46 Best Ice Cream Shops near Burke

“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.“

“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.“

“Yummy ice cream (try the blizzard) and great service!“

“Came here on a Thursday afternoon, greeted by a friendly employee, Liliana. I had the pistachio gelato with caramel and chocolate on the bottom. The flavor reminds me of some of the gelato I’ve had in Italy. Thanks for the amazing service, enthusiasm, and flavor. 😊 (it’s hard to find good pistachio gelato in this area)“

“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.“

“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.“

“My children and I had a great experience today. The owner gave us a tour of her store. My children were fascinated to learn more about what they love to eat 😋. All the staff at this store are great, friendly and make you feel happy in a warming place. Excellent service and very very clean place!! I hope other stores do this to make our children experience new things. Thank you so much to the owner, manager and the rest off the staff for your hard work everyday!! 🐸🍦🍨 😋“

“I know for the same price I can get my own pint of Haagen Dazs. But it’s one of the few treats I really let myself indulge in. I come here after a big accomplishment at work or need a pick-me-up. I get the chocolate cone with sprinkled peanuts and two scoops of coffee ice-cream - and it’s the best. Nothing hits the spot quite like it. Staff are super friendly. From time to time I may try another flavor. The coffee chip is good too. But I usually revert back. Moments of happiness seem priceless.“

“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.“

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

“this is the best ice cream in the area with their flavor of the day, you can enjoy something new each time you visit“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Definitely going back definitely“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“great Service good icecream“

“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!!!“

“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!“

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

“Delicious custard. We love the flavors and all the special treats. We also love how supportive this small business is of their local community. ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Haagen-Dazs is probably one of the most expensive ice cream places that I have been to, almost $8-$9 after tax. However, what makes them stand out from other ice cream stores is that they don’t use artificial ingredients, and their ice cream is a bit bold and dense compared to other ice cream brands. I really like their Belgian chocolate, because of the creaminess, richness of the chocolate.

I would say the service is great even though there is usually a big crowd waiting for their ice cream, especially when it gets closer to closing time. However, regarding the atmosphere, it feels a little cramped to be eating ice cream, especially with such limited seating. The staff aren’t the friendliest and gave a bit of an attitude when I asked about nuts, with no clear answer, but it panned out because the ice cream actually didn’t have nuts.

Vegetarian options: Not clear on vegan options.

Kid-friendliness: could make more profits if they started selling kids’ sizes.“

“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. 🙂“

“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.“

“Well prepared to your order. first time having shaved ice cream. staff courtesy and attentive to detail“

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

Dietary restrictions: You choose what to get and the app has all ingredients

Parking: Lots of spots

Kid-friendliness: Bright colors

“The staff is very friendly here as well as patient as you select for multiple flavors of ice cream. They made me an incredible looking banana split for me! ���“

“We just stopped here while we’re checking into our Airbnb and I wanted to get some hot chocolate. We ended up getting ice cream and it was the cutest small business! Great service, classic flavors, and you were able to just bring it outside and sit and enjoy the view of Mill St. while enjoying ice cream.“

“Wow. Haven’t been to a SweetFrog in years. Kids had a gift card so we came here after dinner. The place is very clean and the frozen yogurt was really good! The toppings bar was so clean and organized you’d swear they just opened. Highly recommended and will be coming back soon!“

“Very popular lake on nice days with plenty of activities for families from fishing to hiking the trail, and Frisbee golf! The lake was designed for fisherman in mind so to be on the water with your own personal craft you are supposed to be actively fishing according to the regs, but they don't tend to enforce it anymore. I usually fish from my Kayak, but there are plenty of shore access places as well. Because of that this place is heavily fished, but if you have patience you can hook some big fish or spend a day with children catching numerous pan fish.“

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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!“

“I use to work at this Baskin Robbins and I was fairly happy working there for the time being. Customer service was one of the things that I remember was crucially important. The one favorite shake I get when I go to Baskin Robbins, use to be a promotional drink and they still make promotional stuff if you remember how it was made. The shake I get, is an Oreo Shake, with hot fudge on the bottom of the cup, and oreo crumbles in the shake. It's smooth, a little chewy from the oreo crumbles being blended in with the shake, and the hot fudge on the bottom of the drink adds a different temperature and flavor that meshes well with the oreo shake.

Kid-friendliness: Really great place. I see kids and families come to Baskin Robbins almost all the time.“

“friendly service... and tasty icecream sundays.“

“5 stars!

Stopped by Sweet Frog today and not only was the froyo amazing, but the service was even better. The young man working behind the counter was freaky, quick, and clearly knew what he was doing. Bonus points—he’s seriously attractive, which definitely made my day. Great customer service and a great smile? I’ll be back!“

“love the desserts options..& the staff are as sweet as those sweet Gelatos 😋 ❤“
