    Walking along Main Street in Laurel the other day, the signage grabbed our attention as we headed back from another establishment. We remebered noticing a whole line of people going into this place and we wondered what it was. As we came back the second time we saw that it was an ice cream parlor and they advertised the flavor of Dubai Strawberry. Of course Dubai anything is the rave nowadays and my friend wanted to stop in to see what it tasted like. We went in and looked around the shop which was cutely decorated and offered a lot of options from coffee to Banana Splits to waffles and sandwiches. My friend only wanted to sample the Strawberry Dubai so we waited in line and then when it was our turn, the young lady informed us it was more of a dessert that they created and not an ice cream flavor. I noticed that they did have Plpails of Hershey's ice cream and not ice cream they actually made themselves being offered, which was a little bit of a letdown. But hey, if you're in an ice cream mood, then this may be the place for you to go. It's not a custom place, meaning they don't make their own flavors but they do have some candies you can add in. I noticed multiple jars of candies on top of the ice cream display which had pictures of the actual candy inside because I'm guessing once the candy settles is not so appealing to look at. I did notice the gummy bears and there were other add-ins as well. If you're in the mood for ice cream and you're walking along Main Street, then sure definitely stop in. It didn't really tickle my fancy though. It's hard to rate this place since I didn't try any of their ice cream because it wasn't anything original but I will give them one star for curb appeal and one star for how cute the shop was and another star for their different offerings ‍

    Fast friendly delicious ice cream. What's not to love?! And they have the cutest little sign

    Super nice! The ice cream tastes good, not too sweet and the ladies are so patient, they speak Spanish and English, the energy in here is lovely. The menu looks small but their website shows everything they actually have! They have specials Monday-Thursday! All food is made hot and fresh~ definitely returning

    Strawberry ice cream w/ rainbow sprinkles

    Cute little ice cream shop with basic flavors and lots of topping options. I got a scoop of strawberry ice cream w/ rainbow sprinkles on a cake cone. It was solid. Not the most amazing ice cream I've ever had, but the location is near me and I would go back if I had an ice cream craving.

    This was a very disappointing experience, i was excited to try out their matcha based on what other people have shared and i was charged for something i didn't get. Go to Starbucks !

    It was a brownie sundae

    Took myself out for a quiet moment and stopped in GiGi's for a warm brownie sundae with Moose Tracks ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate and caramel syrup. As you can see, it was well loved. They have a quaint patio on the sidewalk for patrons to sit and eat. Located in Main Street in Laurel.

    Nestled on Main Street, America, lies a newly opened mom & pop Ice Cream shop -- in this case, owner Karelin is literally about to become a mom! But don't let the ice cream label fool you. On top of their 14 different ice creams (and 10 toppings), they have great coffee and espresso drinks; pastries for humans and their pup owners; and croissant and pannini sandwiches-- high honors to this pesto caprese pannini I'm munching on now. DC-ers, why come to Laurel? Driving Ranges then Ice Cream.

    The seating area is quaint and comfortable

    We live pretty close to Gigi's and enjoy stopping in sometimes for ice cream or coffee. It's always nice to stop in and see the friendly staff and have a quick chat. The cafe itself is a bit small. They have a couple of tables inside to eat at and the sort of foyer section has a seating area to wait/hang out. There are some picnic tables out front though. We haven't tried their sandwiches yet so I can't comment on that but the ice cream (which is Hershey's) and coffee are good. Unfortunately they don't have decaf espresso, only drip coffee. I would love to have the option to get a decaf cappuccino or latte but that's really my only gripe.

    They got Macha

    Saturday was my second time going to the ice cream shop. I attended the Main St. Festival and decided to stop at Gigi's. I ordered the turkey and cheese panini. It was very flavorful. It was nice and warm. Also, the bread was soft. I couldn't eat the whole sandwich so ate one half yesterday and the other half today for lunch. The service was great. I was greeted and my ordered was taken right away. I didn't have to wait long for my order. It's small inside. They have a few tables inside. They just build a small patio area where you can sit outside. They sell sandwiches, smoothies, desserts, etc.

    We were both in the mood for some ice cream! I wanted a cone with sprinkles cause I'm childish!! He wanted butter pecan! So we found ourselves looking for ice cream and we found Gigi's!! I made the mistake of getting a dairy free vegan choice! It wasn't soo great! Just the mouth feel of it and it was very sweet! I'll just pass on it next time! However, the cookies and cream was very good! He enjoyed his ice cream also! All in all, we enjoyed Gigi's! We sat outside and ate ice cream on a hot day! Very enjoyable!

"First, it will be her sisters. Stheno and Euryale. Gorgons...'Dread monsters' in the oldest texts....And yet, they have stayed by their sister's side, even though a glance from her would turn them into stone. That is love," Diana realizes, even as she contemplates that, soon, the misty cave floor under her feet will be beset with violence, meted out by Medusa's sisters, before Diana even gets a chance to explain that she is trespassing in the hopes of obtaining for Medusa the ultimate form of social justice: permanent chances for her to "look other soul[s] in the eyes...and be seen."

So far, my wife has enjoyed a life-sized latte with extra hot cardamom oat milk; a life-sized cafe au Lait with the same; an açaí bowl, minus the honey and adding kiwi, pineapple, and mango; and a life-sized Hollaback Girl latte. Meanwhile, I was thrilled to devour a banana, cinnamon, and vanilla frappe appropriately dubbed "Monkey Business."

However, I would say that the music plays from a little Bluetooth on the corner of the restaurant and it's not the greatest quality, would cut in and out, and it was just blaring way too loud, making it hard to have regular conversations. Service wasn't too bad overall. There was only one weight staff who had all the tables in the restaurant which made her spread out pretty thin. But we wouldn't get regular refills or Water and took so long to get water (waiting up to 20 min to try to get her attention) and at the end of our time together she finally gave us a pitcher of Water, but a little late as we're most done. Also, it took a while to get basic things we had ordered coffee but either she forgot to bring us coffee or she didn't ring it in and we weren't able to get it until after our food was delivered. So service, while she was friendly and kind, our service was definitely subpar. Hopefully this wasn't bc she had automatic tip bc our party was so large for her lack of service. 1/5 for service The food was amazing for the most part. I had gotten the salmon BLT and it was moist and tender with good flavor and seasoning, and the bread had a great texture and flavor to it as well. The bacon was nice and smoky and the sauce that was paired with it made it great. The hashbrowns were so crispy and seasoned with great flavor and salt! This was a winner! 4.5/5 Yeah, I got a bunch of other dishes, but I only tried small bites here and there of other people stuff. What I would say, is that the Cajun pasta shrimp was cooked perfectly and was tender and had great flavor! And that sauce was amazing! The sausage I tried wasn't the best but decent! We got biscuits and wings as appetizers, and the wings were great, good flavor, good crunch, and a decent size. However, there needs to be more wings in the order for the price. The hot honey sauce as good! 4/5 The biscuits were pretty moist and had a great texture and consistency, You get two for the order! 4/5 Overall, the food is pretty amazing. However, the service was pretty bad. Maybe this was a one off but just prepared for a long waits for everything from water to getting a drink order.

Occasionally I'll get an almond croissant and enjoy it if there's seating. On nice days, there are benches right outside, even with a view of the parking lot and the construction across the street, it can be nice. I enjoy this location, though parking is tight. If you're not lucky enough to get a spot, you can park next door in the paid lot behind the businesses right past Vigilante.

There was also a beautiful mural. In terms of food, I was really excited to try both the sweet and savory crepes. There was one couple ahead of us who walked in at the same time as us, so while their order was being made, we perused the menu. There was only one employee at the shop making the crepes so their order took awhile (they waited at least 15 minutes for two crepes). We finally got to put our order in and the employee said it'll be 15 mins for what we ordered (chicken & shrooms crepe, shrimply the best crepe, and s'mores crepe). Each crepe is moderately priced but I was pleasantly surprised at how big the crepes were. However, while we were waiting for ours to be made, the couple who got their order ahead of ours came back saying there was a foreign object in their crepe and they wanted a refund because they had no time to wait for a new one to be made. The employee seemed to not be sure how to refund the order and had to make a call which made our wait even longer. It also made me a little nervous for what I'd find in my crepe - but our crepes seemed okay. The employee also forgot to make our s'mores crepe so there was more of a wait for that, but we dined in so it wasn't a huge deal. The service overall could be improved with better staff training and just more staff in general to handle orders even on what they might think is a slow day. We eventually got our crepes and the shrimp crepe was delicious and had a little spicy kick to it which i loved. It also had a little salad in there so half the crepe was cold which I didn't love but could deal with. The chicken & mushroom crepe was also fantastic and had even more flavor and a kick to it. The s'mores crepe was also a perfect sweet finisher to the meal. All things considered, I'd come back once in a blue moon, but once they add more staff and have a more efficient process, I'd come back more often for those delicious crepes.
