“Loved the flavors and service! I enjoyed the Mango, Dulce Leche, Chocolate Hazelnut since you can get multiple flavors in a lovely petal shape on a cone or in a cup. The coconut and raspberry did not work for me, but look forward to going back to try the drinks and waffles.“

“Scoops2u’s community support has brightened the lives of many people during the pandemic, including guests of St Matthews UMC grocery distribution guests in Annandale VA and just today in Alexandria at the Lincolnian Senior Residence with their providing delicious ice cream treats to those for whom an ice cream treat is a luxury when funds are limited. SCOOPS2U is THE BEST!! Thank you!!“

“LOVE the food and the atmosphere here. Great place to meet up with friends or family for a quick bite/drink.“

“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.“

“BEST ice cream in the area, from truly pasture raised cows! I drive in from outside the Beltway to stock up on quarts.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best and only genuine soft ice cream in the DMV. Love to support a local business, too.“

“The most creamy, flavorful, & smoothest ice cream! Also, awesome & fun to watch it being made :)“

“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.“

“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!“

“Last year, I went with a friend on a night in April, and even though the weather was chilly, many people were waiting in line. I enjoyed the meal with my friend and children, but it was disappointing that the chunks of frozen fruit didn't break into pieces, perhaps because it was prepared by a woman. Still, I ordered 3 types and they were all delicious.“

“love so good my favorite thing to have a little far but not a problem because there boommmm“

“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 come to this Häagen-Dazs shop all the time, and it never disappoints! The ice cream is consistently delicious—super creamy and full of flavor. What really makes this location stand out, though, is the service. Yonathan is always so friendly and welcoming. He remembers regulars like me and always takes the time to make sure everyone leaves with a smile. It’s little things like that that keep me coming back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sweet treat and great vibes!“

“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.“

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

“Where to begin... got the chance to visit Paradise Ice Cream. Great and prompt curbside pickup service. OMG the ice cream cookies are so good but the strawberry cheesecake on sugar cookie is my favorite. I wish I had taken a picture prior but there is nothing left. Can't wait to go back to try more of their homemade ice cream flavors.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 had an Ice Cream Social for my department and my colleagues were well pleased with the flavors and the personalized double scoop grab and go’s. Also big shout out to Ninfa. She was so pleasant and helpful. Really appreciated her for helping me out!“

“great Service good icecream“

“Hands down one of the friendliest and responsive customer friendly locations yet. My go to for ice cream cravings. I skipped lunch just to indulge myself on one of their signature creations.
Stop by this location before or after the movies. You won’t be disappointed. 👍“

“I just have to take a moment to share how amazing Anna was during my visit to Jeni’s Ice Cream Shop. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with the warmest smile and made me feel genuinely welcome. She was patient, friendly, and so knowledgeable about the flavors. Not only did she offer great recommendations, but she also made the whole experience so fun and memorable.

Anna’s dedication to customer service truly shines, and it’s clear she goes above and beyond to make sure every guest leaves happy. It’s rare to come across someone so attentive and kind in a busy shop. Jeni’s is so lucky to have someone like Anna representing their brand – she’s an absolute gem!

If you visit Jeni’s, I hope you get the pleasure of being helped by Anna. She made my ice cream experience one I won’t forget. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“If you’ve got a sweet tooth, Crumbl is dangerously good. The cookies are massive, soft, and served warm—basically a dessert lover’s dream. What really sets Crumbl apart is the weekly rotating menu. There’s always something new to try, from classic chocolate chip to wild, creative flavors like churro, key lime pie, or cosmic brownie. Some are hit-or-miss depending on your taste, but when they hit, they hit hard.

The presentation is also on point. The pink box feels premium, and the cookies look like they came straight out of a bakery photoshoot. They’re rich, thick, and shareable (though you might not want to share).

Only downside? They’re not cheap, and they’re definitely not “health food,” but for a treat, they’re worth every bite.

Highly recommend stopping in when a flavor catches your eye—you won’t regret it.“

“My wife and I stopped by here - had last ordered during COVID several years ago - an unhappy experience - who didn’t have challenges back then, when just staying open took hero effort?
We thought it time to check them out and went in. Unusual was what effectively was a hybrid store, serving a southwest Asian flavor influenced pallet of ice cream flavors seen first. For the uninitiated, we happily partook of the offered samples. A second freezer, and with its own board, had a good selection of standard flavors. We liked the flavors we tried, from both freezers, enough so we ordered two hand-packed quarts before we left. Still challenging to keep a business open - especially one that survives on frozen treats, through the winter. They do have a good line of ice cream, certainly on par with Baskin Robins, and they want to have happy customers. We are, and expect to return.“

“I love it here it’s like child heaven, it’s so tasty and delectable. The slushy ice creamy texture is heaven like and the toppings with it are so tasty. The atmosphere is pretty good although they don’t have many seats inside, so if it’s a cold night or day than you will most likely have to go home to eat it or you could get a seat inside if they had one open. Overall I absolutely love Sweet Frog.“

“Definitely had a bad experience at Rita's. The servers are friendly, and there are a variety of options for gelatis and italian ices, including a root beer float. I like how you get to control the flavor experience you get, and the gelati is well-thought out because you can get the custard on top, and the Italian ice on the top, getting an even experience to try the custards and Italian ices. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone in the Fairfax area.“

“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.“

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

“lunch was delicious and the Gelato was even more delicious deliciouser! 😋 sitting outside across from Kennedy Center was a plus.“

“I stepped into this delightful store, greeted by Marshe and Delisha. They transformed it into more than just another ice cream experience ; it became an inviting atmosphere. Even after learning from the Manager, Jess, that their ice cream is locally sourced, I felt a sense of pride knowing that the community supports this pillar of our town. Thank you, wonderful people for making my first visit so pleasant and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!

Pro tip, ask them where does the south begin in Virginia. Thank me later. 🙂“

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

“The ice cream here is high-quality, that is pretty rich and not super frozen. It has a low water and air content, and high milkfat. I recommend getting Founder’s Favorite or the Jamocha Almond Fudge. The service here is also nice and friendly. There’s not a lot of seating in there, and it can get really crowded at times.“

“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.“
