Dearest gentle yelpers…read more.. This reviewer and her whole family have been on pins and needles waiting for season 17 to open! Their frozen custard is absolutely amazing. The cones are stacked a mile high making the Empire State Building miniaturized in comparison. Ok, I might be slightly over exaggerating , but for real, their larges are not for the faint of heart. I ordered the nachos today which comes with two sides ( I chose sprinkles and hot fudge) and waffle chips. I was so excited I could barely contain myself and it was just as I remember it. So delightful. The service is always fun and friendly. You won't be disappointed Yours truly, The Duchess of Delicacy

Our experience today was CHEF'S KISS. The cashier was patience as I asked for samples of Cookie Dough just to confirm if I should switch it up .. and I didn't. I got a waffle cone and my husband did soft serve vanilla. Ray's is so much better than any custard spot we've had in Northern VA L. It's smooth, rich, creamy and just the perfectttttt treat for a summer (or any) day haha! The spot itself is an outside space. They have a few chairs and benches that you can sit outside but honestly sitting in your car with the windows open hits the spot too. I can't wait to go back !

The flavor was sweet and tasted amazing! Some of the best ice cream I've had. Definitely swing by during a hot day! Staff were friendly. Parking can be a bit difficult as it's street parking.

My friend was visiting from DC for the first time and got the passionfruit sorbet. She took one bite and said it brought her right back to when she was in Brazil.

They have a 8 people maximum capacity. There is a slim bar along the windows for people to stand and eat, but other than that, there are no chairs. It is a small arroom so don't expect to stay long. Food: the ice cream was very creamy and delicious! I loved the special flavors they had! And they change the flavors every now and then! So it's fun to try them all. Bathroom: there is no restroom. Price: I thought it was pretty good for the amount you get! It isn't on the cheap side, but you do get a large serving! Service: our server was very patient and nice! He gave us a few samples because I couldn't decide which flavor I liked (like any typical girl haha)

And not only that, but the flavors were so delicious and creamy. I've tasted my fair share of DF ice cream; this is the best I've maybe ever had. My friend could not tell a difference in her scoops either. Staff was super nice & were more than happy to entertain multiple samples. Prices were great for being allergy friendly. The shop is a little small so summer nights might have long lines, but we went on a rainy day in March. Can't wait to try the whole menu!

The couple that owns this establishment have been in business for years and make a sincere attempt in their homemade gelati to mirror the quality that we experienced when traveling through Italy. The assortment of flavors and the smile on the faces of those who serve you is always a reason for coming back. Although this is a mom and pop type shop, the personnel behind the counter are always pleasant and quality of the gelati is suburb.
