Ice cream: good, like always. The black cherry chip is absolutely one of my favorites! It's pretty…read moremuch the only flavor I ever get. When I branch out, the other flavors are good, but this is my favorite. Service: slow AF. We pulled up last weekend and the line was out the door. Only one employee was working and she was pretty slow. It took about 25 minutes to get a couple scoops. Portions: it's very interesting how the pricing is set up between one flavor and two flavors. And what I found, is that the scoop sizes are really inconsistent. It makes sense that they would be slightly inconsistent, but I got two flavors and there was about as much ice cream in mine as there was in my friends, smaller, one flavor cup. However, when someone was asking for clarification, the employee explained that it was two scoops. Anyway, as a whole of ice cream is good and I'll keep coming back for that reason. I just want them to be staffed properly. What I don't love is that people hop in, grab ice cream from the freezer, cut the line and get checked out, while making people waiting in line wait. It's unfair and annoying, especially when you're just waiting for a couple scoops.

I'm not an ice cream person, but my eight-year-old daughter is. Van Leeuwen isn't local, but they…read moredo create quality ice cream. And their sundae is, in my opinion, the best in the city. I always get the honeycomb ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, and sprinkles. It's huge and the right ratio of ingredients. Also, they don't skimp on the fudge unlike other places. Note: The fudge isn't as sweet as other shops, which I appreciate. This particular location is small. Located by other shops in Eastern Market, sometimes there's a wait. For example, we went recently on a Thursday afternoon. When we arrived, a sign on the door said they will be back in 30 minutes. When we returned, only one person was working, creating a backlog. I felt bad for her managing it all on her own. Our wait ended up being 30 minutes.

Value: 1/10 - and this is largely because I was charged incorrectly. I ordered a double, but was charged $10 - which I didn't fully realize until I saw the charge on my card because the employees were talking amongst themselves throughout my visit and didn't inform me of the cost Vibe: 1/10 - this could be a cute spot, especially given its location, but I was very put off when the employee who scooped my ice cream wasn't wearing gloves and basically had their hands in the ice cream. Also the inside of the store smelt like marijuana pretty strongly. Ice cream: 1/10 - I ordered a scoop of banana peanut butter, which was icy and lacking in flavor. The second scoop I ordered was chocolate, meant to be the actual dairy chocolate, but given it's similar iciness and lack of flavor I think I was given a dairy free scoop.

The pistachio sundae was amazing. I hope they bring that one back! I love that they use locally sourced ingredients and have a portion of their menu focused on seasonal ingredients. It's also cool that they collaborate with local restaurants to come up with very unique items. The H street location is conveniently located between Whole Foods and Solid State Bookstore. I usually stop here after grabbing groceries. They share a space with The Apollo apartment building so you can sit in the apartment's lobby, which is beautifully decorated, or sit inside Dolcezza itself. The ceiling in this place is stunning. The staff will gladly give you samples of the gelato if you're stumped on what to order.

So glad they still had an impressively wide selection at the end of the festival as many venders ran out. The Giant Peanut Butter Cup is very decadent with rich dark chocolate and creamy peanut butter. Just a couple of bites was more than satisfying and paced myself and able to devour the cup over a few days. The Dark Chocolate Covered Mint Oreo was delicious and my pick over the Dark Chocolate Covered Oreo, which didn't taste that different from a normal Oreo. Of the truffles, the Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Ganache were my favorites. The Hazelnut truffle was fun to try and reminded me of a Ferraro Rocher hazelnut truffles. I miss seeing Capital Candy Jar at the farmer's markets as many have shut down and excited to see them at more festivals and events post pandemic. Looking forward to seeing them again and coming back for more delicious sweet treats!
