50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Annandale

“We love Snocream now back at the Hawaiian bbq in same shopping center where the block was“

“The kids play area is great. They have life size versions of Tetris blocks and Connect Four as well as a chalkboard. I wish they had the Taro flavor, though! I tried it at another Sweet Frog close by and it was delicious; I was disappointed this one didn’t have it.“

“Nice place, good and fresh yogurt ice cream, love the music and Mangonadas 😋“

“Amazing gelato experience!

The waffle tasted incredibly fresh, and the pistachio kunafa flavor had the perfect crunch without being overly sweet—really well balanced. The hazelnut ice cream was rich and delicious as well.

Portion-wise, I do feel the second scoop could be slightly more generous for the price, but the quality definitely makes up for it.

I usually can’t finish desserts, but this one was so good I ate the entire thing. Would absolutely come back again!“

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

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Nearly perfect Wisconsin style frozen custard.“

“Loved the variety of flavors and toppings! Family and kid friendly it was very delicious“

“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.“

“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.“

“We heard of Terra’s from a friend and literally drove 1.5 hours to try it out. The waffle cones were incredible! Our family tried many flavors of the ice cream and every single one was delicious! I’m already trying to think of an excuse to drive that far again! 😉“

“We made it just as they were closing, and they were so kind to serve my friends and I. The person there said they could tell we came just for Cold Stone and it truly was the highlight of my night. I got the Strawberry one and it was delicious!!“

“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“

“Delicious! Interesting flavors and so good.“

“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.“

“Visited Amorino Gelato Naturale at Tyson’s Mall and had a great experience. The gelato was rich, smooth, and clearly made with quality ingredients, each flavor tasted authentic and well balanced. What really stood out, though, was the service. Diana was exceptionally friendly, patient, and attentive, taking the time to explain flavors and make thoughtful recommendations. Her warm attitude made the visit even more enjoyable. Definitely a place I’d return to for both the gelato and the service.“

“The worker greeted me with a big smile and let me try samples before ordering.
They mixed my ice cream perfectly and even added extra toppings without me asking.
The service was fast, friendly, and made the whole visit enjoyable.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Generous portions and great place to hang out!“

It’s a perfect spot to treat yourself while strolling around Georgetown. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re craving something sweet and indulgent“

“The ice cream is fantastic with a lot of interesting and newer options. The waiter is very nice and helpful. The atmosphere is very fun and colorful. The bathroom is big and clean. There's not much they could do to be better in any aspect. They could add a handicap button to the door but that's true of most places.“

“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!“

“Erick from the Chantilly location did a fricken great job. Down to earth. Knowledgeable. Professional. The food was fresh and delicious. Very different than just a traditional ice cream joint. Thank you!!!“

“This location has some of the best customer service. Kristina is such a kind employee. Even when the store is busy, she will take the time to greet me and ask me about my day as I place my order. She is a primary reason why I enjoy this particular location and honestly why I’m leaving this review. Ice cream here is great too!“

“Marcein at Jeni’s made our visit absolutely memorable. They explained the flavors with so much enthusiasm and care, making it easy (and fun) to choose. Their bubbly personality and genuine happiness created such a welcoming experience—it felt like more than just getting ice cream. Exceptional service like this truly makes a difference. Thank you, Marcein!“

“I really enjoyed the fro-yo at this place! The service was great, especially from this worker named Terri, who helped me get what I wanted and explained things to me very clearly and was super nice. I will visit more often, I recommend this spot to everyone.“

“Date of Visit: Thursday Aug 24th, 2023 Good portions for their ice cream. There were many flavours available. A lot of them had chocolate base/ content. I am not a fan of chocolate and vice versa. I ended up getting pralines and Cream which is my default flavour in these situations. The service was very friendly and helpful. The shop is located right across from the waterfront park – which makes it a great place to enjoy your ice cream. The prices are a bit steep but the volume is high, so I guess it is worth it.“

“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.“

“Every so often there’s a key lime cookie. That cookie is delicious— I’m hooked!“

“While in Georgetown…was in a craving for something sweet and cold. We came upon this delicious ice cream shop and saw this summer flavor of Mango Strawberry Smoothie. When I took a sip of it the flavor was so smoothie with the vanilla ice cream blended with the two flavors. I also have to admit the price was nice and for joining their loyalty program I received 20% off my first order and also a coupon for a mother small ice cream scoop for free. Definitely a summer treat !!!!!“

“My child has celiac disease and the woman working today with glasses took very good care of her. They were able to provide me with the allergy list and willing to get a clean scoop and ice cream from the back. I took off one star because the other person working was super rude to multiple customers. We had her initially, but after handing us the allergy sheet we got moved over to the other woman (thankfully). This person was acting like the customers were straight up idiots. Telling them, in a nasty tone, where the line started when honestly there was no clear line at all. They were either having a bad day or really shouldn’t be at a job where they have to interact with other humans. Yes, I’m sure it can be frustrating, but you can nicely say the line actually starts over here.“

“Excellence everything a great environment, very friendly,“
