50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Reston

“This place is great. Assuming all Pitangos are great but only been to this one. Their gelato is amazing and they have affogatos! The manager (Cindy) also makes some of the ice cream and is always willing to share opinions if you ask, is super friendly, and just good at her job!“

“My husband worked at a Baskin Robbin’s as a teen in San Joaquin Valley in California decades ago. He loves coming to this store in Reston, it brings back fond memories of ice cream on a hot summer day. This store is small but has a nice variety and the servers are always helpful.“

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

“Kids love it,they get to make their own and that makes it special to them.“

“Really good cookies and they taste so freshhhhh mhhh

Dietary restrictions: If your lactose intolerant I don't think this is for you

Kid-friendliness: Kids can eat it and there's nothing inside that only adults can have“

“I had such a great experience thanks to Liz. She welcomed us warmly patiently guided us through the different chocolates, and she offered generous samples. Professionalism and kindness made our visit special. I found my preferred chocolates no sugar added(:“

“Loved the flavors and service! I enjoyed the Mango, Dulce Leche, Chocolate Hazelnut since you can get multiple flavors in a lovely petal shape on a cone or in a cup. The coconut and raspberry did not work for me, but look forward to going back to try the drinks and waffles.“

“LOVE the food and the atmosphere here. Great place to meet up with friends or family for a quick bite/drink.“

“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!“

“I want to thank Lama, the manager of the Crumbl Chantilly, she was very kind and thoughtful and my kids are so delighted to know that there is 6 cookies 🍪 waiting for them! Thank you again Lama, for handling the service the way you do, my family really appreciates that, and also your cookies are awesome!“

“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!!“

“I know for the same price I can get my own pint of Haagen Dazs. But it’s one of the few treats I really let myself indulge in. I come here after a big accomplishment at work or need a pick-me-up. I get the chocolate cone with sprinkled peanuts and two scoops of coffee ice-cream - and it’s the best. Nothing hits the spot quite like it. Staff are super friendly. From time to time I may try another flavor. The coffee chip is good too. But I usually revert back. Moments of happiness seem priceless.“

“Best and only genuine soft ice cream in the DMV. Love to support a local business, too.“

“What a magical place the Great Falls creamery is!!! Back in better ways! It always puts a smile on our faces. It is so much more than just an ice cream shop - it is an experience! The products are delicious, the staff is friendly and accommodating to reasonable requests. Have you tried the ice cream sandwich yet? You can customize your own! Can’t wait for the coffee and juices.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“We went to get ube unfortunately they ran out, we tried the green tea instead. Good choice it’s delicious. I will come back for ube next time.“

“Love this place. It's definitely not a healthy place for a diabetic (me 😅), but they have interesting flavors, great portions (order the Small; the Large is a lot, tbh) and are pretty affordable.

The power seems to go out a lot in the summer, but that's not their fault.“

“Amazing cookies!! Iced oatmeal is KING!!

Edit- from 5 stars to 2. As it is with most new places, over time this location has gone down in customer service. Barely a hello or nothing at all when you walk in, almost like they are irritated you are there. The cookies are nasty and undercooked as of late.“

“I just have to take a moment to share how amazing Anna was during my visit to Jeni’s Ice Cream Shop. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with the warmest smile and made me feel genuinely welcome. She was patient, friendly, and so knowledgeable about the flavors. Not only did she offer great recommendations, but she also made the whole experience so fun and memorable.

Anna’s dedication to customer service truly shines, and it’s clear she goes above and beyond to make sure every guest leaves happy. It’s rare to come across someone so attentive and kind in a busy shop. Jeni’s is so lucky to have someone like Anna representing their brand – she’s an absolute gem!

If you visit Jeni’s, I hope you get the pleasure of being helped by Anna. She made my ice cream experience one I won’t forget. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“great Service good icecream“

“My wife and I stopped by here - had last ordered during COVID several years ago - an unhappy experience - who didn’t have challenges back then, when just staying open took hero effort?
We thought it time to check them out and went in. Unusual was what effectively was a hybrid store, serving a southwest Asian flavor influenced pallet of ice cream flavors seen first. For the uninitiated, we happily partook of the offered samples. A second freezer, and with its own board, had a good selection of standard flavors. We liked the flavors we tried, from both freezers, enough so we ordered two hand-packed quarts before we left. Still challenging to keep a business open - especially one that survives on frozen treats, through the winter. They do have a good line of ice cream, certainly on par with Baskin Robins, and they want to have happy customers. We are, and expect to return.“

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

“I love Crumbl their cookies always surprise me

“I am currently in Dallas Texas and I just wanted to give an amazing shoutout Cam/kimo I forgot what his name was but he took his time with everything couldn’t believe the guy was working in that cold weather . Soon as I walked in he gave me a warm welcome greeting and made me feel comfortable in the establishment ….. He ran down the menu and helped me pick out my choices as me being a first time, customer Keep up the good work . Keep up the good work , this customer will be back again !“

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“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.“

“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! 😊“

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

“That great and the shop decorated good“

“I love to eat their icecream!“

“This is by far the best meal I’ve had in the DMV area!! The restaurant is a cute, intimate spot that makes you feel like you’re a guest at someone’s home. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Our meal was heavenly, I got the panko breaded chicken with angel hair (I typically order seafood out and this exceeded my expectations by a mile). My boyfriend got the strip steak which was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The green beans with it were even amazing! We didn’t have room, but we got the white chocolate apple bread pudding because it sounded too good…was as great as the rest of the meal! This will definitely be our new go to spot and it was extremely affordable! I couldn’t believe the menu prices and more so now that I know the amazing quality this spot offers!! Can’t wait to try brunch!“

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

“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“

“The best banana pudding milkshake out of any place we've been to, and it's not even close. The California burger was amazing and perfectly made. This is a must-try place, especially if you've never been before! It was our first time, and we absolutely loved it! The only issue was the size of the fries; they are on the smaller side, but that did not affect the taste. We just wished they were bigger.“

“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. ❣️🍦🍨🍨“

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

“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!“

“Their snow cones are very good. The service is super friendly & professional“

“Ben and Jerry's Vienna shop did catering for a big family party (75 people). It was a breeze to do the ordering and arrangements with Kyle. The friendly servers showed up, set up, served, cleaned up, all as expected without me getting distracted to supervise, so I could enjoy my guests. And everybody loves ice cream!. Highly recommend.“

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

“The employees there are THE BEST!

Today was the snow blizzard, and they were the only shop in Mosaic open at 7am (I don'tknow what time they opened), at least that's what I saw. Greeted me with a warm smile.

While many people were snuggling at home, these amazing people were there even though the roads were very bad and beautiful snow everywhere.

And, it seemed that they weren't angry or even bothered for being at work during such bad weather. They were at work providing a warm smile with a delicious hot coffee and treating me as if I was a long-time friend!

One of the employees told me she had been out enjoying the snow and then went to work. I am so proud to meet people like her. She knows how to enjoy life while maintaining her high work ethics. PURELY AMAZING!

To all the employees... YOU ROCK!“

“I love Sweet Leaf Vienna! I recently ordered a large order for a work lunch and everyone was happy with their food. Lots of delicious and healthy choices, including salads, sandwiches, and grain bowls- something for everyone. Their frozen yogurt and fruit smoothies hit the spot on a hot day. Flor was very helpful and kind. Already looking at the menu for my next time here!“

“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.“

“Haagen-Dazs is probably one of the most expensive ice cream places that I have been to, almost $8-$9 after tax. However, what makes them stand out from other ice cream stores is that they don’t use artificial ingredients, and their ice cream is a bit bold and dense compared to other ice cream brands. I really like their Belgian chocolate, because of the creaminess, richness of the chocolate.

I would say the service is great even though there is usually a big crowd waiting for their ice cream, especially when it gets closer to closing time. However, regarding the atmosphere, it feels a little cramped to be eating ice cream, especially with such limited seating. The staff aren’t the friendliest and gave a bit of an attitude when I asked about nuts, with no clear answer, but it panned out because the ice cream actually didn’t have nuts.

Vegetarian options: Not clear on vegan options.

Kid-friendliness: could make more profits if they started selling kids’ sizes.“

“Baskin-Robbins was great. We've been here a few times before. Last night was a great experience. The two people working were very friendly and helpful. The ice cream was amazing! I had a Brownie Sundae that was one of the best, if not the best I've ever had. We sat in the car to eat because it is still too cold outside, but there were clean tables inside and out. I will definitely be back here soon! Thanks!

Parking: Parking was easy. There are a dozen or more spaces. We had no problems and have been here when it was busy without problems too.“
