Ice Cream Shops near Capitol Heights

“My children and I love coming to this location for ice cream. Each time the associates have been really patient and generous with the scoops. I also appreciate the variety of ice cream flavors they offer at this location. It’s called Baskin Robbin’s 31 flavors for a reason. There’s always more than 31 flavors here and I appreciate that.“

“The food was really good but the lady speaking in the drive through was really hard to understand. As I asked her to repeat herself multiple times, it seemed like she got quite angry with me. Not a great experience but it’s fast food, what did I expect“

“We were so excited to have Mr. Charles of Everyday Sundae be part of our wedding weekend. After we got engaged, we stopped by his ice cream shop that night for a treat, and from that moment, we knew we had to work with him for our special day. Having Everyday Sundae at our pre-wedding park day/cookout was such a fun and personal touch. Everyone was so surprised and absolutely loved the raspberry sorbet and Everyday Sundae’s signature bourbon truffle ice cream. It was a huge hit with our guests! Working with Mr. Charles was super easy—he’s professional, reliable, and was genuinely excited to be part of our wedding weekend. His warm personality and charm added so much to the event, and we couldn’t be happier to have included him in our wedding festivities. We love Mr. Charles and highly recommend Everyday Sundae for anyone looking to add a fun, personal touch to their event!“

“Seaport, Boston location. Staff MADE SURE I was picking the flavor that I really wanted. They wanted me to feel like a welcome tourist. Mission Accomplished.“

“Mike did great job. Enjoyed my visit“

“Great service, clean, and delicious! Definitely a great treat!“

“Nearly perfect Wisconsin style frozen custard.“

“I stopped by Pitango for dessert, and it definitely hit the spot! 😋 I tried two flavors: Stracciatella (vanilla with chocolate chips) and Fondente (dark chocolate). I don't usually eat gelato, so I was pleasantly surprised by the creaminess. The service was excellent; I wasn’t sure what to choose, but the cashier helped me by offering samples and sharing details about each flavor I tried. One of the chocolate flavors I sampled was incredibly rich and chocolatey—it's water-based and vegan-friendly, which was a first for me! The restaurant was nice, clean, and had indoor seating that could accommodate several people, but I decided to take my treat to go.“

“Love the quality of the ice cream the candy apples are amazing The fudge is outstanding.“

“The gelato I had was absolutely delicious! While it wasn't as creamy as Pitango's, I really enjoyed the variety of flavors they offered. I ordered a three-flavor cup and chose Black and White Cookie Batter, Dark Chocolate Fudge, and Dulce de Leche Chip. Each flavor was delightful! The restaurant was quite busy, which was a good sign considering its prime location near shopping stores and not far from Chinatown. There was plenty of seating available for customers to sit and savor their treats or coffee. Despite the crowd, the cashiers did an excellent job attending to everyone and even offered samples.“

“Best ice cream ever! Been coming here for decades. I live in Florida now, but any time I’m back we go!“

“I love the hot cocoa from Dolci Gelati at the National Zoo for Zoo Lights. I bought 1 for me and 1 for a friend & went back again for a second night for more on the last night of Zoo Lights. Whipped cream, chocolate & caramel syrup is added to the top. It’s the best treat on a cold winter night or day at the zoo. Thank you!! I’ll keep coming back & bring friends.“

“I just wanted to give a shout out to this great business! They provided ice cream (with all the fixins') to my residents during our educational/wellness event. The customer service was great and the ice cream was delicious 😋. Be sure to treat yourself to them if you're ever in the area.“

“The young lady serving us was very helpful and knew all she needed to serve us quickly and professionally. The gelato was exceptional!!“

“Don't miss out on this little gem! The employee was incredibly kind and welcoming. The ice cream was out of this world. You must try out honey graham! There was also an area to buy small-business made items such as cook books, spices, sauces, and jewelry. It is obvious that each item for sale in the little shop was chosen with care and great thought.“

“Amazing staff with an amazing mission!“

“Updated review: I've been here a few dozen times over the last decade, they've officially lost their essence. They're now pretty darn expensive. It's too bad. They used to be known for great custard and baked goods at reasonable prices, but it looks like they're now going with maximum extraction. So it goes.

Old review: Fair prices and excellent frozen custard concoctions; this place sits in a part of the DC area that you would swear was a world away - i.e. in a wholesome town in middle America. It's an institution worth the trip and likely line... Out the door.

Always feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @joerazz“

“The vegan options are great!!!“

“Chunky Monkey, always so yummy 👍👍“

“MDI has the most delicious ice cream and you can really taste the care and quality ingredients that go into the product. Interesting array of flavors, amazing texture and mouthfeel, and I love that this place is not afraid to get adventurous with flavors. Black Sesame--yum! At the same time, their most simple, traditional flavors are among my favorites--Strawberry and Cookies and Cream are absolutely delightful. I appreciate that this place continues to keep their prices very reasonable, especially given how crazy expensive food has gotten in 2024. The staff is helpful and kind and I love supporting this anchoring neighborhood spot! A favorite weekly tradition!“

“First time Customer 05/12/23. My experience was great. I was very surprised at the variety of flavors, I chose Vanilla (I figured you can’t go too wrong w/ Vanilla), IT was Delicious, I can’t wait to try some of the other Flavors now, the Homemade Taste was awesome, the prices were great, the speed of service was marvelous( It was seemingly right during “rush hour”, there was a line, however, the line moved swiftly, the Helpers (Young Staff), was very flexible, friendly, patient, quick, on top of things and handled business very professionally. I was impressed. I will GO BACK and refer Friends and Family to my New Found “Custard/ Ice Cream” Place. It’s been kept a secret from me. Now I Know.“

“delicious-quick-friendly!“

“I had the olive oil ice cream!!! They drizzled some olive oil and salt on top. So so so good!
This may be the best ice cream I’ve ever had, definitely the best in DC.

There is a bit of a wait in the line, but the staff is so friendly and it’s worth the wait!“

“Delicious ice cream! Great venue!“

“I was searching the universe for lavender honey ice cream as a special treat for Valentine’s Day. My wife and I had it a million moons ago in Palm Springs and we loved it so much. I came across Moorenkos and met Susan who is so, so nice. She was able to get me a nice supply of the lavender honey ice cream and we also stocked up on cinnamon cappuccino. Omg! Kim was so surprised and it made for a great treat. Thanks Susan and thanks Moorenkos! You’re The Best!!!“

“My Daughter said One of the best ice cream ever.☺️“

“I came in on Saturday night after the kids were begging me all day for a sweet treat. We were helped by a young lady that was so inviting and informative! I typically hate ice cream, but after the different flavors were described to us so beautifully I couldn’t help but try out a couple. I was not disappointed! The ice cream was delicious and tasted exactly as described. We truly enjoyed our experience and will be making this a regular stop for family fun days!“

“Funnel cake fries was the bomb as always.😜“

“Best Dessert 🍮 ever ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Ice cream! What else can you ask for!“

“Fantastic way for both 2- and 4-legged friends to celebrate a pup’s birthday! Shantee is the best — super friendly and helpful - thank you!“

“A quiet and clean shop with friendly staff. There are many ice cream flavors to choose from — I really liked the pistachio! 💚
A small cup costs $7 and comes with three scoops (you can pick three flavors).

I also bought some Middle Eastern sweets to take home — six pieces for $20. The price is quite reasonable since these desserts usually cost more due to the ingredients and the complexity of making them.
The selection isn’t huge, but everything I tried was delicious. ✨“

“Best gelato we’ve ever had in the States! Truly! This is the real deal. Highly recommend. We’ll be stalking your page with hopes that you’ll be near us again.“

“Oh the memories!! I can remember my Mom taking me for ice ream here back in the 60’s and 70’s. It was a special treat. My Mom loved their Coffee Flavored ice cream.“

“I love Tipsy Scoop, REAL BAD. Ice Cream Cocktail Mixology — 5 stars, I’ll take 100 more classes! Lumiere Ice Cream Cocktail Class was a vibe! We got to meet CEO of Lumiere, Terrence Wheeler, and sampled the vodka and infused ice cream as well. The class is from 11-1 pm so it starts and ends before the shop opens that way we aren’t interrupted during our private session. We were able to try all the flavors that are offered. They have ice cream and sorbet. You make two cocktails in class. The owner Danielle is super sweet! It’s a great class to take with friends. The ice cream is delicious as well! Next class is: ⏳11 - 1pm 💰$65 per person 📍Tipsy Scoop 675 I St NW Washington, D.C. 20001“

“I’m originally from Texas and I’ve eaten Mexican paletas (popsicles) my whole life. These are among the best I’ve ever had. You can see and taste the fresh fruit—so delicious and refreshing! The mangonada is also great if you’re feeling adventurous (it’s a spicy mango Mexican treat).“

“In terms of food quality, this place is great. But the two times we’ve been there, it’s been within the last hour of closing and the smell is this place is TERRIBLE. Like truly awful. Smells like a mix of cleaning products and a portapotty. I’m not sure if they’re having plumbing issues or if it’s part of the end-of-day cleaning process, but hopefully they can address it. Yogurt and toppings are great though!“

““Great restaurant! The tea was delicious, the pizza vegetarian & tibs and doro was fresh and tasty, and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly Nati & bini and very welcoming. I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely come back.”“

“this has got to be the bedt ice cream I have ever had...the flavors...the cones...the customer service...everything was top notch and I will definitely be back“

“All ice cream is home made. I had the chocolate ore in a cake cone and mom had a cup of the special pannacotta. You can't go wrong with either but the special delicious surprise was the fresh baked home made chocolate chip cookie! Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft, warm and moist on the inside with melted chocolate in every bite!“

“Seaport, Boston location. Staff MADE SURE I was picking the flavor that I really wanted. They wanted me to feel like a welcome tourist. Mission Accomplished.“

“EVERYTHING!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

“Love having an affordable burger joint in the neighborhood with a gluten free option, and THANK YOU for not upcharging for dietary restrictions ♥️

The gluten free bun is decent, but a bit dry. Not amazing but I will take what I can get, and I'd rather have that than an upcharge!

Fries and ube ice cream are a nice addition as well, but those get very expensive quickly!“

“Always a treat going to this ice cream shoppe. I should buy different flavors but I go specifically for the treat of my favorite flavors. Thankfully not as expensive as the one with the marble more on par with the 31 flavors. Staff are cordial and helpful.“
