My wife and I decided to get some ice cream. When you buy ice cream, you get 4 choices with each: a base, a flavor, 2 toppings, and a syrup. We tried the mango ice cream and the strawberry ice cream.
For the mango ice cream, I chose a cup as the base. The other base choices were waffle cone or egg waffle cone. There are 5 toppings to choose from. I picked oreo crumb and Kit Kat. I didn't want any syrup. The ice cream was smooth, creamy, mild in sweetness, and weak in mango flavor. The toppings were good in taste and texture! They helped give the ice cream some flavor.
For the strawberry ice cream, my wife chose a cup, Kit Kat, wafer stik [sic], and strawberry syrup. The wafer stik was like Piroulines. The strawberry flavor was good and strong, the sweetness was moderate, and it was creamy smooth with tiny bits of strawberry fruit. The toppings were good in taste and texture. This was very good overall!
The service was quick and polite. The kitchen area, dining room, and restrooms were clean. Their entire menu is in my posted photos. Parking is free and plentiful in the shopping center lot. The Metro subway Green line is within walking distance. The variety of desserts is not large. I wouldn't come here just for dessert. But, it's convenient if you're in the area. I heard from other Yelpers that the black sesame ice cream was very good. So, I'll return to give it a try when I'm nearby. read more
