Hubby & I went to Lowe's across the street and crave some ice cream. First time in this ice cream parlor & I must say it's the BEST homemade, not too sweet just perfect! read more

The place is near my credit union, in a nice quaint community. The ice cream signage looked so advertising I decided to have ice cream instead of lunch; but I quickly realized that I made a mistake. The cashier was so nice, I did not want to turn away when it took too long for her to come from the back and take my order. I ordered a banana slit, but they had no peanuts, and the hot fudge was not hot. It came out in lumps. I then chose, what I thought was m&ms, but was not. The candies were so hard I hat to spit them out. The fudge was nasty so I raked it in a plastic bag I had in my car. The bananas were good, and the ice cream was o.k., but not banana split good. read more

Lots of ice cream flavors with some unique options to choose from. Ice cream was decent, but not as creamy as I tend to prefer. Some of the toppings looked a bit old and the way they were displayed was a bit unappetizing. The woman working there was very sweet though! read more

Cute ice cream shop with great authentic Indian flavor options (paan, rose, kesar pista). Felt like we were back in India.

First time visiting and the ice cream was great! The ice cream was thick, creamy, and had great taste. Calorie count? Non posted, so it must be OK! As the neon sign says, "Life is better with sprinkles". read more

I ordered ahead and when I came to pick up I was pleasantly surprised that the flight comes with 6 different flavors. I ordered the Tutti Frutti, Rose, Masala, Jamun and the double chocolate flavor. They were all so tasty. The flight was 6 mini scoops so it was nice to try all the different flavors. I really enjoyed the Tutti Frutti which came with little jelly pieces inside. The ice cream shop is in a small corner shopping center with plenty of parking. The signs don't stick out so it was a little hard to find but it's in the corner of the shopping center. They have two rocking chairs outside also. read more

Sugar Mama Ice Cream is something special! They don't just have a big selection of flavors (they will be adding move in the near future), but they also add an incredible desi twist with a variety of authentic Indian flavors--plus vegan options, which is a huge bonus for anyone dairy-free. Vegetarian-Friendly: They've got several vegan flavors, which makes it a great spot for anyone looking for plant-based or dairy-free options. Decor: If I had to pick one downside, it would be the decor. Right now, it feels a bit unfinished, almost like they're just getting started with decorating the space. But the owner mentioned they're planning a renovation early next year. Food Breakdown: I went for the Paan-flavored ice cream, and I was seriously impressed--it's now one of my all-time favorite flavors! It tastes so authentic and has that classic, refreshing paan flavor, which is hard to find. Service: The owner really made the experience special. He was super friendly, welcoming, and happy to chat about the different flavors, which made it feel even more like a local gem. His enthusiasm for the place is contagious without a doubt Price: They have the standard single, double, and triple scoop options, and the prices are pretty much what you'd expect for the area. I felt like I got good value for the quality and selection they offer. Would I go back? 100%! I've been looking for a nearby spot with authentic Indian flavors, and now I don't have to make the drive to Malai in DC or Moonlight Sweet Paan & Sugarcane Juice Chantilly every time I get a craving. I can see myself coming back often to explore the flavors I haven't tried yet! read more

New owner has Indian roots reflected in new flavor offerings with the classics too. Tried my stand by, Pistachio with additional scoop of an Indian creation. Daughter got Truity-Fruity Scoops are huge - struggled finishing - be forewarned. Super creamy, honestly so much better than previous owner - go check them out! read more

Standard ice cream chop. They had pretty typical ice cream shop offerings, flavors, toppings, and cones. Husband got cookies and cream - can't really go wrong with that I got the Espresso Chip. The espresso ice cream was good, but the chips were full sized chocolate chips. Wish it was more of a shard or mini chocolate chips. Overall, nothing crazy good, but will fulfill ice cream craving. read more

Sugar Mamas Ice Cream just opened in Fairfax, and I couldn't be happier to have them in the area! I tried the pistachio flavor and it was easily the best pistachio ice cream I've ever had super creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. They also offer unique Indian-inspired flavors, and we sampled a few, including the pistachio saffron, which was absolutely lovely. Everything tasted fresh and high-quality. Highly recommend stopping by and supporting this new local gem! read more

Sugar Mama's - Coffee Oreo! Super delicious! - Desserts Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

My friend and I stopped by Sugar Mama's after dinner this past Wednesday for some ice cream. We were in Fairfax already, so we might as well get something local to the area. SINGLE SCOOP - 5 IIRC, it was 5.00 for a single scoop, which is cheap compared to Arlington/DC pricing (which is at least +1, lol). I got the Coconut Chocolate Crunch tonight which tastes like an Almond Joy without the almond. There was so much coconut flakes which I loved. I'm not sure what else was crunchy about it except the coconut flakes, though. The chocolate was nice and subtle. Overall, solid ice cream flavor. My friend got the S'mores flavor which he really enjoyed. It was a sweet spot (bad pun, haha). read more

Rude, and overpriced. I go in for a milkshake, after seeing the large, full baker sized chocolate chips I begin to ask if mint chip would make a good milkshake. The employee immediately cuts me off to say "they're all good." Thinking they must blend it up, or use a large straw, I order it. Lo and behold, I'm charged $8 and given a small cup with basically a cocktail straw. I ask the employee if he has a larger straw and he says no but I can order something else and be charged again if I like. The fact that he scoffed at my concern about ordering a drink that wouldn't fit up a straw, to then hand me a drink that doesn't fit up the straw... never coming here again. read more

Really want Great Indian flavors and super friendly service! Would love Sunday hours.

They had to close early...ONE hour early on a summer day. Seemed like the workers had other plans because they didn't even seem unapologetic about it. read more

In the tiny shopping center off a busy road by Jermantown! Nice little place to stop by for some ice cream. They have plenty of flavors and the service has some sweet workers who will let you sample some flavors! I did try the Chocolate coconut crunch which was pretty good but had to go with the classic Green Tea and Strawberry. Honestly, as for the ice cream itself - does not seem anything out of the ordinary. Simple flavorings and ice cream - nothing too notable to note. However, I do love that you can get mini scoops which (I got two) were the perfect size for a nice sweet dessert after lunch. Would recommend to stop by for some ice cream 6.5/10! read more

Parking: tons of parking! Don't worry~ Seating: there used to be tables inside, but due to covid, there are no seats or chairs inside. Food: there are many options! I love all the flavors. Personally, I really like the banana cream pie flavor! Price: quite reasonable for a scoop of ice cream! It's not too overpriced, especially for the variety of flavors Service: everyone who works there is very kind and helpful! read more

What a find!!! We were at Seavs, veterinarians for exotics like our parakeet, and stopped for ice cream afterwards. Best Indian ice creams, had not tasted chikoo for a long time, and the pistachio saffron. There are so many more great flavors to try, we will be back next week. Excellent service, very clean and organized. The non-Indian espresso chip looks great, as does the pistachio with lots of nuts. Chocolate milkshake was outstanding. Best ice cream place in the DMV! read more

Yesterday, My coworker surprised me by treating for ice cream. I've never heard of this place but it has great reviews. I had the butter pecan and it was delicious. It was super tasty, creamy, and it was rich. It was in a great container. My coworkers let me taste their Salted caramel and espresso with chocolate chips flavors ! It was delicious. I would definitely recommend. I will be back . read more

Went here a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised by the ice cream. The whole family loved it, particularly the mint chocolate chip. They also had some interesting Indian options (didn't try) that'd be worth checking out in the future. Same for the vegan options. We will be back! read more

While visiting VA, Hubby and I came to this place for some sweets. This cute place is perfect for ice cream eaters! I had a vanilla scoop on a waffle, and hubby got his chocolate chip cookie scoop. We had only one knowledge, but hubby's triple Cs looked more significant than my ice cream. Very sweet experience! read more

Grabbed a cone last weekend! Yummy.. I appreciate they let me try a flavor before deciding. I also like that you can get a smaller size but with two flavors. Salted caramel was very yummy! My son had a milkshake and he liked it as well! Great little local ice cream shop! read more

You can't buy happiness BUT you can buy ice cream and that's kind of the same thing. Plus, without ice cream, there would be darkness & chaos, and we don't want that! I love their mini ice cream option :) read more

All previous comments still apply, just wanted to give extra props to some recent favorite flavors: + Banana anything -- not your candy-banana flavor but more natural. Winning! + Pistachio is the real deal, chonks of pistachio in this thing! read more

Latest weather forecast of VA: hot. Humid. Really hot. And national ice cream day. So what do I do? Find an indoor ice cream shop to celebrate my favorite food holiday! I found sugar mama's and honestly, the draw was the massive scoops they give! This place is located in a small plaza but easy to find. Their shop is open and welcoming. They have a small spot just for kids. They have ice cream related quotes on the wall for folks who are all about the 'gram with their food. They have lots of ice cream flavors and it's my understanding they're homemade. They offer mini scoops for 50c, which is a cool concept... except I was interested in the double scoops! The scoops are like a size of a baseball. They are not shy. And they aren't ridiculous with the prices. I think it was $5-6 for a double scoop on a waffle cone. It was great. I will definitely be back. Probably too often, but this place will become a regular for me. Also really cool they have a check in offer! read more

Quick service, lots of fresh options, additional baked goods and prepacked pints to go. When are you reopening?

Loved this little ice cream spot this evening. It's a small hidden spot in fairfax but worth the trip. They have plenty seating inside and a few seats outside. I loved the plethora of flavors, toppings, and options! On top of being great quality and having very different flavor options (like white chocolate raspberry, espresso chip) it's also very inexpensive and the portions are great! They do brownie Sunday's, banana splits, and fried ice cream. It's the perfect spot for families, dates, and casual ice cream cravings. The hours are awesome too they don't close till 9pm and stay pretty busy. I loved how they had golf ball size scoops for $.50! I wasn't feeling super hungry and I really wanted to try a few flavors so I opted for this. I got the coconut, espresso chip (recommended by the cashier), and the cookie dough with rainbow sprinkles of course. Each flavor was awesome. I loved the coconut the most followed by the espresso chip. The cones looked delicious too. Would certainly return and plan on it!! read more

Good but not great Ice Cream. Can we get serious now? The Ice Cream portions are great, and so are the prices. I have no complaints there. I do complain that when I got a cookie dough cone, there was barely ANY dough! It was mostly vanilla ice cream and chocolate chips! Not to suggest it was bad, but where's the mouthful of "dough" chunks? When you get a bite of one, it shows the potential is there, but I might have only gotten two bites of the actual dough. Sorry for the meltdown there, but it stands to reason to put your product, IN YOUR PRODUCT. The waffle cone was a delight and though crackable the little pieces create a little floating vessel for the Ice Cream and you can use other pieces to scoop up and use the cone as an improvised spoon. I guess my standards were too high for this Ice Cream parlor. Maybe I would come back and try something new to compare, but overall it would be best to try somewhere else. read more

Excellent service and value for the ice cream! Wonderful flavors and freshly made ice cream so close to where I live. They have weekly or daily flavors which is unique to the season. Inside, they have several areas to sit in, wall decorations all so you can have a good time. The staff was really friendly during my visit. They give a big scoop for a very good price. I don't think you can find a price this good any other place around Nova. My favorite flavor is mint chocolate and I tried their mint chocolate Oreo. It was so good. I would come back to try more flavors when I pass by! I definitely recommend stopping by. The service is great and quick. They know how to bring joy in people's lives. read more
