Heading down Connecticut, I spotted this place in a bit of a plaza beneath the Ritz condos and…read moreother apartments. I decided to pop in and get a cone. My one negative about this place is about the plaza, not them. This area is clearly designed to serve the apartments around them. It isn't friendly to driving in, parking, getting in and out. It isn't horrible, but wouldn't drive over. The ice cream selection here is huge and approaching overwhelming. I got two scoops of earl grey in a waffle cone. These looked like the perfect scoops from a commercial. The flavour was great. My inner picard was pleased with the tea, earl Grey, ice cream.

Sarah has actually been open…read moreprobably a month now, but today was the day they celebrated with special activities outside and a couple ice cream specials. We did not partake in the buy one get one free ice cream flights because it was too much ice cream for us and it was also $20! We each got our own ice cream cone, which was about six dollars. More affordable. She chose a Bethesda Brownie brittle and I went with their seasonal Cherry Blossom Festival flavor. We loved them! Sarah's ice cream is so creamy. It starts to drip, so you need to eat it fast. My friend lives in the condos here, so I am sure I will be back for more. So many delicious sounding flavors to try.

The custard was not smooth, but was very tasty and went well with the grape ice. I enjoyed my treat and my husband got the chocolate custard with Reese's pieces. There are a few benches off to the side of the window where you order, though if it's nice you can always walk across the street and sit in the park if the parking lot isn't your vibe.

The cashier suggested that the Old Town Market has an ATM. Kind of defeats the discount purpose if I get charged a fee to use an ATM. I asked how long they've been insisting on cash for the discount because I know I've used my card on a previous Jayden day. The cashiers weren't exactly rude but not apologetic either. Better customer service would make me want to come back. Now I'm not sure I want to.

Service is pretty quick as there are multiple windows to order from. There is also the drive through window to order at. Right along RT 355 as you drive by you can see how busy it is on summer evenings. It can get pretty packed! The ice cream is a bit more on the creamy side but also not as cold. It melts somewhat fast. It's still a nice place for some family ice cream nights or even with friends as you could grab some ice cream and sit on the benches out front of just sit in your car.

One sunny weekend when the temperature was hot, I thought since I was in the area, I would come and…read moretry something different. As I drove in the lot, I could tell the place was busy (a line in their drive-thru and lots of folks at the entrance (ordering or picking up, I was not sure). I was willing to wait. I saw they had some June specials and a few caught my eye: Brookie - Upside Down Pineapple Cake Jamaican Me Crazy Key Lime Pie Mixed Berry Cheesecake Strawberry Matcha Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Ube There were some others, but I could not decide on which one I wanted (wished I could try all the above). I settled on the one called "Jamaican Me Crazy". The employee described it as: Coconut Ice Cream with Fudge Swirl and Almonds. I only got 1 small scoop since I was trying it for the first time - it was good. Next time, I will need to get 2 scoops as I really enjoyed the flavor of that one. The line in front went very quickly as I sat and ate my ice cream on the premises. There were several employees tending to the customers. I wonder if I can make it back before the end of June to try some of those other flavors, seeing that I have a $1 off coupon.

You can choose from traditional scoops of ice cream to flights, over-the-top sundaes, and indulgent milkshakes--whatever you're in the mood for, they've got you covered. Our orders included 2 scoops, 3 scoops, a sundae, and a flight. I went with the flight because I couldn't decide on a flavor, even after trying a few. Absolutely loved my decision! It was the perfect way to sample several flavors and find some new favorites.

With a galore of flavors to choose from, the Biscoff cookie and blue Birthday Cake were tasty (albeit not the best paired together). The large booths are super comfy and it's so nice to sit down and enjoy a scoop of ice cream or sundae with your family. Will be back to try more flavors and support this social mission shop, and maybe score a Martini during happy hour!

Known for the build your own ice cream sandwich, it offers a variety of ways to enjoy your sweet treat. You can build a sandwich with the cookie of choice, have your ice cream via a bowl with cookie or brownie, or go for a classic waffle cone. Once you choose your preference and flavors, they allow you to add additional toppings such as heath bar crumbles, hot caramel and more. The first time I went I got a cookie sandwich with caramel. It was wayyyyy too rich and sweet for me but very enjoyable. The second time I went I got classic waffle cone with caramel pretzel fudge ice cream (which is now my go-to). There's not a time when I go that the service is lacking. The staff is consistently friendly. They also have drink options to wash down all the sugar. Inside, There are only 2 dine In tables, however, they do offer bar like seating inside and bar seating and dining tables to enjoy your treat outside (weather permitting). I definitely recommend this spot. Who doesn't love ice cream?! Welcoming for all ages and demographics, the experience is always good when I go. And service is always quick! Recommend!

This is really a great spot to cool off on a hazy humid evening in DC after dinner. A service was fantastic and really has a quick turnaround on all the food. Definitely well worth the visit.

Levain Bakery is rightfully famous for its massive cookies, although it is quite pricey…read more There was a constant flow of customers, so it was a bit difficult to choose from the beautiful display of desserts. There were a few seasonal items that captured a spring aesthetic. Everything was packed well and we were out quickly. *Carrot Cake: one of their seasonal offerings and my favorite of the bunch. It was not the moistest cookie, but it tasted the most balanced. There was a subtle sweetness, although I would have loved to see more elements of a traditional carrot cake highlighted, such as raisins or warm spices. *Cherry Scone: reflective of the fleeting cherry blossom season. My party was split on the texture, with some disliking how dense and heavy it tasted. I personally did not find it dry or overly crumbly. The cherry flavor was light, and it colored the dough nicely and paired well with a darker beverage. *Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip: subtle coconut shavings with barely noticeable caramel. The chocolate chips were by far the most dominant ingredient and flavor. Apparently one of their classic flavors, but it was my least favorite. I was actually more impressed by their seasonal offerings, which is disappointing since those rotate out. Their classics are popular for a reason, but they do not feel refined enough to justify the pricing compared to other bakeries. I would not mind splitting a cookie with a friend, although I would not go out of my way for one.

I finally got to try Levain Bakery! It is a small shop, and it could be crowded. The service was…read morenice. I had to order the chocolate chip and walnut cookie and coffee sour cream loaf. My cookie was not served warm so I waited till home. Cookie is nice and big, definitely good....but it is not exceptional enough, especially for the price of $6. Coffee sour cream loaf was also good. Again nothing so special, but satisfying. Overall, it is a good bakery for sure....little overpriced and overhyped. If I was in the area, I would try them again....but I would not go out of my way.
