50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Chevy Chase

“Great staff and great food. The perfect neighborhood cafe.“

“The ice cream is super yummy and creamy well worth the price.Super chill location that has plenty of places to seat outside.Location Location Location!I don’t get why people are complaining about the ice cream prices.A ice cream shop like this in a high end location off course is going to be more pricey than the local supermarket.If you don’t like the price then drive down the street find yourself a McDonald.“

“As a somewhat regular at the Tombs and having dined at a few of the many Clyde's Restaurants, I can honestly say that my expectations were nowhere near as high as to the level of quality that my friends and I enjoyed tonight at the 1789. In a word it was simply "AMAZING". The service was flawless, there were there when we needed them and mysteriously disappeared when we were set. Sometimes in fine dining the service staff can be hovering over us like Seagulls on the prowl at the Jersey Shore. We took our time to consume three courses and an enjoy a few libations. The dining room is intimate and inviting the fireplace was lit aglow, warm and comforting to sit by. The menu is adventurous but not contrived or so esoteric that we needed to google explanations so that we might navigate our choices. Presentations were elegant and simple with the emphasis on execution. Unlike so many trendy new places around DC seem to be awash in multiple concoctions that involve far too many syllables. The flavors were on point and the kitchen showed a prowess that must only come as a notice that it's all about the taste, the freshness and the seasonality that we find ourselves in. The New Bedford Seared Sea Scallops were delicious, plump and sweet. And the accompanying sauce just perfectly paired with the Scallops. The Escargot garlicky and salty. The only ever so slight misstep was with the Grilled Octopus, a wee tad rubbery possibly didn't poach long or slow enough to tenderize the tentacles before they were finished on the Grill. Our Entrees were all eagerly passed around the table and there was unanimous agreement that all four were perfect. We sampled the Lamb, the Halibut, Duck and the Wagu Short-ribs, whose taste and tenderness took me back to a similar experience 30 years ago at a small French Cafe in Newport. In my Humble opinion this entire experience was undoubtedly the finest meal I've ever been served in our Nations Capital. Reservations are almost always a must but trust me it is indeed worth the wait. Everyone got dessert because we were all part of the Clean Plate Club. Of particular note was the 1789 Pastry Chef's interpretation of Classic Carrot Cake. Reservations are highly recommended and be assured that you will leave with a delicious taste in your mouth and an overwhelming urge to plan your return to the "1789".“

“We LOVE Sarah’s Handmade Ice Cream. It’s delicious every time. Today we visited the new store in Gaithersburg and Sarah herself was ringing out customers! What a great, family owned business. We are so lucky to have them.“

“I had tons of gelato when I traveled to Italy with one of our favorite spots being Venchi. Since coming back, we've tried other gelato places but none have been anything like what we had there. Imagine how giddy I was to find out that the same Venchi was located in the States and close to my house!! We promptly tried the stracciatella ( my daughter's favorite) and it immediately took us back. It was rich, creamy, perfectly sweet, and delicious just like I remembered. We will definitely be back!“

“We LOVE Sarah’s Handmade Ice Cream. It’s delicious every time. Today we visited the new store in Gaithersburg and Sarah herself was ringing out customers! What a great, family owned business. We are so lucky to have them.“

“At Ice N' Slice we discovered a delightful twist on our pizza nights. Here, Ethiopian spices dance with traditional flavors, creating something truly unique. Each dish we tried was a testament to culinary creativity, perfectly suited for any palate. But what really set our experience apart was Mr. Biniyam's warmth. His hospitality wasn't just service; it was like being welcomed by an old friend, making our dinner feel extra special. This place is more than a restaurant; it's where food becomes an adventure, and every visit feels like home. For anyone craving a new flavor or a cozy spot to dine, Slice N' Ice is the perfect find.“

“We’ve been going to Carmen since our kids were little. The ice and custard are delicious and the service is always amazing.“

“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!!!“

“They are a bit expensive but the cookies are incredible and the staff is superb.The staff really is great, they work hard and go the extra mile for customers.The location isn't great but that isn't their fault so be mindful that parking can be terrible for the antiqued poorly managed strip mall.“

“Great Ice Cream ((I had chocolate-hazelnut). Great coffee too. And great service too by the Manager, Shaleeda (please excuse spelling)“

“Excelente servicio al cliente. Los ingredientes de muy buena calidad y el sabor es delicioso. 100% recomendado.“

“The flavors are unique and delicious! There were so many options to choose from but the coconut was my personal favorite !“

“The menu had too many good options and I wish I could come here all the time to get through the entire menu. During this trip, we tried the ube milk and the mango yuzu black tea. Both with boba of course. The ube milk was made with real ube so it was starchy like a potato, thick like a watered down milk shake, and really delicious. It wasn't sweet to me, it felt like a dessert vs a drink. The real winner was the mango yuzu black tea. It was also made with real mango fruit puree and tasted like a mango fruit leather. Bursting with flavor from the mango and had a zing from the yuzu, it was the perfect drink for the warmer weather outside. The boba was also so soft and chewy. This was a true boba place. And it was literally ran by one guy. If I lived in DC, this would be my go to boba drink place for sure.“

“We have Ice cream Monday every week. It’s great to turn a bad day into Ice cream Monday!!! Staff is always great!“

“My baby girl and I truly enjoyed their desserts. I purchased two banana puddings and a kale/callaloo patty. The patty was amazing, filled with flavor! We are definitely returning for that deliciousness. The kind young woman at the front let baby girl try the birthday cake flavor and she wouldn’t let the spoon go the entire walk home?. After purchasing great reads from Sankofa bookstore, we ended with a full heart and stomach at Here’s The Scoop?“

“Went there last weekend and everything I ordered was delicious, I was inundated with an abundance of delicious choices, the decor was open and family friendly and the service was impeccable“

“Got the stratiacella and passion fruit sorbet. Like that they do two flavors in one cup. Wish that the stratiechella had those more classic chocolate ribbons but the passion fruit was killer. Relatively fast service even though we were stuck behind a big group of kids. Perfect post dinner snack vibes.“

“I have a few favorite ice cream spots in the DC area, and Dolcezza is definitely one of them. The only downside is that the last couple of times I went, they were out of pistachio - my absolute favorite flavor! Nevertheless, their ice cream is always creamy and bursting with flavor. This time, I got black sesame, banana, and dark chocolate - still delicious, but hoping for pistachio next time!“

“Great community coffee shop!“

“The much-anticipated sister restaurant of Purple Patch opened just a few weeks ago and I'm already hooked! It's a lovely addition to the neighborhood, offering a simple menu with a lot of flavor. The wagyu burger is nicely balanced, and depending on your appetite you can get a single to a triple patty. The ube soft serve with coconut is such a hit and the flavors are perfect. It's been really busy for good reason, so you might have to wait in line especially on really nice days, but service is pretty fast and they also have an order online link. Enjoy the outdoor seating on a nice day! Indoor area is small but very pretty, and stools with counter-style tables lining the interior. Very kid friendly as well as they have a kids' menu,' tables, and neighborhood kids' art on the walls. You can also purchase a few Filipino snacks like v-cut chips and boy bawang (garlic corn nuts), and they also have some canned non alcoholic and alcoholic beverages available. With the addition of Joia Burger, the owner Patrice really shows how much she cares about the Mount Pleasant community and is invested in it. It's a great spot to swing by for a quick meal and friendly faces!“

“I like this environment very much, it allows me to work quietly. A cafe that pays attention to the environment and the quality of the coffee is good, I believe they will get better and better in the future. Reviews from Arlington residents.“

“Wonderful options! Tried a flight of chocolate mint, strawberry, four oranges of the apocalypse ice creams and watermelon sorbet. I think my favorite for this sunny day were strawberry ice cream and watermelon sorbet as they both were refreshing after a looooooong run! I'd "ice cream" for Chocolate mint anytime as it's very chocolatey and minty. A hint of mint chunks are amazing within this scoop! You can't go wrong with this choice really! Four oranges of the apocalypse ice cream is nice and zesty. It'd be elevated with some orange zest! But it's smooth, light acidic and citrusy flavor. I'd come back to try seasonal flavors! Until next time! The service was friendly and quick! Staff were very hospitality and welcoming. Sitting around is nice as it's very chill to people watch from window if you're lucky to grab that seating.“

“Super great ice cream place! The worker who helped us was super nice and recommend our ice cream combos. Flavor was super great too. We went before it got busy so it was quick and easy. Our total for what was pictured was $20 so be mindful of price but a super solid ice cream place to enjoy“

“One of the best chicken cheesesteaks I've had in a very long time. Just moved a couple blocks away and that might be a problem! Good stuff.“

“We went to the Mono (Georgetown) location and our burgers were excellent. The staff was friendly and the space was clean. There was outdoor seating enjoyed by many, but we chose to sit indoors and people-watch in the charming, bustling area on a Sunday afternoon. Great experience as out-of-towners!“

“Smiles all around! From the second you walk in the door you'll see why it's impossible NOT to smile. Ask the super nice staff for recommendations from the endless selection of baklavas and sweet treats. Kanafa will change your life...imagine honey drenched pancake with sweet melted cheese. Lebanese ashtaf chewy ice cream is like frozen Turkish delight. The small cup is perfect with up to three flavors. Add whatever flavors are on special to your ashtaf. I'll be back for the Pasha Special - baklava stuffed with ashtaf ?“

“Love the quality of the ice cream the candy apples are amazing The fudge is outstanding.“

“Amazing staff with an amazing mission!“

“Definitely a happy place for ice cream. Ordered a two scoop for $8. A buttered toast with strawberry jam and chocolate on a waffle cone (no extra charge for cone). It was decadent and delicious. Loved the cart option outside, and for pints, you can purchase in the Gemini wine bar up a few steps.“

“Nice place to work and pretty good food as well.I had their banana chocolate chip muffin which was perfect. It was perfectly sweet, soft and delicious. Not sure if it was natural or anything like that but it was so good.I ordered a decaf americano and it was good too just light, not very hot/ fresh tasting.I also tried the spicy honey gelato which was strange to me and didn't taste like honey nor spice... just not good.“

“Finally got to try their lemon cookie- I meant to have half so I can eat the next day but too difficult- I ate it all - it was the perfect soft with crispy edge and huge portion- it is pricey but large- service was fine and quick ! Place is small but accommodates enough to have short wait inside - ate walking outside though since there is no space to eat inside“

“We had many flavors. I'm not a fan of fancy-flavored ice cream, so my most favorite one was chocolate. Their ice cream is so creamy and delicious. The cones are good. The staff were very nice and friendly. They were so patient waiting for us discussing the flavors and making decisions. The store is clean and cute. This is a great place to stop by and get some ice cream.“

“Delicious (vegan) donuts sold alongside awesome frozen custard. We had the special, a banana pudding custard, which was one of the best ice cream/custards I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back.Parking: Parking in the lot across the street is free!“

“BEST ICE CREAM EVER!!!! Me and my coworkers go here EVERY WEEK and I do mean EVERY WEEK! Jeff is hilarious. We love the décor on the wall because if you have ever watched cartoons, it's literally every cartoon show ever up there lol... including Gumby. And there is literally a couple of benches right out front and this open area with tables and chairs to eat outside of the ice cream shop. DON'T WALK, RUN HERE!!!!!! THANK ME LATER:)“

“Excellent ice cream made in house with a great mix of traditional and creative flavors. Helpful, friendly staff who keep the line moving. We like to eat outside and have also ordered a custom ice cream cake.Dietary restrictions: They keep non dairy options in a separate case and also clearly label other allergens and restrictions“

“Absolutely DELICIOUS coffee with CBD infused Cinnamon Sorbet & out of this world creamy, almond milk eggnog latte with CBD infused Gingersnap Sorbet!“

“Service was great! Servers made some awesome recommendations and we're very friendly. Some of the newer flavors were overwhelmingly sweet. It was a little difficult at times to taste other parts of the ice cream.But the dark chocolate and peanut butter are awesome flavors.“

“Well prepared to your order. first time having shaved ice cream. staff courtesy and attentive to detail“

“This place is like a tiny apothecary filled with very beautiful and expensive treats. There were beautiful single source chocolates and packets of pasta that looked like art. The bagel I got was perfectly functional, good for a walk, but I would come back to get a gift or a special treat for someone.“

“Making the ice cream to order is certainly unique, but this also means the smallest order is two scoops, and it can only be the same flavor. Samples would be nice as the flavors lean more original than your standard ice cream shop. Tried the chocolate banana flavor, chocolate chunks were a bit too thick for my liking (hard to chew), but overall pretty decent. Was too busy browsing the prepackaged pints and missed the magic (or science), whoops. Friendly service, would return to try other flavors“

“I love Ben and Jerry's and am so happy they have vegan options at their scoop shop.This location has a small seating area. About 15 people could eat indoors. When the weather is nice there is plenty of outdoor seating.The employees were very kind and helpful. I came with friends and they had so much patience handing out samples and answering out questions about the vegan flavors and which cones were vegan friendly. I got the nondairy Whirled Piece and the nondairy chocolate chip cookie dough on a sugar cone. The ice creams were great! You would never know it was vegan: the cone tasted a bit stale. Next time I visit this location I will either get a cake cone or just a cup so I do not have the disappointing taste in my mouth of an old sugar cone.“

“These are some of the best cookies I have ever tasted. The staff are very friendly and their customer service is amazing. The fact that every week there is a new selection is an amazing treat for true cookie lovers. I employ everyone that reads this review to go and try the cookies at a crumbl location near you. You will not be disappointed!!!“

“Love the quality of the ice cream the candy apples are amazing The fudge is outstanding.“

“Finally got by to check this place out a d was not disappointed. Grandma, Posh and her son were all very nice and d personable. You can tell they take pride in the ingredients they use as soon as you bite in. I had the Cheesecake waffle with strawberries and a scoop of soft serve and it was amazing! Definitely going back!“

“This place can get popping' with its limited parking but it's close to my house and they usually have what you're looking for. Street parking can be available if they have no space in their lot and they have a small seating section next to the line where you order. There are three windows you can order from but only the first two have the bar code scanners. I love this place and will definitely be coming more during summer time!“

“Lovely ice cream shop with plenty of tropical fruit flavors that will satisfy. The sundaes are enormous and in my opinion totally worth it. The owner's friendly and passionate about his product. The last few times the teenagers working there weren't very friendly but what teenager working a part time job while in school is all smiles? This place is definitely a reliable go-to for dessert in Rockville.“

“delicious-quick-friendly!“

“Yummy froyo place in Bethesda Row. Smaller array of flavors but they are all so delicious! Also includes vegan froyo options like sorbet. Good topping choices with a clean hygienic self serve area. Super nice workers who let us sample flavors before we actually got them. Yummy and good music taste. Very clean interior and perfect stop while shopping around Bethesda Row. Really want to emphasize how kind the worker was!! I think his name was Pablo, he's so sweet and seems to really care about the store.“
