    Chocolate chip cookies
    Kyla G.

    Best chocolate chip cookies I ever had. Were soft thin and the boneless kind. That's why i didn't take a picture they fell apart. Literally 10/10 i believe it was 2/$5 not bad because taste level top tier. Service was good and quick

    Sarah A.

    Was really impressed by all the different flavors that they had. I tried multiple and they were all good. I'm definitely recommend them and they had really good service. The vibe was relaxed and there wasn't really much seating around them, but you can find somewhere else to see in the general area. Overall, I would recommend coming here. It is pricey for the size that you get, but the quality is good.

    Absolutely delicious ice cream. I got two scoops (cookies and cream, and tres leches cake) and both were amazing, creamy, and sweet, with the latter being my favorite (I love the taste of tres leches). Very generous portion and well priced. Super quick service too and I liked the vibe since it's a food hall and there's energy everywhere.

    Coffee ice cream

    Considering it's union market, the creamery really isn't terribly priced! I got their coffee ice cream and it was SO GOOD.

    Cute little spot. I had to give 5 stars because of the oatmilk mint ice cream!!! The service is great especially with greetings from the cute little baby. I have 1 request though. Can you make a few sugar cookies without sprinkles?

    Lemon Blueberry (Kid's Scoop)
    Ailun H.

    I've heard good things about The Creamery and I'm glad we all tried it this past Friday night -- definitely made a positive impact on our evening :) KIDS SCOOP - 4.45 A pretty small scoop but perfect for a mini sweet treat. They let us sample the flavors here and the lemon blueberry was definitely my favorite. The first thing I tasted was the tart and strong citrus flavor of the lemon, which hit hard. Then the flavors slowly divulge into something sweeter like fresh berries. A good amount of people in our group got the lemon blueberry, pistachio or Bischoff cookie flavors. The ice cream were incredibly smooth and creamy, and not too sweet. I'd recommend giving The Creamery a try if you're in the Union Market District!

    One of the few places I enjoy hand dipped ice cream, as I normally prefer to find soft serve. I've had their cookies and cream before and it was delicious. I tried the butter pecan on this trip, but it was lacking pecans so I'll probably switch it up again on the next trip. It was still very good, though. I also love that they support other local businesses with their small market items. I just wish I had gotten a pint or so to go!

    Small ice cream shop inside of Union Market offering ice cream and cookies. There aren't a ton of flavor options (only 3 or 5 available when I visited) but the nutella biscoff cookie flavor I did get was delicious. With tax it was $4.89 for a single scoop kids cone.

    This Java Chip was "chef's kiss"! So good!
    Delia W.

    Loved that I could test out a new flavor! The Java chip is so good. Definitely a new go to stop for the spring/summer.

    My second stop in D.C. on the cookie excursion. I ended up getting ice cream there and saving the cookie for later. I was really pleased with the ice cream. I ordered biscotti and cream and it was blissful. The little golden brown pieces of biscotti cookies immersed well throughout the sweet ice cream to my delight! I savored every small bite to make it last as long as I could. The cookie was another story. The chocolate chip cookie was disappointingly flat and lacking any potential. A giant disappointing miss for the cookie.

    The ooey  gooey chocolate chip cookies are the best cookies in DC!!!!
    Aarti B.

    Skip the ice cream and go for the cookies! The ooey gooey chocolate chip cookies with gobs of fudgy chocolate in every bite are hands-down the BEST chocolate chip cookies in DC! The single split scoop of Cookies and Cream just didn't hit the mark. The ice cream is very sweet and the toppings are sparse and not well mixed into the vanilla base flavor. The toppings need to be more evenly distributed and embedded into the ice cream. The former ice cream shop, Trickling Springs Creamery was soo goood!

    Ice Cream!
    Otniel L.

    We were inside of Union Market for quick little bites and decided to get a little "digestif" as I like to call it. We stopped by this delicious ice cream shop with various selections and I had the pumpkin ice cream. It's creamy, the flavor isn't overpowering with notes of nutmeg. I think it's the perfect fall dessert after getting stuffed with all the wonderful selections inside of the Union Market! I'll definitely give them another visit and try some other flavors. Also, the staff were very friendly and quick! -ODL Follow my IG: @AOEAT

    Cookies and cream
    Zabrina H.

    Highly recommend the cookies and cream flavor! It has chucks of a cookie and chocolate chips. Creamery has such good ice cream I just wish they had more flavors! They had about 8 to choose from.

    The ice cream was good but it had little crystals of ice in it. That made it hard to enjoy. I wouldn't go back.

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.

While it doesn't quite match up to Wisconsin's Custard (IYKYK), I will say it was good ice cream and definitely tasted better than some I've had in other states. This made the spontaneous stop worth it. They offer several fantastic flavors of hand dipped ice cream. I ordered the salted caramel in a cake cone. The ice cream was really good. It was rich and flavorful. Not too salty either. It is wonderful to find a great local spot while traveling as I always love supporting small businesses. Here you go asking me again, will I return?
