“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 😊“

“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!“

“I finally tried this amazing place today. Definitely the best place to get a latte and crepe in Maryland! I will be back!“

“That great and the shop decorated good“

“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.“

“Hands down the best soft serve ever tried. They make me hate Mc Donald’s icecream cone or any other ice cream place. Better than DQ. I have tried limited items here but everything I did try are very good. My fav is green apple soft serve on a cone. It’s my bf and I go to date spot. Love it.“

“Absolutely delicious ice cream! 🍦✨ Every bite was creamy, flavorful, and so satisfying. The texture was perfect, and the taste was even better than I expected. You can tell they put care into making it. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more flavors. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a sweet treat that won’t disappoint!“

“Just tried this for the first time and oh my goodness, delicious!! I had both savory and sweet...the coconut chimney with marshmallow fluff is crazy good!“

“Took my kiddo there last night and as soon as we tried it, we knew this is our new favorite local ice cream! Absolutely delicious, perfectly creamy and not too sweet. And then, the cherry on top: we ordered two more cups to take home to the rest of the family and we noticed that one came out with a much smaller scoop than the other. Wasn’t going to say anything about it (the scoops are very generous to begin with), but then out of nowhere a couple comes over and tells us they are going to get us an extra scoop. And within seconds, they did! We were too shocked to talk with them more but a little sleuthing online when we got home revealed they were the owners! This act of generosity and customer service made a big impact on my kiddo (and me) and cemented this place as our new favorite! Can’t wait to go back!!“

“Another great found in Manassas.
It was a warm day and we walked into this nice gelato shop. We each got different flavors. I got the blueberry and it was perfect 🥰my daughter got grape flavor, she loved it!
And hubby got chocolate.
Service was excellent.
They were friendly and very helpful.“

“The ice cream shop has many great options inside the mall. I recommend downloading their app to benefit from rewards and special offers. The place is very clean, organized, and the staff are friendly. Great spot if you want a sweet treat while shopping.“

“This place was a great experience. When I walked in I was welcomed right away and had amazing service. The gentleman that served ice cream to me let me try flavors and answered my questions I had about the ice cream. I only eat dairy free ice cream and I was amazed to have seen non-dairy cookies and cream. Would recommend the Reston Baskin Robbin’s, my experience was a 10/10!“

“Always enjoy ice cream at Peterson’s!“

“Riya Sugar Mama Ice Cream in Fairfax is such a great spot! The ice cream is delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The place has a fun and welcoming atmosphere, and the customer service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and made the experience even better.

“Me and my daughter were just getting gas and we glanced over and saw Rita’s, me and my daughter went to go check it out and his name was Dylan and he gave us wonderful costumer service. Dylan was awesome and was kind and let us try all of the flavors. Dylan was positive and welcoming, also the bathrooms and everything was very clean. Most of the bathrooms I go to are really trifling and disgusting. I am so happy we came across the Rita’s shout out to Dylan for making us feel very welcomed!“

“This place is fantastic! All of the offerings are fresh made and have nice portions. I've had the ice cream and mangonadas on a few occasions which have been excellent. The customer service is also very friendly and polite. They take great care in what they do. I highly recommend coming here for a great treat and experience!!!😉👍“

“Absolute hidden gem! If you're looking for an authentic spot to grab an amazing milk tea and satisfy your snack cravings, this is it. The boba is the perfect chewy texture, and the drinks aren't overly sweet—you can really taste the quality of the tea.“

“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.“

“Awesome place for a place to chill and relax“

“Best ice cream I ever had 😘“

“They have the very best frozen custard that I’ve had for years!“

“My husband and I were quite hungry so stopped by Freddy's in Fairfax today. The girl at the restaurant was very helpful and friendly, answering all of our questions, and helping us with modifying our sandwiches. It was all very yummy. I especially loved the tots! Oh, and we each had a turtle sundae. Yum!!!“

“What a magical place the Great Falls creamery is!!! Back in better ways! It always puts a smile on our faces. It is so much more than just an ice cream shop - it is an experience! The products are delicious, the staff is friendly and accommodating to reasonable requests. Have you tried the ice cream sandwich yet? You can customize your own! Can’t wait for the coffee and juices.“

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

“We have brownie with fudge & chocolate caramel both tastes great 👍 would like to go back again 🤪“

“I come to this location a lot and really love the cookies. The problem that I have encountered more than a couple of times is when a cookie is sold out there is no signage communicating that. So you come in, order at the kiosk, and while waiting for the order you are hit with “we are sold out! Would you like another cookie or a refund” Wouldn’t it be more efficient to write on a piece of paper that you are sold of something so that customers entering the store know? Or have it on the screen somewhere?

Update: they have finally fixed this issue and now when something is sold out it will show in the screen.“

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

“The best banana split.😋😋😋“

“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.“

“We ate on the wraparound porch and it was lovely. Our server was attentive and knew the menu well and the food was excellent I’m gluten-free and being able to have a gluten-free meatloaf was a huge treat for For me. In addition, they had a wonderful gluten-free chocolate cake, dessert it was not sorbet like everybody else tries to serve you. I would definitely recommend“

“The gelato is excellent. Full of flavour, great texture.
I tried Passion Fruit and Pistachio.

Passion fruit was very citric and Pistachio was perfect.

You can mix and match between flavours depending on seving size you chose.“

“There's so many flavors and options to choose from! There's also other desserts and popcicles to choose from too. Place is bright and clean and even has a photo op area with wings. Tried the blackberry cheese in cup and mint chip which tastes like wintergreen mint. Yum!“

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

“This was honestly the selling point for me going on a hiking walk! Such a smart idea to have an ice cream parlor at the park. Love the train in the parlor that mimics the train in the park. They have many ice cream flavors, but Superman was not the tasty Superman ice cream I know so I didn’t really enjoy that flavor.
There was a park behind the parlor which was cute for kids.
Go, enjoy!“

“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)“

“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“

“We’ve come here often over the years and are always happy with the experience. Efficient staff, clean location. Have never been disappointed with them. Only wish it was a grill and chill but will settle for the blizzards and other treats!“

“I keep forgetting CSC is there and need to be better about patronizing there. Its always a hit and always enjoy what we order. We were there for a friend's birthday after dinner treat and I ordered something off the menu 'Rocky Road' and it was perfect with mini marshmallows.

They are always friendly and the portions are big and generous. What a treasure to have in Burke.

Will definitely be back.“

“Amazing flavors and quality with great customer service… all at reasonable prices!“
