    One sunny weekend when the temperature was hot, I thought since I was in the area, I would come and…read moretry something different. As I drove in the lot, I could tell the place was busy (a line in their drive-thru and lots of folks at the entrance (ordering or picking up, I was not sure). I was willing to wait. I saw they had some June specials and a few caught my eye: Brookie - Upside Down Pineapple Cake Jamaican Me Crazy Key Lime Pie Mixed Berry Cheesecake Strawberry Matcha Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Ube There were some others, but I could not decide on which one I wanted (wished I could try all the above). I settled on the one called "Jamaican Me Crazy". The employee described it as: Coconut Ice Cream with Fudge Swirl and Almonds. I only got 1 small scoop since I was trying it for the first time - it was good. Next time, I will need to get 2 scoops as I really enjoyed the flavor of that one. The line in front went very quickly as I sat and ate my ice cream on the premises. There were several employees tending to the customers. I wonder if I can make it back before the end of June to try some of those other flavors, seeing that I have a $1 off coupon.

    Bruster's is a great stop for some summer ice cream! It's a grab and go kind of place but they have…read moreoutdoor seating sprinkled around. I noticed they added more lawn chairs since the weathers nice! The staff is always helpful and quick at serving orders. They have a bunch of flavors to pick from and honestly it can be sort of a hit or miss. The classics are always great though like the cookies and cream or butter pecan. I got the cherry vanilla and honestly that's my bad because I thought it would be real cherries not maraschino cherries lol. The mixed berry cheesecake was so good though, it had a mixed berry jam and graham crackers swirled throughout. The pistachio was another slight miss for us. I appreciate the amount of pistachios sprinkled throughout but the base was giving amaretto/almond flavoring as opposed to a true pistachio ice cream. (I also don't like amaretto) so that doesn't help lol but overall glad I tried the flavors and now I can try different ones next time!

    Although I have tried my fair share of funky flavors, I have never come across as many unique and…read moregenuinely tasty options as those at Carmen's Italian Ice. Calling the selection good would be an understatement. Flavors and styles lined the walls, and they have even introduced seasonal spring drinks alongside their custards and Italian ice. I ordered a gelati, which came with two flavors and the option to add a warm brownie in the center. They also offer prepackaged pints to take home. The only item that could not be sampled was the not fried chicken, their iconic Shark Tank inspired creation shaped like a chicken leg, where the novelty lies more in the form than the flavor. Some flavors had intriguing names like Tiger Blood and Midnight Fantasy, and the staff were more than happy to explain each one in detail. *Midnight Fantasy: featured a chocolate base mixed with chunks of brookie. It leaned heavier with a slightly grainy texture from the cookie pieces, but the chocolate itself was not overly sweet. It worked best when paired with something lighter. The brookie itself was well balanced, with a fudgy brownie component and a cookie that had a snickerdoodle like quality. *Mango Italian Ice: had a clean, fruity flavor and a smooth texture. It was not overly icy and paired nicely with the custard on top. *Honey Milk: was my favorite of everything I tried. The honey flavor came through strongly, both in taste and aroma, while the milky richness added a smooth creaminess. It paired beautifully with the Italian ice and balanced the richness of the Midnight Fantasy. *Spring Break Soda: was an interesting take on a Sprite style drink, with kiwi syrup, blue raspberry syrup, grenadine, and cold foam. It definitely delivered a sugar rush. There was a tropical feel, but it may be best suited for those with a serious sweet tooth. There is likely something for everyone here, and the friendly service makes it easy to find your match. While I would probably skip the sodas, the Italian ice and custard stood out for their quality.

    Am I the only one who didn't know there was a Carmen's in Kentlands, INSIDE of the Kung Fu Tea?…read more I had only ever been to the one on Nelson St in Rockville. It was cold and late and didn't feel like going to that one, and it was my name day so when I saw a Carmen's location in Kentlands I figured it was my sign to go! I was a little disappointed that this location didn't have all the flavors that I'm used to seeing at the Rockville location. One my favorites is Ube, which they happened to be out when I went. I usually go for the gelati, and the options were your typical flavors, nothing too exciting in my opinion. But, ultimately cant complain because my name day vegan coconut gelati and mango shave ice tasted fine and it was like having a little pina colada in the middle of winter! Hope this location expands their menu so that we can enjoy all the wonderful flavors that Carmen's has to offer!

    I had never tried Carmen's Italian Ice but for what I got, it was very good! We came really late…read more Like close to closing. Fortunately at the nick of time we walked in and got what what we wanted. The staff were accommodating and even friendly! I went really simple here. A medium cherry Italian ice is what I got. For the size, it's actually pretty big compared to the small size. That size is for ants. I personally think Medium size is the perfect size where it's not too big. Large and bigger sizes is a bit too much unless you really love your Italian ice. The only issue I have is it's a bit hard to find unless you know the area well. It's inside of Kung Fu Tea as a heads up.
