Ben & Jerry's ice cream is delicious, that's a given. The caramel blonde ice cream was a hit for us. The establishment was clean and tidy, the cute cow seat was nice for our kiddos. The employees were nice and greeted us right away. The 4 stars is just because it's crazy expensive for some ice cream. $9 for a small cup of ice cream is wild in my opinion - and I'm from Tampa, FL where everything is more expensive than it should be lol

Brittany was a great server, she greeted us warmly and flashed a smile to make us feel welcome. We tried the non-dairy flavors and she told us they were made with oat milk. The strawberry swirl was delicious and we would come again!

The ice cream is very good and the restaurant is in a very convenient place in the heart of old town. The ice cream is very expensive and can be bought for much cheaper in the pints in the stores.

Cone selection

I've always loved Ben and Jerry's ice cream and usually get this at the grocery store. I've been to the Vienna location but saw this one on the way back to the car after dinner and had to stop in. I was surprised by how many different cone options they had an opted for a cookies and cream one. I've never seen this option at any ice cream spot and it was delicious! I got a scoop of PB sundae and strawberry marshmallow and both were great. It was a hefty serving but it all fit on the cone! Service was quick as well. My cone and my friend's single scoop in a cup came to about $19 which is a little steep but Ben & Jerry's is always worth it. I know old town had some other ice cream options but I find Ben and Jerry's to be the highest quality! Next time, I think I'll visit in the daytime and grab some ice cream for a walk as it is located right near the water in old town! Highly recommend for quality ice cream.

I had just finished dinner in Old Town, and wanted some ice cream. Walking around the…read moreneighborhood, there was definitely no shortage of ice cream shops! I spotted Pop's and thought, what could be better. I didn't know 'Pop's' was Ray Giovanni, who started his ice cream business in the '40s. He opened the store on King St. in 1976 - exactly 50 years ago. There was a very large selection of flavors, however, I was told I only get 'one sample taste'. Hmmm, that just made my choice rather easy - as my two favorites are chocolate and coffee. While I would have liked to sample a few others, and may have chosen a different flavor, I was okay with a scoop of chocolate and coffee. It was the first time I was limited to 1 sample taste at an ice cream store. The chocolate had a deep, rich taste, it was excellent. The coffee was also very good, but I was expecting a stronger coffee flavor.

This should have been a GREAT experience. Ice cream after a great seafood meal. A walk along the…read morePotomac. Ice cream with an old soda fountain vibe and feel. Instead, the guy working behind the counter looked like he would rather be chewing oyster shells than scooping ice cream. I usually let things roll off my back, but this kid hated his job and his life. Never greeted us, never spoke to us, unless it was a clarifying question. Seemed genuinely annoyed and put out when we asked about trying a flavor, to which I almost called him out when she was being nice and patient and placed the scoop on top of the cone with nothing inside the actual cone. No pride or care, just a check mark. At the end of the day, the ice cream saved the experience as it was welcomed and put my frustrations at ease. Rich and creamy with lots of ingredients in each bite, but I think we'll try the Creamery across the street next time we visit Alexandria.

I stopped in on a Saturday night. It was almost 9pm and I didn't realize they were about to close…read more There were so many options for what to get that I was a bit overwhelmed and it took a moment to figure out what I wanted. Not because of the flavors, but the ways you can get your sweet treat (like, cone, cup, sundae, etc.) and other various options (like ice cream, sorbet, custard, etc.) I sampled a couple of sorbet flavors and ended up with a small cup of those two flavors. A small cup is two scoops so it was perfect! The flavors were Lemon Lavender and POG (pomegranate, orange, guava). At first I think I liked the lavender best, but as I continued to eat, I think POG stole the show. They were both refreshing and flavorful and I appreciated the blends to give my tastebuds new flavors. Del Ray is such a cute neighborhood too. I sat outside at the tables/benches to eat. If you're planning a visit, their website is pretty slim and doesn't list all the options for getting a sweet treat. I do think it would be helpful for it to include those options. But others have posted pictures of their menu so you can search for that.

I popped in on Sunday. It was busy…read more There was a guy in front of me in line with hearing issues and I had to tap his shoulder to direct him to the person waiting to take his order. The server person was clearly impatient with him but made me a little uncomfortable. I got the "Kit Kat" ice cream sandwich. It came in an Oreo wafer and was chocolate custard and was hard as a rock, plus was bland. I had to go back in and ask if it was actually the right thing, since it was so unrelated to KitKat. The cashier guy said yeah, it is KitKat. I told him it was nasty. It was $7.70 when all was said and done. Don't be back.

A combination of 20 staple and rotating flavors, there's really something for everyone. We eventually opted for two flavors, the strawberry and orange dark chocolate. Absolutely delicious. The flavors are bold and the gelato itself is creamy smooth. The consistency in both was apparent -- they clearly use high quality ingredients. Highly recommend giving them a try. This will be our regular gelato stop whenever we're in Alexandria!
