was getting busy so there were abt 15 people in this tiny shop! Nevertheless, the staff was so nice and efficient! I got the pistachio ice cream with rainbow sprinkles and it was so yummy! Love that the sprinkles are complimentary!“

“Amazing service the lady that made our ice cream was extremely sweet and helpful. The owner also came to our table to talk and was very nice as well and let us try the new flavors they had. The hot fudge sunday and the carmel apple waffle were both amazing!“

“Absolutely love this place! The ambience is very peaceful and the service was amazing. You can try multiple samples and even get two flavors in a small. The options are really diverse and they even offer sorbet! Definitely worth trying if you're in the area.“

“I would rather come here than Jenni’s for something frozen and sweet. It’s self serve so things usually move pretty fast. And it’s got the regular frozen yogurt which is my favorite. Toppings bar isn’t overly expansive either which is appreciated.“

“Cute little shop will the best booba in Rockville Derwood area. Love the shop and set up. Amazing ambiance. During the summer you can make your own ice cream, literally. I highly recommend it. You will love the variety of tastes, tropical mixed with asian flavors.“

“Every trip to Gaithersburg must include a visit to TFR in Laytonsville! Found a unique gift I have never seen in another shop and will be making a friend smile. TFR owner was so warm and welcoming! Her smile radiates her passion for creating a space filled with acceptance, creativity, laughter, and warmth…just like a family room. Can’t wait for my next visit!“

“Great, locally made ice cream. They've got a wide selection of flavors, including some less common options like honey lavender. The service was amazing, and the gentleman who helped us was very patient with our kids. They've also got books and board games available in the seating area.Kid-friendliness: Very patient service, let the kids sample a couple flavors when they couldn't decide.“

“If you're a fan of matcha, this place is a must-visit. Personally, I always opt for their ice cream, and it never fails to impress. While more topping options would be a bonus, the overall experience is great. The vibe of the place adds to the enjoyment. Five stars for consistently delightful matcha treats and a wonderful atmosphere!“

“Delicious authentic gelato. This little corner place on the edge of a parking lot across from a beautiful church is the perfect stop on a hot summer day. I've eaten gelato all over the world and this place compares to the best! Highly highly recommend.“

“This place was so cute! They had red and white stripes as their decor, and also a pretty good outdoor place. The workers were kind, and they brought our order pretty quickly. I got my go-to Rita's order, blue raspberry and root beer Italian ice with gummy bears. It brought out those exact flavors, and I loved it. My friend got the pear ice cream, which they said "I like it" and they said that "they were surprised the small size is still a lot." I guess the small size is a bit large, but other than that, this place is very awesome!“

“Definitely try the Hazelnut Crackle ice cream – it's a winner. The folks working there are pretty friendly. Heads up though, even though pour over coffee is listed on the menu, they said they don't actually serve it. Ended up with a Decaf Americano instead, and honestly, it was pretty terrible.“

“The place is different from when it first opened. The chicken is as good as ever. It's still more of a take out place than an eat-in, but there are picnic tables available if you want to eat there (we did). The service was good and the food was worth the trek over.“

“I love Ben and Jerry's and am so happy they have vegan options at their scoop shop.This location has a small seating area. About 15 people could eat indoors. When the weather is nice there is plenty of outdoor seating.The employees were very kind and helpful. I came with friends and they had so much patience handing out samples and answering out questions about the vegan flavors and which cones were vegan friendly. I got the nondairy Whirled Piece and the nondairy chocolate chip cookie dough on a sugar cone. The ice creams were great! You would never know it was vegan: the cone tasted a bit stale. Next time I visit this location I will either get a cake cone or just a cup so I do not have the disappointing taste in my mouth of an old sugar cone.“

“This was my first time trying this flavor and i would say it was really good. Service was great, staff was nice. If was a cute little ice cream joint. I always loved the inside of Jeni's. Back to the ice cream: I don't remember the full name but it was rainbow yogurt. The texture wasn't like your normal ice cream but it was more on the yogurt side with tons of flavor. The waffle wasn't the greatest, not sure why. Maybe it was an off night or something. Overall, jeni's ice cream is always on point! Thanks!“

“Very good food with a good staff and nice atmosphere. I love the San Remo sandwich. The only problems are the parking, which is unfortunately out of the restaurant's control, and that they can't accommodate some common dietary restrictions in their smoothies. Offering something like almond or oat milk as a substitute for the yogurt would be a good fix for this.Dietary restrictions: They are unable to accommodate dairy allergies in their smoothies at this time.“

“We hired Gemma Gelato to cater dessert at our engagement party. Super cool Italian pozzetti gelato cart. We got to select 4 flavors of their all natural gelato for the event. We enjoyed working with Gemma team and they did a wonderful job. We also hired them for our wedding reception in February 2024. A big hit with everyone!“

“Maryland Dairy has been serving ice cream on the University of Maryland for 100 years. Formerly located in the Turner Building, its name has been simplified, and it is now conveniently and logically located in the food court of the Stamp Student Union. We were planning to have lunch after leaving campus, but we had to have ice cream first! The colors and names of the choices were attractive. The purple was actually blueberry with vanilla cookie pieces and cream cheese icing swirl. It was named after W.S. Arbuckle, a former university professor and author of a definitive book on ice cream. We also tried Terpresso, a double strength coffee ice cream with crushed Oreos and a caramel swirl named after the Terps or Terrapins sports teams. The Sapienza, which we were told is the customer favorite, was a creamy, rich vanilla bean ice cream with chocolate chips and chunks of chocolate fudge brownie, a smooth chocolate swirl, and creme de cacao. In recognition of Jim Henson, a prominent alumnus, and his Muppets the green mint ice cream with chocolate chips was named Kermit’s Kiss. I only regret not bringing an insulated bag so I could take home some pints from the freezer.“

“Well stocked, good rotation on seasonal drinks. Very well priced for the area. Very convenient if you live in the building, as the mini mart is stocked with a variety of goods you might need in a pinch. Bar has a decent selection on draft for a bar this size and has a good atmosphere, especially on the weekends. Great place to watch a Brazillian soccer game.“

“I found this gem by word of mouth. And let me start by saying I am glad someone told me about it. I have been here on multiple occasions. My favorite menu item is the mangonada. The mango is always fresh and ripe not hard like other places that put green mango sometimes. The chamoy and tajin are perfect. The mango ice cream taste like pure mangoes. They have some Mexican candies also which is nice. I've had some other ice creams flavors but I auailly go for the mangonadas.“

“Right on time! With the current heat wave beating us up. My cubs and I took shelter under the wide canopy of the PG Plaza Mall. Just outside of the Macy's to the right, stands the small and simple cooling spot, that we chose. They provide a few choices of different flavored smoothies and about 16 ice cream flavor. The scoop bearers swiftly heard our hot cries and dove into the frozen caverns, retrieving cookies-n-cream and vanilla flavored joy for us. I paid their good price and the cubs and I journeyed back into the heat. I like places that I don't have to break my brain over, trying to decipher their menu. Good stuff!“

“I can't give 5 stars to a place that charges $10 for a Gelato, but I guess EVERY business gouges in Bethesda. Nonetheless, once you go to the bank and get a HELOC to pay for your Gelato, it it some of the best Gelato I've had, and I've been to Italy. Rich, creamy, flavorful, fresh, and Hugh quality are some adjectives to describe the Gelato. Definitely recommend.“

“Pros:*Ordered small scoop of Dairy-Free Mint Chocochunk. Ice cream is made w/coconut milk + tasted fresh/creamy. *Large assortment of flavors (30+), including rotating seasonal options.*Renovated, clean store w/ indoor seating.Cons:*Limited Dairy-Free Options (Mint Chocochunk, Sorbets, Smoothies)*It's a basic ice cream shop - no real 'wow' factor in terms of product, preparation, or presentation.*Product melts quickly - it would be nice if the cups had better insulation for to-go orders. Overall:Popular ice cream chain w/ clean store, friendly service, + reliable product. Employee told me the store has been in business at this location for 50+ yrs. If you're just looking for a simple, affordable cup/cone of ice cream, I would recommend going to this Baskin over others in the area.“

“We had been disappointed when this BR had to leave Cabin John Village. We had been told it would reopen at Seven Locks, but when it didn't happen for a while, we feared it might never do so.So we're very delighted to find it here, still serving great ice cream. Understand, not every BR is the same. The ones that are half Dunkins just aren't nearly as good. This is the full-store BR, the type that is increasingly hard to find. The kind with the full array of BR flavors and tons of ways of serving. I find that the ice cream at this kind of BR just always tastes fresher and better than at the half-Dunkin ones.My opinion is that BR ice cream (at least at this type of store) compares favorably with its premium ice cream competitors, while offering lower prices. Pralines and Cream is still my favorite! But there are so many terrific BR flavors: baseball nut, jamoca almond fudge, chocolate peanut butter, etc. Still great after all these years.“

“IF INDEED....You are experiencing a "cookie-crave", then 'dis' is a great place to address such a "Need"!* But phair-warning, you'll need your gold-card if your more serious than the average "cookie-Monster"! ; )“

“I personally don't know anyone who dislikes Rita's. Back in my college days I remember how my friends and I would run over from our dorms to get the Spring special. Not sure if they do that now, but on occasion I do still get an urge for a (small) gelati -- which is both custard and Italian Ice layered in one cup. I haven't disliked any, but I usually gravitate to the Mint Choco Chip cream ice and ANY of the custards. Just depends on what's available.One thing I also like is that in addition to the standard nutrition facts charts, they share a chart that lists all the flavors and which ones do and do not contain dyes and gluten. That's... really awesome. The parking lot for this location is really tight... and there's a bench or two, but ultimately not too much space to hang. Prepare to grab and go... and escape that parking lot haha!“

“Great neighborhood cafe with amazing value sandwiches. My corned beef on rye was stacked high with lean corned beef, and was delicious. My friend's steak and cheese, on a proper roll that could stand up to the filling, was near Philadelphia quality.“

“They should see more cashiers only at the cashier's checkout, there is a lot of waiting in line, the ones they dispatch are some cashiers, they should be separate but the girls who dispense the cashiers don't comply, it's double work“

“Great place and super great service, the line is always long but everything there is fresh and made to order. It's inside the food court and it's a must go to for something freshing to drink and the ice cream is awesome and the service personal are nice and helpful“

“"The best time for ice cream is always." Sprinkles is a woman owned, small business in Potomac Shopping center. I recently ordered a birthday cake for my son in law, who is a baseball fan. The cake was made from chocolate and marshmallow ice cream and roadrunner Raspberry with peanut butter cups and fudge ribbon running through it. The ice cream was delicious. We devoured the cake! The people who work there are spectacular! We have serious allergy- illness in our family and the cake was made with gluten free ice cream. The design was excellent. My son in law loved it. The people who worked there made ordering a breeze. Thanks Katlyn for going the extra mile to find out which flavors were gluten free and if you could honor our requests. You made life so much easier! It was really appreciated. I used to teach at Potomac Elementary around the corner and we always brought our students by for a treat. The store has really expanded to include specialty gifts and treats. It looks beautiful. So, great service, delicious ice cream, cute cakes, and gifts...please, support this local business. Ice cream is cheaper than therapy, so enjoy!“

“Cute little place that serves hot food, salads, and ice cream. I stopped by on a whim to try their strawberry and vanilla ice cream and loved them! I picked up a double scoop of each to bring home and still have a little left to enjoy later. It's really good, in my opinion: not too sweet for my tastes. I'd go again for more.The interior is nicely set up: tables for dining in, some outside, cookies (which I'd love to try another time) at the counter, a kiosk by the wall... easy layout that feels inviting.Not much else to say about Jetties, as I really only came in for a few moments and specifically wanted to try the ice cream, which I can now recommend. Give this place a try!5/5 stars (based off ice cream).Parking: Depending on the time/day, there is either free or paid street parking along Connecticut Ave, where Jetties is located. Check the signs and meters.“

“Great desserts that you can have plain, coated with toppings or have a topping drizzled on itOn the hot weekend day we visited. It was Really crowded. Tons of flavors, and lots of topping choices. Service was excellent even though they were very crowded. I recommend the tiramisu.So stop on by and give it a try.Parking: Large parking decks and some street parking.Kid-friendliness: Great for kidsWheelchair accessibility: On same level as street.“

“While visiting UMD, my daughter and I wanted some ice cream and decided to try Class 520, Location is great, very close to campus. We both ordered bubble tea and ice cream , everything was awesome. Portions are large. Prices are good, service was very nice. Will definitely return.“

“If you’re at the Rockville Town Center and looking for a cheaper dessert place with quality ice cream and a ton of add ins, then look no further.This place has a delicious in-house ice cream experience with tons of add ins for cheap prices.I got a small (which was honestly pretty big compared to other smalls I have seen) signature mix for only about $5!For all the sizes you get, you get unlimited add ins or a choice of a signature with suggested toppings already mixed in. They also provide smoothies, shakes, cakes, and pints to take home as well!“

“The team at this location was extremely helpful, communicative, and easy to work with for a corporate catering order. They talked through options to ensure our event was a success and most importantly, that Italian Ice was easy to serve and didn't melt if left out for some time. Will be working with them again in the future.“

“I always love getting cold stone ice cream!! It is so good but I wanted to review this location because of the great service. They were really nice and considerate. Without me asking they separated the waffle cone bowl from the ice cream so it would not get soggy. They put a lid on the ice cream so it would not spill. The ice cream was amazing like always but this location is special because of the great service.“
