Ice Cream Shops near Dulles

“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.“

“Cold Stone’s Dubai chocolate ice cream is an absolute delight! From the first bite, you're greeted with a rich, decadent chocolate flavor that's both satisfying and indulgent. The creamy texture is perfectly smooth, and the mix-ins are always fresh and delicious, every spoon literally felt like a treat!“

“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!“

“I'm a huge fan of this family owned ice cream and coffee shop. They have excellent customer service with friendly staff that remember your order. Variety of refreshing ice cream flavors that they make in house (mango is my personal favorite). Family friendly and a great vibe overall.“

“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!“

“Three words: VEGAN ICE CREAM!!!! Their Australian style vegan vanilla blended with frozen fruit (I get strawberries) is LIFE GIVING 🤌🏼bonus perk they are open late so that late night craving is always satisfied 🙂‍↕“

“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“

“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!!“

“We love coldspoon! It is our neighborhood coffee shop- everyone is so friendly and the quality is great. The fig and seed yogurt is our go to order.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.

If you’re looking for a good dessert or ice cream spot in Fairfax, I definitely recommend checking out Riya Sugar Mama Ice Cream. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Generous portions and great place to hang out!“

“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 😊“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 🤤“

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

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

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

“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“

“John, the owner of Baskin-Robbins, goes above and beyond. When they were out of the flavor we requested for our holiday ice cream cake, he put in so much effort to contacting us, making a custom flavor for us, and making sure we were able to get our order in time for the holiday, even with special hours. The communication was excellent, and all of the ice cream and cakes on display looked so good!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“That great and the shop decorated good“

“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.“

“Best place to go too if you’re ever craving something sweet! I definitely recommend people to come here! Everything was super fresh, and incredibly delicious. Service was surprisingly fast, and the staff was so warm and helpful. Perfect spot to treat yourself or bring the family for a fun indulgence. Five stars!“

“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)“

“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.“

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

“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! 🍦👏“

“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!“

“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!“

“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! 😊“

“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.“

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

“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“

“They have so many flavor options, ice cream cakes and packaged ice cream available. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Baskin and I really enjoyed sampling some different flavors and admiring the beautiful ice cream cakes.

This store was extremely clean and well kept and I appreciate that they ensure that your ice cream isn’t contaminated with remnants from previous customers order.“

“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!“

“The ice cream is good. The staff is so nice & patient with everyone they encounter. The vibe is fun with the music and the excitement of little kids & adults alike ordering their ice cream is so cute. It's exactly like your usual ice cream shop except they have wood spoons & bio degradable napkins. This is a favorite of mine. ❣️🍦🍨🍨“
