“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!“

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

“While on a food tour, we went past Yala. We had to come back the next day when we had time and we were so thrilled that we did! Not only is the store beautiful, the story of the ice cream is as well. Got to meet the owner and was served by Daniel- the sweetest and nicest young man who offered us samples! That made the decision even harder!! 🤣 Not only delicious, but made with love. Just sad I live almost 3 hours away (but probably better for my waistline). Run, don’t walk when you’re in Georgetown for this scrumptious ice cream!“

“A friend recommended this restaurant and the waiter was very helpful in choosing our appetizers and meals, and also provided excellent wine pairings. We even had a little chat with the other guests“

“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.“

“As a former pastry chef I find Jubilee to be an Exceptional tasting ice cream. I was super impressed, and Fell in love with the sweet potato and candy molasses. Crave it even! It was evident to me that they use Quality ingredients, decadent flavor profiles with lots of Creativity.“

“The flavors are unique and delicious! There were so many options to choose from but the coconut was my personal favorite !“

“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.“

“Deliciosos 🍨 ice cream y el lugar muy bien limpio“

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

“We have Ice cream Monday every week. It’s great to turn a bad day into Ice cream Monday!!! Staff is always great!“

“We’ve been going to Carmen since our kids were little. The ice and custard are delicious and the service is always amazing.“

“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.“

“being the Pizza King of the DMV. i really enjoyed it. went last nite. i def shudve been opening day. im glad i made it out.“

“Nice lady doing a perfect job for customers“

“Loved the variety of flavors and toppings! Family and kid friendly it was very delicious“

“The food is absolutely amazing 👏!“

“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.“

“Delicious! Best ice cream ever! We get it every time my daughter Sarah goes to the orthodontist and it makes it extra special because she is named Sarah and it's called Sarah's handmade ice cream and she really likes the samples because that helps us choose what flavor to get and it's just amazing definitely recommend five out of five stars“

“My girlfriend and I went here three days in a row 🤣 it’s the best burger in the DMV in my opinion, as someone who was born and raised in the area. The smash burgers are so fresh and loaded with the house-made sauce, onions, pickles, and tomatoes, and served on a fluffy bun. Highly recommend the savory truffle sauce for the fries. Get the double patty burger and you gotta try the ube soft serve. Will definitely come back. Just wish there were more seating inside, but there’s parks nearby where you can eat so it’s not too bad“

“Amazing staff with an amazing mission!“

“Amazing store for Froy. The employees are very nice, and the different tastes from the Froyo varies and gets changed out. Also the toppings are amazing, there is always something for everyone.
All my friends I brought there from outside the Country are big fans of it, and definitely want to come back. I can recommend this to everyone who wants to have an amazing frozen yogurt :)“

“Their Ethiopian pizza is incredible! Chewy, crispy crust, loaded with flavorful toppings. It comes with hot honey that is a perfect compliment to the pizza and a green sauce which is really good too. You can get half and half two different styles of pizza if you can't decide.

Service is great too. Order at the counter, the staff are very helpful and so nice. The music can be a little loud inside but they have a great outdoor seating area when the weather is nice.“

“Delicious cookies and always friendly staff. Great for celebrations or just a treat to brighten your or someone else’s day! Something for everyone’s taste. There are a few regular flavors (sugar, chocolate chip…) and then 4 or more other flavors that change each week. I recommend placing your order on the app. You’ll get points toward free cookies and a cookie on your bday.“

“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!“

“Excellence everything a great environment, very friendly,“

“My boyfriend and I were visiting from Texas. Found Alfreda’s online and came for dinner. It was absolutely amazing and our favorite meal of our trip. I had the blueberry St. Germain spritz and the passion fruit spritz— both great. And we shared the Caesar salad and the Alfreda pizza add basil. It was definitely up there, if not was, our favorite pizza we’ve ever had. Highly recommend the Alfreda sauce on the side, like a dilly ranch with a bit of sweetness. I highly recommend and so glad we found it!“

“Delicious ice cream! We ordered double scoop of matcha mochi + honey graham. Honey graham was the best ever. Matcha mochi was amazing as well. The texture was very chewy and not watery, which indicates high quality ice cream. There are also cute candy packets and chips and cards for sale. Will definitely come again!“

“delicious-quick-friendly!“

“The vegan options are great!!!“

“BEST ice cream in the area, from truly pasture raised cows! I drive in from outside the Beltway to stock up on quarts.“

“Very good texture, with a spin on classic flavors. Strawberry with polenta tasted a lot like the strawberry shortcake popsicle, except with a much more natural and intense strawberry flavor. I was a big fan. Chocolate sorbet could have used more chocolate intensity. Texture on both was very good.“

“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.“

“Great! Plenty of parking and options. Plus it’s open pretty late. It’s right next door to the Regal movie theater, offers 4 non-dairy flavors, closes at 10:30pm on weekends, and has an “all gender bathroom.” Several ice cream cakes and other frozen treats are available for grab and go out of their freezer.“

“We went to get ube unfortunately they ran out, we tried the green tea instead. Good choice it’s delicious. I will come back for ube next time.“

“It is a super nice true Italian Gelato and coffee Cafe. Was really impressed with the decor, the Italian vibe in everything. Cool layout for a small space. The staff was nice and knowledgeable. One star off for serving completely crushed macaroons although they were tasty, if they are broken or crushed, you don't sell or serve them.“

“I recommend the service, fun atmosphere, & the Variety of flavors (though in truth they should have a Dr. Ro’s Fave Flava) somebody tell the mgt.😉.“

“Wonderful gluten free options and excellent coffee and smoothies !“

“What an amazing group of hard working people. We just did 100 orders with them (I know, we are crazy for Carmen’s), and they were so kind to recognize it. The staff is always so kind no matter how busy it gets there. Their gelati tastes so great, as it’s definitely my favorite item.“

“Dolcezza Gelato & Coffee serves some really great gelato. The flavors taste natural, clean, and fresh, without being overly sweet or artificial. They also have plenty of interesting flavors to choose from, which makes deciding what to get half the fun.

My only complaint, and it’s a minor one, is that the gelato I had was slightly softer than I prefer. I felt like it could have been just a little firmer to give it a better texture and consistency.

That said, the flavor was excellent, and that’s ultimately what matters most. Great gelato, interesting choices, and definitely a place I’d happily visit again.“

“I came to insomnia today after a long day of work and was greeted so kindly by this girl name liyah. she had amazing customer service, was very attentive and so kind, i really enjoyed my conversation with her, she gave me my cookies really quick and was very kind, overall amazing experience and great customer service!“

“Always busy and never a bad complaint one day when it’s cold and the line is not so long we can go from there love the coupons“

“It’s a really good place for frozen yogurt ice cream. They have a variety of flavors, the toppings are very good and the sauces too. In general it is very good to invite friends or family or even with children.

I would recommend that you could see the points on the page in an easier way. The page fails a lot and it is difficult to enter.“

“Ice cream jubilee just earned a loyal customer Me and my son came in this evening to have some wonderful ice cream and some great wonderful service deleesha I think that was her name seemed a little over worked because she had a long line of people, but she was wonderful and helped us decide our perfect flavors Will definitely be back soon and will be telling everybody about the location is a perfect location as well“
