Georgetown Scoops

Quaint little ice cream shop with friendly staff. I thought it was a little expensive for ice-​cream out of a carton but I guess this is Georgetown, gotta pay that rent. They do have outside seating on the sidewalk along the street which is great during nice weather

Tried the vietnamese coffee from someone else, tasted fine. Nothing amazing. The dream/​layer bar though is quite delicious.

Under new management I think… The ice cream still has a great creamy texture, but the salted caramel is no longer what it used to be… There is barely any caramel in there anymore! :-(

I LOVE this place! And my husband does too! He spends what feels like almost every waking hour there! Great ice cream and even better service! Too bad it’s so pricey :/

Some of the best Ice Cream I have eaten! Mine was Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookie Dough, with huge chunks of Cookie Dough, and it was so good, especially since it was a hot day!

Don’t waste your time. The staff is incompetent. They leave up signs for ice cream flavors they haven’t had in months! When you place an order, you’re lucky if they serve you the correct one. On top of all this, their cones are stale and the staff is miserable! What a disgrace and frankly a disservice to the community!

I was pleasantly surprised at their selection and desserts here. It was a tiny shop and they had sweet and savory crepes here. They also had a great selection of ice cream.
I tried their lavender and green tea ice cream and both were really good.

COME HERE FOR YOUR ICE CREAM NEEDS! I was desperate for dessert when I was in Georgetown because for some freak reason, everything closes at 9pm. Stumbled across this little gem since it was open till 11pm and I do not regret coming here one bit.
The two guys behind the counter were so extremely friendly and accommodating– they were Morocco and my friends and I spoke with them for a good 10 minutes about our whereabouts.
I got the Lavender ice cream on a cone and the kind man giving me scoops gave me a lil extra since we were from NYC (and groovin’ out to the music)!
Great end to a great night.

Got a scoop of the coconut ice cream. It was delicious, the toasted coconut throughout made it a winner. $ 4 for one scoop.

Awesome ice cream, great service!
The salted caramel is amazing and delicious. My favorite place to go for ice cream.

I liked the flavor offerings here. The guy working didn’t greet my friend, her sister, and me when we came in but he seemed ok letting us sample things. Sad to say I can’t remember what flavors I got (maybe a green tea and a chocolate-​y thing). It was expensive, $ 6.59, after tax for two scoops, but the flavors were good and the texture was great.
We were able to sit outside and watch people walking to and from Georgetown. I wish this place had public restrooms and served water.
While they accept credit cards, there is a $ 5.00 minimum.

I got a small (1 scoop) lavender ice cream. IT. SMELLS. DIVINE. But I think because it smelled so amazing, I felt let down by the just good flavor. In fact, the taste lacked much lavender flavor at all, ESPECIALLY compared to the amazing fragrance. Also, I can see this place getting backed up REAL fast if they only have one guy working as they did last night. My friend got the Vietnamese coffee and it tasted like coffee ice cream but better: D
ALSO I found out they have crepes here and now I have a new crepes place to try out next time I’m craving them.

Really nice shop with friendly service. We tried the Green Tea ice cream and also the Vietnamese iced coffee ice cream. The texture of the ice cream was soft and creamy. The Green Tea tasted a little to strongly of Matcha powder for me but wad still very good. The Vietnamese Ice Coffee was good also. The only reason for only 3 stars as these 2 flavors lacked the wow factor. Still a very good little place for iced cream or crepes.

Seriously delicious ice cream– I tried a couple and had a hard time deciding– I personally really liked the green tea, Vietnamese coffee and lavender, but ended up with Vietnamese coffee (single scoop). How often do you find that flavor in DC? Really good!
Note: my friend tried the lavender and thought it tasted like her pillow spray. I like lavender so I actually liked it though!

This place gets three stars for cuteness+1 star for their ice cream.
The only thing I thought was odd, was they didn’t offer me any samples to try. There was NO ONE else in the place. I think the cashier was too busy watching the football game. We tried the pumpkin and double chocolate, both were excellent. The portion you get is also solid for the price, especially for the location.
Cute little shop, sweet date spot for ice cream, and yummy ice cream.

Pros:
The charge for sprinkles ($ 0.75) was waived for me.
Cons:
–The scooped ice cream was so soft I immediately questioned the strength of their freezer. (Yikes, I hope my mint choco chip didn’t come with a side of bacteria!)
–Their policy of «no samples if customers are waiting» is moronic. Ice cream shops of all places should offer samples, especially when you sell unusual flavors like they do. Once a customer’s turn is up, you should give them your full attention and let them sample your ice cream, don’t look past at the line behind them! Nothing would make them feel less important, sheesh.
–The cones are so stale I thought I accidentally chomped into the cardboard box they were shipped in. TERRIBLE.
–Price. At $ 4 for a single scoop, it’s simply not worth it.

This place is adorable! It does not have a huge space, but it has a huge selection of ice cream and sorbet. They have unfortunately discontinued their cupcakes as of 3 weeks ago. Sorry folks. It was to my understanding they were pretty good and a heck of a lot better than Georgetown Cupcake, which actually, doesn’t take a lot of effort since Georgetown Cupcake is overpriced and over marketed for a mediocre product.
Anyway, I came here with my friends to what the hoopla was about. They have a wide selection of ice cream, sorbet, coffee, and smoothies. I sort of went crazy and opted for 3 flavors in one cup. I was totally surprised that they had flavors I’d never seen before like ginger ice cream and lavender ice cream! The lavender must be a favorite because they were out of it. They had just enough for a sampling, but not for a whole scoop. It was tasty and definitely on my list of flavors to try when I go back.
For this trip (my first time at that), I got the lemon sorbet, ginger ice cream, and black cherry ice cream. The scoops were delicious and separate in the scoops, but when I mixed them together they turned out to be awesome! The ginger is not overwhelming and doesn’t leave a lingering taste in your mouth like some ginger flavored items I’ve had. My friend described the lemon sorbet as a frozen lemonade pop. It is a subtle lemon flavor with just enough pop to it for you to enjoy it; not over the top lemony which I wouldn’t like. The black cherry probably would be most appreciated if it was in a scoop in its own instead of put with other things. I say this especially because the texture for one is different from the sorbet; and 2. it is just so darn tasty! I’d say that was my favorite flavor of the three.
The staff are friendly and are more than willing to give you as many sample flavors as you would like to try. Just note, there is a sign that specifies that they will not administer samples if there is a line. We got here in the nick of time because as soon as we got out and started eating our ice cream, a line formed and more people starting rolling in almost immediately after we vacated.
As far as the space itself, it is very small and quaint. They have a couple of tables for standing, but no sitting inside. They have seating outside of it with a few tables and chairs. Might I add the music that is playing in there was a great mix. They had MGMT to Ellie Goulding — my type of stuff playing from an iPod. There is not a public restroom either, so just make note of that as well.
Come enjoy this perfect little Georgetown hot spot. Great for a simple date night or bringing your kids in for an after dinner treat.

This place has good ice cream. I’m not a huge fan of the sign that says «no samples when there is a line” — what if you really want to try stuff?
I got a coffee chocolate/​mint chocolate chip sundae, and it was very yummy, but the service wasn’t super friendly.
Solid ice cream, but certainly not mind-​blowing.

On our way into Georgetown, I see Georgetown Scoops in my peripheral vision. I knew that this is a stop as we leave Georgetown. I ordered their most interesting flavor: Ginger Peach Brandy Ice Cream –a peach brandy base with candied ginger throughout.
They also offer cupcakes, which you can have with your ice cream order. Unfortunately their cupcakes simply cannot compete against the other Georgetown cupcakeries.

If nothing else, Washington, DC, is a bastion of cupcake boutiques and cupcake houses masquerading as coffee shops. I wandered by Georgetown Scoops while getting a lay of M Street. Seeing that all of the other cupcake shops were teeming with people or there were long lines waiting to go into the shops, I roamed back towards the direction of Georgetown Scoops. Ice cream. Gelato. Small selection of cupcakes. Hipsters behind the counter.
Red velvet seems to be their popular cupcake item and that was what I settled on the first visit … and on the second and third visits. I cannot speak to the taste of their other products, but the do the cupcakes right. Even if they use Duncan Hines, Pillsbury, or Betty Crocker for the batter.
