“This is my local Baskin Robbins. The staff - they are young and really nice. We are greeted when we enter and pre Corona virus we could try samples. The service In my families opinion is great. Thanks BR! And no I don't have a kid, friend nor family working there. Don't be jaded but do stop by and support our local businesses folks! Keep your money in PG County :-)“
“This is a cute little place with unique gelato flavors. We waited on a short line about 5 minutes. The staff is big and extremely agile. I was able to sample some flavors before deciding on hazelnut crackle and bananas foster. You can have two flavors in one cup. This is some of the best gelato I've had to be honest. It's just very expensive. My tiny maybe 6 ounce cup was almost $9. It's not something I would eat often at that price but a nice occasional treat.“

“The menu had too many good options and I wish I could come here all the time to get through the entire menu. During this trip, we tried the ube milk and the mango yuzu black tea. Both with boba of course. The ube milk was made with real ube so it was starchy like a potato, thick like a watered down milk shake, and really delicious. It wasn't sweet to me, it felt like a dessert vs a drink. The real winner was the mango yuzu black tea. It was also made with real mango fruit puree and tasted like a mango fruit leather. Bursting with flavor from the mango and had a zing from the yuzu, it was the perfect drink for the warmer weather outside. The boba was also so soft and chewy. This was a true boba place. And it was literally ran by one guy. If I lived in DC, this would be my go to boba drink place for sure.“
“Got the stratiacella and passion fruit sorbet. Like that they do two flavors in one cup. Wish that the stratiechella had those more classic chocolate ribbons but the passion fruit was killer. Relatively fast service even though we were stuck behind a big group of kids. Perfect post dinner snack vibes.“
“I felt like eating something sweet while sightseeing, so I went to this restaurant that has a high Google Map rating and many reviews. Visited around 11:30.We ordered chocolate, almond, lemon, raspberry and vanilla.What was especially delicious was the raspberry.It tasted amazing and delicious, just like eating fresh raspberries.Next time I go, I think I'll order the raspberry and chocolate + new flavor.There are 8 seats in total, including 2 counter tables that can seat 4 people, so you can eat in.We were the only people eating and drinking inside, but people kept coming in to buy coffee and baked goods.Unfortunately, the eat-in space is not clean.There were remnants of eaten bread and baked goods, gelato and coffee left on all eight tables.I thought this was really cruel.That said, the gelato taste was outstanding. I hope many people try the raspberry flavored gelato!“
“We went to the Mono (Georgetown) location and our burgers were excellent. The staff was friendly and the space was clean. There was outdoor seating enjoyed by many, but we chose to sit indoors and people-watch in the charming, bustling area on a Sunday afternoon. Great experience as out-of-towners!“
“Gourmet Chocolate...yes please! Outstanding and wonderful service. I got a decorative box for my Mom's birthday truffles and she loved it! The Carmel Apple, Chocolate covered oreos, and fudge is AMAZING! I highly recommend and will be back.“
“Delicious dairy and ice cream! They accidentally left a pint of gelato out of our order and then drove it by the same day with an extra included! So nice, and such incredible service during crazy times! I'm excited to go back there in person when things are opened up again.“
“This is a must visit if you are in Old Town Alexandria. Even in winter, the ice-cream hits the spot. They have great flavors to choose from and all of it is freshly made. I've tried ice cream from the other places in Old Town and they definitely don't come close to Pop's.It is a charming little store and perfect for first dates. Grab a little ice cream and take your lovely date for a stroll along the river. It's cheap, delicious, and romantic. You can't beat that!“
“My experience at the ben&jerrys in the national harbor was exceptional. The person serving me was very professional, polite and friendly. Due to a large number of my friends ordering all together, the man serving us was willing to give us a larger discount on our ice cream. Definitely the place to go for a sweat treat spring, summer, winter or fall!“
“Makiens service was extremely professional and as elegant as the chocolates served at Kilwins. The soft but enthusiastic phenomena his personality brings to Kilwins is nothing short of Oscar worthy and as welcoming as a smooth whiskey on a parched throat. Truly, a master of his craft. I will be returning for him.Chocolates were pretty good too“
“Loved the ice cream. It was extremely good. The dessert is well worth its price. The people are super friendly, the place is clean and organized. I enjoyed the friendly and welcoming atmosphere this place gave me and my friends. I encourage you to come buy some of this Gelato and ice cream.“
“Enjoyed coming here with my family. The young woman at the counter was so friendly. I told her I was hard of hearing and she was so patient with me. The young woman's name is Unique. She really cares. The food was good but the customer service was excellent. This was our first time in the DC area. We will definitely come back here on out next trip here.“
“We absolutely loved this place! The best tasting waffle cones I’ve ever had with yummy homemade ice creams. Chocolates galore and creamy fudges. Plenty of chocolates for Easter treats! Customer service was top notch. Friendly employees that really care.Dietary restrictions: They had a few options for tree nut allergies including chocolate and peanut butter fudge“
“My mom and I stopped in before seeing a show at the theater across the street. The place was clean and smelled so delicious! The ice cream was sooo good! I had the gooey butter cake and texas sheet cake (which was dairy free) and both were some of the best flavors I've had anywhere. And the cones! They're made fresh and have such a nice crunch without being so hard you break a tooth. I honestly almost went back for another when I was done. This is a definite stop!“
“A nice little ice cream shop with vegan options. They can get busy on the weekends but the line typically moves pretty fast - go during the week in the middle of the day and there’s usually no line. They also have pint size options to take home. The praline butter cake and the vegan planet earth are my favorite so far.“
“I had a wonderful experience visiting the ice cream shop today. I went in on an extremely hot day with my children and was not expecting much customer care. Despite my low expectations, the staff were engaging, patient and very friendly in helping my family and I choose flavors. I personally asked for the staffs names because I want the management and them to know that I appreciate them going over and beyond to provide customer service. Daisha, Kayla and Matt you all deserve a round of applause.“
“date of visit: Wed Aug 23, 2023 After walking through the city -we felt we deserved a sweet treat. We stopped into Larry's ice cream to satisfy our sweet tooth. Larry's is a small ice cream parlour on the lower level of a building. if you arent paying attention, you might miss it. The flavours of ice cream were very unique - i had never seen anything like this before. Obviously this is a small batch, hand-crafted artisinal ice cream. Oatmeal cook dough, Ginger (Peach, Brandy, Ginger) Pistachio , cardamom almond, and many others. We ordered a double scoop in a waffle cone. THe flavours were very good and quite unique. We enjoyed the ice cream very much. Quality ingredients, top notch flavours, and hand made - these things are worth paying a premium price for. The portions are a little smaller than you might get at some ice cream shops - but NOT compared to the big BR ice cream.“
“Awesome place. Great customer service and cleanliness is stellar. I grew up eating Baskin & Robbins ice cream. I even worked at one. Their ice cream doesn't compare in the slightest to the selection the Ice Cream Sweet Shop has to offer. Even my mom has taken notice, and she's a Butter Pecan connoisseur. Lol. Every chance she can, she gets her fix from The Sweet Shop.“
“Cookies: the cookies are always delicious and I don't even mind waiting a few minutes for the fresh ones! 5/5 Customer Service: the associates are normally great, however Annette's customer service skills can greatly be improved on especially when someone is spending $21+ for four cookies. 2/5“

“Great for gift giving no matter the occasion, this place will have something scrumptious! Are you looking for cherry blossom themed treats? They have chocolate cherry bark, plus holiday and special seasonal candy. Nice packaging too. Check out the CLOUD! It is a made-from-scratch marshmallow with a ribbon of caramel covered in chocolate.They also have chocolate covered pretzel rods, giant peanut butter cups. and chocolate covered oreos, which are very popular. There are many more candy items, too. If you can't make it to the candy shop on Capitol Hill, you can order online. My order arrived carefully packaged, quickly, and not any cookies were crumbled! My DC Landmark chocolate covered Oreos were delicious!Great communication from the company about the order - I knew exactly when it was arriving.“
“We visited this the one at the corner of 14th Street and F Street, close to the Treasury building and the White House. Probably our favourite place to eat in DC. We were very glad to have found it, not too far from the National Mall. We were determined to avoid all the burger vans serving crap! This place is not a tourist trap and serves decent enough coffee with plenty of choice. Also a good selection of baked goods, as the name implies. My partner loved the cinnamon roll. However I couldn’t help being shocked at how absolutely everything is served in disposable packaging. It seems so wrong and wasteful to a European. I realise America is different but not everything different is good. Anyway, having said that, it’s true of so many American places to eat, not just here. I would recommend it as a decent place to go within spitting distance of the National Mall and the White House. We really liked the relaxed atmosphere. Just one note of caution- I think I was pickpocketed in the restroom there, so take care if you go in there.“
“As my wife and I approached the store, we saw it was in a creepy looking dark corridor. It had no lights except those from the store. When we got close to the corridor, it suddenly didn't look dark. That's a trick on the eyes due to distance! It's located in "the mall" which is located in the corner of a small shopping area. This is a small family business. They sell ice cream, paletas, Latino prepackaged snacks, and cold drinks. They have a lot of unusual flavors in their frozen treats. Flavors like chicle, nuez, nance, pinon, tequila, etc. Paletas are Mexican frozen treats on a little stick. It can be made with fruit, herbs, spices, or ice cream. Some flavors are a combination of these. All of the frozen products in this store are bought from vendors. There was some delay in ordering because the woman in charge spoke only a little English. A young lady who was helping her, spoke English well. She didn't know all of the ingredients in many of the flavors. So, understanding Spanish would be useful. Searching the names of the flavors on the internet will give you the main ingredients. We bought 2 ice creams and 4 paletas.1) Gansito ice cream It was vanilla ice cream with swirls of chocolate syrup and strawberry syrup. It had shards of chocolate and pieces of strawberries. It had good flavors of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. This was much better than neopolitan ice cream! Gansito is a Mexican snack cake that has a chocolate coated sponge cake filled with white creme and strawberry jelly. I've never had a Gansito, but this was very delicious!2) Raspberry cheesecake ice cream It was buttery cheesecake ice cream with swirls of sweetened raspberry puree. It had bits of raspberry and tiny raspberry seeds. It was rich and creamy with a mild sweetness.3) Tequila paleta It was like an ice milk with a light tequila flavor with a mild sweetness. I can't say that I loved this. It was so-so.4) Rum raisin paleta It was like an ice milk with a moderate smooth rum flavor. The raisins were all clumped together at the top. It would have been better if the raisins were distributed evenly because the sweet raisins went well with the rum. An almost great flavor.5) Piñon paleta Piñon is the edible seed from a pine tree, aka pine nut. The flavor is mildly nutty. This paleta had a mild nutty and coconut milk flavor. It smelled like oily coconut. Not appealing at all!6) Nuez paleta Nuez means nut in Spanish and pecan in Mexican. This had a light butter pecan ice cream flavor. We enjoyed it because it wasn't too buttery or sweet. The service was helpful, patient, and polite. The store was clean. There were 2 tables and 4 chairs. No restrooms for the public. There's plenty of free parking around the area. They have at least 27 ice cream flavors and 24 paleta flavors. The price for 4 small scoops of ice cream was $5. The price for each paleta was $3. Not cheap, but some are worth the price. We'll be trying more flavors. The Latino snacks looked interesting also.“
“Do you like Chocolate Oranges? They have that as an ice cream flavor: "orange chocolate chocolate chip" - bad name, amazing taste.We went with only one person working, no tasting allowed and no soft serve, so that was all a bummer, but I still can't get over that amazing flavor.“
“Please note that this is a PRIVATE establishment. Only the best of the best are allowed entry. If you don't meet that criteria, you will be asked to leave.It's unfortunate that they don't have those same standards for their staff.Hot Dogs are delicious.“
“When I went there yesterday the service was amazing. Maaz was there and unfortunately just by himself. But he still performed excellent service and was very accommodating to our requests for a caramel instead of fudge for the hot fudge Sundae.“
“Yes! Yes! And MORE YES! I'm not even sure why they have a 4 star rating but I would give them 10 stars if I could! I walk in, a man immediately greets me with a smile, he's busy working with a huge pan of caramel apples. I move past the buckets of candy! There are the trays of apples! I want them all. The sweet girl behind the counter says she will be right with me. Customer service is amazing but coming home and eating my candy was perfection! Coming back every time I'm at the Harbor!“
“Locally owned, Moorenko's is an ice cream shop in Eastern Market with a vast menu of flavors, including dairy-free options. My daughter enjoys the milk chocolate ice cream with marshmallow and sprinkle toppings. They also have a chocolate chip cookie dough option with plenty of dough inside. The ice cream is pricey compared to the place inside nearby Eastern Market, but it is good!“
“I needed a good burger and Shake Shack never disapoints. I added bacon and I appreciate that there was no stinginess about adding it to my triple stack and to my fries. The staff always look as if they are having a good time so I love coming back.“
“With or without the kids, we have a GREAT time at this Ben & Jerry'sYou can eat and go on the swings or chill on cow-ch outside by the water. If it cold, you can walk the wharf and warm up by the fireplace.Dietary restrictions: Non dairy available“
“Rita's is always nice. Stopped by with my grandson after his soccer practice and had some Papa time. He loves having sprinkles and gummie bears on his. Just our special time together and Rita's was the perfect place for it. Always a great place for the kids“
“When I walked in it was so nostalgic because I hadn’t been there for 5 years. They had great service and when you walk in they even greet you saying “welcome to sweet frog”. So overall they were really nice had tons of flavors and a very clean store too. 5 stars!Parking: Many parking spots right in front of the storeKid-friendliness: The mascots where cute frogs that where cartoony and funWheelchair accessibility: When walking in there are no stairs and the entrance is level with the ground“
“This spot is located in the same building as Wiseguy Pizza and Khin Sushi. I was greeted immediately which is always a plus. They have a good variety of flavors to choose from. I'm a chocolate lover so I chose the Reeses and and Red Velvet flavors. Both were rich, creamy and tasty. The red velvet didn't really taste like red velvet to me but it was delicious. It just didn't give that signature flavor. Since they are located at the same counter as the sushi restaurant, it doesn't really feel like a gelato or ice cream shop but that isn't a dealbreaker. I would visit again.“
“I recently visited Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard and had a wonderful experience. I tried the mango Misto shake, mango Italian ice, cherry Italian ice, and mango gelato, and all were absolutely delicious!The mango Misto shake was creamy and refreshing, with a perfect balance of sweetness and mango flavor. The mango Italian ice was incredibly flavorful and tasted like biting into a fresh mango. The cherry Italian ice was also delicious, with a bold cherry flavor that was very refreshing. Lastly, the mango gelato was creamy and smooth, with a rich mango flavor that was simply delightful.The staff at Rita’s were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick and efficient. The prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes.Overall, I highly recommend Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard to anyone looking for delicious frozen treats. Whether you're a fan of Italian ice, gelato, or frozen custard, Rita’s has something for everyone! Love me some ritas.Parking: Parking is plentyKid-friendliness: Perfect place for kids and the entire familyWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs will not be obstructed“
