This place is not NICE on the wallet. But pro-tip they sometimes have a 15% off if you check-in on Yelp! The staff is super friendly and the place is quaint but has a handful of tables inside and outside. They justify the high price tag by whipping the ice cream with liquid nitrogen in a mixer. Although cool I didn't think it added much to the experience and was little gimmicky. I tried the cookie dough which was solid and not too sweet. My friend tried one of their seasonal flavors (lavender honey) and it tasted like neither. I think they use the same base for most of their flavors because hers tasted very similar to mine and both were good quality. I think the flavors are hit or miss, but unfortunately you can't sample them! I think this place is a good treat, but overall I'm not sure I'd go back. read more

A friend wanted to get Icecream and we found this in Clarendon area. Such a beautiful area with lots of stores and food options and great place to walk around. PISTACHIO & CHOCOLATE SCOOPS I was skeptical at first esp with this combo but babyyyyy this was EVERYTHING! Both flavors together and separate were delicious and sweet but not overpowering. Perfect match and will definitely get again... maybe even I'll get all flavors lol. Btw I love seeing the NITRO coming out the kitchen aids, such a cool scene. I love the colors in the store, orange spoons and white kitchen aids are so different but I love it plus the aesthetics thru-out the store was cute. The pricing is decent and they have a limited menu of Icecream flavors, milkshakes and even hot cocoa. We will definitely be back especially since they gave us a Punch card so after 10 scoops/visits, you get FREE Icecream. read more

This is a solid ice cream place but I wouldn't necessarily go just for the ice cream. The novelty factor of seeing them make it is cool for the first time but I also means the wait can be pretty long since each one needs to be made fresh. read more

Yum yum! Delicious ice cream. We got the regular size, which comes with two flavors. We chose milk chocolate and cold brew, which were both very good individually but also tasted great together. They also sell coffee. We got an iced cold brew and an iced latte (my latte was a little too light, too much milk & not enough coffee.) Friendly staff, as well! It's located right across Crate & Barrel, so I recommend parking in the garage. A few tables inside. read more

Nicecream was a disappointment for me. I left empty-handed and unsatisfied. I was the only person in the shop that afternoon and the ambiance was quiet, but the server was monosyllabic with his explanation of what the shop offers. I had time so I hung back to see what other patrons ordered when they arrived. I found out that only a few flavors are available as a single serving, the bulk of their flavors are packaged as pints. I didn't find any single serving flavors that I really wanted but I was already there and settled for their seasonal pumpkin offering, only to find that they don't accept cash. The food choice, curt service, and lack of payment options made me feel that this wasn't meant to be. I left and went to do errands elsewhere before heading back to DC. In the course of my errands I found Mimi's and was delighted by their no-additives-quality, flavors and service. read more

The gentleman behind the counter served us, then went to the bathroom with his apron on (food safety violation). He returned with the apron on, and proceeded to serve people. While the ice cream was good, hygiene was not. As a public health nurse, I just can't. read more

Nicecream is one of my family's favorite ice cream places. We've only been here five times over the past year since we come from the Mount Vernon area, but we still make the drive. However, one area for improvement is the consistency in scoop size and the thickness of the milkshakes since the staff changes. I'm not sure if $8.99 for a watery milkshake is what the new staff was trained to make. I asked the gentleman behind the counter to remake the shake, but it came out thin again, resembling chocolate milk. The staff explained that they usually make it that way: one-third ice cream to two-thirds milk? (A video is included.) First come, first served? Not today at this place. The people behind us in line received their ice cream first, and their portions were visibly larger. The workers had difficulty managing the line when it got too long, especially since there were only two people on staff. The wait extended out to the street, and five people ended up walking away. I hope this will help management make some changes because the neglected interior and worn-out mixers are making the novelty of watching ice cream being made diminish, especially when the prices don't match the service or quality control. Lastly, either raise the partitions higher or train the staff to be more careful when pouring the nitrogen, as the splash goes over the partition and hits customers when the liquid nitrogen is being poured and mixed. Remember the case where McDonald's didn't think anyone would sue for being burned by hot coffee, and then someone did and won millions? They were forced to put warnings on the lids of every hot beverage. These are just some thoughts for improvement, but it's up to you whether you want to address the suggestions since it is your business, not mine. read more

This place is great!! The ice cream is made right in front of you, so you know it's fresh! The flavors are fun and creative. I had the nutella and a friend had the strawberry basil. the nutella retained the nuttiness of the hazelnut and was the right level of sweet. the basil in the strawberry basil added a level of depth to strawberry ice cream that i'd yet to experience. The service was quick, friendly, and responsive! The space is small but homey with several tables for seating. Great spot, excited to come again! read more

Nicecream was okay. By the name, I originally anticipated a health ice cream when my friend suggested it so I was relieved to learn it was such a cool concept for being nitrogen infused. That being said, it left the ice cream kinda thin and icy. I love a dense, creamy, custard-y ice cream so it wasn't quite my cup of tea. The staff was also polite but distant, so nothing outstanding one way or another. Definitely worth a try, but it won't be in my repeat list. read more

They upcharge the ice cream here because they make it instantly with nitrogen, but this pretty much just tastes like regular ice cream. My tip is that 2 flavor scoops is much cheaper and more worth it than one ($6). We got the pumpkin spice which deliciously tasted just like pumpkin pie. The blueberry pie flavor had a lot of actual blueberries and went nicely with the pumpkin spice. Interior is also really cute with many ice cream puns. Despite them mixing the ice cream, service is pretty fast! Only downside is that you can't sample flavors so hopefully you like the flavor you choose, which we did. read more

The employees are also very nice here and get orders out pretty quickly. Will come again! read more

I went here on a late night ice cream run with my sibling and was pleasantly surprised. They only have a few flavors on their menu, which I believe is limited by the number of KitchenAid stand mixer that they have to mix their batches with the liquid nitrogen. My brother was a little upset because they didn't have any "regular" flavors, but the woman that took our orders, was very helpful and they were able to accommodate him, which made him very happy. The place is on the smaller side, but there is seating with tables for people that would like to sit in and have their ice cream with like three friends. The woman that helped us was very kind and accommodating as stated before, so I had no problems with the service that was there. I got the Nutella ice cream, which was really good and I enjoyed it. You get all of the notes of the chocolate and hazelnut in a very nice, smooth ice cream base. The reason I took off a star is because the ice cream scoop that the woman who prepared the ice cream is used wasn't very clean. When she pulled it out of the container it was sitting in, there was still chocolate residue from someone else's ice cream on it, but because it was chocolate residue, and I was getting a chocolate based ice cream, I didn't say anything. I'll definitely go back again to try some of their other flavors. read more

Nicecream - Nutella Small cup - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Nicecream is one of those places that you need to go to once, They make their ice cream fresh on the spot using liquid nitrogen. Watching them pour the base into the mixers and clouds of fog roll across the counter is definitely a cool experience. That said, I've been here three times now as everyone I bring to Arlington wants to try it. To be honest: it's more about the novelty than the actual ice cream. The flavor and texture just don't consistently hit the mark. I went for the banana flavor, and while it had a creamy texture and a nice natural sweetness at first, the flavor wasn't quite balanced. It leaned too heavily into the ripe banana taste, which started to overwhelm after a few bites. As for the price it's a bit on the higher side, but nothing shocking for Arlington. You're definitely paying for the experience as much as the ice cream. If you're going strictly for ice cream, there are better places. read more

White Chocolate Peanut Butter This one was a borderline too sweet the ratio of white chocolate was a tad too much making it really close to being overly sweet. Lots of bold peanut presence, even granules of peanut all throughout. It's neat to see the liquid nitrogen being used to freeze the milk, great visual. read more

I recently had Nicecream at a business conference and it was all the rave of the event. The co-founder Gil, and his employees Dace and Lori were such a delight to work with. The show of the liquid nitrogen was spectacular but nothing topped the super creamy and flavorful liquid nitrogen ice cream. We had a long line waiting as the Nicecream team served up 200 scoops. I highly recommend Nicecream for any event! It is the best! read more

Came here to try a new flavor.. super busy but line and service was quick. I got the pistachio and coffee... everyone was getting the pina colado and mint mojito. Pistachio was good but expect a whole lot of nuts! it was a real pistachio flavor so I enjoyed it. it paired well with the coffee cold brew flavor. nicecream is always consistent with ice cream texture and flavors are always good! if you haven't tried nitrogen ice cream def check it out. flavors are always rotating. read more

Nicecream - Purely Pistachio and Cold Brew Coffee - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Nicecream is my wife and my favorite ice cream spot of all time! All the recipes are homemade, and the liquid nitrogen makes the ice cream incredibly creamy without any ice crystals. The flavors rotate weekly...we often go once a week to get the sampler or for brownie sundae happy hour. The staff are very nice, and the owners are incredible! We had Nicecream come to our wedding, and the owners made the whole process so easy to schedule and coordinate. It was a huge hit at our wedding. Even with a lot of other ice cream stores in the DMV, nothing comes even close to Nicecream. read more

They make your ice cream in front of you with liquid nitrogen. In addition they have new and unique flavors that they change our regularly.y personal favorite was the lavender honey. It's rare to find a place that puts honey in your ice cream but once you try it you'll wonder why more places don't do this. In the heart of Clarendon, this place is perfect for ending your dinner or night out. Even during rush hour, your ice cream will be ready within minutes of ordering. read more

Great ice cream! Had the banana cream and wife had the chocolate. Delicious! Made the mistake of thinking we could walk down the street and eat our amazing scoops. Mistake. Blazing hot day. Ice cream started melting right away. But even that was great. Just drank it up. Sit down some place. Service was courteous and pleasant. Asked if they had lactose free offering but unfortunately not. Always carry around lactataid pills though so not a problem. Highly recommended. read more

Easy 5 stars here. The ice cream was bloody delicious. They use liquid nitrogen to make their ice cream. The caramel pretzel was amazing. Pretzel chunks gave a great crunch as well as a savory note. You could taste the quality of the dairy with every bite. We ran here in the cold rain and it was still amazing. read more

A cute little establishment that I've been meaning to stop by for almost a year. They have a limited selection of flavors but their fun seasonal flavors more than make up for the lack of options. What we got: Sampler - 5* I loooove samplers. Nice team seems to only carry 6 flavors at a time so this is a great way to sample everything they have in store, perfect for a new customer like myself. While I didn't all the flavors (see below) I did love the concept and being able to try everything. I do wish they were more conservative with the spoons. Each of the six flavors had its own spoon and I, for one, would've been happy with just one spoon. Candy cane crunch - 5* I was surprised how much I enjoyed this (I've had bad candy cane ice cream before). It's a very refreshing ice cream and I'd get it again. Nutella - 5* I feel like I'm dipping my spoon into the Nutella jar and it's wonderful! Cranberry craze - 3.5-4* nice smooth ice cream and I loved the fresh cranberries. Vanilla chocolate chunk - 3.5* a nice, basic vanilla with chocolate chunks. Really isn't more to say. Apple pie - 2.5* the flavoring felt pretty artificial, I wasn't a fan. It's almost like a chemical after taste. My partner does not taste the chemical after taste. Eggnog - I don't like eggnog so I give this 1*, but my partner who loves eggnog gives it 3-4* "it's exactly what you expect. If you like eggnog you'll like this. It's a fun way to eat eggnog but I'm not drawn to it." read more

Nicecream is a small ice cream spot that does things a little differently from your usual scoop shop. They have a variety of flavors which change regularly, and they make their ice cream fresh using liquid nitrogen (which you can watch, great for the kids). We tried two flavors, Nutella and carrot cake. Both were good, but we preferred the Nutella if we were to get one of them again. Glad we were able to try this creamy, sweet treat! read more

This is a nice little ice cream shop. Their specialty is using liquid nitrogen to make the ice colder than normal. It has the same texture as Dippin' Dots, which I personally prefer over thick creamy ice cream. This kind of ice cream just tastes lighter. They have ever changing flavors and some are on the sweet side. They also tend to sell out of flavors if you go in the evening. They do make the ice cream in front of you so expect to be waiting out the door if there is a crowd. The shop itself is pretty small with limited inside seating. There are some tables outside. Parking is as expected in Arlington, just gotta find street parking. The portion size is pretty small (see pic) but small spoon makes it not seem so bad. The ice cream is good but I don't think I would be willing to come out here and try to find parking just for it. If I were in the area, yeah definitely. read more

Nice little ice cream shop right in town. Unique experience. I've had nitrogen based ice cream before, but it is usually scraped off of a metal surface in thin sheets rolled up. I always found tit hard to eat and unsatisfying. But Nicecream uses stand mixers to make batches of flavors on demand with nitrogen so it comes out creamy and in the typical form you expect ice cream to be in (scoops). The results are great. The Nutella was the best tasting Nutella I've cream I've ever had. I would like more vanilla bean flavor in my vanilla, but it was still great. And both were very creamy. read more

Small, bright, nitrogen ice cream spot where orders are individually made in ice cream mixers behind the counter Flavors: 6 weekly rotating flavors, but if you want to know the weekly flavors before coming you can find them on their instagram. Space: Fairly small, but there's a few small tables to sit at Price: As is the case for most nitrogen ice cream places it is fairly expensive, but they do give you far more ice cream than you would expect given the sizes of the cups they come in Positives: 1) Have an "ice cream sampler" option that allows you to try all 6 flavors! 2) All of their ingredients are locally sourced, and the ice cream itself is smooth and delicious. -I got their bannana flavor and it had chunks of banana in it! 3) Also have a small selection of lattes and hot chocolates. -I got a Nutella latte and it was also delicious 4) Also have cookies, brownies, sundaes, and pints, and they deliver all over the DMV 5) "Happy Hour" every day where you can get a brownie sundae for $5! Negatives: 1) All the ice cream , so it can apparently get extremely busy, and have a very long wait, on some nights 2) No samples 3) No cones 4) Cash not accepted read more

I haven't had nitrogen ice cream for over three years, so I've been hoping to check this place out for a few weeks. My friend and I shared a small scoop of "Samoa" - vanilla ice cream with toasted coconut flakes and chocolate drizzle. It was pretty expensive (~$6 after tax), but nitrogen ice cream is a whole process! Overall, the ice cream was decent and there was a good amount of ice cream for a small. I wish there were more coconut flakes because half of my bites were just plain vanilla, unfortunately. The ice cream was smooth and creamy (thanks to the nitrogen!), but definitely not the best I've had. If I am ever craving ice cream in the Clarendon area, Nicecream will definitely be my go-to. read more
