36 Best Ice Cream Shops near Brambleton

“Great, quick service. Friendly staff! This is my daughters favorite place to go 💕“

“Authors is an awesome local small-batch ice cream spot with a ton of creative, unique flavors. It has a quaint, fun vibe inside and feels like the kind of neighborhood place you want to keep coming back to.

The only thing to know is that the space is pretty small, so on a hot summer day you may want to plan accordingly. That said, it is absolutely worth the stop. I loved the caramel fig ice cream — super flavorful, unique, and balanced — and they also make a mean affogato.

Great flavors, great vibe, and a fun local gem. Definitely check it out!“

“I had such a great experience at this Crumbl location! The store was spotless, service was fast, and the cookies were fresh and baked perfectly. The general manager/owner deserves special recognition — truly one of the nicest, most professional people I’ve met. She was attentive, welcoming, and clearly care about quality and customer satisfaction. This is how every business should be run. Highly recommend! Props to GM for being an amazing GIRL BOSS ! AMAZING COOKIES“

“Definitely try the Milky Way sundae“

“Very impressive selection of soft serve flavors and toppings, fusion beverages, lemonades, hot / cold brewed coffees, and other treats. Cute interior atmosphere with limited outdoor seating. Self serve kiosks allow you to browse the menu and customize your order. Everyone in our group of five was very satisfied with their orders and overall experience.“

“Genuinely the nicest ever, Merinda is a standout! a cookie I was wanting to try was sold out and she remembered and included it the next week when I ordered! She provided an immediate resolution to a problem I had over the phone also, rather than directing me to a customer support chat. I haven't been in person but I know it would be amazing from the customer service alone and I've never had a problem with cookie texture here!“

“my first trip to CRUMBL - had many a taste before but DAAAAMMMMMMNNNN! so i’m hooked. service was fantastic. ordered on line before having the app but still. love the way business is done also. ordered and told them when i was there. and they were straight up when they gave me an option for two of the flavors ordered being out but would have more in a short time. i appreciated the honesty“

“Milwaukee Frozen Custard in Chantilly offers a truly impressive frozen treat that distinguishes it from your typical ice cream shop. If you’re seeking something special in the area, it's worth the visit.

The Custard: This is where Milwaukee particularly excels. Their frozen custard has a rich, velvety texture that’s noticeably creamier than standard soft-serve ice cream. The flavor profiles are creative and well-executed; each taste feels intentional rather than random. Whether you choose a classic or their rotating specialty flavors, you’ll notice the quality of the ingredients. It’s the type of dessert that encourages you to slow down and truly savor your experience.

The staff here clearly takes pride in their work. Service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the team appears genuinely knowledgeable about their menu. They are helpful if you’re unsure and happy to offer recommendations. The atmosphere feels welcoming and casual, ideal for a quick treat or a relaxing visit.

This spot is great for families. Kids enjoy the flavors, and parents will appreciate the high quality. The relaxed vibe makes it easy to linger without feeling rushed, and there’s something on the menu for everyone. It’s the kind of place that creates those small yet memorable moments.

Thank you & God bless you and your family 😊“

“Lovely family who owned this place 👍🏾 very dedicated to their costumer ❤️ I recommend everyone to try their ice cream and food 🥘“

“Best ice cream I ever had 😘“

“Awesome place for a place to chill and relax“

“Best Matcha ice cream and other soft serve…. Yummy 🤤“

“We LOVE Brusters ice cream , but this location has been screwing up our order the past few times. The employees also aren’t as friendly as they used to be. I assume it goes hand in hand.“

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“Nice and clean! Delicious flavors of frozen yogurts and many options of toppings!“

“I recently visited Cafe Bdan in Centreville. The location is conveniently located next to Hmart. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for either a relaxed solo visit or catching up with friends.
I tried their patbingsu and vegetable crepes, and it was delicious! Additionally their coffee taste good as well.“

“Italian ice is great but customer service leaves much to be desired. Got there before the posted closing time and they were closed and cleaning. Looked at me like I was crazy when I knocked on the door to figure out what was going on.“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“Wow, talk about a great place for ice cream. It is the Choco Taco to the next level. Go now!“

“That great and the shop decorated good“

“Love the concept and product. This has been a blessing long-term having a family with certain members that are gluten and dairy free. This particular location could use a little sprucing up and the fact that they are displayed t-shirts on the wall have food stains on them is not exactly appealing. A little attention from management or owners would help greatly“

“Hands down the best Cold Stone in the DMV! The ice cream is always fresh, the mix-ins are generous, and the staff consistently provides outstanding customer service. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick treat or ordering a custom cake, the quality and attention to detail are unmatched. The store is clean, well-managed, and always delivers a great experience. If you’re looking for the perfect ice cream spot in the DMV area, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! 🍦👏“

“Las Mejores Mangonadas – Sterling, VA

If you’re ever in Sterling and craving something fresh, flavorful, and totally unique, Las Mejores Mangonadas is the spot you need to visit. This place isn’t just another ice cream and beverage shop—it’s a celebration of organic goodness.

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by vibrant colors, fresh fruit on display, and the kind of welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. Their menu is packed with refreshing drinks, creamy ice creams, and fruit combinations you won’t find anywhere else.

I ordered one of their organic juices, made with orange, lemon, honey, and other fresh, organic ingredients—it was pure sunshine in a cup. The flavors were bright, perfectly balanced, and you could taste the quality in every sip. My kid had a blast choosing from all the ice cream options (and trust me, there are plenty!).

Everything here feels thoughtful—fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and a real pride in what they serve. If you’re looking for a place that’s both refreshing and wholesome, Las Mejores Mangonadas is a must-try.“

“After dinner I was craving some delicious ice cream & my date surprised me by taking me to the cutest ice cream shop ever. I am a big fan of gelato and when I tell you this is TOP SHELF w/ a side of phenomenal customer service I mean it. The staff was super nice, they allowed me to taste different flavors before I made my decision. They also have the cutest little “I melt for you” sign to take IG worthy pictures. Will most definitely be back for more! Gracias! 😊“

“This establishment is the best place to get italian ice and custard. The service is fabulous and everyone who works is hilarious, the staff works so well together and I found some of the best service comes from Kate, Monica, Micaella, and Jesus. They need a raise or something!“

“Have been a fan of the Ashburn location for a while, and was excited to see them opening up down the street. I always thought that a chocolate malt was a pretty basic item, But tonight we were told that you do not offer them at this location? Seems wired.“

“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.“

“Creating these delicious desserts and savory beverages for our wonderful customers is my pride and joy! Please pay our new and improved Baskin-Robbins a visit and feel free to provide feedback, as we are always looking to improve!Flavors rotate in and out based on season and demand. Consequently, inventory is unfortunately beyond our control. If we don't have your flavorite in stock, however, we will be happy to provide you with samples until we find your second flavorite.We look forward to serving you!

Dietary restrictions: Any flavors that include tree nut-based allergens are in their own dipping cabinet to avoid cross contamination.“

“Rita’s is always a treat! The Italian ice is so fresh and flavorful! You can really taste the difference compared to other places. I love that they have such a wide variety of flavors, and they’re always adding fun seasonal options too. The staff here are friendly and patient, even when the line gets long. Everything is super clean and well-kept. I definitely recommend getting a Gelati (ice + custard) it’s the best of both worlds! Perfect place for a quick dessert stop, especially on a hot day.“

“Great franchise. Well... they DON'T have Coconut yogurt. 😞“

“Had my birthday here. It was just lovely. The staff took really great care of us, and the owner shares my heart for beautiful event design. We used the party room and it was stunning when we arrived! The food was amazing and all my guests enjoyed rose, tea, pastries, and cake! Would HIGHLY recommend for special occasions of all ages! You wont have to lift a finger for a stunning event!“

“Baskin Robbins is a great place in town to eat ice cream , my kids grew up on eating there, even when I was in UK I went to Baskin Robbins, love it 😍 and I recommend every one to go there 🍦🍦🍦🍦my favorite is banana split“

“Great experience, The shop was very clean, the ice cream was fresh and delicious, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Everything was well maintained, and the service was excellent. Definitely a great place to enjoy a sweet treat with the family!“

“Best DQ in the area! Good eats, nice staff, and sweet treats!“

“Good yogurt as always. The kids loved it.“

“This DD store is pretty new to the area and I wanted to check it out and visited this place yesterday. The store was clean and the donuts, bagels and other items were arranged neatly and was clearly visible to the customers. The order was taken and prepared well. There were no ice cream cakes on the freezer. Overall a good place to grab n go.“
