“I doordash from here atleast once a week and it’s always really good but on January 22nd 2026 around 6:45 the best ice cream I have ever had was delivered to me. It had the perfect consistency and the perfect amount of chocolate brownie mixed in. This was so unexpected and I considered driving to the store to give the creator my life savings. I am saving the last bit of it in my freezer for when I need it the most. Coldstone, you outdid yourself again.“

“A nice little nostalgic throwback run by very nice people. I’m always pleasantly surprised that this little stand is still here. For those who have never had Dippin’ Dots before, it’s icecream that is flash Frozen, causing it to form into little beads, which on its own is a cute novelty, but it’s also reasonably decent icecream when you go past that. I fully recommend checking this out if you’ve been curious and don’t feel like going all the way to the zoo or a Theme Park just to try it. Often Imitated but never truly duplicated, Dippin’ Dots is definitely worth a try.“

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

“Our first time at Chip City in Shirlington was such a great experience! Angelica and Hammaad were both absolutely amazing and made our first visit so memorable. They were so welcoming, friendly, and helpful, which made the experience even better!

Thank you, Angelica and Hammaad, for making our first visit such a wonderful one. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I went just for Carvel and stood outside of the window, for a while, before someone asked for my order.

There is no indoor seating but, thankfully, the outdoor patio is covered & it looks very nice...so you can absolutely go there on a rainy, or snowy day but I prefer not to sit outside, in the cold.

It's hard to park, here...the driveway to the parkinglot is very slim...I parked next door.“
