This spot has a plethora of sweet treats with unique flavors and fun customizations. We also got cookies that are not pictured, sweet and chewy. My favorite items would be their fruity soft serves and frozen yoghurt since it is not too sweet. The soft serves are quite big and good for sharing. There are not too many seats inside so we had to sit outside, be careful at night as they could get busy on weekends. Service is friendly and quick.
Was excited by the New Zealand ice cream offered here; we ordered the dragon fruit with vanilla base, and the dragon fruit flavor was very light and overpowered by the vanilla. Quick service, self-order on tablets. Very bright and family-friendly or date-friendly space with communal board games and dopamine decor. Lots of creative flavors of soft serve on the menu. There is a fun large ice cream cone bench at the front of the store.
Delicious soft serve! One of my favorite types of ice cream. You get unlimited toppings with each order which my kids loved. They have a large menu of sweets and drinks. Cute aesthetic and clean. Prompt and nice staff. I will definitely be returning to try more menu items. Also, conveniently located next to Meland indoor playground.
This is definitely one of my favorite dessert spots, and I've taken quite a few people to try it. I love their soft serve and I frequently crave it. It is very dense and creamy, which makes it the perfect consistency.. The ube and shaken espresso swirl is my first choice quickly followed by the Cookie Monster. The regular cup size gives you a huge portion, I rarely finish all of it. You can also choose from different topping options to top it off. In the winter, the hot chocolate is so good and rich. The inside of this location is small but I've usually gotten lucky and gotten a spot to sit.
Ordered a lavender latte. It came out quite hot, so I had to let it cool for a few minutes before drinking. The atmosphere inside was really friendly, plenty of families coming through, and one table was casually playing a board game. It felt relaxed and welcoming without being loud or chaotic. Nice spot to sit for a bit.
The cookie monster and ube swirl is fantastic, though the oreo crumble topping I picked did cover how pretty it is. We went with the kid's size cups which were just right for a summer afternoon treat.
UGHHHH I forgot how good and convenient this place is. I decided to get their cherry lime lemonade to cut through all the heavy food I ate at Tilly Kitchen.... It was so good I came back 2 days in a row and bought True Lime packets to try to recreate it at home! Service is always really efficient here and the interior is playful and fun with lots of games to play with friends.
First off this place is so cute!! Love the ambiance and all the cute photo props. There offer a wide variety of options from soft serves, to sodas, cookies etc. I appreciated the self ordering kiosks since it makes it easier to customize and order. We got 2 soft serves, they offer 2 sizes and both come with unlimited toppings. LOVEEEE this! We tried the ube which was absolutely delicious. Very creamy and not too sweet. And we also had the Cookie Monster and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My fave out of the 3 was the Cinnamon Toast Crunch! This place was buuuuusy on a Sunday afternoon, we ended up waiting around 15 min for our order. There are about 5 tables inside and a couple more outside. We'll be back!!! P.S. they have BOGO soft serves on Tuesdays!!
I've seen Softspot pop up on my social media feed several times, so I had to try it for myself! It seems like the kind of place that will always have a bit of a crowd on a warm weekend evening. The seating is limited, so more than likely you may have to take your treats to go. I appreciated the nondairy soft serve options - not something that's usually offered at most dessert spots! I tried the strawberry fresh fruit soft serve with a nondairy milk base, and I asked for a chocolate dip topping as well. The strawberry soft serve was refreshing but the flavor wasn't too strong. The portion is big, but I wish that my soft serve had been covered in chocolate dip instead of having it drizzled on. There's a lot of variety to the menu, and I'd love to go back to try more options.
I've never had New Zealand style ice cream or dirty sodas before and now I'm hooked! The strawberries and blueberries were blended with the vanilla soft serve making it a beautifully colored treat. It was not too sweet and didn't melt too quickly, which I appreciated. The toppings are unlimited and free too. A hybrid of nicecream I must say. The dirty soda didn't have enough carbonation in my opinion. Still really liked the flavors. Parking is free but this place gets really busy. Consider ordering online once you park and head inside. The place was like a zoo house with long wait on weekend evenings. Looking forward to returning in the future regardless!
Hands down the best dessert place I've been to in awhile. I an a slushie fanatic and am very particular about my slushies but I am always dreaming about theirs. They use jarritos I think so the flavors are absolutely delicious. It is so refreshing especially during the hot summer. Their ice cream is also so creamy and not overly sweet, which I like. Please get their cookies while you're there! They bake them fresh per order so they come out warm and gooey. Highly recommend!
Softspot was popping around 9 PM with bright colors, lots of games, plenty of seating, and a friendly and quick service staff. The 2 soft serves we had were good. Both were creamy and delicious. If I had to improve anything, I'd make the flavors of the ice cream a tiny bit stronger, and actually dip the soft serve if they are going to call one of their toppings "dipped" on their kiosks.
This is a great spot! I appreciate the abundance of drink + dessert options. My order was ready quickly. I met up with a friend here, and we stayed for an hour. She got a dirty soda which she really enjoyed, and I got an ube soft serve, which I liked but it was a bit pricey. They also have games to play, and a super cute design. So I recommend this place and would like to come back on a Tuesday for BOGO soft serve to try the New Zealand style one.

Found this place on yelp yesterday after a brief hunt for a sweet treat! So glad I came across it and even more grateful for the late operating hours which allowed me to call on company to enjoy it with! I ordered the Ube / Cookie Monster swirl with Pistachio drizzle and Biscoff toppings : 10s across the board with varying textures and flavor notes dancing across the palette Toasted Thunder : it's a good comparison to a root beer float! nothing much crazier after that , but definitely delicious! I am a SUCKER for a dirty soda after trying the Dirty Dr Pepper from Sonic so that may be the next drink I try from here! read more
Got the passionfruit 8 oz... it is refreshing and a palette cleanser after dinner, but it's so tart!! So beware if you don't like something too sour. This store is really cute and my appetite was too big, I shouldn't have ordered the 8 oz. My partner enjoyed his ube, but had to take almost half of it home. It seemed like most people were enjoying a kid's cup, which is 4 oz. read more

Love the lemonade. Service is good. Haven't tried the ice yet but seems to be a big hit with most. Small space not much seating however if you can get a seat they have board games for you to play while you dine in. read more
FOOD Softspot is a charming dessert spot located in the heart of Chantilly, offering a delightful selection of soft serve, sundaes, cookies, and custom sodas. My boyfriend and I visited specifically to try their real fruit soft serve, and we chose the blueberry and ube flavors, topped with Oreo, graham cracker, and Biscoff crumble. While the soft serve was creamy, the crumble toppings were tricky to enjoy, as they easily fell out of the cup while spooning. Both flavors were enjoyable, though the ube left a slightly metallic aftertaste, likely from the extract, and the blueberry flavor felt a bit subdued by the vanilla base. DRINKS They have dirty sodas and energy drinks available for purchase, though we didn't try any this time around. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. AMBIANCE They have limited seating inside the store, PARKING Ample parking is available in the plaza lot. read more

I ordered a half dozen classic cookies for my boyfriend's birthday and they were perfect! They were a great size and consistency. Chewy but not too soft, just the way I like them. It took about 15 minutes for them to freshly bake. While I waited, I decided to try one of their New Zealand-style soft serve flavors and went with blueberry with a vanilla base topped with strawberry drizzle and strawberry shortcake crumble. I love a fruity soft serve and this one was spot on! It was sweet yet tart with an icy, not-too-creamy consistency that I really enjoyed. Softspot is definitely worth checking out if you're into cookies and unique soft serve flavors. I'll be back to try more with this warmer weather! read more
Maybe I went on an off night but it seemed like the staff had some difficulties with the machine. I originally ordered the expresso soft serve but the machine was still working on it so I opted for the chocolate and vanilla swirl instead. The soft serve was too soft and was melting a bit. The place was also a bit empty when I went but it took awhile to get my order. I would probably come back to try other stuff and give it another shot after seeing some good reviews. read more
Not the best presentation of my chocolate and vanilla swirl ice cream but it tasted great! Chocolate and vanilla soft serve , you can add up to 4 toppings (I added gummy bears, graham cookies, oreo, and pistachio and then i got chocolate fudge! Everything cost about $12. A bit expensive for a cup of ice cream but satified my cravings! read more

The soft serve texture was great, but the flavors were barely there. I got a cookie monster/ube swirl and although I could kind of taste the ube, both were bland. Cookie monster was supposed to be vanilla with blended oreos, but all I got was a strange cookie flavor aftertaste. The strawberry shortcake crumbles were unique but didn't really taste like anything. We also got the mango real fruit soft serve (New Zealand style) but it was not good. The mango flavor was dull and sour. I was disappointed by Softspot and won't be returning. read more

Amazing place! It's a cozy little area with soft chairs, good lighting, and they offer board games too for entertainment. The lines can get a little long depending on when you go, but that's understandable since it's such a great shop. The ice cream is very good, I loved their dirty soda, and I tried one of the cookies, too. Would love to come back again soon. read more
came on a busy Friday night with my friend after we had dinner across the street. I've been eyeing this spot since they first opened and glad to have finally made it over! we ordered an ice cream each (which comes with unlimited toppings) and two different dirty sodas. the dirty sodas were exactly what you'd expect. flavoring + creamer mixed with your preference of soda. the shaken espresso soft serve was delicious. I opted for sprinkles on mine because I am a child and sprinkles make me happy haha the ube wasn't bad, but definitely not what I'd go for again. all in all, this is a great spot to hang out and chill. I believe the owner of this spot is also the owner of eggholic a few stores down. they have board games and card games for families as they chill and enjoy their desserts. I'd come back to try another dirty soda for sure! read more

A new, popular, super cute and vibrant soft serve shop, same owners as Jamun in Dulles Town Center mall, serving you New Zealand ice cream, cookies, and dirty sodas! The soft serve was delicious! My parents and I tried their Ube and Shaken Espresso Swirl topped with toasted coconut and Biscoff cookie crumble, and it was SO GOOD! Their soft serve is "not too sweet" approved, and very easy to eat and demolish haha. I also ordered two MOLTN cookies, the classic chocolate chip and M&M, and these have got to be one of my favorite cookies I've had in Northern VA. Service was overall pretty quick, just expect a little wait for the cookies as they are made fresh to order. Also went on a Saturday night, and the place was pretty packed! read more
Hubby and I going back and forth on things... we only ordered a soft serve vanilla as he is a purist and usually only goes vanilla.... By taste he wanted more vanilla ... I really liked it as not overly sweet which is usually my objection. We both decided if we look at this as a base it would then be perfect for add ons.... And there are a ton on options... plus they do have other flavors as well... need to try the ube I think my biggest complaint is sizing. Only one cup size which is way to big for me as I've been watching my caloric intake... and hubby is diabetic... would have liked a 1/2 or child sized option Nice clean inside... you order at the kiosks ... couple of tables for sitting inside... can't wait till we have warmer weather read more
Softspot is a new dessert shop in Chantilly that took over from the old Dairy Queen (located near the Don Churro). No matter what you are in the mood for, Softspot has a lot to choose from! I stopped by and tried a few things: - MOLTN cookies (white chocolate macadamia nut and a regular chocolate chip cookie) -Strawberry Moonshine -Chocolate/Vanilla frozen yogurt swirl -Ube/Espresso frozen yogurt swirl The cookies are baked fresh and were super hot (you can choose to get already baked cookies if you're in a rush.) The Strawberry Moonshine was a cool twist on a Dr. Pepper. And of course, not to forget about the frozen yogurt -- it was tasty! This place ought to be really popular in the summer when it's sweltering hot and humid outside. Even though it's winter right now, this place was a fantastic way to have a sweet treat. read more
I was very excited to try this place out, unfortunately it failed me. The place is cute and very busy. I ordered a coconut base strawberry ice cream and it was just very gross. It looks very pretty but the taste just wasn't correct. I know they were having problems with the machine so I'm not sure if that's why my ice cream had a bad taste. My kids had the regular vanilla base ice cream and seemed to enjoy it. I don't think I'll give it another try unfortunately. read more
A surprising treat! Upon looking at the menu I was very excited to try Softspot but it was even better than I was expecting! My husband and I both got the Ube and Cookie Monster swirl. I got mine in a cup with Biscoff crumbs and my husband got his in a birthday cake cone with Oreo crumbs. The ice cream was packed with flavor and super creamy! We loved every bite! My one piece of feedback is the cone seemed very thin so my husband's ice cream was leaking out making it a very messy experience. Otherwise, 10/10! We will be back! read more
I went here with a few friends for a post-brunch sweet treat, and it was such a godsend on a hot day! The space is a bit small with limited seating, but it's very clean with a cute little photo op spot. The service was also fast, they kept up fairly well with the line that formed pretty much right after opening. I had the New Zealand mango soft serve with toasted coconut flakes as a topping. The mango flavor came through the vanilla ice cream so well, especially with the chunks of mango mixed in. The portions were also super generous. I ordered a kid cup since I wasn't sure if I could finish a full-sized cup, and you can see that the portion was almost twice as much as the cup itself, which was overall a lot of value for what I paid. My friends got the dragon fruit flavor, which they said didn't come through as much, mostly vanilla. I'm not going to fault them that much since dragon fruit has a generally neutral flavor, it's just something to keep in mind when ordering the New Zealand flavors. I would definitely recommend this spot for a unique sweet treat if you're in the Chantilly area. read more
Saw this new ice cream spot opened so I stopped by to check it out. I got the passion fruit soft serve and a couple cookies. While the aesthetics of the place was nice, I thought the treats fell a bit short. The soft serve was nice and creamy but the passion fruit flavor was way too tart. It was so sour that it was hard to finish it. The cookies were also just ok. Nothing really amazing and a bit expensive for the size. Not my favorite dessert place but may have to come back to try a better flavor. read more

Obsessed The UBE soft serve at Soft Spot is next level. Creamy, dreamy, and perfectly sweet, topped with toasted coconut that adds the perfect crunch. Every bite was pure yum. If you're an ube lover (or want to be), this is a must-try. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

We recently stumbled upon this place after lunch and realized it's brand new with fun flavors! You order through a kiosk machine (rewards system is toast) and the service is fast! Haha We did the ube/blue monster swirl and it may be one of my favorite flavor combos now. Super cute shop with a good amount of seating! Highly recommend read more

I went for the viral hot chocolates and was not disappointed. I got the peppermint one and it was really sweet but not bad for those that want a really really sweet treat. The seating was limited so my friends and I had our drinks outside, cold air and hot drinks was a good contrast. read more
This place is delicious! The soft serve was almost custardy which I loved and my boyfriend got the root beer dirty soda on the menu (I forget what it's called but it had vanilla, chocolate, and toasted marshmallow flavors added) and it tasted like a root beer float. I would definitely go back. read more

Loved it! A kids' cup of soft serve was the perfect size. My chocolate/vanilla twist was delicious--soft serve that has great flavor! My husband had the ube and it was also great. We will be back! read more
The ube ice cream we ordered tasted super artificial. They must've put too much ube extract because it was so artificial tasting that it was bitter as we kept eating it. Service was relatively quick. Very cute inside and Instagram-worthy read more
I wanted to try this as I saw an ad on instagram about this place. Although this is a slight hike for me i happened to be in the area. It's definitely a cute little spot, and since I tried Jamun in Dulles I was hoping this will be like that. The menu is pretty extensive, and they have an ordering portal in store, however things are not that obvious and needs more description of what the items are on the menu. I got a vanilla flavored base with dragonfruit mixin. Pistachio swirl anf coconut. The service was extremely slow and the workers kind of seem like they don't know what they are doing. Anywho...as far as taste goes...it was not good. I can't even explain. I've had $5 dollar things taste 100% better than this. Where as i paid almost $12 just for my portion. It was hard to eat . read more
