“First time here at Dessert Junkie. This spot is nothing short of ADORABLE. The owner Alexis has one of the best customer service experience I’ve experienced in a long time. She let us sample anything we wanted and was very patient as we were undecided. I’ve found my new dessert home. Now the desserts….THE BOMB and the variety is exceptional. I’m coming back. Oh and we even got to tour the kitchen.“
Bubble Tea • $
“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.“
“My son and I ate at Bacio today and let me say we had a wonderful experience. We sat on the cute patio and it was so peaceful and quiet, you wouldn’t know you were in the middle of DC. The server was friendly and attentive. I liked the alcohol selection, and had wine. We enjoyed mozzarella sticks which we could tell were made in house and not just reheated from frozen like in most other places. The pizza my son got was fresh and delicious. I enjoyed my arugula salad with shrimp. I wish they were a little more cooked but that is a personal preference. The desserts very very good too, we really liked the limoncello raspberry cake. We really highly recommend this place and we can’t wait to go back!“
“Upon entering the facility, I was showing my mom what cookies were available for the week, waiting for the kiosk when one of the employees asked if we would like help. They took our order and showed us the beautiful cookies. I had a jammy heart cookie that was sweet and delicious!“
“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.“
“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“
“Came to the area for a different restaurant but they were closed. Happen to find this place within walking distance. Things happen for a reason. Welcoming staff, quaint dining area and amazing food. Will definitely be a stop on our next ride out.“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“This place can get popping' with its limited parking but it's close to my house and they usually have what you're looking for. Street parking can be available if they have no space in their lot and they have a small seating section next to the line where you order. There are three windows you can order from but only the first two have the bar code scanners. I love this place and will definitely be coming more during summer time!“
“Gelat’oh came to my school for teacher appreciation week! It was by far the BEST part of the week! They had so many great flavors it was hard to choose! I got 1/2 salted caramel and 1/2 Cinnamon Toast Crunch and they both taste DELISH! The woman in the truck was so friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend!!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“This was my first time at this shop. I was craving some funnel cake and it was delicious. They have so many favors of ice cream! My son loved the cotton candy flavor. My husband enjoyed his strawberry smoothie. The staff was super nice and I loved the relaxed atmosphere. A hidden gem! We live so close by and will definitely come back.“
“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.“
“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“

“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.“
“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 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“
“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.“
“Yummy yummy to my tummy. There is nothing bad to say about Rita's Italian Ice.The staff at this location are less than enthusiastic and usually have stepped away and have the windows shut in between taking orders. The parking for this location is very tight and congested.Nevertheless, I'll be back over and over again because I need my dose of Rita's.“
“Came to La Neveria Michoacana for a sweet treat and opted for a banana split. I chose 2 vanilla and 1 tres leches scoops topped with M&M's, peanuts, and wafers. It was delicious! The homemade ice cream stood out with its quality taste. I'll definitely return for more.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Francesco and his brother were the perfect fit for our wedding reception. Having spent time in Italy, we absolutely loved their authentic, delicious gelato. They really worked with us on our flavors and delivering exactly what we wanted. They provided such a charming and polite service for our guests. Having our own family experience with Downs Syndrome we love that their business does so much to support the community and dispel misconceptions. We highly recommend them for any event. We enjoyed the entire process from start to finish! - Emily & Dylan (Sept 1, 2023)“
“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!“
“Delicious cookies and ice cream, great customer service!Nothing better than warm cookies fresh out of the oven! I've had problems with delivery a few times, where some of my order was missing, but that's on the delivery service, not Insomnia Cookies. Whenever that's happened, I've just called the store, and they've promptly taken care of it, either by re-sending out my order or issuing a refund.“
“I really like this particular SweetFrog location in Maryland more than the others. They have a great selection of yummy toppings, and I've never been let down. The place is also very clean, and all the frozen yogurt flavors are available. On 2-21, the customer service was exceptional. The cashier was super friendly and helpful.“
“I visited the Bowie location last week, and was assisted by Kim. She was awesome! The customer service was top-notch! She created my ice cream mixture just as requested and even engaged in polite conversation while she prepared my order. The delicious ice cream was the cherry on top of my visit!“
“Nice hot and humid day.... I scream, you scream ... we all scream for ice cream! This is a walk up window ; where you order and pay and they call your name when it's ready. There are a couple benches and tables to sit and eat at. I ordered a waffle cone with butter pecan ice cream. They definitely didn't skimp on the pecans. Pecans galore in my ice cream. . Hahaha more pecans than ice cream actually and I was okay with that. Usually places skimp on the pecans and only give you the cream. My other half ordered mango sorbet.... Light and refreshing and hit the spot. Nice treat on a hot day! Parking is shared with other restaurants and stores nearby ; on the plus side it's free at least.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Mauricio is the best!me and my boyfriend were craving sweets 10:30 pm and we decided stop by mangolina it said on google closed at 11pm we walked in and Mauricio apologize to use and told us, “sorry for the inconvenient….” right and we told him it was fine that we’ll come back next day that it was no worries we totally get it :) and he gave us some drinks on him.

“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“
“It was an absolute PLEASURE to patronize this location! The staff was amenable, the gentleman serving was very patient with all eight of us (which included several children), and the product hit the spot. Well done, Forestville; keep up the excellent service. We will definitely be back.“
