50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Reston

“Had a pleasant experience at the Ice Cream Jubilee in Reston location. Art assisted us with our order and he also asked if we wanted to get a picture with their polaroid! And then our picture made it to the Jubilee’s wall, it’s a fun way to engage with the community!“

“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!“

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

“This long awaited ice cream shop is finally here! Our family went yesterday for the first time. Staff was welcoming and helpful explaining the choices. Custard was smooth and rich and everything we had hoped for. Love that every day there is a new flavor of the day. Chocolate peanut butter flavor was OUTSTANDING!“

“This is the classic RTC spot. A go-to for afterschool treats every year starting second grade. The cardamom flavor rocks… There’s almost no reason to go to RTC anymore post-covid and paid parking, but Pitango has stuck around, outlasting Red Velvet, Busara, Big Bowl, Mon Ami Gabi, and even Clyde’s… once it closes I may never return. It’s criminal what Boston Properties has done to Reston Town Center, which for me was more than the center of Reston, it was the center of the world, nay, the universe. Even Pitango’s long-time neighbor The Counter has disappeared. I fear RTC’s Pitango may not be long for this world, would like to return sometime soon. Vintage photos attached“

“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“

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

“Amazing gelato experience!

The waffle tasted incredibly fresh, and the pistachio kunafa flavor had the perfect crunch without being overly sweet—really well balanced. The hazelnut ice cream was rich and delicious as well.

Portion-wise, I do feel the second scoop could be slightly more generous for the price, but the quality definitely makes up for it.

I usually can’t finish desserts, but this one was so good I ate the entire thing. Would absolutely come back again!“

“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!!“

“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! 😉“

“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.“

“Visited Amorino Gelato Naturale at Tyson’s Mall and had a great experience. The gelato was rich, smooth, and clearly made with quality ingredients, each flavor tasted authentic and well balanced. What really stood out, though, was the service. Diana was exceptionally friendly, patient, and attentive, taking the time to explain flavors and make thoughtful recommendations. Her warm attitude made the visit even more enjoyable. Definitely a place I’d return to for both the gelato and the service.“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

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

“I’ve been here twice in the past week, and both times the customer service was absolutely exceptional. On my first visit, a staff member (I wish I could remember his name!) was incredibly helpful. I had no idea it was a Martha Stewart collaboration, and he patiently walked us through all our options for the order we selected.
When I went in last night, the manager was there, and she was phenomenal! She had such an incredible vibe and exuded so much positive energy that I knew I had to leave a review. As for the cookies themselves—they were delicious! I typically prefer a thinner cookie, and these were absolutely perfect!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“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.“

“great Service good icecream“

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

“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.“

“Sugar Mama Ice Cream, Fairfax, Virginia stands out for both quality and consistency. Great ice cream, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. The pretty lady staff is friendly, polite, attentive and helpful. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The place is definitely worth a visit and a great spot when you're craving good ice cream and for a quality treat. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates really good ice cream. Will be back for sure and worth visiting again and again.“

“A group of geocachers met there for a holiday event. The serviceceas fast and friendly. The food was cold and refreshing. I had the flavor of the day custard which was peppermint marshmallow. It was creamy and the peppermint offset the sweetness of the marshmallow. Others seemed to enjoy their orders asc well.
The restaurant and the restrooms were clean. The manager came over to our table to check on us personally.
I have been here before and will return.“

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“Order 6 cookies for delivery and one of the cookies I recieved was wrong, got the pink cookie instead of chocolate chip. Not that big of a deal except the chocolate chip is the only one of my family member will eat. Also every time I ask this location to add a special note it never gets done. Tried contacting support, but it didnt work. Next time I guess ill save the extra $5 delivery fee and go in myself so I can verify I got what I paid for.“

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

“I love to eat their icecream!“

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

“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.“

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“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.“

“A friend and I had an excellent lunch at Hamrock's. We shared an appetizer of deviled eggs, which were the best I have ever had. We had the chicken salad, which was delicious, and limoncello cake-to die for. Oh yes, the popovers and small round rolls were also tasty. I would be happy to repeat the experience any time. Parking at the restaurant is a bit of a problem, but there is additional parking across the street.“

“Came here on a work trip and visited when I had some down time. There was some guy dressed like a cat but all in good fun. Cookies were a little overpriced but pretty good in my opinion. Get the banana pudding and you'll be in a food coma :) great time“

“That great and the shop decorated good“

“First time here and I loved it! The food brought me straight back to my Vietnamese childhood, real street food flavors like when I was young.

We ordered the hot & sour boneless claws, hot & sour crunch, rice paper salad, and saté rice paper, everything was flavorful, fresh, and so satisfying. The place is cute, clean, and cozy with a very welcoming vibe.

They even have a lucky spin, and I got 15% off my total order, which made the experience extra fun. On top of that, the cashier was a very friendly lady, which made the visit even better.

I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot if you love authentic Vietnamese street food.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

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

“First time here it was recommended to me by my Uber passenger Muhammad, so I came in and had their hot dog and onion rings the hot dog had great snacks onion rings for nice and crunchy with lots of flavor I do recommend the Freddy's fry sauce“

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

“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.“

“Nice place, good and fresh yogurt ice cream, love the music and Mangonadas 😋“

“I had such a great experience at Ben & Jerry’s thanks to Nigel! I was being super indecisive, I must’ve changed my mind at least five times 😂 but he was so patient and made me laugh it off instead of feeling awkward. He had such a great attitude and genuinely made the whole experience fun.

The ice cream was amazing (as always), but Nigel’s customer service really stood out. You can tell he enjoys what he does and cares about making people’s day a little brighter. 5 stars all the way thanks, Nigel! 🍦👏“
