50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Fairfax Station

“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)“

“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.“

“We heard of Terra’s from a friend and literally drove 1.5 hours to try it out. The waffle cones were incredible! Our family tried many flavors of the ice cream and every single one was delicious! I’m already trying to think of an excuse to drive that far again! 😉“

“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!!“

“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 location has some of the best customer service. Kristina is such a kind employee. Even when the store is busy, she will take the time to greet me and ask me about my day as I place my order. She is a primary reason why I enjoy this particular location and honestly why I’m leaving this review. Ice cream here is great too!“

“Sweet Frog is a fun place for a sweet treat with a great selection of soft-serve flavors and plenty of topping options to customize your dessert. The quality and variety are good, but it can get a little pricey, especially if you’re building a larger cup. Overall, it’s a tasty option when you’re craving frozen yogurt and want lots of choices.“

“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.“

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

“Ice cream jubilee just earned a loyal customer Me and my son came in this evening to have some wonderful ice cream and some great wonderful service deleesha I think that was her name seemed a little over worked because she had a long line of people, but she was wonderful and helped us decide our perfect flavors Will definitely be back soon and will be telling everybody about the location is a perfect location as well“

“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.“

“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!“

“great Service good icecream“

“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!“

“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💕“

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

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

“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.“

“I recently visited Emily's Snow Cones & Fruit located at 7708 Backlick Rd in Springfield, VA and had a fantastic experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm and friendly smiles from the staff.Firstly, the variety of flavors offered at Emily's Snow Cones & Fruit was truly impressive. They had an extensive menu that catered to all tastes and preferences. Whether you're a fan of classic flavors like cherry and blue raspberry or prefer more exotic options like mango or cotton candy, there is something for everyone here.The quality of the snow cones was exceptional. They were perfectly shaved, resulting in a fluffy and refreshing treat that was incredibly satisfying on a hot summer day. Each cone was generously topped with a flavorful syrup that added just the right amount of sweetness.What made my visit even more enjoyable was the beautiful outdoor seating area. It was clean, well-maintained, and provided a comfortable space to sit and enjoy my snow cone. The colorful umbrellas and vibrant decor added a fun and lively atmosphere to the overall experience.Lastly, I cannot praise the staff enough for their exceptional customer service. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that my visit was pleasant. The staff members were eager to offer recommendations based on my flavor preferences and made sure that I had everything I needed.Overall, my visit to Emily's Snow Cones & Fruit was outstanding. The wide array of flavors, high-quality snow cones, inviting outdoor seating area, and exceptional customer service make this place a must-visit for anyone craving a refreshing treat. I highly recommend stopping by and experiencing the deliciousness for yourself!“

“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..“
