“Generous portions and great place to hang out!“

“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.“

“Though I've lived in Fairfax many years, I'd never stopped in here before. Apparently it's under new ownership, and it was great! My friends and I felt really welcomed, and the ice cream was tasty! They have all the classic flavors, plus some more exotic ones: my crew loved the Tutti Frutti and Gulab Jamun.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Took the entire family to Freddy's to get for the July lunch and noticed it would make a great vantage point to come back at night to watch fireworks. So we had a great time they are there's great food for young people in older lake The kids loved it but the star of the show was coming back later last night to watch the fireworks being launched from Fairfax high School by Fairfax City for their annual fireworks display. The parade was rained out and we feared the fireworks would be as well but they weren't a place was packed the streets were packed every place was packed but if we're nothing else check Freddy's out for the most epic spot to watch fireworks from. Everybody had a spectacular time and don't forget they're frozen custard is legit 10 out of 10 will go again next year and many times to eat there before then.“

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

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

“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.“

“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. ❣️🍦🍨🍨“
