Hey friends! I lowkey forget this Rita's is walking distance from my house. It's so hidden and not…read morethe typical infrastructure of a Rita's lol. Anyways, I was craving a sweet treat and so, to Rita's I went! Fun fact: I've actually never tried anything besides their custard outside of a Concrete once. I've been getting the same exact order since a child lol. Vanilla custard in a cup with either Snickers or Reese's toppings($8). They're definitely generous with the toppings. It's so good every time. It's a little sweeter than I remember. Customer service was very friendly. Parking is free but limited. Interior was clean. No pictures because I basically inhaled it cause it was so gooHope you enjoy!

Someone in our community needed a helping hand and I was glad to assist without anything in return; Mrs. Q was reluctant to bake some cookies and I cannot turn down some cookies, duh. They were delicious, soft and the right amount of sweet. I had to tell my kids, "that's enough sweets for today!!" But only because I really wanted the rest for myself. ;-). The packaging was cute, with a lovely card was a bonus. I really appreciate her generosity. Please check out Qs Gourmet Baking, it's worth a cheat day!

Tried this place a few weeks ago with my girlfriend…read more I had a fantastic milkshake (the Monster Ink with Oreos and chocolate chip cookies) while my girlfriend opted for the Rainbow Road rolled ice cream (with Fruity Pebbles) in a waffle taco. The portions were huge, the ice cream was tasty, and the presentation was great! The staff was kind and friendly and we appreciated being able to see our orders getting made. Be warned that this is not a place for a little treat - we easily could have split one rolled ice cream and been perfectly satisfied. The space was a little small with limited seating but it was very inviting all the same. Certainly hope to make it back very soon and try more of their menu!

So, creme roulee - rolled ice cream - was a dessert trend from over 10 years ago, but I have never…read moreheard of it. This style of ice cream originated in France. Rolled ice cream is made by flattening an ultra-thin layer of ice cream out and then rolling it up. See the videos I posted if you've never experienced it. The flavors of rolled ice cream that I tried are ube and blueberry. The blueberry had a blueberry puree on top. The ube was served with whipped cream and toasted coconut. Delightful. I only wish that I had a double espresso to go with it. The flavors of rolled ice cream that are most popular here, so far, are: 1.) Birthday Cake 2.) Strawberry Cheesecake, and 3.) Cookies and cream The team here was also passionate about the ube flavor. We also tried the strawberry yogurt shake, which was delicious. BTW, someone ordered a croffle and it smelled like a buttery breakfast. It is a croissant pressed into a waffle form. We *needed* to get one to share. They have many toppings, but if you're going to order this croffle for breakfast, the plain whipped cream (vs. the mango cream) is not sweet, but creamy and satisfying. The croffle is substantial and eggy. It is very surprising because it's hearty bite after bite. There are no light and flakey bites and before you know it, it's gone. You get your dollar's worth, here. It's a good breakfast. And you can dip the croffle into your house coffee which is even better. I also put some of the croffle cream into the coffee. The house coffee is made from a machine and tastes dark and sweet. Yum. I am wondering where else you would find this no-longer trending trend - of French rolled ice cream - in the DC area. I found 10 places on yelp but only 3 mentioned rolled ice cream in the search result descriptions. The staff here are friendly, informative and patient. The environment is simple, yet elegant. A definite new texture and flavor adventure was found here, to be sure. Thank you, Laurel!

Okay so think Coldstone, but locally owned and more free mix-ins! It has been years since I've been…read morethere, but I think this spot has more unique flavors too. As you would expect, the smell was delightful upon entering, and the staff were so friendly. You were able to sample as many flavors as we wanted, and we could literally create whatever we wanted. I wasn't ready to eat it at that moment, so I actually got a quart of dark chocolate and cinnamoo bun ice cream with cookie dough mixed in. They have cones and bowls as options too. After experiencing this, I later learned that you can make custom pints and more with mix-ins at Coldstone, I had no idea! But definitely feel better supporting local local. Delicious!!! And they appear to be connected to an adjacent chicken spot. They weren't open when I went, but I will have to try.

After trying to get ideas on their website, Alexis reached out to me directly and sent me sample pictures of the tower design. She was so friendly and extremely helpful. She definitely left my mind at ease with her warm personality. Not only was the donut tower GORGEOUS but it was also delicious. The flavors I chose were the strawberry crunch, banana pudding, fruity pebbles and the Oreo. These were all delicious! All my guest and I were very impressed with everything. I am so thankful to Alexis and her team! I will recommend this place to everyone I know for every occasion, even just a sweet tooth. And ofcourse I will be going back :)

I placed my order over the phone, followed up through email, and the entire process was pretty easy. I will admit I was a little nervous there was a slight delay in email response time. But the cake was ready at the agreed upon time and turned out great, and overall, I had no complaints. I did think it was a little expensive, but honestly, what isn't these days? I would definitely consider ordering from them again for another special occasion.

You will never get flavors like the ones he creates. He previews the flavors at the quaint local farmer's market in Bowie and you can look up his business on Facebook to get the ice cream flavors ahead of time. Come and try the flavors because he will give you a spoonful of a sample. It is totally worth the $8.00. I know this week, I will be buying every flavor. I can't help it. My family is totally addicted. My daughter from college even calls or texts me her order so that I can pick it up. It disappears fast in my freezer. Eric, the owner & creator of Edesia's ice cream is a great guy and he is super friendly & nice; he uses no freaky additives or preservatives. It's sooo good because it's all natural. GO early, before I buy out all the flavors of the week! Really.
