22 Best Ice Cream Shops in Fairfax

“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 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!!“

“I went to Sugar Mama’s for the first time today. I really enjoyed the Indian flavored ice creams I’d never tried them before. I really like Chickoo but next time I want to try the pistachio and saffron ice cream! I also got butter pecan. If you’re in the area check them out the owner is so kind and you can tell she enjoys what she does.“

“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.“

“Generous portions and great place to hang out!“

“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!!!“

“If you're Vietnamese and get homesick and crave for those nostalgic street food, this shop is for you. I was shocked when I found it because I had craved for those rice paper rolls/salad for a long time and was too lazy to make them myself. It's definitely going on my list of places to return to.“

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

“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.“

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

“This is an amazing hidden gem in Fairfax. Really good prices and amazing food. Had amazing service and when we're in Fairfax this is going to be our go-to place to enjoy dinner. They have a nice wine selection and a great food selection. Lovely which is unpretentious but charming. Very much looking forward to our next visit to Hamrocks.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“I came in like 5 minutes before closing time at The cookies were fresh and really good, even though I came in around 12:55 AM on a Wednesday, just a few minutes before closing. I ordered 4 classic cookies and one ice cream cookie. Kiara, I hope I’m spelling her name correctly, was very kind and gave me an extra cookie because one of mine had split in half. It didn’t affect the taste or quality at all, but I really appreciated the gesture, especially so close to closing time.

Definitely the best Insomnia Cookies branch I’ve tried, and I would 100% recommend it.“

“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. ❣️🍦🍨🍨“

“The ice cream here is absolutely delicious! There was a little confusion at first about where to place the ice cream order since the staff was busy handling lots of to-go orders. Once I placed my order, though, everything went quickly and smoothly. Definitely worth stopping by for a sweet treat!“

“I have to say that this is my favorite coffee location for my mother and I! We always order the Dulce de Leche ice coffee, the taste is not too sweet but not too bitter! I love the location of this place although parking can be difficult to find during busy hours. Safe to say that I would definitely recommend trying their coffees and pastries!“

“I really enjoy Shake Shack at Mosaic District! I love that you can easily order online right from the restaurant, which makes everything quick and convenient.

The Shake Shack burger is definitely one of my favorites — juicy, flavorful, and delicious with the crispy crinkle-cut French fries. 🍔🍟 I also really like their chicken nuggets, which are crispy and tasty.

Overall, it’s a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Friendly staff! They actually make the ice cream right. Plenty of vatieties of ice cream flavors to choose from. You can make your own creation or choose from popular creations on the menu. They offer cakes as well and have some available for purchase. I wish we lived closer to visit more often!“

“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)“
