Our server was nice and let us try the different flavors with a smile…read more I got the twist flavor (I forget the real name, but it was supposed to be vanilla/ground nut flavor, or something like that). It wasn't for me, while it has the texture and sweetness that everyone loves about ice cream, the flavor was quite bland. Also, no nuts! I added the chin chin (fried cookie pieces) but they weren't sweet... It didnt hit the spot for me. My wife got the spicy chocolate. Has a nice kick to it, but she didnt eat very much. I am confused why there are no fruit flavors available. Maybe its a seasonal thing, but I would love to see some creative fruit flavors in the future. I like the concept, but I would love to see some other flavors.

They're located on Georgia right next to Denizens, and It's kind of in the cut and hard to see (well it was for me). If you're coming in from East-West Highway (pro tip: don't if you're driving, the parking there is restricted and they tow) you have to walk down stairs between the 1830 building and Denizens to find it. They allow one party in the building at a time. My boys and I went in and the young man immediately asked if we were just using the restroom or also getting ice cream-- I doubt they have public restrooms but I was on a trot after 3 hours out-- and when he realized we were getting ice cream, he didn't allow anyone in until we came out of the bathroom, ordered and left. Very safe. Their ice cream is clean, delicious, and their flavors are unique. I tried honey lavender and It was SOOO good until the very end ( I ate a bit of lavender and didn't taste anything else til I was done). The boys' strawberry ice cream was delicious and NOT pink- we avoid red dyes so this was exactly what we were looking for. The sugar cones are just the right size for the small children and they don't overstuff the cones a la Brusters and Ben and Jerry's. These are just right in size and price for kids. They didn't have a "kids cone" option per se (but I didn't ask) we just did a single scoop. That's one thing I'd like- a cake cone (smaller) with a kid sized scoop. As ir was, I got a scoop and a half helping the 3 year old finish. The 6 year old inhaled it in 2 minutes so it's just about right! Overall it's close to home, easy to get to once you know it's there and had great service plus AWESOME ice cream. I cannot wait to try the ginger, coconut, and wild blueberry! Lo

This place is worthy of its stars. I would rate it six stars if I could. The ice cream flavors are…read moreso delicious many are unique and are the perfect blend of creamy and sweet without being overly sweet. That being said as delicious as the ice cream is, the real star of the show is the gentleman working there. I didn't catch his name, but I could just see how passionate he was about ice cream. It was a nice day so I figured I would mark the transition away from winter with ice cream and I hadn't been to this place in a while and this is going in my top three favorite ice cream places in the DMV area. Please be advised that their peach cobbler flavor is the most popular and for good reason so it might be sold out when you come.

I didn't have that much exposure to the staff working there, but they recalled having a positive experience with the staffer and got to try as many flavors as possible. Furthermore, I could recall there was alone a bench outdoors and there's limited standing room indoors. With such an extensive menu, it was tough to decide what flavors my friend and I wanted. Overall, the selection was great. The ice cream quality was A (not quite A+), but still pretty reasonable comparing the price for the flight too. I would get more ice cream in the future!

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.

If you're a student at the University of Maryland in College Park, this place is super accessible. If you're not affiliated with the university, I recommend visiting on a Sunday afternoon, like we did--parking was free that day. To make things easy, park in the lot closest to the Stamp Student Union building. Park on the top floor, and you can walk directly into the building from there. The ice cream was fresh and absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavors to choose from. Each of us tried different scoops, and every single one was good. I don't eat ice cream often, but this was worth the trip. I even ended up finishing the rest of my daughter's scoop (she had her fill, so I happily helped out)!

I'm in my YES phase right now. YES to every invite! No dietary restrictions here...I'm open to all the things. Gluten? Yes. Sugar? Absolutely. Anything yummy, anything bad? Hand it over.

I do love nice things, roses, and gifts, but the way to my heart is SWEETS. Love me with sugar and I'm likely to like you more. This was a direct hit. A bullseye. Cupid could never. I've never been to Pike & Rose. I do not like driving, so this area has never crossed my mind. But yes, thank you for the intro. I will now be acting like this is my spot. We walked up and wow...the line was so long. There will be lines, fair warning. The neon sign was everything because I am the Cookie Monster of the DMV. If it's baked, warm, sprinkled or melts slightly when you touch it, I want it. Hand it over! Cute places to sit outside the shop!

Love is beautiful. Let's get into it! I did not want to do the brownie cookie sandwich, but my new big‑back friend said I could and should, so I did. Don't threaten me with a good treat.

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!

I'm a long time fan of Bruster's! Today I tried their strawberry matcha which is part of their…read morespring 2026 menu. It was essentially their strawberry ice cream and matcha put together. The strawberry flavor was very strong, so much so that I couldn't really taste the matcha. So it's good if you're a strawberry ice cream fan! I did like how it wasn't too sweet. David had the Caramel Brownie Batter. It is very caramel-y. The brownie bits are very much ooey gooey batter-like rather than solid brownie chunks. I do think the single scoop is a bit overpriced ($5.20 something) which was only $.70 cents less than David's double scoop.
