After a lovely anniversary dinner, we decided to have dessert at Tipsy Scoop. We found street parking on I St. NW, a few feet from the store. It's small inside but we were the only customers. That allowed us to take our time and try a few flavors before deciding on which we would have. To be clear, this is ice cream with alcohol in it, so not for kids! Great for adults, though. I selected Elvis Whiskey Midnight Snack, which is Banana ice cream infused with Elvis Whiskey Midnight snack (peanut butter-banana-bacon whiskey) and swirled with gooey peanut butter. Oh yes, delightful, very creamy and tasty! My husband got the Dark Chocolate Whiskey Salted Caramel. Delish! We had to take home a pint: Spiked Mint Chip. This is a higher priced ice cream place so it will be saved for special treats, but I highly recommend. read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon and there were not many people inside. I have wanted to try this place for a long time since it is so unique and I've never heard anything like it! The worker was so so kind and gave me two samples: the mint chocolate and cherry blossom. The alcohol taste was not very strong in the mint chocolate which is why I ended up ordering it since I did not want to eat bitter ice cream. The cherry blossom had a really strong whiskey taste which was not what I enjoyed but if you like whiskey, this flavor would be absolutely perfect! There is only street parking available so if you come on a weekend, it will take some time to find parking. Their bathroom is pretty clean and the interior was mostly pink, which is my favorite color and very enjoyable for an ice cream shop! I am also very glad they offered samples of whatever I wanted to try and the worker did not get impatient when I took my time to grab multiple samples. Since covid, most ice cream shops I have visited no longer offer samples, so I was pleasantly surprised to see tipsy scoop does. Samples are so important for deciding what to get so I highly recommend picking a few flavors to see what you like, especially since some flavors have strong alcohol tastes and others do not. read more

Tipsy Scoop - Mint chocolate chip waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Tipsy Scoop is a super fun ice cream experience! I visited the Chinatown location with my friend after work and we LOVED the bright decor all around. With this being our first time at the store, the cashier was so kind and gave us a variety of samples before we landed on our picks. Besides Mint Chip, I really enjoyed the Mango Margarita sorbet, Hazelnut Coffee, and Salted Caramel. I ended up getting the Spiked Mint Chocolate Chip that was deliciously creamy. The mint wasn't too overpowering and had many chocolate chunks within it. The sundaes and cocktails looked divine! Fantastic place to visit with friends, family, and co-workers for Happy Hour. Loved supporting this Black Owned Business and will be back very soon! read more

Tipsy Scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Two of my joys, ice cream and alcohol. Best combo after dinner downtown. We tried the flight, which was a great idea to try four flavors. The sundaes sounds so yummy. We wanted the chocolate one, but they ran out of the coffee ice cream. Guess it's a popular one. Next time. The inside is a bit too small. The one four top table is right in the center so people in line are all around you, trying to come in on one spade and exit on the other. read more

Tipsy Scoop - Tipsy Scoop Flight - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Toplines - Service is great, everyone is so friendly. There isn't much seating and the inside is a bit cramped, so be prepared to wait in line and eat your treat on the go. Lots of flavors that all sound delicious, including a selection of vegan sorbets. No one in my party could taste any alcohol in their choices, so don't come prepared to get tipsy. Still a refreshing treat with a lot of unique flavor combos to try. read more

Tipsy Scoop - Mint chocolate chip (upper) and strawberry white sangria (lower) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Pretty good boozy ice cream, but not completely sure if it's worth the wait and cramped space to get. For the flight, you need a table to get it and it was extremely crowded, so we had to fight for a seat before ordering and the staff didn't really care if we struggled to find a seat or not, kind of giving us a "that's your issue, not mine" tone when explaining it to us, which I thought wasn't the most kind. A little too crowded to enjoy the ambiance here but I'd say it's worth trying out at least once. read more

Tipsy Scoop - Flight - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

We'd taken a trip to DC specifically to try this place and were super excited. We planned the trip two months out! We arrived and there was a line out the door and down the street, which was to be expected. Upon entering we realized there were a few seats that bordered the window near the door and a table or two on the left hand side near the door. The way the store is set up it's not really designed to host dine-in guests or long lines. The guest service was poor. The employees made us feel like we were bothering them. They were lackluster and sloppy in their work. We had to repeat our order to the server three times. We watched as one of the servers arm grazed the top of the ice cream and she still served it to the customer. We then watched our ice cream melt on the side of our flight while the worker replaced ice cream in the case. The flights to go are served in small plastic shot glasses and then put in egg cartons. As we were waiting in line outside we saw a woman drop hers exiting the premises so we were on guard about ours knowing that the plastic cups inside the egg cartons didn't sufficiently hold those cups. We talked about this at length because we felt bad for the woman knowing that she wasted $4 - $5 as it wasn't likely they would've replaced it if she'd gone in and told them what happened. They really should just put the ice cream in the egg cartons itself for better stability. Despite our efforts, we also dropped one once we'd gotten in the car because the plastic cups were just so slick in the egg carton they didn't stand a chance. We were asked if we wanted our flight to dine in or to go. We thought nothing of this question and said to-go as dining in wasn't an option because the seating is minimal so our only real option was to have it to go. Once getting to the register, we noticed the total was a little over $20 for the $16 flight and asked if the $4 was all taxes and fees. We were then told there was a $3 up charge for flights to go. That isn't posted anywhere in the displayed pricing and they do not tell you upon asking you whether you want to dine in or want it to go. Good business practice would be to ask the question and in that same breath share all of the relevant information needed to make that decision, which includes the price differential. Again, it wasn't the $3 so much as it was how they went about it all. The ice cream is mediocre at best and you can barely taste any alcohol. We are quite the ice cream lovers and frequent ice cream shops, so, we have had our fair share of tastings and this fell flat. We struggled to tell the difference between the Vanilla Bean Bourbon and Cake Batter Vodka Martini, and were just generally underwhelmed and disappointed with the service but also the product. read more

Boozy ice cream!!!! Had someone time to visit my brother at work today and also try out the viral tipsy scoop in dc. It's a very chic ice cream parlour serving boozy ice cream only to people who are 21+ up so sorry kids. My brother allowed me to try many samples until I decided on the raspberry limoncello sorbet. This was the most flavorful and refreshing flavor to me and I'm glad I got It. Apparently they have happy hour where you get two scoops for the price of one. Overall It was a great time and I enjoyed my time there read more

Tipsy Scoop D.C. is a novel but overrated ice cream shop. Located in the heart of Chinatown, it's a small store serving boozy flavors and large scoops. The workers are nice and there are plenty of flavor options! I tried their cherry blossom and spiked hazelnut. They were good but nothing to rave about. Whiskey was an odd choice and didn't work for the cherry blossom ice cream. The prices are reasonable ($9 for two big scoops). I don't think the ice cream is worth the wait or calories, and I don't think the hype is justified. Better off going to Dolcezza or another nearby ice cream shop. read more

This is some awesomely creamy and tasty ice cream! There was a big line when we came in on a weekend, which we waited in for maybe 30 minutes. The ice cream sundaes were amazing and would totally recommend the Tequila Sunrise one. That was perfectly light and flavorful and couldn't taste the alcohol at all! We also ordered the boozy breakfast which had more classic flavors. If I had to go back, I'd probably get the Tequila Sunrise because the fruity flavor was the best. Prices are a little steep but there is booze in the ice cream so it feels fair. read more

This is a small business in DC, if you are looking for a place to sit down and have a treat then plan to go on days when it's most likely not too busy, service is a little slow too. You are allowed to try 3 flavors before you purchase. The ice cream is alright and the presence of alcohol is not all that overpowering. Definitely a cute date idea if in the capital read more

I heard about this place and decided to stop in during their happy hour. The place itself is small and not really any seating with a ton of people working there. The cake batter, vanilla, and dark chocolate were all good and the coffee one was ok. I think you can really only taste alcohol in the vanilla bean bourbon. It was interesting to try but not sure if I would really want to go back. read more

This place is so cute! My friend and I discovered it on Instagram and decided to check it out after being at a Smithsonian museum earlier in the day. The service was excellent. There was a like going out the door but the workers handled it well and they were very friendly and professional. The only complaint I have is that the venue is extremely small so there is not a lot of seating and it gets cramped. We were there on a rainy day so there were probably more people than usual there otherwise I'm sure you could just stand outside and eat. I got the vanilla bean bourbon ice cream and it did not disappoint! read more

Tipsy Scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've been following Tipsy Scoop coming to DC for months. I was super excited to try it. We got lucky and only had to wait about 20 minutes. We stopped by soon after they opened. Today is a chilly and rainy day so I think that worked in our favor. Luckily there is a big awning on the building next door that helped keep us dry. Space/location: there is a parking garage next door and limited street parking on the street outside. The shop is small with about 10 barstool hight seats. If it's busy I wouldn't want to stay and eat. It was pretty congested in there. Ice cream: They have a good amount of options. I LOVED the Whisky sour skittle flavor but it's only available for a limited time. The vanilla bourbon was very tasty as well. We also enjoyed the sangria flavor. We wanted to try the Mexican hot chocolate but they were all out of it. There are a number of ways you can get your ice cream. This first time we just got scoops but definitely want to go back and try a sundae or ice cream sandwich. Other: They have a bunch of ciders and hard seltzers. We bought a few to take homes. I think everything but the flights can be made to go but they didn't have lids for the ice cream cups which wasn't ideal for travel. Accessibility: The entrance is accessible. They only have bar height seating which isn't ideal. The space is small so it may be hard to maneuver in a wheel chair or scooter. read more

Happy to know that the DC location is a Black woman-owned franchise. Got invited to preview Tipsy Scoop's amazing line up of infused ice creams and sorbets. I was thoroughly impressed with the flavors and how good they were. It's also nice that they have alcohol free options. The infused ice creams and sorbets only have 5% alcohol as well. read more

This place is cute! 5 stars for customer service and novelty, 3 stars for actual ice cream - it's totally fine, but not quite as good as regular ice cream. Still, a cute place in a convenient location, and staff were so sweet on my friend's birthday! read more

I love unique places like this. Not sure what the actual alcohol content is but the flavor of each icecream was delicious.

The vibe in here is phenomenal. Keep in mind you must be 21+ to indulge. The staff is beyond helpful and knowledgeable of not only the menu but also the pairing options of their various flavors. The hours of operation are very convenient and they happy hour offers great options to try different flavors, flights, cocktails and Sundays. The venue is very intimate. But still offers indoor seating. There is music playing, conversation, plenty of laughter and frozen libations. I have been twice since finding out about this spot. And I plan to return more and more. I advise anyone in the Chinatown area to do the same. read more

I have always loved the locations in New york so I was excited to hear about this one opening up in Dc!! The workers were very nice and understanding, we sampled a lot of flavors. Everything was too tasty lol read more

This location just opened and there's always a long line but the last time I walked by there was no line so I thought I'd try it. 3 employees and only 3 customers yet service was soooooo slow! That's why there is a line, not actual demand. I got my ice cream then moved over to the register to pay and no one paid any attention to me as I waited a very long time for someone to come over to check me out. They check everyone's ID even if you are grown. I got one scoop of vanilla bourbon ice cream for $7.15 and could not taste the bourbon. I see the other reviews also mention the lack of liquor taste. In one review someone called this Turkey Hill and that is an accurate description. See the ice cream is soft, like slightly melted, I like it that way, but you would assume that is because of the addition of the alcohol yet I tasted none. Not even a strong vanilla flavor, just basic ice cream. Some of the flavors were out of stock. Jeni's on 14th and U is a busy store and never out of stock and they have a lot more flavors. read more

This is exactly what is sounds like. Fun, cocktail themed ice cream sundaes. Very expensive, especially for the fun cups and elaborate concoctions. Ice cream is delicious though, we got a single scoop of a number of flavors and enjoyed it. The alcohol taste is definitely present, but made it something different and wasn't too much. Fun thing to do if you're in the area. Small place and usually pretty crowded, so not likely to sit inside and enjoy. read more

We came to Tipsy Scoop to try to celebrate my friends birthday and everywhere on google says they're open till 10 pm. We traveled about an hour to get here from MD and arrived at 7:00 pm to find out it was closed and it was so disappointing. **update after owner commented** We got to DC from MD where it was raining and snowing and ice was forming on the roads. We traveled 41 mins from there and DC did not have a speck of snow or rain anywhere. I understand inclement weather, however, there were other businesses open surrounding the store and google said it was open and online pickup was still available for the day. A sign should've been posted or some kind of social media update would've been helpful for other customers trying to come and purchase items. read more

I would recommend this place! I went in on a Friday at the start of happy hour and I was immediately served! Ice creams did not have a strong liquor taste at all.!

My husband found it on Google (even though I have double check here. We wanted to go. I was nervous because I don't like the alcohol to take over something in the desert and I could taste rubbing alcohol yuck. It was the opposite of that which was boozy but really it was yummy. Nia (sorry I should have remembered I did it that I wrote it the next day) was super nice and friendly plus helpful telling us all about the place please the ice cream you can tell in the passion she has. The place is charming and cute. I'm surprised there was not more because it was a convention week. Anyway I tried the Mexican hot chocolate tequila and Rich had a salted caramel whiskey which tried that too samples permit and it was good but I think and have to be 21 to consume (I know and or duh)I know one thing you can do is a good boozy dessert and not taste like rubbing alcohol. They offer toppings so I got sprinkles, to me I know we will come back again read more
