    The very nice young lady that smiled and helped us.
    Tami H.

    I was visiting my son and brought my Granddaughter to get some ice cream. There was a little line but it cleared out and the young man that was there never even looked in our direction like I was invisible. After what felt like 10 minutes and watching the young man move back and forth behind the counter a young lady appeared and asked to help. We placed our order. The young lady even helped the family behind me which made me what h the young man e en more wonder was he new did he not speak but my granddaughter ate he ice cream I tasted it. Is was OK. I guess the experience threw everything off even the taste. I know I don't think I'll be back.

    It has been a while since we visited. Clearly new management. Tried 1 scoop vanilla sundae but they had no fudge and not even chocolate sauce. Disappointed and won't be going back anytime soon.

    Parking: there is a free parking garage right next door. You don't have to worry about parking! Seating: there is seating inside. It was empty when we went. You will want to sit down and eat your milk shake, because it is a lot! Food: we got the milkshake to share! It was a lot for the two of us. It was definitely too much sugar for us. The taste was pretty good! We got the Peanut Butter Brownie Bliss and it wasn't super nutty, just the drizzle was peanut butter. Price: WAY OVERPRICED. Very ridiculous. It was about $20 for a milkshake! Yes, you get to keep the glass cup, but it's not worth $20. I would never go back because of the price! No wonder it was empty... Service: Our servers were friendly and nice! They seemed like high school kids and they were very nice to us! They answered our questions well! :)

    Wonderful and creative selection. The ice cream was supermarket quality, so a bit disappointing. Small portions for high prices. Staff was excellent and place was busy, but ice cream was sub par.

    I finally got to try out this place this past weekend. I ordered the Peanut Butter Brownie Bliss in a bowl, I was thinking that would be easier to eat than the milkshake. I was totally wrong, they do not skimp on what you get. I wish they had a lid so you could take it to go or just save it for later since it's a lot. I wasn't was able to finish it and had to throw it out. I will say that you're better off just sharing a bowl with someone. I wouldn't make it my regular go to spot for ice cream, but if I wanted to treat myself and someone for a birthday treat or special occasion then it might be the spot to do so. The place was clean but sitting was a bit limited on a Saturday night, since it was packed with families and big groups.

    The Yard serves milkshakes that are a feast for the eyes, but not the stomach. A spot you go to for bragging on IG rather than enjoying some ice cream. Went here with my extended family after eating at Hot Pot Legend - considering we were about 15 paying patrons it would have been nice to have more time to try flavors out but I felt very rushed by the staff. They have 4 or 5 different chocolate variations and I was very disappointed in the one I got (which I can't even remember the name of) - which basically tasted like Hershey's chocolate syrup mixed with vanilla ice cream, aka discount chocolate. Wouldn't have been a problem if I had been able to try the flavor, but alas. They also have several flavors that just say "new flavor" but don't give a name or description of what the flavor is. The ice cream itself is just... meh quality overall. Tillamook or Homestead ice cream you can buy from the grocery store tastes better. The only reason to go here is if you want to get a picture for your social media. Maybe you can go with a group of friends and buy one milkshake, then take turns taking photos with it so as to not have to spend so much on mediocre ice cream.

    I was excited to try Yard's crazy milkshakes, as I've seen them on tik toks for a while. I ordered their classic vanilla shake, which came with a crazy amount of whipped cream and a cupcake ($18). I also tried one of their caramel-flavored scoops, which was $7 ($8 if you got it in a cone). Unfortunately, my experience was offset by the awful customer service. The staff member at the register was confusingly rude to me when I asked for a lid for my cup of ice cream. He first claimed that they didn't have any lids, but after I pointed out that there were a few lids behind him, he rolled his eyes and said "no, you can't have it". I was very confused at his response and offended by his rude treatment. I tried asking for a milkshake lid/cup instead and offered to pay for it and was still told no. In the end, the lid really doesn't matter, but the principle of the matter does to me. I was frustrated by the odd behavior/response of the staff member and didn't understand why other staff members didn't step in? I don't think my request was absurd, and if I was given any explanation as to why I couldn't get one that would have been fine too. The cashier was rude to other customers too...so I guess...just be prepared if you go.

    Frosted Cake
    Sallie W.

    We were taking a stroll around One Loudoun on a Friday evening and came upon this place. We came around 7 pm on a Friday and there was no line. Got their Frost cake September special since it sounded delicious. What we got was a pint of chocolate slushy ice cream with A LOT whipped cream with a cupcake stuck inside with a cookie and sprinkles. It looked very aesthetically pleasing, and it also comes with a souvenir pint glass. Another cool thing is they have a washing station inside so you can clean up your jar when your done to take home. For that "experience" I am giving it the 3 stars. Other than that, everything in the actual ice cream was very low quality tasting with a cool $19 price tag.

    Exciting visit to The Yard Milkshake Bar ! I knew it had to be serving good ice cream because the place was packed. Line was long, but staff is efficient. I ordered the triple chocolate ice cream. Place was clean , not very big. We couldn't find a chair, again popular place, but it's okay there's a beautiful outdoor space. My sister ordered the regular chocolate and it was tasty. We both enjoyed the waffle cone. They gave plenty of extra napkins. Parking was easy , there is a lot on the left side of shop. I advise to grab ice cream and sit outside for a nice experience. Enjoy!

    Seriously overpriced. Almost $20 for one milkshake? Also the flavors are a bit overwhelming I had no idea what to order and just ended up getting a birthday milkshake for my boys I tried to ask them what their most popular flavor was but they seemed annoyed I asked and didn't help me at all. The ice creams tastes generic and melts way too fast

    Southern BlackBerry Cobbler Milkshake
    Ramsha S.

    You know that song about the milkshake, "my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard?" The boys, or shall I say, the people should really go to the Yard for their milkshakes. First of all, the shakes just look beautiful. The pictures don't do them justice. Everyone who works here is amazing! My friend and I didn't know what to order so we were made a surprise speciality shake and wow- it was delicious. We got a Southern Blackberry Cobbler inspired shake. I absolutely adore the person who made our shake- he was so lovely. He talked to us and made sure we enjoyed our experience. The shakes are sweet and filling. Honestly, one pint can definitely be shared by 2-3 people because they are that sweet (but in such a good way). You also get to take the mason jars home as a memento! Service is fast and ambiance is cute. It's its own place and if you're looking for a delectable treat- stop at the Yard.

    Mint Green Monster Bowl
    Ronald M.

    I really don't get the hype, but for some context I've never been a big fan of milk-based ice cream. I've tried the Ben & Jerrys almond based ice cream and can happily live with that version of ice cream. Regardless, I decided to give this place a try on a Saturday around 7-8pm. To start with, I heard lines were ridiculously long so I called in to ask if phone orders or online orders were not an option. I'd have to go in and order in person. Ok, omw. I get there and see a line that fills up to the door, but it only took around 15 minutes for me to make my order. I was disappointed by the limited amount of dairy-free options, they only had 2-3 but 20+ options of dairy options. None of the dairy free options looked appealing to me so I asked for the mint green monster bowl to share since I had a small craving. As to the inside setup, I can also confirm it is pretty cramped. Waiting for my order required me to stand in a cramped section around tables of people eating. Can't imagine it to be a comfortable eat-in experience. Got my order around 10 minutes of waiting, and was overwhelmed with how sweet it was. I couldn't finish even half of it, even while sharing it. I am always surprised to see how many people willingly wait to order here - it just isn't for me! Concept looks great in IG, but doesn't deliver irl

    Blue Monster
    Ashley H.

    My friend recommended this spot out to me and my bf and I were so happy to see that they offer the Blue Cookie Monster as one of their flavors. Not all places sell that flavor and it's our new favorite flavor. The ice cream was delicious and definitely leaves a blue stain on your lips after lol. The scoops are pretty large so it's perfect for sharing. They also let you try little samples if you can't choose. So happy to have a local spot serving our favorite ice cream!

    We learned about this place from an email from Yelp that featured new places to try…read more Since we were planning to have dinner at a restaurant in the area, we figured that I would stop in after dinner and get some dessert to go. It's not easy to find. Their address is on Southbank Street, but it can be easy to miss it as it is behind Robek's. We were here on a Sunday around 5 p.m. The first thing I noticed was that they didn't have very many items left. The young man who was behind the counter was friendly and patient. I decided to order two lemon cupcakes and two birthday cupcakes. There were only two birthday cupcakes left, so I guess I timed it right. Four cupcakes ended up costing $18, which seems to be on the expensive side. As for the cupcakes, the lemon ones were for my husband. He thought the lemon flavoring could have been more prominent. We also noticed that the cupcakes were on the oily side. On the plus side, the cake part was very light in texture. This place is basically a take out set up, as it is small. We're not sure if we would return. If we did return, it would be for a meal in the area.

    I came on a weekday evening when it was less busy…read more They are located inside Cascades Marketplace, across from Taco Bamba and Activate. There's plenty of parking available. I was casually looking at the flavors when someone greeted me and was ready to help. Turns out he was the owner and was very nice. He explained how all the cupcakes are baked fresh daily, and he makes the ice cream himself as well. There were definitely a lot of options, so it was a little tough to choose. They have cupcakes, ice cream, cookies, macarons, etc. It looks like they also have seasonally decorated cupcakes as well. But I did come here with the intention of getting a cupcake, but leaving with four. I chose the following: -mocha chocolate oreo - This one was a little too complex for me, I couldn't really taste the mocha flavor. -pumpkin pie-ception - spot on, this was very delicious. I loved the little pumpkin pie slice on top. -red velvet - This was pretty good, the the cream cheese frosting wasn't too sweet which is how I like it. -carrot cake - I didn't taste it yet, but I figured it's a combination of the pumpkin pie-ception and red velvet frosting. The cupcakes are $4.25 each, with a $1 up charge for a deluxe cupcake... Not sure which one that was. The cupcake prices are high but kind of average price. The cupcakes were good, moist. I do wish that there was a little filling on the inside and maybe a little less frosting on top. Would I return? Maybe if I am in the area.

I started with a couple of drinks, and let's just say the bartender had a generous pour--if you know, you know! The cheesesteak rolls were absolutely spot on.

If a place consistently delivers tasty food, solid execution, and keeps you wanting to come back, that earns a top rating from me. Ted's Bulletin absolutely does that. We have been to the One Loudoun location several times for breakfast, and it is consistently a great experience. That kind of consistency matters, especially for breakfast service where some places can be hit or miss. One of our favorites has been the huevos rancheros. They serve it on tostadas, which gives the dish a great crispy base and a really satisfying texture. It is flavorful, hearty, and always hits the spot. We have also had their homemade tater tots, and they are excellent. Nicely fried, crisp on the outside, soft inside, and clearly done with care rather than feeling like an afterthought side dish. Their French toast is another strong option and always enjoyable. If you are in the mood for something sweeter, it is a very solid choice. We have also tried the breakfast cinnamon roll. It is definitely generous in size. It is decent and worth trying, but it can be a lot, which is probably why we only order it occasionally. For the kids, the hot chocolate is always a favorite and something they genuinely look forward to each visit. Overall, Ted's Bulletin continues to deliver tasty breakfast food, dependable quality, and a family friendly experience that keeps us coming back. Easy 5 stars from me.
