43 Best Ice Cream Shops near Clifton

“Always enjoy ice cream at Peterson’s!“

“This has been on my list of places to try and we were not disappointed. It's quite the drive for our family, but it is the best priced ice cream we've found and the variety of rotating hand scoop ice creams is fantastic. The flight of 4 cost 7.50, and I feel that's fair for the variety and amount of ice cream you get. The butter pecan was incredible and we also loved the cheesecake. The soft serve was generously portion for a small and my children were delighted with it. The fudge ripple was the clear winner on the soft serve front. We will definitely be returning and recommend it to everyone who's out towards Manassas.“

“We made it just as they were closing, and they were so kind to serve my friends and I. The person there said they could tell we came just for Cold Stone and it truly was the highlight of my night. I got the Strawberry one and it was delicious!!“

“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!! 🐸🍦🍨 😋“

The lady who owns this business is very friendly and knowing that we are traveling from Canada and visiting this place first time , gave us special discount. Overall a great little hidden gem. Recommended“

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

“great Service good icecream“

“Really cute place, nice selection and reasonable prices. I bought a bunch of candy before I left. Very nostalgic plus good prices on a selection of stuff. As a visiting Texan I am ashamed I did not get any of their Blue Bell. enjoyed talking to the woman about a former ex-boss who lied about being a U-2 Combat Pilot (she was at Beale with her Dad). Cool place and apparently the husband of the very nice woman next door owns it. Great people, please support them and their very well executed concepts.“

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

“Had the best birthday party at SweetFrog Market circle today! Lulu was amazing from our first communication through the end of the party. My daughter had the best time and wants to have another party here “just because”. Very clean, many flavors, lots of yummy toppings. Thank you Lulu and sweet frog staff from Gracie and family💕“

“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.“

“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 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!!!😉👍“

“las mangonadas en especial pero todo sta rico“

“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.“

“From the moment I stepped into Cold Stone, the smell of freshly baked waffle cones hit me like a warm hug. The store was clean, bright, and filled with the cheerful sound of staff singing birthday tunes and mixing ice cream creations on the signature frozen granite stone.

I ordered the “Founder’s Favorite” in a waffle bowl – a heavenly blend of sweet cream ice cream, brownie chunks, pecans, fudge, and caramel. Every bite was rich and indulgent without being overly sweet. The texture was velvety smooth, and you could tell the ingredients were top quality – the brownies were soft and gooey, not dry like you find at other places.

For my second scoop (because how could I stop at one?), I tried a custom creation: cheesecake ice cream with strawberries, graham cracker pie crust, and white chocolate chips. It was like having cheesecake in ice cream form – perfectly balanced and refreshing.

The staff were incredibly friendly and patient as I debated my mix-ins. They didn’t rush, and they made my ice cream right in front of me with a smile, even tossing in a bit of showmanship while mixing.

Coming back again..“

“Awesome place for a place to chill and relax“

“always good service. friendly people on staff. helpful and smiling faces. open pretty late so it's our go to for date nights. good variety of flavors.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“I had an amazing experience here! I visited last Sunday, there was an event at dullus expo and I walked over after. There were a decent number of customers, yet the two young women working were very efficient and maintained professional service. They were extremely friendly and helped me decide what I wanted, which was delicious too. Micaella and Ebelyn did wonderful! Im definitly going to“

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

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

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“Great quality food very friendly and professional restaurant“

“First time here and I loved it! The food brought me straight back to my Vietnamese childhood, real street food flavors like when I was young.

We ordered the hot & sour boneless claws, hot & sour crunch, rice paper salad, and saté rice paper, everything was flavorful, fresh, and so satisfying. The place is cute, clean, and cozy with a very welcoming vibe.

They even have a lucky spin, and I got 15% off my total order, which made the experience extra fun. On top of that, the cashier was a very friendly lady, which made the visit even better.

I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot if you love authentic Vietnamese street food.“

“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 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.“

“That great and the shop decorated good“

“Came here on a work trip and visited when I had some down time. There was some guy dressed like a cat but all in good fun. Cookies were a little overpriced but pretty good in my opinion. Get the banana pudding and you'll be in a food coma :) great time“

“Absolutely Delicious ice cream! Haven’t had the daiquiri ice since I was a kid.“

“Food was so good! Not too salty but very flavorful. The short rib was very tender, chowder was fresh and tasty, fried chicken was juicy and crispy, pork tenderloin was perfectly cooked. The sides were perfectly cooked as well. And service was awesome.“
