46 Best Ice Cream Shops near South Riding

“Awesome place for a place to chill and relax“

“It's a clean, nice location with parking in a strip shopping center. Like all DQs, they are very busy in the summer, especially after school and after dinner. They have the typical DQ selections and some limited food. Don't expect them to have the different foods advertised in the commercials on TV. They do have a foot-long chili dog. It's not the greatest, but sometimes, you just crave it.“

“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.“

“Definitely recommend going and enjoy there ice cream“

“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!!“

“Amazing place with delicious desserts!“

“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.“

“Fresas con crema aguas frescas“

“Always enjoy ice cream at Peterson’s!“

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

“Lad mejores del dmv, las recomiendo 10“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great gathering space, especially with teens. Thank you for giving us a fun space and delicious ice cream to celebrate a milestone birthday ❣️“

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

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“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!“

“"Walky Feet" (local nickname) is a great local chain. Been coming here for a decade, maybe two. Delicious custard. Especially like the chocolate and the nut flavors. Not a fan of the birthday cake/cheesecake frequency; would love these to be mixed up more. Would also love to see some new flavors: ube, red bean, black sesame. And more peanut butter combos ?

Shakes are a bit small for the price but tasty. Good-sized helpings otherwise.

Plenty of reconfigurable seating both indoors and out, so good for groups. This branch has been particularly welcoming to our geocaching group's semi-regular get-togethers; thank you for that ? Hoping the train returns someday, as it's been out of commission for I think years now.

Parking: Huge lot for the shopping center with plenty of parking, although you can't park directly in front.

Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Not an automated door but there is no step and the restrooms should be accessible“

“las mangonadas en especial pero todo sta rico“

“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!“

“I was initially hesitant to try this place due to the mixed reviews. However, after noticing the crowd outside a few times, we finally decided to give it a shot. We ordered their seasonal ones - campfire s’mores and blueberry cobbler, and both were excellent. The campfire s’mores was a delightful blend of rich flavours. I’m definitely tempted to return and explore more of their flavors.“

“Well it looked good on the outside... unfortunately they used the wrong cake from what I had asked for. Still waiting for my refund :( I live in PA. They worked with me via email and phone calls to make the perfect Minion Ice Cream cake for my daughter so we could celebrate her in VA. I just wish I could attach a picture.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I've been waiting to try this place out. It does not disappoint!

Let me mention this first off. There is no indoor seating here. You order at one window and pick up at another. There are some very nice tables outside, some with large umbrellas.

There are a LOT of flavors on the menu, along with some specialty items and a fascinating variety of edible and disposable containers. We were there realtively early in the day. While there was understandably only one server on duty and they were probably busier than anticipated for shortly after lunch on a weekday, we were able to place our order quickly and received our ice cream very shortly afterward.

The ice cream is premium in price but very rich and creamy. We shared a cup of Key Lime Pie which I found to be amazingly delicious. The cup had two very generous scoops for about $6 and it was plenty to satisfy as an after-lunch treat for both of us.

The service was great, parking very easy, and the ice cream over-the-top tasty. We'll be back.“

“I love to eat their icecream!“

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

“I recently visited sweetFrog on the last day of school, and it turned out to be the perfect way to celebrate! As I walked in, a friendly boy, I believe named Will, welcomed me at the register with a bright smile and positive energy. His customer service skills were exceptional, as he went above and beyond to ensure everyone's satisfaction and make the toppings absolutely perfect. What impressed me the most was how he took the time to congratulate the children on their last day of school, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere. I left sweetFrog with a big smile and a delicious frozen yogurt, thanks to the outstanding service.“

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

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

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This DD store is pretty new to the area and I wanted to check it out and visited this place yesterday. The store was clean and the donuts, bagels and other items were arranged neatly and was clearly visible to the customers. The order was taken and prepared well. There were no ice cream cakes on the freezer. Overall a good place to grab n go.“

“I’m willing to bet that 5T Ice is one of those local gems that you might not be checking out enough. Don’t let the name fool you - this is place is FAR more than frozen yogurt, delicious bubble teas and coffees. I’ve been during the week and ALWAYS have to get the house special Banh Mi, but on weekends it’s basically like Christmas for your mouth. They have all of these homemade Vietnamese specialties and if you can’t decide, I strongly recommend the scorched-earth approach I used and just get everything you carry out of there.“

“I adore Ben & Jerry’s as a brand and this location alone is great as well. I went here a bunch of times as a kid and even once or twice as an Adult. One time I actually came in with my Girlfriend and her sister after seeing the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, and despite being late and pretty close to closing, the person running the place was very professional and friendly. While i would never suggest coming in as late as I did because that’s kinda Rude, I definitely recommend checking this Ben & Jerry’s location out

Dietary restrictions: Your typical allergens are present when it comes to ice cream. Dairy, Peanuts, Possibly Gluten ETC so be cautious if you have food allergies. I don’t so Im good.

Kid-friendliness: It’s Icecream… kids love icecream of course it’s kid friendly. My dad took me here when I was a kid.“

“Absolutely Delicious ice cream! Haven’t had the daiquiri ice since I was a kid.“

“Excellent young lady working, great come and service“
