Carmen's is what I would ask for as my final meal. The mango ice with vanilla soft serve. The people who work there are so sweet and it's consistently delicious. Devastating I can't bring it back with me to New York

Ube Custard

Carmen's never disappoints!! I'm so happy there is one in Olney, much closer than Rockville :) I got Ube custard and I was impressed at how spot on the flavor was! It wasn't too sweet and it was really creamy. My boyfriend got Nutella custard and ice tea ice, not sure why he got this combo but they tasted great separately. The Nutella custard wasnt too sweet like actual nutella, there was more of a chocolate flavor than hazelnut which I enjoyed. The iced tea was spot on too :) Overall will come again! The cashier was super sweet and welcoming as well. It was a pleasant experience.

So excited to stumble on and spot the Carmen's sign that I literally slammed on brakes to stop here after a meal elsewhere around the corner. I had no idea they had another shop. I really liked the Rockville location but remember prices were steeper but worth it. For all those comparing this to Rita's, Rita's prices were not that much cheaper and flavor was just okay, on par with an average popsicle taste. I had mango here and it did not disappoint. It tastes like the actual fruit and wasn't overly sweet. Even though I am not on the vegan or sugar free wagon, think it's cool they offer options for everyone.

Best custard around! We visit Carmen's way more than we should. Their custard is the perfect consistency and sweetness. The flavored custards are well balanced and not overpowering. We may have gotten ice a couple times and that had great flavor and consistency too. Service is quick and easy. Parking is plentiful. Great spot of a sweet treat.

Once again still my favorite places for a cool treat even day or every other day the favor change so that really is a great way to taste different favor. Today my friend purchased horchata, i purchased half & half sweet tea & watermelon sooooooooo refreshing & my mom purchased Olney orange w/ vanilla custard.....ONCE AGAIN I HIGH RECOMMEND

I'm used to frequenting the Rockville location, but I was excited to see the difference at this new location in Olney. I can imagine this place being busy based on the frequency of housing surrounding this shop. I got the cookie dough cookies and creme gelati with salted caramel custard while my sister got the chocolate chip cookie dough gelati with nutella custard. There was not a recognizable difference between the cookies and creme dough and the chocolate chip -- I had no oreo pieces in mine :( I probably wouldn't get the cookie dough again because it is so sweet, but the custard is amazing, creamy, and delicious. Great customer service as well!

Amazing ice cream. I have absolutely no notes. Perfect on a sunny day expect a lot of people in…read moregood weather. So many flavors which to choose from which can be overwhelming. Love the coffee oreo. Never has disappointed me as a flavor. Fast workers and samples are distributed pretty fast. Glad there's good ice cream so close by.

Sarah offers plenty of flavors, but none of them truly stood out…read more I was stunned upon entering as the wall was covered with every flavor imaginable. There were endless fruity and chocolate combinations to choose from. I had a chuckle at their Luck O' The Irish flavor, a leprechaun inspired mix of mint Oreo and Lucky Charms. There was a sign stating that samples were limited to two, but I appreciated that the employees let us try a few extra given the overwhelming variety. *Lavender Honey: leaned far more heavily into honey than lavender. I was disappointed by how faint the floral notes were. The base was overly milky and dominated by sweetness rather than any delicate herbal flavor. *Cherry Blossom: suffered from the same issue of muted flavors. Supposedly a rose water and cherry combination, neither ingredient made much of an impression on the base. The rose lacked any fragrance and the cherry failed to provide either tartness or brightness. *Salted Caramel: slightly too aggressive with the sea salt, though it could have worked if the caramel had more depth. Instead, the caramel lacked any rich, toasted flavor, leaving the overall profile rather flat. The variety was entertaining, but the execution fell short. Many of the flavors sounded far more exciting than they actually tasted. The mix-ins and toppings needed to be incorporated more generously, and the bases themselves required stronger infusions to carry the advertised flavors. In the end, the playful names were more memorable than the ice cream itself.

Their soft serve ice cream is sooooooo good. Very soft and creamy. My daughter loved toppings so…read moresprinkles was a must. The owner is also very friendly and personable. To be honest, I was in deep shit cause I jokingly told my daughter that my wife and I are not her parents and how I found my daughter in a trash can and I had to get her to stop crying before I get home because I know my wife is going to stab me while she goes on ranting about spending nine months carrying her only for me to traumatize our daughter about finding her in a fucking trash can. Look... it's my generational trauma that I'm passing down to her because my dad did the same shit to me also.... It's called tradition. But I digress... So I bribed my daughter with ice cream and I get to live another day stab free. Some pretty damn fine ice cream at that too...

Delicious homestyle ice cream. They are also the owners of Kona Ice…read more I've had their waffles before and it was delicous. I'm very picky when it comes to ice cream. I love ice cream especially during off peak season. I got the vegan ice cream - strawberry flavor. I wish that I got a bigger size but it was delicious. I was happy to know that the vegan ice cream was not soy based, The owner and the female employee was very nice and welcoming to our group. Its a small ice cream shop, but the ice cream is very fresh and they use high quality ingredients. No stabilizers in their product. I will bring my mini tribe back here

Bruster's is a great stop for some summer ice cream! It's a grab and go kind of place but they have…read moreoutdoor seating sprinkled around. I noticed they added more lawn chairs since the weathers nice! The staff is always helpful and quick at serving orders. They have a bunch of flavors to pick from and honestly it can be sort of a hit or miss. The classics are always great though like the cookies and cream or butter pecan. I got the cherry vanilla and honestly that's my bad because I thought it would be real cherries not maraschino cherries lol. The mixed berry cheesecake was so good though, it had a mixed berry jam and graham crackers swirled throughout. The pistachio was another slight miss for us. I appreciate the amount of pistachios sprinkled throughout but the base was giving amaretto/almond flavoring as opposed to a true pistachio ice cream. (I also don't like amaretto) so that doesn't help lol but overall glad I tried the flavors and now I can try different ones next time!

I'm a long time fan of Bruster's! Today I tried their strawberry matcha which is part of their…read morespring 2026 menu. It was essentially their strawberry ice cream and matcha put together. The strawberry flavor was very strong, so much so that I couldn't really taste the matcha. So it's good if you're a strawberry ice cream fan! I did like how it wasn't too sweet. David had the Caramel Brownie Batter. It is very caramel-y. The brownie bits are very much ooey gooey batter-like rather than solid brownie chunks. I do think the single scoop is a bit overpriced ($5.20 something) which was only $.70 cents less than David's double scoop.
