Ice Cream Shops near Wheaton Glenmont

“We LOVE Sarah’s Handmade Ice Cream. It’s delicious every time. Today we visited the new store in Gaithersburg and Sarah herself was ringing out customers! What a great, family owned business. We are so lucky to have them.“

“Yum! Go! My family just stopped in for the most delicious ice cream and charming staff! The Bourbon Truffle is outstanding! The dark chocolate, cappuccino, and prailines and cream were delicious, too. The owner and servers were friendly and engaging. 5 stars!“

“We’ve been going to Carmen since our kids were little. The ice and custard are delicious and the service is always amazing.“

“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 !“

“I love this place! I'd be a regular if we lived in DC. The banana pudding ice cream lived up to the hype, I paired it with a scoop of the cinnamon churro and that was delicious. Also, the jerk chicken empanada was phenomenal. Great prices too!“

“We have Ice cream Monday every week. It’s great to turn a bad day into Ice cream Monday!!! Staff is always great!“

“So so so good!
I was impressed with how quickly the staff managed a long line, which was almost a detriment since I was still deciding between about 6 different flavors I was considering (they do not offer samples—and probably a game changer in how quickly the staff is able to serve people).

My husband decided not to decide and got the 4-scoop flight to try a host of options he was considering.
Between his 4 and my 2 flavors, every single one was so good! The standouts though were basil (the best I’ve ever had) and a Thai peanut butter and chili (I’m not sure of the specific name but it was GOOD).

If you’re on the fence about an out-there flavor, this is probably the place where you’re safe to dive in without a sample.“

“Van Leeuwen has always been one of my favorite ice cream companies due to their limited and wholesome ingredients. Today, I tried a special flavor, ice cream cake. It was a delicious and delectable treat. I would come back for another after-dinner treat any day.

Vegetarian options: I saw over 10 vegan option!“

“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 had the smash burger and joia fries

Burger: The burger didn’t have much flavor and seeing as it’s a wagyu burger, it was a lil too rich for me.

Fries: The sauce is very mustardy and could be overwhelming for some. Overall, it was tasty.“

“Great customer service, and even better ice cream flavors! So many amazing and rich dairy free options, especially if you like unconventional flavors. My favorite is the golden milk ice cream. So yummy and never with the watery texture of some almond milk ice creams and no overpowering coconut flavor like with coconut milk ice creams. Good all around! Always make my way there when I'm in the area :)“

“You already know you’ll like the ice cream because you’ve bought the pints from the grocery store, but then you get it from here and somehow it’s even better!

Dietary restrictions: My toddler has allergies to milk and eggs, but there were vegan options for her.“

“I recently visited York Castle in Rockville and had an outstanding experience, thanks to Eduardo and Mass. They both went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. Their professionalism, knowledge, and friendly demeanor made a lasting impression. Eduardo was particularly helpful in guiding us through the exhibits, providing insightful information that enriched our visit. Mass was equally impressive, always ready to assist with a smile and ensuring we had everything we needed. Their dedication and exceptional service truly enhanced our experience. I highly recommend visiting York Castle and interacting with these two wonderful individuals. Five stars all the way!“

“I am BEWILDERED at the reasonable prices of this top shelf ice cream. Will definitely be back, I need to try every flavor! The honey lavender is to die for, and they were so patient while I deliberated all the options. Treat yourself and visit ASAP!“

“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.“

“Everything was amazing. It felt nice and cool in there. The gelato tasted very nice and had a creamy and thick texture to it. If you’re like me and love rich flavors, I recommend the dark chocolate and coffee-cookie flavored gelato. Would go here again definitely.“

“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.“

“We love Carmen's Ice, even more than Rita's. Last weekend on Jaden Day, we arrived at 8:40 pm and joined the long line with our out of town guest. We reached our turn at 9:03 and were reprimanded because they closed at 9:00. I finally mentioned that we were in line at 8:30, and she continued to rattle on and on.

Repeatedly the staff told customers, "we don't have that because we truned our oven off", even before 9:00. Poor customer service, which is unusual.

However, after dinner the next day, our guest wanted to return to get another grape with ice cream. She said the grape was the best she'd ever had. We made sure we avoided the bewitching closing time.“

“We have Ice cream Monday every week. It’s great to turn a bad day into Ice cream Monday!!! Staff is always great!“

“Solid local frozen yogurt shop. Not the widest range in flavors, and the flavors rotate so you can’t always guarantee the flavors they’ll have, but I’ve always seen and gotten the original tart flavor. The mango and taro flavors were also solid.

Nice assortment of toppings - fruits, candies, cookies, mochi, etc - all the ones you could want.

The folks working there have always been friendly. I’d highly recommend a visit!“

“This is an amazing place to eat. I'd never had Ethiopian food before, and the owner took the time to explain the menu to me. He was friendly, checked in on us as we ate, and answered all our questions. The food was superb. My wife and I shared the Ethiopian breakfast. It was flavorful, especially with the secret sauce. The chocolate milkshake was light and airy, and it was delicious! I would definitely come back here again, and I'd give this place six stars if I could!“

“Rita’s is a delicious treat. The gelati is good: frozen custard layered with Italian ice. They usually have one sugar free Italian ice on menu. Take out only. Parking lot has about 6 spots and there are a few more on street. Don’t forget to tip!“

“Wonderful gluten free options and excellent coffee and smoothies !“

“Dec2022 I enjoyed the environment experience with plants the speakers were busted though. Regarding the rolled ice cream I ate strawberry with vanilla base and graham cracker it was super yummy 9/10! You could also choose whatever toppings you have, thats a plus. Homies also drank some bobba milk teas and they enjoyed the sweetness.“

“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“

“Went there last weekend and everything I ordered was delicious, I was inundated with an abundance of delicious choices, the decor was open and family friendly and the service was impeccable“

“This place offers just awesome gelato and I am very happy to be back. Portion remain of good size, and all the flavors tried were as always awesome in texture and sweetness. Mascarpone fig, dark chocolate, passion fruit - you name it…and: apart from all the gelato flavors, they now have a lot of fruit sorbets to choose from.“

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

“love this spot - I use it mainly as a WFH space, the ambiance (+ coffee) is great!and the bald guy that works here is the man.I’d honestly hire him if I had a brick & mortar & here’s why : he’s very generous & personable with customers; he’s constantly working / cleaning / moving. Not to throw shade, but other employees will sit on their phone behind the counter when there’s a lull… not him, I’ve never seen him on his phone. Instead, he’ll organize inventory, windex the windows, deep clean .. it’s impressive.“

“Best gelato we’ve ever had in the States! Truly! This is the real deal. Highly recommend. We’ll be stalking your page with hopes that you’ll be near us again.“

“Oh the memories!! I can remember my Mom taking me for ice ream here back in the 60’s and 70’s. It was a special treat. My Mom loved their Coffee Flavored ice cream.“

“Best gelato ever!!! I want to try all of the flavors. Planning to send gelato as Christmas gifts this year!“

“My kids and I love this place. Love, love, love the banana flavor.“

“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.“

“las mangonadas en especial pero todo sta rico“

“My go-to for cookies here and in Los Angeles. The cookies make great food gifts, especially for people not from the East Coast. While the cookies themselves are delicious, they are painfully expensive.... although GIGANTIC! Prices went up recently which hurts. It is hard for me to say whether that high price is truly justified. My favorites for gifts are the traditional chocolate chip cookies, with and without nits, and the oatmeal raisin. MY personal favorites also include the new lemon cookies and the seasonal rocky road. I understand that the non-cookie items are also wonderful and can be cheaper than the cookies. I almost always also treat myself to their coffee whenever I pick up cookie-gifts. I am not a coffee afficionado, but find it really good. I highly recommend Levain and even at this current price point, will continue to buy. Sadly, I am not sure after the next hike. TRY THEM! PS - Door (Dash) Pass has a great $21 special for 4 cookies - usually my choice.“

“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.“

“I believe this is our first time visiting. It is so delicious. ????? We got the gelati. I had the island fruit ice and she had the blue raspberry ice. This has to be the best custard I have ever tasted. ? So creamy/velvety/heavenly goodness within my mouth. I had to instantly look to see if one existed within North Carolina....??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️YES. ??????????????
I could eat ANOTHER ONE‼️‼️‼️??“

“I have been going here for few years now. Quality of their service , quality of ice creams and cleanliness have always been top notch , consistent and very impressive. One of the female staff who have been there for long time and her name is Shawon . she has always been very professional and consistent with her friendliness and good customer service, even when some occasions i have seen her the only person working and she still
handled customer service very well . i was there today and had a new staff , being new i was pretty impressed her attentiveness towards me and mom . I highly recommend this location.“

“BR has my favorite Ice-cream on earth, Their Rocky Road is The Best ?. There are better Ice-cream places but BR will be special because that's where my parents would for a treat, usually Sunday nights. This place is super clean. The staff very friendly. There's not a huge selection of donuts, considering it's also a Dunkin Donuts. Great Coffee and Drinks!“

“So very happy to have a bubble tea place in my neck of the woods! Delicious!“

“I love the creative flavors at this shop and the ice cream was good! I only have it 4 stars because my ice cream was given to me and it was already soft and melting quickly. I’m not sure if there was a problem with the freezer but that was a little disappointing. I will be back to try other flavors.“

“Great gifts for all ages, good coffee, great locally-made ice cream. What more could you want?“

“Great Ice Cream ((I had chocolate-hazelnut). Great coffee too. And great service too by the Manager, Shaleeda (please excuse spelling)“

“Outstanding cuisine and service! My family and I always enjoy dining here. If you are ever in the area please do yourself a favor and stop in for a wonderful meal. You’re welcome!“

“While visiting UMD, my daughter and I wanted some ice cream and decided to try Class 520, Location is great, very close to campus. We both ordered bubble tea and ice cream , everything was awesome. Portions are large. Prices are good, service was very nice. Will definitely return.“

“Love always to go to this Rita’s! with my husband after work! specially tasting mango gelati!! ♥️“
