Ice Cream Shops near Takoma Park

“Delicious authentic gelato. This little corner place on the edge of a parking lot across from a beautiful church is the perfect stop on a hot summer day. I've eaten gelato all over the world and this place compares to the best! Highly highly recommend.“

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

“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!“

“My fav ice cream, so happy it can be found at Walmart !!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“This place is unique and a delight to have in pentagon row! They have flavors I’ve never had anywhere before. The staff is friendly and the ice cream is made in house and it’s absolutely wonderful! Good excuse to take a walk to try every flavor! Yummy!!!“

“I have been buying the buttermilk berry cornbread such a unique flavor. It’s so good. I’m so addicted to it. I’ve never tasted such a grape flavor in ice cream ever.“

“Absolutely amazing! The coffee was rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed—truly some of the best I’ve had. The service was fantastic, with friendly and attentive staff who clearly care about their customers. The whole experience was top-notch, and I can’t wait to return!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is wayyy too expensive for me to go here but my girlfriend looooves their ice cream more than she loves me, so I've been here a few times. I don't like flavored ice cream that much so I usually get plain (not vanilla!) when I get ice cream, but you shouldn't do that at this place. The flavors actually add to the ice cream instead of take away from it. The texture is good too, but that's true of a lot of places.

So I would say, yes, go here if you can afford it. And if you like ice cream.“

“While I can’t speak for the brick and mortar location, this ice cream blew my mind! My organization had them serving ice cream at an event and they brought the cutest ice cream cart. The staff were friendly and the flavors were unique. Definitely paying the physical location a visit soon!!! Highly recommend.“

“I have been buying the buttermilk berry cornbread such a unique flavor. It’s so good. I’m so addicted to it. I’ve never tasted such a grape flavor in ice cream ever.“

“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!“

“The vegan options are great!!!“

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

“Love the quality of the ice cream the candy apples are amazing The fudge is outstanding.“

“clean bright super friendly yummy ice cream and they even have food! we met grandma and she was a shiny happy generous lovely woman. Definitely recommend! they have vegan too!“

“I’ve driven by this place close to a thousand times but never stopped. I can’t believe the amazing and wonderful place I “found” today when I finally made the bold decision to try something different. At first, I was going to grab a slice of pizza because I was impressed by the look of the slices in the display case. But after I started my order on the tablet, I saw a brisket sandwich piled high with coleslaw. I ordered with extra sauce but didn’t need it because the flavor is absolute perfection. This place is a hidden gem. Don’t miss out. You’re welcome.“

“I was searching the universe for lavender honey ice cream as a special treat for Valentine’s Day. My wife and I had it a million moons ago in Palm Springs and we loved it so much. I came across Moorenkos and met Susan who is so, so nice. She was able to get me a nice supply of the lavender honey ice cream and we also stocked up on cinnamon cappuccino. Omg! Kim was so surprised and it made for a great treat. Thanks Susan and thanks Moorenkos! You’re The Best!!!“

“Clearly the best ice cream in downtown Bethesda. Family-run, Argentinian, they have a deep sense of generosity and local love. There is a lot of work and research behind the scene. Most of their ingredients are sourced in a 100-mile radius. Pistachio flavour is to die for, same for mango. Menu is in constant evolution. Push the door. I dare you not to go back!“

“Amazing staff with an amazing mission!“

“Ice Cream Dreams in DC's Funscape

Beneath the glow of Capitol light,
In Washington's warm summer night,
Dreams take shape in frosty swirls,
A cityscape alive with pearls.

The Tidal Basin whispers low,
As cherry blossoms start to glow,
With cones in hand, we take our flight,
Through marble halls and moonlit sights.

The Washington Monument points to the stars,
While kids chase laughter near food trucks and cars,
Scoops of vanilla, a creamy embrace,
Reflections dance on Lincoln's face.

By Eastern Market, flavors bloom,
Lavender, honey, and berry in plume,
The vibrant streets a canvas wide,
For cones that drip and hearts that glide.

From Georgetown's charm to H Street's hum,
Every corner sings, "Come, come!"
To taste the joy in a city's gleam,
And revel in sweet ice cream dreams.

In this funscape where history meets,
A summer treat makes life complete,
A scoop of wonder, a bite of delight,
Washington DC, a magical night.“

“On Friday my partner and I came in to get waffle cone and this worker named Tessa was absolutely amazing and explained each flavor and not once did I feel like a inconvenience she was very engaging and friendly, made some great suggestion.“

“delicious-quick-friendly!“

“We had a wonderful dinner at 1789 Restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. A lovely atmosphere, incredible staff, and FANTASTIC food and craft cocktails. The Brown Butter Old Fashioned is the best I’ve ever had. The staff went above and beyond to help us celebrate our anniversary. At the end of the meal, they presented us with a special, DELICIOUS dessert that included a thin piece of chocolate that said “Happy Anniversary” on it. I can’t wait to eat here again on our next visit to the DC area.“

“Genuinely super delicious and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients!! Definitely will be coming back. Such a simple menu, but it’s working in their favor! The space is on the smaller side but they have an adorable outdoor seating. I also love how kid-friendly the place was , including allowing kids to draw to decorate the space! Staff were also super friendly and it just feel a like a great local spot, that I hope is here for as long as possible.“

“This is my first time trying this cookies and I have to say it tasted amazing. But it was on the pricey side and it is definitely overly priced for the size of the cookie. It also had very limited options. There was only four options to pick from.“

“"I'm absolutely obsessed with this ice cream store! The moment you step inside, you're greeted with the warm smile of the friendly staff and the intoxicating aroma of freshly made waffle cones. But what truly sets this place apart is the incredible variety of unique and creative flavors.

From classic vanilla and chocolate to more adventurous options like matcha green tea and strawberry balsamic, there's something for every palate. And the best part? The generous portions ensure you'll never leave feeling disappointed.

I've tried numerous flavors, and each one has been a revelation. The textures are creamy, the flavors are rich, and the presentation is always Instagram-worthy. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this ice cream store is an absolute must-visit. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!" 10/10 would recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Great vibe for kids“

“Lulabelle’s is an absolute gem in Petworth. They hands down have the best coffee on the block, their espresso drinks are soooo delicious and you should try the cold brew on tap! The ice cream is to die for, hands down best ice cream in DC and the pastries and other foods are creative and delicious. My personal favorite are the injera crisps and the little fridge full of artisan cheeses!

Julie the owner is a hard working and good hearted person who is a pillar of the petworth community and all the others who work there are kind and welcoming.

Check it out, you won’t regret it!“

“Love the quality of the ice cream the candy apples are amazing The fudge is outstanding.“

“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.“

“Thank you to *Mali* for such a wonderful experience! I came in having just gotten my wisdom tooth removed (and in pain) and Mali was so welcoming, kind and caring, made my experience absolutely fantastic. Top tier customer service— promote and give this man a raise at all costs‼️“

“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.“

“I've had the Addis Ababa pizza and the egg and veggie breakfast sandwich, and both are really really delicious! If you're just visiting the area and aren't sure if you'll come more than once, you absolutely have to get one of the Ethiopian pizzas, you're not getting that combination of flavors maybe anywhere else. The price of the Ethiopian pizzas is fair because of the amount of toppings that go on them and how filling they are. Even on an empty stomach I get stuffed from three slices of the Addis Ababa and have to save the rest for later. The service has also been very friendly every time I've been, just a great family-run small business!“

“Luis at Jeni’s Ice Cream epitomizes phenomenal customer service! From the moment I walked in, he greeted me with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm that made me feel instantly welcomed. He went above and beyond to ensure I had the best experience, patiently guiding me through the menu and offering insightful recommendations. Luis’s attention to detail and his ability to anticipate my needs truly stood out. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to making each customer’s visit special, and Luis did just that. I’ll definitely be returning, thanks to his outstanding 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“

“Great customer service, many options to choose from! Delicious ice cream…you can’t go wrong here! Have it alone or with a partner! 😋“

“I like this environment very much, it allows me to work quietly. A cafe that pays attention to the environment and the quality of the coffee is good, I believe they will get better and better in the future. Reviews from Arlington residents.“

“Vegan pizza and garlic knots“

“La Gelatteria has a vast variety of coffee, gelato, and cafe food. Service is always fast and friendly. Clean and modern, it provides a welcoming, cozy feel. The best brunch in MoCo!“

“We went to the Mono (Georgetown) location and our burgers were excellent. The staff was friendly and the space was clean. There was outdoor seating enjoyed by many, but we chose to sit indoors and people-watch in the charming, bustling area on a Sunday afternoon. Great experience as out-of-towners!“

“Excelente servicio al cliente. Los ingredientes de muy buena calidad y el sabor es delicioso. 100% recomendado.“

“Funnel cake fries was the bomb as always.😜“
