Amazing ice cream shop at Parks At Walter Reed. The flavors are so creative and service is friendly and fast.

Old Bay Caramel ice cream with fudge sauce
Lauren F.

I went here on a whim and was really happy with the decision! The woman who served me was super friendly and let me try several flavors before settling on one (sorry for being so indecisive). The dark chocolate was really rich, but I had to go with the Old Bay Caramel just because it was so unique. It surprised me how well the old Bay seasoning went with the flavors! I appreciate how creamy the texture of their ice cream was overall, but one of the flavors I sampled was pretty freezer burnt, and the shards of ice really made it unpleasant despite the great flavors. I also tried the fudge sauce and it was exactly what I wanted - I can't stand it when places for you syrup and call it fudge, but this wasn't that at all. Love to try new-to-me ice cream spots, and this one was worth the trip for the unique flavors and great service! I'll definitely be back.

Pound for Pound

Their motto is "Happiness Through Ice Cream." How appropriate is the motto? If you seek something different off the beaten path and have some level of adventure in trying new things, this is undoubtedly the place for you. I say this in a good way, really. The flavors that they serve are not your typical "Häagen-Dazs, Ben and Jerry's, or Baskin Robbins. When I first walked in, I was slightly intimidated by some of the names and the combinations/array of flavors. However, the staffer was patient and encouraging, allowing me to sample a couple. Please take a look at the attached photo to see the description of all the flavors. On this occasion, I decided to go with "Pound for Pound," which has sweet ice cream with pound cake pieces and rainbow sprinkles. It was absolutely delicious and took me back to my childhood days. So, if you are in the area of the location, please make your way by and try their ice cream. I've said it once and will repeat it: " You will thank me."You are welcome!

There is a new ice cream shop in the new Walter Reed complex on Georgia Ave. in Washington, D.C., The Charmery, that offers inventive flavors. We stopped in just a few days after opening. It is so new that the permanent store sign over the front door isn't even up yet. There was no line, so we stepped in and were immediately offered tastes of whichever ice creams we wanted. I chose the Old Bay caramel, which, surprisingly, was delicious. The caramel flavor was strong, the Old Bay spicy, but tempered by the sweetness, and the ice cream was smooth and creamy! I ended up getting a small children's-sized cup of "Ice Cream Sando," which is billed to taste like an old-fashioned ice cream sandwich. It was good, creamy, and had nice chocolate sandwich pieces. My husband got the "Goody Goody Gumdrop," which was fruity and sweet. Other flavors included: Honey Cilantro, Maryland Mud, Malty Vanilla Chip, Lady Grey, and Salty Caramel. They also list vegan flavors on their website, but I'm not sure I saw them. You have your choice of cup, cone, or sundae with all the toppings. Plus, they have ice cream pints ready to grab and go, if you're willing to share with friends or family. There is no inside seating but there is a large green outside the door with an astro-turf area with seats, plus tables and chairs on a patio area. The shop is located right by the new Whole Foods and there is on-street parking. Highly recommend!

We were excited to find this scoop shop across from our favorite Whole Foods. The shop is cute and funky and service is friendly. I like the ice cream here and appreciate the fresh waffle cones. They have limited flavor options and I noticed they didn't have some of the company's newer offerings. My favorite so far has been the mint chip, but they also recently had a really good cinnamon ice cream. The loyalty cards are a nice touch.

Very helpful staff, cute ice parlor vibes and decor..what's not to like! First, I can only indulge in dairy free products so while the selections here were few, the choice that I made was surprisingly shocking-all cashew milk are not enjoyable lol. I ordered the raspberry cheesecake ice cream and honey, after one bite, I thought that I was eating dairy because it was THAT creamy and good! Filled with flavor and delicious to the last drop, I thoroughly enjoyed it on a sugar cone. But here is where I laugh to myself because I sat outside, enjoyed a delicious ice cream and decided to then try a patty lol yes! I ordered one of the curry chicken patty and as a native Island gal, this place knows how to blend their flavors. Those patties were buttery soft and filled with flavor inside-ENJOYED IT! Would I return? YES! I do hope that they expand their vegan flavors but yes yes yes! It's hot in the District, stop by local and enjoy a well deserved treat.

I chose Blueberry Sour Cream Crumble and Butterscotch Miso. Both were wonderfully creamy, however the blueberry wasn't very flavorful-but I loved the crumble pieces. The Butterscotch had a nice rich, flavor. Definitely want to have it again. My husband got the Maine Sea Salt Caramel and the Vietnamese Coffee. He said it had a very strong coffee flavor and he loved it. The caramel ice cream tasted exactly like its name-you could taste every flavor and it was yum! There are steps going up to the shop and some counter seating around the perimeter inside. The staff is very friendly and took great care of us. They seemed really proud of their shop and the high-quality products, but especially were committed to giving customers a nice experience!

The chocolate was good, but I found the Alfajor to be fairly mild and lacking the flavor I was expecting. The ice cream itself has a unique texture, although it melts surprisingly quickly, so it's definitely something to enjoy right away. Overall, the ice cream was good, but it didn't particularly stand out to me. I'm glad I tried it while I was in the area, but I'm not sure I would make a special trip just for the ice cream.

Don't skip their secret green sauce too. It is very refreshing and just a little spicy. The mango sorbet is also really good! Besides the food, the inside ambiance is cozy with Ethiopian decorations everywhere and Ethiopian jazz music playing in the background. The staff are so nice and hospitable!

My friend Binyam called ahead and ended up talking to the owner, who is also named Binyam! We went on a weeknight and didn't need reservations, but the owner mentioned that Fridays can get pretty crowded. Definitely keep that in mind because seating inside is very limited. There's also a casual outdoor patio that could comfortably accommodate a medium-sized group of around 6-8 people. Owner Binyam showed us such great hospitality. If you're not familiar with Ethiopian cuisine, don't worry. He'll ask about dietary restrictions, allergies, whether you eat meat, and what you like, then recommend the types and number of pizzas to order. For our group, we ordered two BIG pizzas. One was half vegetarian and half kitfo, with no cheese to accommodate dietary restrictions. The other was half doro wat and half tibs. Everything came out fresh and piping hot, from the crust to the toppings. Just know that it does take a little time to prepare, but it was worth the wait. They also treated us to complimentary traditional honey wine, which was such a nice touch. The food, hospitality, and casual atmosphere were all great, and our entire group agreed we'd come back. To all the Ethiopian-pizza skeptics out there: don't be! Give this place a try.

I ordered the Classic Peach Cobbler and the Nutella Brownie, and whew...both were rich, warm, decadent, and worth the calories. No complaints about the desserts themselves.

The shop is in a small strip with a lot of...let's just say interesting characters hanging around outside. I wasn't about to park far away and walk back by myself. The decor was cute and inviting. Service was okay, but I could tell the woman working the counter was a bit overwhelmed. She appeared to be the only employee there, taking orders, assembling desserts, handling Uber Eats orders, and doing everything else. The slower service wasn't really her fault; she clearly needed some help. I stopped by around 7:00 p.m., and they were already out of several items. I wanted another brownie and a cookie, but both were unavailable. That was definitely disappointing, especially when you've already got your taste buds ready for dessert. The desserts? Absolutely delicious. The operation? It could use a little more staffing and better inventory management during the evening rush. Overall: I'd definitely come back for the desserts...I'd just come earlier.

Unfortunately, the dessert was just as disappointing. The peach cobbler did not taste like peach, and the ice cream had obvious freezer burn and did not taste fresh.

That said, it ended up being worth the wait. One thing I really liked is that they let you sample flavors before committing. I went with Ooey Gooey Butter Cake and Mint Chocolate Chip. Great combination. The mint was refreshing and balanced the richness of the cake flavor really well. They had run out of waffle bowls, so they placed a waffle directly on top of my ice cream instead. Honestly, it was fantastic. The warm, crisp waffle with the ice cream ended up being one of my favorite parts. Overall, really good ice cream and definitely worth trying. Just come prepared for a wait, or get there early!
