50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Temple Hills

“I’m originally from Texas and I’ve eaten Mexican paletas (popsicles) my whole life. These are among the best I’ve ever had. You can see and taste the fresh fruit—so delicious and refreshing! The mangonada is also great if you’re feeling adventurous (it’s a spicy mango Mexican treat).“

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

“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 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!!!“

“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!“

“Delicious! Interesting flavors and so good.“

“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.“

“Nearly perfect Wisconsin style frozen custard.“

“Best ice cream ever! Been coming here for decades. I live in Florida now, but any time I’m back we go!“

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

“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.“

“Cookies and ice cream!! Mike is great 👍🏽“

“One of the best ice cream shops I’ve been to in a long time, I was pleasantly surprised to find homemade custard. The root beer was delightful in my root beer float and you can definitely taste the honey flavors the root beer was made with. The vanilla custard was refreshing and fantastic. I got there 30 minutes prior to closing and the place had a line out the door. It was a fast line and worth the short wait time. I understand now why it was so popular and I look forward to trying more from the menu in the future. They had a lot of great options and accommodations for almost anyone such as sorbet. Really cute area and if you go across the street and down a little there’s more seating to sit and eat your delicious treat outside. There’s also a cute little garden spot directly across the street too with a few seats and a spot for a treat for your dog in the mail box. I would 100% recommend this spot but expect it to be busy.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious burgers, friendly staff, wonderful service. Perfect for kids with small tables outside and a kids burger, fries and purple ice cream option 💜. The staff know our kids and other neighborhood kids. I switched to the veggie burger recently and it's delicious! Recommend trying it for non-vegetarians as well! Stop by Joia if you're thinking about it!“

“Chunky Monkey, always so yummy 👍👍“

“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 young lady serving us was very helpful and knew all she needed to serve us quickly and professionally. The gelato was exceptional!!“

“Delicious ice cream! Great venue!“

“First time Customer 05/12/23. My experience was great. I was very surprised at the variety of flavors, I chose Vanilla (I figured you can’t go too wrong w/ Vanilla), IT was Delicious, I can’t wait to try some of the other Flavors now, the Homemade Taste was awesome, the prices were great, the speed of service was marvelous( It was seemingly right during “rush hour”, there was a line, however, the line moved swiftly, the Helpers (Young Staff), was very flexible, friendly, patient, quick, on top of things and handled business very professionally. I was impressed. I will GO BACK and refer Friends and Family to my New Found “Custard/ Ice Cream” Place. It’s been kept a secret from me. Now I Know.“

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

“Cookies are so good food good“

“The kindest people ever and absolutely FLAVOR BOMB pizza!! I got half and half dorowat and kitfo. I liked the dorowat with the green chutney the most. The crust was absolutely perfect -- fluffy but with a crispy bottom. No soggy or floppy slices here! They treat you like family. Lots of beautiful cultural decor.“

“Amazing staff with an amazing mission!“

“Ice cream! What else can you ask for!“

“This is cream was so good man I booked him for 3 more events. I truly love their variety of flavors. Booked him for my daughter birthday party and she’s still reminiscing the ice cream. Great customer service and gave the crowd a show with deliciousness and the effort of the making process.“

“delicious-quick-friendly!“

“Mmmm very coconut-y and chocolatey 🥥🌴😋“

“​If you have a sweet tooth, this place is a must-visit. The selection is amazing, and the quality of the sweets is unmatched.
​What really sets this place apart, though, is the customer service specifically from Firas. He greeted us with a huge smile, walked us through the different treats, and made sure we walked out with exactly what we wanted. His warm hospitality and great energy made a wonderful experience even better. Thank you, Firas! #H*****“

“Fantastic way for both 2- and 4-legged friends to celebrate a pup’s birthday! Shantee is the best — super friendly and helpful - thank you!“

“My Daughter said One of the best ice cream ever.☺️“

“I wish their online menu was the same as in person... the two flavors I wanted they didn't have. Regardless, what I did get was still great and the employees were nice, quick, and professional. Automatically get a little waffle cone chip in your bowls! Portions were a bit smaller than expected, but I'd still come again.“

“The vegan options are great!!!“

“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.“

“I have been here over a dozen times. I always leave the Staff to find something good for me because there are so many flavors! They haven’t Steered me wrong once! This is absolutely my guilty pleasure 😊. Everyone should definitely check it out.“

“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.“

“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!“
