    amaretto, rum and raisin
    Varun S.

    After seeing people standing in line for ice cream at this place, we decided to give it a try. We ordered a small cup, which lets you choose two flavors, and picked rum and raisin along with amaretto. The amaretto didn't really have much flavor, but the rum and raisin was delicious and very flavorful. Glad we tried it!

    I waited in line for maybe 15-20 mins, but the ice cream was good! They have such an extensive menu and it took me until I got to the front of the line to choose a flavor lol. I ended up choosing the pumpkin flavor since it was a seasonal flavor. Very creamy and delicious.

    The frozen yogurt was fantastic, and thick and creamy! The service was great and he let us sample whatever we wanted. We went around five, and there was no line at all. Overall, highly recommend!

    A classic ice cream shop this is a little bit over stimulating with all the people packed at the front door trying to get a sweet treat, and the large menu with tons of flavors. Additionally this place could use a revamp as the tables, chairs, flooring, and decor is old looking. The staff was ok but they only have 1 register in busy Georgetown. The ice cream is a great treat and they have a flavor for everyone in the family. I got the vanilla chocolate almond and throughly enjoyed it. My husband got strawberry and he was pleased as well. They also have ice cream cakes, chocolate, and coffee. There's also outdoor seating and street parking.

    Do they have a ton of really cool flavors? Yes. Are they super busy and try to keep the line moving as fast as possible? Yes. Are they a little bit more rude than they should be? Yes. They also have a really weird role that you need to have a $10 minimum to have a credit card, really it's just a trick to make you have to buy more, which is pretty weird to me because I've never seen another restaurant do this. Just be aware of that before you come, with a group of friends, it is really fun to talk about all the different flavor options they have, and you will not be let down by them. I really loved the coffee Heath bar, and the butternickel, which is like a butterscotch toffee.

    Classic ice cream spot with tons of flavors! Ambiance & Service: Classic ice cream shop vibe with plenty of indoor seating. Service was quick, but double-check your size if you want the kids' small! I thought I ordered the smallest size and it ended up being their traditional small! Butterbrickle Ice Cream with Oreos: Smooth, creamy, and delicious! The butterscotch/toffee flavor is a must-try. TL;DR: Great spot for creamy ice cream--don't miss the Butterbrickle!

    Super yummy ice cream, however the amount that they give you is way too much for the size of the cup! It was a hot day and our ice cream was melting everywhere, however, we were determined to keep up since it was so delicious.

    Delicious Amaretto, rum raisin, and coffee heath bar.
    Keisha M.

    It's been awhile since I visited one of my favorite ice cream shop. They didn't disappoint. Same fast yet great customer service, many tasty flavors to choose from, and generous portions. I highly recommend getting their fresh tasty waffle cone with your order. My eyes were DEFINITELY bigger than my stomach when craving my three favorite flavors- rum raisin, amaretto, and coffee heath bar in their fresh made and tasty waffle cone. The coffee heath bar is not is an overly strong coffee flavor but you definitely taste the coffee flavor on the first lick then followed by crunchy heath bar pieces. The Amaretto has a mild almond crème based flavor. The rum raisin is a mild crème based flavor with very light rum flavoring and raisins all throughout. Rum raisin is my all time favorite ice cream and I'm picky because it's hard to find one that's flavorful with right balance of soft raisin pieces in it. Thomas Sweet has done it right! They also had samples of the heath bar fudge which was really good. Smooth and flavorful. Their fudge always looks so fresh and tasty. I wish they would sell it in smaller portions. I just can't eat that much. I recommend giving it a try as well.

    This Georgetown gem doesn't disappoint. There are ample choices to satisfy each person in your party's preferences. The line even in winter is long, but it's worth it.

    Good and fair priced ice cream shop in Georgetown! They stay open really late which is a plus. Went at 9:30pm and there was a line. It seemed like they were the only place open at that time. We waited for about 20 min so it wasn't too bad. Plenty of seats for dine in (inside and out). There's a credit card minimum. The ice cream itself is very good! Lots of different flavors to choose from. I had the banana split and finished the whole thing by myself!

    Given the wrong flavor. When I mentioned it, they denied it. It was an obvious error. Birthday cake and cotton candy are nothing alike.

I've tried other DDL lattes from other coffee shops around the city and this one is by far the best. It's good hot and iced. The seasonal strawberry matcha is also very good. This place is great for the seasonal drinks and gelato flavors using local ingredients. My absolute favorite seasonal flavor is the Blackberries and Cream gelato. I ate it so much last summer that I could see the color of the gelato get darker as the season progressed and as the berries reached their peak. I got a few hand packed pints to keep in the freezer but they didn't last long. The mascarpone & berries is my favorite classic flavor. I've been to every Dolcezza location in DC and my favorite is the DuPont location. The baristas are chill and somehow their drinks taste better than the other locations. Not sure how that's possible but I notice a difference. I think it has something to do with how the drink order is entered at the register. At another location, I noticed my DDL latte was entered as a latte with DDL syrup and it was noticeably off. Not sweet at all. When I asked the barista he said there was no DDL button but at DuPont the drink is perfect every time. I'm not usually focused on nitpicking but if I'm paying $10 for a coffee, I expect the taste to be consistent regardless of location. Back to DuPont. This location has decent seating but definitely isn't appropriate for longer study sessions during busy times. There's a large communal table and bar style seating along the front window that is great for people watching (or construction watching). It's conveniently located, about a 10 minute walk away from the DuPont metro. Is Dolcezza expensive? Yes. Will I continue to use my discretionary income on $10 coffee and gelato. Yes, because it makes me happy and it's an act of self care.

Staff is great and will ask if you want to try and flavors. Gelato is fresh and you can taste the quality. It's almost rich, the taste is definitely better than other local chains.

Service The service here was great and very friendly. We were traveling in a large group, and the staff was able to accommodate all of us in a very timely manner. Which we really appreciated since we were on our way to a destination and had other family members meeting us at the metro station. Thanks to their quick service, we didn't keep anyone waiting. 3. The Ice Cream As a Wisconsinite, I am a bit of an ice cream and custard snob being from the dairy state! 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? Yes! The ice cream was really good plus the service was fast and friendly.

The ice cream is made with A2 dairy so it didn't hurt my stomach as a lactose intolerant girlie. The shop is super cute, especially outside, and makes for a good photo op.

During my visit, I sampled Ego Thelo Strawberry (a refreshing Mediterranean strawberry sorbet), Aegean Sun (Greek yogurt ice cream with sun-ripened apricot jam), and Mornings with Thea (creamy Greek yogurt ice cream swirled with traditional orange preserves). Each flavor was incredibly smooth and flavorful, but Mornings with Thea completely won me over. The tangy Greek yogurt paired perfectly with the sweet, citrusy orange preserves, creating a unique and refreshing flavor that kept me coming back for more. I loved it so much that I ordered a small two-scoop cup and even took home a pint to enjoy later. The only downside wasn't the shop itself--it was the unpleasant odor outside while we were enjoying our ice cream on the benches. It took away from what would have otherwise been a perfect outdoor experience, but thankfully the quality of the ice cream more than made up for it. If you're looking for something different from traditional ice cream, Yala's Greek yogurt creations are absolutely worth trying. I can't wait to come back and sample even more flavors!
