We saw a sign driving by that there was a new ice cream place opening and decided to check it out after dinner one rainy evening. Ice cream shop is a misnomer- they literally have a little of everything! We stepped in and began perusing the menu and it was "Wow! They have rolled ice cream! Wow! They have sandwiches! Wow! They have skewers!" So many options packed into a small strip mall store. They even have indoor seating and games for kids and adults to play. After reading a sign declaring they have real Philadelphia water ice, I asked who was from Philadelphia? I'm a South Jersey girl myself, and the owner, originally from Philly, my husband and I had a delightful conversation. I don't know how, but the place just smells like a little "hole in the wall" restaurant you would go to in Philly/South Jersey. It was a great taste of home for me. We only got ice cream, which was delicious. I tried an oat milk cookie dough one that was scrumptious. We will definitely be back to try other flavors and their food. read more

Where ice cream, water ice, rolled ice cream, Dole soft serve, and street food all come together to make you smile -- this spot truly delivers. While they're still working through a few staffing hiccups, the owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making it an easy place to keep coming back to. It's a very family-friendly atmosphere with a handful of indoor seats that will definitely be appreciated during the hot summer months, plus additional outdoor seating. There are even a few games to enjoy while you hang out. We've been slowly making our way through the menu and so far have tried the regular soft serve, Dole soft serve, strawberry shortcake stacker, and several Hershey's ice cream flavors -- all delicious. I'm still looking forward to trying the Thai rolled ice cream and Philadelphia water ice. The plain adult grilled cheese was surprisingly amazing -- perfectly crispy and loaded with cheese. The jerky skewers were smoky with a lingering heat, though slightly on the sweet side. Safe to say, we're regulars now. read more

Fantastic ice cream! So glad to have such an awesome ice cream shop so close by. They have all kinds of snacks and different options for ice creams. Ingredients are all super fresh. We are coming back for sure and this will be our new spot. Service was great, too! Amazing ambiance! read more

We are so happy with this new place! We tried out a bunch of items at our first take-out: pulled pork boat, pulled pork grilled cheese, Greek chicken skewer over rice, Mac and cheese, street corn, beef chili, matcha boba tea, and water ice. We enjoyed all the items. The chicken was so tender and flavorful and the rice was really great - next time I will try to order half rice and half spinach. The grilled cheese and pulled pork was a standout and the kids liked the white cheddar style Mac and cheese. The Philadelphia water ice is creamy and delicious and the boba tea was great - I don't like it when they are too sweet and this was was just right for me. This is a really convenient place for us to stop for lunch or dinner on the weekend and bonus-they welcome dogs and serve water, treats, and pup cups. We will definitely continue supporting them - what a great menu!! read more

Ice Cream Worx - Water ice - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

Customer service is great and it's nicely decorated. Had the water ice in two flavors and it was great. Filled with flavor. I also tried the Mexican street corn stacked with BBQ pork. Felt like it was missing what I reminisced from Mexican LA street corn. From the moment I opened the container I saw amazing cheese and generous portions of pork but the corn looked a bit too, can of corn. The flavor was there but not the grilled corn flavor and Mexican spices. I'll come back to try the crepe and more water ice! read more

I had a high hopes for this place. TikTok reviews were very favorable. Let's start with the fact it opens around 2pm most days. You want lunch at a regular time. Tough their not open. You want to get ice cream after swimming. Nope not open. We were the only people here at 2. The ambiance in this place is super strange, a mix of Hawaiian and tiki and cellophane streamers and odd paintings on the wall. It just felt off, like it mismatched. But none of that matters if the place has really good food. And fast service, which this place has neither. We ordered three items. Grilled cheese with roast beef ( they were out of roast beef) even though on the menu that's the prominent three times the size font menu item in the grilled cheese section that's supposed to catch your eye. So we got tex mex. it was a 4/10 at best. It was more sweet than tex mex flavored. The cheese was pretty basic, kinda extra gooey in a bad way, like wet. Then my daughter ordered the mac and cheese plain. It was microwaved (we found out from the woman who was preparing it ) and as a result was partially ice cold throughout the paper cup it was served in. Even if it was hot it was a white watery cream sauce with little taste. 1/10. we sent it back to be trashed. They offered to replace it with something else. My daughter was already not liking the food at that point, so she didn't want anything else until later. I got the Viet hot dog. It was for sure the best of the three things we ordered, and that's not saying much. It was clear the hot dog was probably microwaved again. The bun was not heated up. The Kraut was basic on it. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there was something off with the brown sauce that was put underneath the hot dog. A 5.5/10. My daughter had a change of heart when she saw the ice cream flavors. She ended up getting the ice cream nachos, which are basically three scoops of ice cream, whipped cream, and some waffle chips. She got the peanut butter ice cream, and it tasted like the cheapest ice cream you can buy in the grocery store. It's not even made by them; it's made by Hershey. And it is very basic and overpriced. I thought for sure they would re-offer to give some sort of discount on it since she had sent back her food earlier that was ice cold throughout, but no, that was not mentioned. I left it unsaid because I wanted to get out of there. The woman who serviced was super nice. It did, however, feel like they should have a prominent owner working the space as well, because it didn't have that sort of professional feel that you would like to have at a restaurant. Especially for the cost of what we ordered we spent approximately $50 when it was all said and done. An absolute horrible value for what we got, essentially street food. Once again, I would have loved to give this place a good review since it's a short drive for us, but unfortunately I can't. read more

My wife and I decided to give Ice Cream Worx a shot, and our venture did not disappoint! Foremost, the friendly service from Owner "Ken" and "Moira/Meira" was very welcoming. The decor was bright, colorful and appealing. The Hershey's ice cream was indeed creamy and delicious, and included a "sweet" short history lesson from Ken on the relationship between Hershey's Creamery and Hershey's Chocolate--only if you asked. Go visit this place,,,it's sweet! read more
