    Came in just to look but was easily swayed. Loved the seasonal decorations. Got a single scoop of pralines and cream in a waffle cone. Service was perfect and attentive. The ice cream was very creamy and had lots of goodness. Will return!!

    Fantastic experience at Jake's ice cream for my first visit. It's my boyfriend's birthday and he loves ice cream and milkshakes so we thought we'd try somewhere new. They have tons of classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate as well as some seasonal flavors. I opted for the orange vanilla dream milkshake (all milkshakes are 16os) and he had a Reese's milkshakes. Both were made incredibly creamy and smooth! Milkshakes are served with large bore straws which prevent that headache from sucky the life out of a tiny straw just to get a smidge out of it! Staff were very friendly. They have some seating available outside too.

    Love this place. What a great idea to hire people of all abilities. This is close to heart, and every time, I see people whom are empowered. That alone is reason to celebrate. Always enjoy how friendly everyone is, and this is a must visit place. Thank you to all, as a wonderful smile even now. How's the ice cream? Delicious! All flavors tried so far, have been fresh and make the taste buds dance. You can get a cup or cone. This is among my favorite ice cream shops in the DC area. Comfortable seats and wonderful ambiance. That works for this man, and plenty of others. Thank you to this place, and all of the employees here!

    This is honey apple and pumpkin with yellow cake.

    Icecream cake from Jake's! They let you pick two flavors, cake type, a crunchy, color, etc. Very personalized. I wish the cake layer was larger, I prefer 50/50 cake and icecream. But I'm sure if I had specified this they would have tried to accommodate. The icecream was yummy! Cake layer was good. Would try again and see if they can adjust the ratio to my preference.

    Wow! First time ever going to Jake's Ice Cream and it was an amazing experience. First off the location is perfect off of Braddock RD and I have to say it was a last minute thing my wife asked to go to the ice cream shop before heading home. I am glad we did! The staff was super friendly and patient with us and once we made our choices we got a LOT of ice cream we definitely got our moneys worth! This place has nice seating outside to enjoy your ice cream and to talk and we really loved checking this place out! We definitely will be back, we have found a great ice cream shop near our house! Oh their pralines and cream and their waffle cone is just delicious!

    The honey lavender ice cream here was delicious. There was barely any left and I'm glad I was able to get the last bit of it before they ran out! The honey and lavender flavors were both prominent - no flavor dominated the other and it really was the perfect balance. Additionally, it wasn't too sweet (most other ice cream shops that sell this flavor tend to make it sickly sweet, imo) so it made me love it more. I also love the purple color of the ice cream, too! A kid scoop is only $3, so it's quite cheap for a small scoop of quality ice cream. My friends also really enjoyed the "coffee" and "peanut butter fudge" flavors!

    Jake's is awesome! The ice cream is delicious and the service is great. My mom and I only got plain ice cream in cups, but they have a number of options including sundaes and cones. The best part about this place is that your purchase helps to support persons with disabilities. Go to Jake's!

    This is one of the most amazing places in the world. Incredible, I need incredible. Vegan baked…read moregoods. Creative ideas in so many things. Nice cozy place to eat inside. Very fast, service, and such friendly folks

    Very inconspicuous shop! I was pleasantly surprised to be able to discover more and more things…read morewhile here during the visit. First I was greeted by a customer while I was reading the outside sign on a pumpkin spicy latte, a customer that was leaving stopped and turned and explained it was everything and do good and if I have not, I must as they put actual pumpkin puree inside not just that pump pump stuff. So I was sold walking in. Next up was home made cookies making ice cream sandwich's by the front door. before I could even get through the line to the front, I was greeted with more baked goods, cupcakes, scones, macroons, dog biscuits - normal biscuits! So I went to town ordering a variety being asked by my lil and my inner child. While sipping on my now, pumpkin spiced latte from here, I saw actual meals being served and I missed out on ordering sandwiches from the back :( Something I will be coming back for! I did get up and order more things, like a fall inspired cookie ice cream sandwhich, all alone by itself in a sea of other flavors, I had to rescue it. And the sour macrons! When did that become a thing??? They were so good and perfect for our movie night later that day. I'm very happy to have stumbled across this find.
