    Be aware of the very small portions of ice cream scoops they serve to customers! ‍ Two scoops of ice cream for about $6.49 I go to this location pretty often and was shocked when seeing this transpire..

    Salted caramel toffee crunch regular ice cream

    Visited on their grand opening day, so they're still working out some service kinks but overall a great experience. They offer a wide variety of ice cream flavors as well as sorbets, Italian ice and oat milk based vegan ice cream, all made fresh daily. Tried a hot fudge brownie made with the vegan cookies & cream ice cream and was pleasantly surprised by the large chunks of real Oreo in the ice cream which had a good flavor overall. The hot fudge sauce was rich and delicious and the brownie is thick and fudgy. Also sampled their salted caramel toffee crunch ice cream which was likewise delicious and studded with bits of toffee. Window service and outdoor tables only at this location. The wait was around 5 minutes from placing order to receiving both items. There is a reasonable amount of on-site parking in the plaza.

    Good ice cream but expensive. Lots of options for creating combinations. Location in Haymarket does offer some coupons to cut cost.

    Very very small scoop of ice cream for the money! The ice cream was good but not for the amount of money it cost and the small portions!

    Met a friend at 1971 Coffee in Haymarket and immediately fell in love with this spot. The pistachio…read morelatte was absolutely heavenly--easily one of the best I've had. The owner is from Colombia, and there's a beautiful portrait in the shop representing coffee from her family's farms, which adds such a personal and meaningful touch. This place is as charming as it gets--cozy, welcoming, and thoughtfully curated. Great coffee, delicious sweets, and a solid selection of sandwiches. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

    BLUF: Lots of kinks in customer service and operations need to be worked out. Food was ok. Coffee…read moreitself was rather acidic but espresso drinks with all the extras added were more appealing. Cute shop but service negatively affected the overall experience. Walking in, we liked the vibe. The place is tight on space and it gets very busy and crowded on weekends. This coffeehouse has potential, but they're not showing their best right now. Bait and switch: Based on their menu, we did not at all receive what we were anticipating. It sounded so delicious on the menu. However, what we got was not what was posted and not one of the staff told us that they were out of what we ordered. Not at the time of ordering, not while we waited forever to get our food, not when the food finally came out. Some food was brought to us, some sat out on the counter forever (because the buzzers don't work) where other customers picked up their orders. Who knows how much spit ended up on the food! We kept munching and kept thinking something is missing. We looked under the bread and didn't see what was stated on the menu so we finally asked and were told they were out of what we ordered. Absolutely unacceptable but useless at this point after waiting 20+ minutes for sandwiches and beverages and being faced by someone extremely unapologetic and unmotivated to correct the situation. So, prices definitely not worth what you get here. Hit or miss in terms of food and beverages for both quality and taste. Disappointing that the coffee was so sour and bitter tasting. Hoping for a nice smooth cup. Everything we ordered and customer service received here...unreliable at best. Worth the drive? Nope. If in the immediate area and needing caffeine, maybe, but definitely not worth going out of your way. Parking tight on the weekends. Was so hoping to love this place because we need more independent warm, cozy, welcoming coffeehouses. But service, food, coffee at this point were all very disappointing. Big improvements in all areas? Well, maybe we'll return and try again, but the poor first impression received on this visit will be hard to motivate a return in order to improve this rating and review.

That is my favorite kind of sundae in the whole entire world, and they are so rare around here. I got banana ice cream with all the fixins. It was amazing. The staff was friendly and kind too. Two scoops of ice cream wasn't that much ice cream, but it was just the perfect amount when combined with all the other stuff like the whipped cream, cherry, sprinkles, and of course the waffle itself. There is both indoor and outdoor seating here. So sit where you want, depending on the weather. I would highly recommend this totally awesome place!

    As an Oreos/Cookies & Cream fan, I had high expectations, especially for a local place. I ordered…read morethe Cookies & Cream Milkshake and was very disappointed. The milkshake was too watery/milky that I didn't even finish it. I hope it was just the milk and not the ice cream, because a place with this store name should do it justice. The Cookies & Cream cookies was pretty good, nothing special if I'm comparing it to a 7-11. It's soft and tasted homemade, but it didn't stand out for me. The service was good: a young lady helped with my order with a smile and seemed happy to help. The interior of the shop looks exactly like the exterior, a house. The tables were old and wooden, but still looked good enough to use. There were fun, colorful decorations and awards throughout the place.
