19 Best Ice Cream Shops in Alexandria

“Nearly perfect Wisconsin style frozen custard.“

“Delicious ice cream! Great venue!“

“The Ice and Custard are delicious. Wonderful selection of flavors. The store is always clean and the staff is friendly and welcoming. A great addition to our neighborhood shopping center.“

“Delicious! Interesting flavors and so good.“

“The Dairy Godmother is an Alexandria staple. Our family has been going here for years. The custard shop has a variety of sorbets, three different custard a day, bakery items, and a fabulous sparkly wand for the dairy godmother in all of us. Another great thing about the Dairy Godmother is you run into many other community members here enjoying time with family and friends. You can enjoy your ice cream in the shop, out on the benches, walking the Mount Vernon Ave. strip or across the street where you can look at the different dog murals.“

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

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

“I want to give a special shout out to Sio. She had amazing customer service from the moment I walked in to when I was heading out the door. She was very pleasant and personable. It's been YEARS since I've been to a cold stone, so it was nice to see that their customer service is still top tier.“

“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.“

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

“Very fresh and delicious ice cream! My personal favorites are White Turtle & Caramel Apple Crunch. Get your ice cream in a waffle cone or bowl!“

“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.“

“Great spot for ice cream and coffee with a laid-back vibe. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and there were plenty of unique and classic flavors to choose from. I had the mint chocolate chip and it was super creamy and delicious. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, which made it a nice place to hang out for a bit.
