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!“

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

“My friends and I went to Baskin Robbins for icecream ?. My friend and I had one scoop of Pistachio Almond in a cup and our other friend got a scoop of Nutty Coconut Icecream with whipped cream on top. We enjoyed our treat a lot. The pistachio icecream is delicious and it was fun to sit outside on some Rattan Sofas and enjoy the cool weather.

Parking: Baskin-Robbins is located in a strip mall. There is plenty of parking around.“

“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.“

“They have pretty good selection of gelato hair. The pistachio gelato is pretty good and a dark chocolate vegan option is great for those who are dairy free. There's quite a large selection of chocolates here and some are plant-based as well. The chocolate is pretty good from Venchi. You can order a lot more online as well. Very busy place expect a long wait for your gelato. It gets pretty busy and chaotic in this small store“

“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.“

“Being Hungarian myself, I have to say that the owner was very polite and sweet and treated us very well, the food was excellent and she was even kind enough to warm up our chimney cake for us. Thank you so much.“

“I was happy to find this wonderful place. I ended up having a taiyaki soft-serve ice cream. I took one of the swirl options, of which I had the pistachio and yuzu white chocolate. For both the taiyaki waffle and cone filling, I believe I had ube. Ube is a purple yam that is often used in Filipino cuisine. The consistency is a bit starchy and has a vanilla-like flavor. As far as sprinkles, I had matcha tea powder, and as a topping, I had an ube wafer. As for the interior of the building, the decor was very cute, but I seriously think the bathrooms could be made to look a lot more interesting by adding cute traditional decor and mural paintings! Other than that, everything was great! The service, the decor, and the food were all splendid.“

“I had the cookie beast sundae! It was delicious and I loved all the toppings they added to it. Cookie dough ice cream with two cookies, nuts, whipped cream, cherries, and chocolate drizzle! Tasted like heaven but didn’t stand a chance in hell against me. Loved it!“

“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!!“

“Love this place! They have great flavor options (I got chocolate) and lots of topping choices. The place was very clean and had lots of indoor seating options. It was super reasonably priced- probably the cheapest frozen yogurt I’ve had in this area. It’s a bit hidden in the back courtyard but worth the find. The owner is super knowledgeable and friendly! I would highly recommend stopping at Peachwave for a treat!“

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

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

“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!“

“I really enjoy my experience every time I visit Häagen-Dazs. This ice cream place is my absolute favorite. ?Disappointed they didn't carry the vanilla Swiss Almond. ? it would be nice to see it in the kiosks and the mall stores. Not just the grocery market.“

“Nice and a friendly coffee shop in Vienna. Delicious ice cream , sandwiches and nice coffee selection.“

“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!!!“

“This coffee shop is my go-to! I come here every day and it's always a great experience. The coffee is consistantly delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting! The staff is super friendly!“

“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 !“

“- This shop located at the corner unit under the Target building
- For takeaways only and no seating inside. (There benches in front of the shop)
- Besides gelato, coffee is available here as well.
- So busy and crowded on Sunday evening.

[My experience]
- I ordered 2 scoops of Pistachio and Coffee&Cookie (both flavors are too sweet and too milky for me)
- A bit pricey with 8USD for 2 scoops.

Parking: Street parking with 1-2 hour limit or Parking lot at the Target building“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“great Service good icecream“

“This was the absolute best thing!!! I was looking at outdoor options for my daughters birthday! Came across fantasticks and they worked with me and came out to our house for an ice cream party. They were prepared and ready and all things great for an onsite birthday party! I had ice cream truck in my head but i cant even explain this awesome experience they delivered!!!! I cannot recommend them enough!!! During this weird social distancing time they made my daughters birthday and at the same time brought something fun to our neighborhood block!“

“My second visit to a Jeni's ice cream shop!! Their signature signage caught my attention while I was at happy hour.

I rarely come to this area, so I had to stop even though I already tried it before. The staff was super inviting and friendly as soon as we walked in. They let us try a couple samples. I was a little overwhelmed due to zero capacity and didn't bother to read the flavors/descriptions. I asked the employee for samples of the 2 seasonal flavors (Bay Leaf Cheesecake and Sweet Potato Marshmallow Praline). While they both tasted like pure sugar, I chose the Bay Leaf Cheesecake. I ordered the smallest size, which was the kid's scoop in a waffle cone.

Their ice cream is definitely pricey, given the area (and probably insane rent!).“

“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.“

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“It is rare to find quality gelato waffle place that is consistently great. The crepes are different, it is crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The frozen yogurt is better than sweet fr*g.
They both have sweet and savory options for crepes and cafe for coffee. It was a pleasant treat, even in the dead of winter, now that is saying something. Friendly staff too.

Dietary restrictions: Every Gelato flavor option had its own designated scoop, there also are clear allergen signs on the froyo.“

“A definite must try! Service was great! I tried a couple samples before landing on chocolate and it was silky smooth and maybe the best gelato I’ve had! My husband has an affogato and it came with a cute waffer. It was such an awesome treat!“

“We ordered mango and red bean bingsoo and they were really delicious. Mango had sweetness with a hint of tang from mango. The shavings were smooth and so creamy. Good food but lack of service. There was no interaction between customers and workers. We will be back for bingsoo.“

“The people there were just amazing. They take care of you and it just makes your experience better.

Parking: There was a lot of room for ppl

Kid-friendliness: They’re so kind, and the options are endless

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“I love to eat their icecream!“

“On a rainy dreary December day, Hamrock's Restaurant was a great gathering place for a wonderful lunch with friends! Our meals were delish - enjoyed the homemade popovers (just go and try them NOW!!), stuffed avocado, beet salad, soup of the day and more. Dessert was divine with our table sharing the chocolate and limoncello cakes. Our waiter was so friendly and helpful and can't say enough about the cozy atmosphere! Thanks for a great gathering !“

“I love this place! If no one got me, I know Mangolina does?I love any of the mango items(duh), the strawberries with condensed milk, and the horchata can be made with regular milk or almond milk! I’m Salvadoran and grew up eating some of these sweet treats but never found a good place does it justice…but mangolina does! Treat yourself to a lil sweet treat today!“

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

“They make the BEST ice cream cakes ever!!! They have so many options & they are made so beautifully & look so realistic! You can pre-order online 24-48 hrs ahead of time which is super convenient & pick up is always quick & easy. If you're looking for a quick & cool cake without spending tons of money, check them out!“

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

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

“Exciting place to stop by after lunch or dinner. Ice cream is a bit on the pricier side, and they do charge a bit for the sugar cones. However, the Chocolate Therapy and Phish Food flavors are absolutely amazing. I used to get Half Baked, but recently started to fall in love with the Chocolate Therapy. I take time to decide on my order, and the servers are always so patient and understanding with my questions.“

“Did a drive thru order and after parking to the side to check my 2 burgers, found out that both were done incorrectly. I went inside the restaurant and spoke with manager Ramon. I explained to him what had happened, and without hesitation or delay, he re-did my order and made sure it was correct. Ramon was very polite and professional. I hope he is there the next time I visit Freddy's. Thank you Ramon!“

“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!“

“Recently moved to Centreville and I am glad I checked this place out after a friend’s recommendation. It is a small, cozy space that is very well decorated. I love the variety of dessert options that the place had to offer and their location (SUPER CONVENIENT).

Ordering system: There was an option to order ahead on their website, but we decided to go into the store to order. A kiosk was available for us to quickly order what we had wanted in store.

Place: Parking is plenty as it is next to Hmart. But… sitting is limited.

Bingsoo: Offered in two different sizes (cup vs large). I ordered a large black sesame bingsoo that was perfect for four people. Overall, the bingsoo had just the right amount of sweetness and was very delicious.

Coffee: Once again, perfect amount of sweetness and very delicious! I would say, coffee is not too strong. Loved the fact that it was priced at a reasonable price.

Overall, I would visit again!“

“Wow, I asked for like a small scoop of 4 flavors, she said a small was pretty big, she wasn’t kidding. The slates caramel, vanilla, cookie dough, and vanilla literally melted all over my face and hands. I was a creamy gooey mess of milky joy. Hand made and perfectly delicious. There was no shame in walking around downtown Loudon half covered in their custard. It was a joy to lick off every finger.“

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

“Lots of variety! Located in a relatively new shopping center next to the Dulles Convention Center. There’s not a whole lot of space to eat outside or inside, so you have to get your treats and go. Good for rewarding yourself after a hard day of shopping.“
