50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Tysons

“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!“

“The gelato was absolutely delicious! The coconut flavor was especially amazing—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. What made the experience even better was the outstanding customer service. One of the staff members, whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were friendly, attentive, and truly embodied what great customer service should be. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!“

There is a variety of toppings, including fresh fruits, syrups, whipped cream, chocolates, candies and gummies, and oreos. My favorite flavor is the triple chocolate. Their taro flavor is quite unique too. Would love to come again!“

SCOOPS2U is THE BEST!! Thank you!!“

“The ice cream is fantastic with a lot of interesting and newer options. The waiter is very nice and helpful. The atmosphere is very fun and colorful. The bathroom is big and clean. There's not much they could do to be better in any aspect. They could add a handicap button to the door but that's true of most places.“

“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!“

“great Service good icecream“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Marcein at Jeni’s made our visit absolutely memorable. They explained the flavors with so much enthusiasm and care, making it easy (and fun) to choose. Their bubbly personality and genuine happiness created such a welcoming experience—it felt like more than just getting ice cream. Exceptional service like this truly makes a difference. Thank you, Marcein!“

““A fantastic ice cream spot! Cleanliness and hygiene are exceptional, and the ice cream quality is outstanding. The staff are always friendly with great smiles, and the owner makes every visit feel special. Definitely one of the best places for a sweet treat!”“

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

“I really enjoyed the fro-yo at this place! The service was great, especially from this worker named Terri, who helped me get what I wanted and explained things to me very clearly and was super nice. I will visit more often, I recommend this spot to everyone.“

“Love the coffee so much, but only thing that bothers me is that they charge you $1.50 for non dairy milk in 2026, and their drinks are already overpriced compared to all of the other coffee spots, so my simple small iced lattes end up being $10 every time. Also there can be quite a wait time and confusion/friction on where to stand in line and who to order with.“

“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.“

“Delicious cookies and always friendly staff. Great for celebrations or just a treat to brighten your or someone else’s day! Something for everyone’s taste. There are a few regular flavors (sugar, chocolate chip…) and then 4 or more other flavors that change each week. I recommend placing your order on the app. You’ll get points toward free cookies and a cookie on your bday.“

“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!“

“Excellence everything a great environment, very friendly,“

“I keep forgetting CSC is there and need to be better about patronizing there. Its always a hit and always enjoy what we order. We were there for a friend's birthday after dinner treat and I ordered something off the menu 'Rocky Road' and it was perfect with mini marshmallows.

They are always friendly and the portions are big and generous. What a treasure to have in Burke.

Will definitely be back.“

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

“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!“

“They have the very best frozen custard that I’ve had for years!“

“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. 🙂“

“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.“

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

“I’ve creme is so delicious!“

“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.“
