“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!“

“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“

“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.“

Yogitopi Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt • $
4924 Elm St, Bethesda

“Yummy froyo place in Bethesda Row. Smaller array of flavors but they are all so delicious! Also includes vegan froyo options like sorbet. Good topping choices with a clean hygienic self serve area. Super nice workers who let us sample flavors before we actually got them. Yummy and good music taste. Very clean interior and perfect stop while shopping around Bethesda Row. Really want to emphasize how kind the worker was!! I think his name was Pablo, he's so sweet and seems to really care about the store.“

Dolcezza Gelato & Coffee Ice Cream Shop • $$
7111 Bethesda Ln, Bethesda

“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.“

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams Ice Cream Shop • $

Customers` Favorites

Ice Cream and Non Dairy Sorbet Flavors
Buttercrisp Waffle Cone or Bowl

“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!“

Pasty Case
Gelato

“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.“

“Absolutely creamy deliciousness. I especially love their coconut and their dark chocolate ice creams. They have a couple of nice benches in a garden right outside their door so that you can relax there with friends or family this making the whole thing an enjoyable experience.“
