“Ruben was amazing at recommending and sharing his knowledge about the flavors here! We had gotten the macarons and ate them immediately, blueberry cheesecake and vanilla— they were great.

“Have you been to the new Coldstone Creamery that opened this summer in Fair City Mall (corner of Main Street and Pickett)?? WOW!! It is fantastic. So many delicious flavors and combinations to choose from! The manager and his staff are extremely nice too. I highly recommend that you check it out. Definitely better than your average ice cream place!“

“BEST ice cream in the area, from truly pasture raised cows! I drive in from outside the Beltway to stock up on quarts.“

SCOOPS2U is THE BEST!! Thank you!!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This place was clean, they had a great selection, and the worker was kind. I got the gooey butter cake, bramble berry, and caramel apple crumble. I honestly didn’t care for the caramel apple one (my fault- I didn’t sample it beforehand). Brambleberry was a solid choice. The gooey butter cake and the waffle cone were my favorite!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ate most of my ice cream before I remembered to take a photo because this is so wonderful. Stopped in from out of town with some friends. Art was so friendly and offered ice cream and sorbets free of allergens, dyes, and made with real, whole ingredients. I ordered a single scoop of Mango Sticky Rice ice cream (yeah, really... Yum) in a house made waffle cone. The first impression walking in was the warm smell of waffle cones. They're offered at a very fair price! My cone didn't leak at all because it was well folded at the tip.
Art worked quickly to get through our large party. Also, the bathrooms are very clean! Only customers are allowed to utilize this service. Overall very happy with this shop. Jubilee ice cream is a must stop for anybody, tourists and locals alike.“

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

“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.“

“Authentic and delicious. Pistachio and gianduja were just as good as anything I had in Italy. My daughter's coconut and my wife's dark chocolate fudge were both great. We bought a pint of black sesame to take home- also fantastic. Sweetness is just right, smooth and creamy. Absolutely worth stopping by if you're in Bethesda Row, or just in search of superior ice cream.“

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

“great Service good icecream“

“I love it here it’s like child heaven, it’s so tasty and delectable. The slushy ice creamy texture is heaven like and the toppings with it are so tasty. The atmosphere is pretty good although they don’t have many seats inside, so if it’s a cold night or day than you will most likely have to go home to eat it or you could get a seat inside if they had one open. Overall I absolutely love Sweet Frog.“

“Im not allowed to return home by the 15 year old daughter without bringing Crumbl cookies home (Belgium). This time did a 30 min detour on my way to the airport. Service was friendly and swift... cookies are for the kids at home so can't comment on them myself 😉“

“I had an Ice Cream Social for my department and my colleagues were well pleased with the flavors and the personalized double scoop grab and go’s. Also big shout out to Ninfa. She was so pleasant and helpful. Really appreciated her for helping me out!“

“Jeni’s Splendid Has Some of the Best Ice Cream Ever in the DMV“

“I had a great experience when I visited this ice cream shop. I noticed that it’s now under new ownership, and the new owners were incredibly kind and welcoming. The place felt very pleasant and cozy. I really enjoyed spending quality time with friends while having a delicious mango ice cream — my favorite! I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly they were, even letting me try small samples of different flavors. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back again!“

“Great community coffee shop!“

“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.“

“Wonderful gluten free options and excellent coffee and smoothies !“

“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.“

“Wow. Haven’t been to a SweetFrog in years. Kids had a gift card so we came here after dinner. The place is very clean and the frozen yogurt was really good! The toppings bar was so clean and organized you’d swear they just opened. Highly recommended and will be coming back soon!“

“The ice cream here is high-quality, that is pretty rich and not super frozen. It has a low water and air content, and high milkfat. I recommend getting Founder’s Favorite or the Jamocha Almond Fudge. The service here is also nice and friendly. There’s not a lot of seating in there, and it can get really crowded at times.“

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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 Snocream now back at the Hawaiian bbq in same shopping center where the block was“

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

“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.“

“I’ve creme is so delicious!“

“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 stepped into this delightful store, greeted by Marshe and Delisha. They transformed it into more than just another ice cream experience ; it became an inviting atmosphere. Even after learning from the Manager, Jess, that their ice cream is locally sourced, I felt a sense of pride knowing that the community supports this pillar of our town. Thank you, wonderful people for making my first visit so pleasant and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!

Pro tip, ask them where does the south begin in Virginia. Thank me later. 🙂“

“Excellence everything a great environment, very friendly,“

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

“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.“
