28 Best Ice Cream Shops near Brambleton

“I recently visited sweetFrog on the last day of school, and it turned out to be the perfect way to celebrate! As I walked in, a friendly boy, I believe named Will, welcomed me at the register with a bright smile and positive energy. His customer service skills were exceptional, as he went above and beyond to ensure everyone's satisfaction and make the toppings absolutely perfect. What impressed me the most was how he took the time to congratulate the children on their last day of school, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere. I left sweetFrog with a big smile and a delicious frozen yogurt, thanks to the outstanding service.“

“Was in the neighborhood running a not-so-fun errand and thought I deserved a treat afterward. I grabbed a hot matcha latte with oat milk to go and WOW was it delicious! Unsweetened, completely smooth, perfectly balanced flavor. I didn't try the soft serve or the delicious-looking shortbread bites *this time* but I'm already planning to return next time I am in Centreville. Seems like a nice place to sit and work or catch up with a friend. Many were there with laptops or chatting with one or two others. Very clean, minimalistic vibe inside but in a warm way. Also seems to be kid-friendly. I will return -- on that note, I wish that my neighborhood in the Union Market area of NE DC had something like this matcha tea house. Thanks to the friendly employees and quick service as well.“

I love the new cookies each week, It just ads more reason to go back!?Vegetarian options: All cookies are not made with meat, there are butter and eggs, so not for vegansDietary restrictions: There is milk, wheat, and eggs in almost all of the productsParking: Usually store front parkingKid-friendliness: It is a nice calm environment with lots of space.

“I went to the Tyson's location first a few months ago and now I'm actually at a physical store to try this place out too. Like the other location, this place specializes in Matcha. Matcha drinks, desserts, ice cream, sweets... you name it. Open entering, there are open tables on the side next to the counter where you order, a nice cute sofa section with some spots to sit at the window, and a wall of wooden tags with lots of things written on each and every one of them. There's more tables in the back for additional seating but I didn't venture that far to sit down. I decided to stop by and try something much more than the Matcha Ice Cream cone I got at the other location. So I went with the Maiko Special. It's a nice parfait with interesting toppings. Matcha and Vanilla ice cream mixed along with Matcha Chiffron, Chestnuts, and Shiratama Mochi! Overall, the ice cream mix was very satisfying, like a perfect blend of not too sweet but just right enough. The shiratama mochi was chewy but it didn't have much flavor. It's interesting texture wise but I paired it with ice cream and it was alot edible to eat. The matcha chiffron? It's a pretty good sponge cake and that when paired with everything else added an extra layer of sweet to it that the cake needed. I thought this was amazing, and I'll probably get it again. This is definitely the better location versus the one at Tysons where it's a small stand. I hope I can come back to try more of the Matcha sweets!“

“We made our first visit to Brusters tonight, completely unaware that we had arrived right at closing time. My son went to the window expecting to check out the menu and be turned away, but the attendant was incredibly kind and served us anyway. She was very gracious and patient and never once made us feel as though we were inconveniencing anyone. We will definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone. Great ice cream, but more importantly to us….exceptional service with a smile and extraordinary kindness!“

“Cookies are to die for, delicious, fresh. Too bad they don't have the tres leches perhaps it was just seasonal.. I don't know, but I know everything is delicious customer service is great, and everyone is friendly and has a great attitude.“

“Lama at Crumbl Cookies is an absolute delight! Her warm welcome and genuine enthusiasm make every visit a pleasure. Not only does she expertly guide us through the menu, but she also goes the extra mile to ensure we find the perfect treat every time. Lama’s helpfulness and welcoming nature create a truly inviting atmosphere, making each visit feel like a special occasion. Her dedication to customer satisfaction is unparalleled, and her kindness leaves a lasting impression. If you're looking for a delightful cookie experience, look no further than Lama at Crumbl Cookies!“

“Stopped by after dinner for some ice cream. It wasn't too busy, the service was quick and friendly. Ordered a single scoop of the peanut butter chocolate buckeye and it was pretty good! Didn't care for the hard Carmel swirls but it was thick and creamy. Good portion size. Plenty of outdoor seating and well lit.“

“Omgosh!! If you are just tired of basic ice-cream and need your sugar fix, well look no further GRUTO's Is here. I have been to this location several times, but what is impressive that they have introduce some fall flavors, such as pumpkin pie and caramel. Service is always amazing, they can give you a taste of the different soft serve before you commit to the a flavor of your liking; the portions are good! Please don't ever change your recipe and service!!“

“Nice Dairy Queen. Service was ok. The gentleman taking the order was nice. The girl serving the ice cream appeared annoyed. The lobby appeared clean, the floor felt greasy. The ice cream was good, what you’d expect from DQ anyway. Nothing to write home about I suppose.Parking: Plenty of parking!“

“The Ice cream tacos were both fun and delicious! Be warned that the tacos are very messy. They seemed a little under-staffed for how busy it was, so the food was a little slow to get to my friend and I, but I don't fault the staff for that. Overall I would love to go again!“

“Went with a friend to check out their afternoon tea (which you need a reservation for) and ended up having what is called Elevenses on the menu - basically a light tea. It includes a pot of tea and your choice of a tea sandwich or mini croissant and scone or macaron. Naturally, we opted for all of the above (at extra cost). The croissant and scone are served warm and so were eaten first. They were delicious but very small - just a couple of bites each. The tea sandwich was cucumber and cream cheese, which was disappointing in its lack of flavor and the dried out state of the bread. The macaron was excellent, you have a choice of anything in the case, so I chose the creme brûlée.The main dining area is upstairs and is beautifully decorated in feminine pinks and pale grey, very Bridgerton! Seating was comfortable and we were able to sit by the window with views up and down the street.Food was brought up and then we were left to relax and chat. We didn’t see a server again after that, so it’s just as well the tea pot was large.Overall, it’s an experience that I would recommend. Next time we will reserve the traditional tea and hope for tastier savories.“

“It's really hard to find frozen yogurt stores, especially with the domination of the ice cream industry, and I think it's definitely worth a trip to sweetFrog. I really like the chocolate frozen yogurt and the original tart here. I also like the coffee and cream and cookie flavors. There's a lot of toppings for frozen yogurt you can choose from, but definitely be careful of cross-contamination here, because I did have a reaction when a nut accidentally went into my frozen yogurt, and I am allergic to nuts. Some unique, great flavors here are also grape and banana, which are not commonly found in frozen yogurt shops (although it's hard to find frozen yogurt shops in general).They could also use more staffing to check for cross-contamination with toppings as this might be a concern for kids with more serious nut allergies. However, I really like the flavor profile here.Overall, highly recommend!“

“Ownership: please get better SPOONS. Invest like 3 cents more per spoon. The ones you offer customers are so weak that they bend if you try to mix your yogurt up and make it impossible. A few months ago I thought that maybe you just a good deal on spoons and made a mistake. It’s been wayyy too long. Just a few more cents per spoon please? smh“

“This place was a gem find after dinner. We all had a small cake cones with chocolate/ vanilla and the portion size was more than expected. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was clean with a nice patio outside. Would recommend and would revisit.“

“This place is relatively quiet and low key compared to other cafes, and that is as much a benefit for the consumer as it is a shame and invocation of sadness for the business; inasmuch popularity and volume of sales is not commensurate with quality, in general as well as respective other local offerings. This place is innovative, different, and unique compared to other offerings in the greater DMV area. While their desserts are good, they are not necessarily the best; especially across the board. And some flavors will be unfamiliar to Western palettes. But the products here are of superior quality (execution and ingredients) and very consistent; they have special deals; their offerings change here and there; and I cannot say there is a single subpar item on their entire menu (and they have a wide variety of types of items and flavors). "Snowflakes" are the staple, and they make it in a very innovative way with crunchy cereal at the bottom of their dishes. It's great. It's huge! It's widely varied. It's rare. It's nowhere else in the area. It's a goddamn shame you haven't had some yet. Between the green bean, red bean, tiramisu, strawberry cheesecake, and mango snowflakes, I cannot say which is my favorite. Nor can I say which is my favorite cookie, but I will say the red velvet one is lovely. Croffles are good, too, but they aren't my go-to. I wish this place continued success. My recommendation: advertise better and try to be more visible to increase business.“

“Love the frozen yogurt!!!! They have amazing toppings and a good variety of flavors! Me personally, I love the strawberry and Cotten candy flavors. SO GOOD!!Kid-friendliness: They have a chalk board for the kids and some rocking chairs outside! Inside and outside they have little small seats for the kids!!“

“Dairy Queen, the iconic haven for all things frozen, continues to be a beacon of delight for dessert enthusiasts.The menu, a symphony of delectable treats, caters to a wide range of tastes. From the classic Blizzard treats to the mouthwatering DQ Bakes snacks, Dairy Queen offers a plethora of options that never fail to hit the sweet spot. I indulged in the Oreo Blizzard, a creamy concoction that seamlessly blended velvety soft-serve with generous chunks of Oreo cookies, creating a heavenly experience for my taste buds.What sets Dairy Queen apart is not just its irresistible treats but also the consistent quality and service. The staff at this location demonstrated efficiency, friendliness, and a genuine passion for creating the perfect frozen delight. The cleanliness and vibrant ambiance of the establishment added to the overall positive experience.“

“A great little place to get your fill of dessert options and feed that sweet tooth. They have some great options here. Frozen custard, Italian ice, shakes, cookies, sundaes, coffee, espresso, and many other things to choose from. Including some of them mixed together. Like for me, my go to is the Gelatis, which is frozen custard and Italian ice layered in a cup. I especially like vanilla and watermelon. Every time I visit it's usually several young adults working there. Looks like they are always having a blast, but still take care of business when it's time to take orders and make items. I imagine based on the location, what's in the area, and the type of stuff they make/serve there, it is a fun place to work for a young person. I mean you have to imagine just about everyone walking in the place is in a great mood as they are about to get a great dessert or coffee. If for some reason you weren't in a good mood walking in the place, you certainly will have to be in a great mood walking out after tasting whatever you got. It really is more of a grab and go type place. There are a few small tables and chairs to sit at, but it's clearly not designed for sitting around and eating your desserts. But realistically, why would you? Right outside is nice seating area that is part of One Louden. Sort of a little park like area for kids to run around in and adults to sit and chill.“

“Lots of variety! Located in a relatively new shopping center next to the Dulles Convention Center. There’s not a whole lot of space to eat outside or inside, so you have to get your treats and go. Good for rewarding yourself after a hard day of shopping.“

“The cozy ambiance and attentive staff set the stage for a delightful evening. The menu offered a diverse range of dishes, each impeccably presented and bursting with flavor. From appetizers to desserts, every bite was a culinary delight. The chef's attention to detail and use of fresh, quality ingredients was evident. While it's a bit on the pricey side, the overall dining experience makes it well worth it. I highly recommend for those seeking a memorable and refined culinary adventure.“

“Arrived on an early Friday morning, it fairly busy. We placed our order of coffees, donuts and breakfast sandwiches. The order came out very quickly and we were on our way. This place was a wonderful breakfast since our hotel couldn’t follow through with a decent one. Will definitely go back if I am in the area.“

“I have been to this location several times and it's always quick and clean. The employees are polite and helpful. I recently ordered the Thanksgiving Turkey ice cream cake and it was AMAZING! Not only was it delicious, but it was perfectly made and so cute! Definitely a show stopper! I placed the order online and they called me shortly after to let me know the ice cream flavor I chose was not available. They were helpful and offered other available flavors and it was ready on time and easy to pick up. Whoever made it did such a great job! Will be sure to get another one next year if they do it again!“

“I’m willing to bet that 5T Ice is one of those local gems that you might not be checking out enough. Don’t let the name fool you - this is place is FAR more than frozen yogurt, delicious bubble teas and coffees. I’ve been during the week and ALWAYS have to get the house special Banh Mi, but on weekends it’s basically like Christmas for your mouth. They have all of these homemade Vietnamese specialties and if you can’t decide, I strongly recommend the scorched-earth approach I used and just get everything you carry out of there.“

“I, my kids had a wonderful experience at the sweetfrog store. The staff was friendly and helpful, the store was clean and inviting, and the frozen yogurt was delicious and refreshing. My kids especially liked the strawberry cheesecake flavor with fresh fruit and granola. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a sweet treat and especially after heavy lunch or dinner.Kid-friendliness: They had a variety of flavors and toppings to choose from, and Kids enjoyed creating my own custom mix and delicious toppings mix.“

“Came here last weekend with two kids; the place was relatively clean and empty when we got there. While sitting to eat our ice cream there was a constant stream of people coming in and they got pretty busy. The employees did a good job of moving people through the line.There is no public bathroom here. Makes cleaning up after a five year old difficult-haha“

“They make the BEST ice cream cakes ever!!! They have so many options & they are made so beautifully & look so realistic! You can pre-order online 24-48 hrs ahead of time which is super convenient & pick up is always quick & easy. If you're looking for a quick & cool cake without spending tons of money, check them out!“
