“Amazing gelato experience!

The waffle tasted incredibly fresh, and the pistachio kunafa flavor had the perfect crunch without being overly sweet—really well balanced. The hazelnut ice cream was rich and delicious as well.

Portion-wise, I do feel the second scoop could be slightly more generous for the price, but the quality definitely makes up for it.

I usually can’t finish desserts, but this one was so good I ate the entire thing. Would absolutely come back again!“

“As someone with numerous food allergies, Ian Mendoza helped create a safe environment for me to eat without any worry or stress. He took the time to show me the nutritional for each flavor that was safe for my food allergies. On top of that he would go the extra mile and get a new pint with a clean spoon to make sure there was no cross contamination. This stood out the most because he truly cared about the safety of my health. For 26 years I’ve had these allergies and always had to be on my toes on new places to eat. And for the first time having Ben and Jerry’s, I am extremely grateful to Ian and his team for being so insightful and safe with my dietary restrictions.

For those that have food allergies please check out Ben and Jerry’s in Rockville, MD, the team will help ensure you have a safe and delicious experience as I have!“

When they were out of the flavor we requested for our holiday ice cream cake, he put in so much effort to contacting us, making a custom flavor for us, and making sure we were able to get our order in time for the holiday, even with special hours. The communication was excellent, and all of the ice cream and cakes on display looked so good!“

“Absolutely loved my visit to Häagen-Dazs Kentlands! The store was super clean and had such a fun, welcoming vibe. The staff was amazing! Carlos was super kind and helpful while I picked my flavors, and Tatiana, the manager, made the whole experience feel so warm and personal. You can tell she really cares about her team and the customers

I got a small cup with Salted Brown Butter Cookie and Dulce de Leche , both were rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Portion size was perfect too.

What stood out the most was the positive energy in the store everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there. I’ll definitely be coming back. This place is a hidden gem in Kentlands!“

“I stepped into this delightful store, greeted by Marshe and Delisha. They transformed it into more than just another ice cream experience ; it became an inviting atmosphere. Even after learning from the Manager, Jess, that their ice cream is locally sourced, I felt a sense of pride knowing that the community supports this pillar of our town. Thank you, wonderful people for making my first visit so pleasant and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!

Pro tip, ask them where does the south begin in Virginia. Thank me later. 🙂“

“I came in last week to get a treat for my family. Service was a bit hands off but pleasant enough. Four folks with yogurt and minimum toppings came out to right $25 bucks. This isn’t cheap but about what you should expect for 4 people getting a treat.

They have lots of different yogurt options with the vanilla, coconut, and mango really standing out. The toppings are plentiful as well.

This place has a good selection of sweets for all the different preferences in a family. It is worth a visit.“

“After dinner I was craving some delicious ice cream & my date surprised me by taking me to the cutest ice cream shop ever. I am a big fan of gelato and when I tell you this is TOP SHELF w/ a side of phenomenal customer service I mean it. The staff was super nice, they allowed me to taste different flavors before I made my decision. They also have the cutest little “I melt for you” sign to take IG worthy pictures. Will most definitely be back for more! Gracias! 😊“

“The yougart is not very sweet, then their green tea w taro is very good too.“

“Vegan pizza and garlic knots“

“Love the latte flight! And the sandwiches are delicious!“

“Haagen-Dazs is probably one of the most expensive ice cream places that I have been to, almost $8-$9 after tax. However, what makes them stand out from other ice cream stores is that they don’t use artificial ingredients, and their ice cream is a bit bold and dense compared to other ice cream brands. I really like their Belgian chocolate, because of the creaminess, richness of the chocolate.

I would say the service is great even though there is usually a big crowd waiting for their ice cream, especially when it gets closer to closing time. However, regarding the atmosphere, it feels a little cramped to be eating ice cream, especially with such limited seating. The staff aren’t the friendliest and gave a bit of an attitude when I asked about nuts, with no clear answer, but it panned out because the ice cream actually didn’t have nuts.

Vegetarian options: Not clear on vegan options.

Kid-friendliness: could make more profits if they started selling kids’ sizes.“
