You can get two flavors in the small size which was clutch! I tried roasted strawberry (so good) and cookies and cream (classic, can't go wrong) and will definitely be back to try other flavors!

The staff member also let me sample some of their ice cream flavors too, which was nice of them to do. The ice cream scoop wasn't stupidly expensive, so I thought it was great value. There is some indoor seating, but not much. Overall, I would definitely come back and I would tell others to come by too.

I asked for suggestions and and overheard someone ask for a brownie and ice cream. I immediately had to give it a try. I ordered the cappuccino scoop to start. It was cool. I thought it would taste more like coffee. It's pretty small inside with only one bench and two chairs. There are two tables and a bench outside. After that I finished the cappuccino, I ordered the chocolate chip brownie which they warm up along with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. Warmed up and with the ice cream it was delicious. Overall I enjoyed my experience and would return if I'm in the area again.

I first fell in love with Mount Desert…read moreIsland Ice Cream while visiting Acadia National Park, so imagine my excitement when I learned this Maine classic had made its way all the way to Mount Pleasant DC! They have a great list of unique rotating flavors, and it's always fun to come back to try out their new seasonal releases. A few of my favorites over the years have been their hibiscus sorbet -- a delightful dairy-free addition to their Hispanic Heritage Month flavors that is the perfect balance of tangy and sweet -- the cinnamon cardamom -- a super spiced ice cream that, despite being freezing cold, feels like you're about to drink a warm beverage -- and blueberry sour cream crumble. When I'm feeling less adventurous, they also have a really solid strawberry ice cream that uses real berries (none of that artificial nonsense you see in grocery stores) with a delightful fruity, slightly tangy flavor. There's usually a pretty long line, but it moves quite quickly since they don't allow samples. It's also a small space that gets crowded pretty easily, so I'd recommend taking your ice cream to go and enjoying it as you walk around Mt Pleasant or on the benches just below the entrance to Mount Desert.

Blueberry was alright but I couldn't taste the sour cream at all. Watermelon was artificial and bad too. They also don't let people sample, which is weird for an ice cream place. Overall, I would not recommend this place because paying $8+ to take a random chance on ice cream flavors is not worth it at all. At least let us sample first...

The ice cream is made with A2 dairy so it didn't hurt my stomach as a lactose intolerant girlie. The shop is super cute, especially outside, and makes for a good photo op.

If you eat it wanting a super creamy/rich ice cream, then you will be disappointed because these scoops are super light and almost reminiscent of Italian shaved ice. It is creamy but not in a heavy way. I would definitely recommend Yala if you are looking for something sweet after a heavy meal!

My favorite part is the creative ice cream flavors. Where else can you find cantaloupe or Old Bay ice cream? And they're delicious too! I went with friends on a quiet Thursday night. The interior is bright, spacious, and funky! I love the creative decorations. They had about 10 ice cream flavors available. I had to try a couple because they were so unique! Baklava, saffron, old bay, cantaloupe, and more! They had classics as well like chocolate and mint. A single scoop was $6 and was a good size. I got the baklava and WOW. I'm a huge baklava fan and this was incredible. I don't know how they mixed real, delicious chunks of baklava in the honey ice cream without it getting soggy or mushy, but they did and it was amazing! A friend got their dark chocolate and it might be the best chocolate ice cream I've ever had- I'm look at you Ben and Jerry! Some other nice touches- the spoons change color with different temperatures! So fun to watch your spoon change when it sits in the ice cream. They were also selling shirts to support the local elementary school. They have new flavors each season, so make sure you come in and try more! I can't wait to see what else they make!

The cashier walked me through the flavors ( I love when ppl are knowledgeable about what they're selling! ) The flavors are South Asian and very unique.

Reminds me of a gingerbread cookie and Apricot Mace- taste like apricot and nutmeg- it's fruity and has bits of mace in it. It's smooth love the texture. Masala Chai & Apricot together taste like Sherbert It was such a hot day I decided to dine in. They have 4 tables for seating. Also it's something about eating a frozen treat with a wooden spoon it brings me back to childhood. Shoutout to the owner that created these amazing flavors. Well done. I can't wait to try more

Since there are no Jeni's near where I live (yet), I have more reasons to visit local stores that carry their pints.
