“Absolutely delicious. The only ice cream store I know of that will split a single. Wonderful customer experience.“

“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!“

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.“

“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.“

“Soy muy feliz al saborear los sorbetes por por su variedad de sabores“

“An amazing place to enjoy freshly made hand crafted ice cream with so many toppings and drizzles. The owners are very polite and explain the details well to order the flavor of your choice. They are open until midnight, so great for late night sweet craving. I would highly recommend this place to all to enjoy the hand rolled ice creams.“

“Tried the unicorn ice yesterday. Very tasty flavor. Hope it becomes a permanent flavor.“

“Love the coffee so much, but only thing that bothers me is that they charge you $1.50 for non dairy milk in 2026, and their drinks are already overpriced compared to all of the other coffee spots, so my simple small iced lattes end up being $10 every time. Also there can be quite a wait time and confusion/friction on where to stand in line and who to order with.“

“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've always had good experiences at this location, which is why I'm still giving it 4 stars and will continue coming back.

That said, I had a concerning experience during my visit on June 29 at around 8:40 PM. I wasn't asked for my rewards phone number, which is normally fine because I can scan the barcode on my receipt later to receive my rewards points. However, when I received my receipt, there was no barcode to scan. In the past, whenever I haven't provided my phone number, a barcode has always been printed so I could claim my points afterward.

Based on that, I believe an employee may have entered a different rewards phone number instead of asking for mine. I can't say for certain that's what happened, but based on my previous experiences, it's the only explanation that makes sense to me. If that's what occurred, it's something management should investigate because customers shouldn't lose out on the rewards they've earned.

Other than this incident, I've always enjoyed coming here. The ice cream is great, the staff is usually friendly, and I hope this issue is addressed.“

“They have the very best frozen custard that I’ve had for years!“

“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!“

“Jeni’s Splendid Has Some of the Best Ice Cream Ever in the DMV“

“Vegan pizza and garlic knots“

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

“The original yogurt ice cream flavor was definitely my favorite — creamy, refreshing, and just right. There are so many topping options to choose from, but after trying the other flavors, I still think the original is the best. 🍦✨“

“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.“

“Wonderful people and delicious gelato. I highly recommend Gemma Gelato!! Thank you for the special help Tiger.“

“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.“

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

“Very organized and clean location! There was a nice man at the register this afternoon who was very friendly and working hard to ensure the toppings and counter were kept neat as there were many customers.

The machines were all working great, and flavors were tasty as always. Great topping options and were very fresh-tasting. :)“

“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! 😊“
