    LAST STOP on the For the Culture: DMV Food Tour...DESSERT! Tipsy Scoop was the very last stop of the tour, and honestly, the concept is GENIUS. Boozy ice cream with all kinds of different flavors, plus non-alcoholic options for people like me who don't drink. ‍ We were given three samples as part of the tour (don't ask me the names because I absolutely forgot ). I also bought two additional pints to take home with my own money, so clearly the ice cream passed the test! It was good, not overly sweet, and even the alcohol-infused samples weren't so strong that I couldn't tolerate them as a non-drinker. The shop itself is VERY tiny and was SUPER busy, with customers constantly coming in and out. The communication between the tour and Tipsy Scoop, however, was...interesting. The staff apparently didn't know our group was coming, and that was actually shared with another paying customer while we were there. There also wasn't much direction from the tour hosts, so our entire group basically walked into this tiny shop at once. Now, I completely understand why that was a problem. We were a LARGE group taking up a lot of space in an already packed store. What I didn't love was how the manager essentially kicked our group out. I understood the need to clear the space, but the delivery could've been handled a little better. At the same time, based on what we were told, it didn't appear Tipsy Scoop had been properly prepared for a whole food tour to descend upon their tiny store. So I'm not putting the tour's coordination issues on Tipsy Scoop. As a business, I liked the concept, enjoyed what I tried, appreciated having a non-alcoholic options, AND left with two more pints. Would I return? Maybe. Just not with an entire tour bus behind me.

    Cookies and cream flavor - non-alcoholic

    Delicious boozy ice cream, fun to try! There are about a dozen boozy flavors with 5% alcohol and 4 non-alcoholic flavors. Some flavors are more booze forward than others. Best of all, sprinkles are complimentary! Before committing to a flavor, definitely try a sample. The ice cream was so good that I came back twice in a week! There are also non- The Tequila Hot Chocolate was hands-down my favorite flavor and seriously tasted like hot chocolate with a dash of tequila. The Spiked Cotton Candy was among my top picks and on the sweeter side compared to the Cake Batter Vodka Martini, which both have a subtle hint of vodka. The Vanilla Bourbon had a strong note of Bourbon. The Spiked Hazelnut Coffee and Dark Chocolate Whiskey Salted Caramel were pretty subtle. The 1st time I went, I got those 2 flavors and honestly wasn't that impressed. I'm so glad I went back and tried other flavors. The staff is super nice particularly the owner, Danielle Hatchett and her mom. They kindly and patiently let me have a few samples and her son is adorable, nice to see a working mama! Not sure what happened with the happy hour? There used to be some deals a couple of years ago that seem to disappear. Excited to come back for some scoops and try cocktails!

    Stayed in DC for the annual bike ride and promised my 5yo some ice cream. We walked about 10 minutes after just casually searching on yelp and finding Tipsy Scoop cause I'd never heard of such a thing and didn't bother to read the reviews. I didn't realize it was an adults ice cream shop. Thankfully they had chocolate and cookies and cream w/o alcohol so I could provide the promised ice cream to my kiddo. The staff were super friendly. The shop is a quaint little place with limited seating and a small cup was $8.50 which I found to be quite pricey but it was good nonetheless. I'd definitely go back with some adult friends and try some of their signature sundaes. I ended up with the tequila Mexican hot chocolate ice cream. It was fantastic.

    After enjoying the Beerfest at Na t s stadium we capped off the evening with a visit to Tipsy scoops. We arrived in the evening and many nods the non milk screams were sold-out. However, the young lady at the counter indicated they had one sherbet type that she thought I would enjoy ..and she was absolutely correct. Numerous varieties were offered on the menu both milk based and non milk based products. Please ensure you bring identification because they do check to ensure you are at the age for consumption of alcohol products (get it...Tipsy). Seating was available inside and out. However, parking in the immediate area is a premium. However, there are parking garages in the immediate area. The young ladies were pleasant and customer focused. If and when in the DC area, please take a moment to treat yourself to a visit The sign inside says it all, Ice-cream sounds everything!!!

    I recently visited Tipsy Scoop for the first time and honestly had a really fun experience. The concept of boozy ice cream is such a cute and unique idea, and the atmosphere was fun and inviting. I ended up trying the Cake Batter Vodka Martini flavor and loved it -- it was flavorful, creamy, and definitely worth trying if it's your first visit.

    As soon as we entered we were greeted with colorful walls and vibrant decorations. The staff was super friendly and let us know that she'd be happy to give us 4 samples. After trying various flavors we decided on the flight as I wanted to try more of them! All of the flavors I choose were to my liking and my friend loved hers so much that she took home a pint! I'm super excited for the Baltimore location to open!

    Tipsy scoop is an amazing experience in the NW area of Washington DC. They offer a wide variety of boozy ice cream options to include flights! If your local or have the ability to travel with a cooler you can also buy pints to go. The inside is a bit small but the decor and service is amazing. You can hardly taste the liquor in the ice cream and it's more of an art with the creations that they offer! My must stop when visiting DC.

    Went on two separate occasions and they were out of stock of basically all the sorbets each time. One time they one had one flavor of the sorbet second time they had two flavors. But no mango , cherry blossom, or strawberry . Only had raspberry sorbet. Had many of the icecream ones minus the second time didn't have the hazel nut one. So couldn't do the speciality flavors I wanted the tequila sunrise . And it wasn't enough of one of the flavors for the flight. It was good just need to be better stocked especially when it's not even cold yet . Place is cute just small. Service is good they are nice.

    My third time here and this place NEVER disappoints Make sure to try the flavors! It's very hard to pick a favorite because they are ALL good! Make sure you stop by!!!

    My friend was in town and wanted to try this spot, and I'm glad we did! The temps were in the 80s, so it was the perfect time for something cool. I love the concept here with ice cream or sorbet paired with alcohol like tequila or whiskey. I sampled several flavors, and while I was hoping to love the chocolate with whiskey and salted caramel (it ended up tasting more like plain chocolate cream), the raspberry limoncello with tequila was a winner. It was light, refreshing, and really delicious. The service was great too! Our cashier was amazing...she gave us suggestions on what to try and let us sample flavors until we found the perfect one. A fun bonus was getting to sign the signature wall, which added to the experience. Overall, I'd recommend stopping by if you're looking for a unique treat.

    Vanilla Bean Bourbon
    Peter D.

    I decided to try this place after passing by the store several times throughout my time in DC. I decided to sample some flavors before I finally decided on the vanilla bean bourbon. I will say the scoop of ice cream was good, but respectfully, I will not go out of my way for a $9 ice cream scoop anytime soon. The staff inside was friendly and was very encouraging for me to sample all my interested flavors. Indoors, there are seats for patrons and interestingly enough, receives a decent amount of sunlight. Although I am glad I went to this shop, I will probably come by every once in a while due to its price and other ice cream options in the area.

    I recently checked out Tipsy Scoop for the 1st time. I got to meet the owner Danielle who has a great vibe. They serve liquor-infused sundaes, ice cream cocktails, and flights . It also has vegan and Non-alcoholic flavors available for kids and non-drinkers. They recently launched their Boozy Holiday Flight Experience, so I stopped in to try their newest seasonal flavors and trust me, it's worth the visit. They host monthly Ice Cream Cocktail Mixology Classes. I'll definitely be back.

    White strawberry sangria; raspberry limoncello
    Shakira R.

    Whenever I am in the DMV, I try to cross one of the places off my list). This time, I visited Tipsy Scoop (TS). TS locations are called barlours, a combination of the words "bar" and "ice parlors" (the British spelling of parlors). The DC location is one of seven company-owned locations. I am somewhat lactose intolerant and need to avoid high-lactose foods, so I was initially worried that I would only have one flavor to enjoy. However, when I visited this location, I found four vegan and dairy-free options available. I decided to try a scoop of each: raspberry limoncello and strawberry white sangria sorbets. Both flavors were delightful! I was especially surprised by the raspberry limoncello, considering that I had a limoncello in Italy last summer that I did not enjoy. You have the options of scoops/pints, sandwiches, sundaes, cocktails (both with and without ice cream), cakes, and flights. There are also non-alcoholic flavors always available for children and non-drinkers.

As someone who works in the industry and is very familiar with coffee and coffee shops, I was genuinely shocked by how rude and unprofessional the staff was. I ordered a house latte with an extra double shot, which made it a quad shot, and I also paid for extra ice and requested that it be served in a large cup. It wasn't a complicated order. When I saw a drink come up, I politely asked, "Is that mine by any chance?" The barista immediately told me to "hush" and said, "I'm not talking to you." I found that incredibly disrespectful and completely unacceptable. When my drink was finally handed to me, I simply asked if the quad shot had been added since I had paid extra for it. Instead of answering my question, the barista ignored me entirely, and another employee had to respond. The employee, Taleisha Young, who was wearing glasses, was especially rude throughout the interaction. No customer should be spoken to that way, especially when they're simply asking about an order they paid extra to customize. Customer service and professionalism should be a priority, and this experience fell far below that standard. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and I will be sharing my experience on other review platforms as well. I hope management addresses the behavior of its staff so other customers don't have a similar experience.

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.
