So I know this is a chain but I had never heard of it before this trip. Anyway, my aunty raved about it while we were visiting her in DC but we weren't able to get to one there. Luckily, came across this one while I was using the public library up the street. We couldn't pass it up, despite the 50 degree weather that day.
I usually wouldn't write reviews for places like this but the guy that helped us was so sweet, I thought he deserved a shoutout. There's no seating; it's just a window where you order your ice and then you're on your own.
Basically, you should look at the italian ice and the frozen custard. They have two options that mix the two: gelati has custard layered over ice over custard over ice and the misto has custard and ice blended together. They had several flavors of ice (I got strawberry starburst and my dad got keylime--both of which were super yum) and the vanilla custard. To be honest, I probably could have passed on the custard; it tasted like the buttercream frosting on birthday cakes. The italian ice was really really good though.
They also have milkshakes and blendinis and frozen lemonade but I'd recommend the italian ice or the gelati if you've never been here.
Parking for this specific location is all metered on the street.. so good luck! The guy is so nice though, it's worth a try! And if you don't know what flavor you want to get, ask for a sample!
