“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!“

What really stood out, though, was the service. Diana was exceptionally friendly, patient, and attentive, taking the time to explain flavors and make thoughtful recommendations. Her warm attitude made the visit even more enjoyable. Definitely a place I’d return to for both the gelato and the service.“

“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!“

“DOLCEZZA might just be my new gelato stop! I tried many flavors, but finally decided on Roasted Strawberry and Passionfruit Mousse. Such a great mix between sweet and tart! Highly recommend while passionfruit is still available! Also tried the matcha drinks and thought they both were good and had a unique taste to them. The Coquito was amazing! I’m not a coffee person, but the cinnamon blend made it taste so much better! I was shocked.“

“I really enjoy the extensive variety of tropical flavors that this place has! The ice cream portions are pretty big in comparison to amount you are generally served in other ice cream places. The ice cream is high quality and icrediably tasty! Also the customer service is really good . Definietly my favorite ice cream place!! If your thinking of going I would recomend trying the passion fruit , piña colada , or rum rasin.“

Can’t wait for the coffee and juices.“

“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.“

“John, the owner of Baskin-Robbins, goes above and beyond. 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!“

“Excellence everything a great environment, very friendly,“

“I tried the Midnight Cookies & Cream ice cream, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavor was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with chunks of cookies. You can really taste the quality in every bite.

The place was clean and well organized, and the service made the experience even better. Nela, the staff member who helped me, was very kind, friendly, and attentive. She made me feel welcome and took the time to help me choose.

Overall, a great spot for ice cream with excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Our family's favorite. Proud Crave Card powerusers! They are always coming up with new and delish flavors of ices, pops, custard, drinks, and every kind of dessert you can imagine. Plus they offer coffee and breakfast! . The Fall Gelatis are our go-to desserts. I just wish they would post the flavors of the day online, but that would be hard because there are so many!“

“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.“

“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. 🙂“

“Friendly comfortable environment with great coffee and sandwiches. I don't eat a lot of ice cream, but patrons I've watched really like it.“

“This review is for the location next to 7/11 10592B metropolitan ave, kensington md 20895. Best friendly and quick service, the place was so clean , i could had stay to eat there w my friend but we had to run back to work, the place was sparkling clean.“

“I’ve creme is so 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.“

“Vegan pizza and garlic knots“

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

“5 stars!

Stopped by Sweet Frog today and not only was the froyo amazing, but the service was even better. The young man working behind the counter was freaky, quick, and clearly knew what he was doing. Bonus points—he’s seriously attractive, which definitely made my day. Great customer service and a great smile? I’ll be back!“
