    I am a huge fan for soft serve and the first thing that popped up when in the area was Swirlies. Let me tell you... it's amazing! The pricing is so affordable and for being a small business, the menu was very vast. I wish i was near the area but next time your in manassas stop by!!! The service was quick & efficient. I loved the seating area and the nice touch of the swing bench! Thank you swirlies !

    YUM!!! Holy moly - so much options. Staff was so kind! Our family enjoyed shave ice (so good!), black raspberry twist, and a chocolate/vanilla twist. One of the cones was so small compared to the others was the only bummer even though we ordered the same sizes. Super cute set up too - tables to sit at and enjoy.

    Cherry flavor burst swirl

    Total fan!!!! I think I've found my new go to for soft serve ice cream!!! I am all over there flavor burst swirl ice cream that I have made several trips in the past few weeks alone. They do have a plethora of options from cones (you gotta, and I mean gotta get the waffle cone) sundaes, milkshakes and the list goes on and on. There is no way you cannot come here and live out your ice cream dreams. Make sure you check out the flavors of the week that a written in on the menu board. Brace yourself, if you are lucky there will not be a line but more that not there will be one, rest assured though it moves fast. The team here is efficient and runs like a well oil machine and the customer service is top notch. Every one is so friendly and always has a smile of their faces. Serving sizes are generous too so make sure you have room in your tummy. Plenty of outdoor space so you can stay and chill at a picnic table or hang out in the parking lot. Whatever you do, put Swirlies on your ice cream list for the season!!!

    Omg what a great place! Packed on a weekend, but where the kids are you know there is BOMB ICE CREAM. Outdoor dog friendly and family friendly. Prices were decent and options were plentiful- from shaved ice to sundaes, to milkshakes. My boyfriend loved his banana split with extra cherries, my pup loved his pup cup with mini milk bones, and I loved my vanilla malt shake with Heath bar mixed in. You can get exactly what you want with countless different toppings and orders possible. Great QUICK service too!! Umbrella seating to block from the shade and to keep the ice cream cool

    This place plays really good oldies music. I got the strawberry cheesecake shake and the chunks of cheesecake didn't really fit through the straw so I had to fish them out. Besides that the people are nice and the place has a nice vibe.

    Chocolate and vanilla swirl medium cone (post lick- it was melting!)

    This reminded me of the ice cream I used to have as a kid down the Jersey shore! It was amazing and perfect in every way. I got a medium cone, chocolate and vanilla swirl. It was quite large but it wasn't an issue to finish- it tasted so good I probably could have consumed another. I live a fair distance away, but will make a point to return. Also, thank you to the kind young woman behind the counter!

    TL;DR: Great Ice cream, long lines, but worth it Who doesn't like soft serve? For those who don't, they have options like shaved ice! They even have a pup cup if you bring your furry friend to enjoy the nice outdoor weather. When we got there around 7PM, the line was so so long. It may have looked longer due to social distancing protocols, but there was still a solid 20 people in front of us. As we went through the line, it continued to grow behind us as well. Took us about 30 minutes to get through the line, but it was a nice day, so we didn't mind. We ordered and received it within 2-3 minutes. They work fast! We also got our items to-go, and they have lids for all their sundaes, floats, or specialties. Food: Cone: Their soft serve is so good. It is creamy, and the consistency is perfect. It does melt quickly if you get a cone, but I mean. It's summer time. Oreo Fudge Boat: So good, very rich. Only comes in one size. And it is so much. The fudge will settle at the bottom, so you'll have to kind of dig to get the perfect bite Reese's sundae: Comes in Small or Large. The small is still a lot of ice cream. I didn't try it, but my brother in law said he KILLED it. Great place to bring the family for a sweet treat!

    Medium rainbow sugar free shaved ice
    Toby D.

    Perfect spot for a sundae or shaved ice! Nice 50's music and classic carhop feel with an ice cream stand and many picnic tables with umbrellas. I was there on a warm summer day, they had 4 people working in the stand, quickly taking orders and preparing them. Prices about average, maybe $3-5 a person depending what you get. I got a medium snow cone in rainbow flavors, came out perfectly with a plastic skirt to keep off splashes and a spoon to help eat it. Would definitely recommend! Fun atmosphere, great service, tasty! The snow cones came in so many flavors, I got a rainbow of three non-sugar flavors - strawberry, pina colada, and blackberry. All good and nice to see sugar free options too. Great spot to relax and beat the heat!

    Loved my kiddie swirl. You honestly don't need any more than the kiddie size and why not save a little money.

    Dirt cup
    Carol A.

    I was so excited to finally try this place. The outside is so cute and they have a huge variety of ice creams and sundaes to try! I ended up getting the dirt cup which was really yummy. Prices are similar to Dairy Queen. They also have seating outside so it's nice to enjoy your icecream at a table at night time.

    Swirlie's will give you a feel of yesteryear. Everything from the old fashioned ice cream stand to the music that they play on a hot summer day, will take you back to simpler times. I love this ice cream shop and it saddens me that since I've moved away, I won't be able to frequent this place as I have for the past 4 years. They really do have some delicious ice cream cones, banana splits, sundaes, milkshakes and hawaiian shaved ice. They do not offer hot food, but be sure to bring your dog out, as they do offer a puppy cup. Sometimes you can find rows of classic cars lined up in the lot. This is just a great place to sit and unwind on a hot summer night or on a Sunday afternoon. Plenty of seating and reasonable prices.

Numerous soft serve and hand scooped ice cream and shaved ice flavors. The missus and I got a flight of four ice creams on a Monday midday - while brisk business going on, we were served quickly. Each scoop is fairly generous. The blueberry ice cream was a particular standout - very blueberry-ish. We'll definitely be back when in the Manassas area.

The workers also seemed friendly and happy to help. I feel like this place was overrated on social media because I've had better local ice cream closer to my house. I appreciated one of the workers that recommended me cookies and cream milkshake, instead of the cookie monster because it would be creamier. He didn't have to tell me that, but I like the honesty and recommendations. The milkshake was decent, but it tasted like there was either too much milk, or the ice cream was on the blander side. I don't believe this tasted like a grade A ice cream, but I am not an expert. The soft serve did not have as much vanilla flavor as I would have liked either.

But trust me, this is one of those places you'll be glad you found. I love Turkey, and the second I tried their food, it genuinely took me right back. We ordered the traditional Turkish breakfast, and it was one of those meals where the food just keeps coming in the best way possible. Everything felt fresh, flavorful, comforting, and so clearly made with care. We also tried the flatbread, a meat wrap, smoothies, their special soup which was so good I would absolutely go back just for that, warm catmir for dessert, and a bunch of appetizers. Honestly, everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. I also had the chance to meet the owner and chef, who was incredibly kind and clearly puts so much heart into this place. And the restaurant itself completely surprised me because it is way bigger inside than you'd expect. Super clean, modern, beautifully designed, and honestly such a cute brunch spot. Weekend music nights? Love that. Girls brunch? Absolutely. Date night? Definitely. Family dinner? 100 percent. Finding the love of your life? Slightly better odds if someone's mom brings their eligible son. Overall, this really is such a lovely hidden gem and absolutely worth checking out if you're craving authentic Turkish food in the Manassas area.

We came here for Mother's Day, they don't take reservations so we made sure to arrive right when they opened. We walked right in and within 30 min there was a line of about 30 people waiting to be seated. This place is HUGE and they still had a big line, but let me tell you it is worth it!!! Service was impecable, shout out to our server Ilke, she was so nice and attentive. She recommended getting my serpme, which was perfect to share for 2 adults and two kids. It comes with a variety of spreads, sweet and savory. All freshly made. The fig jam, butter and honey, feta spread and tomato one were amazing!! You get a side dish, we got the eggs with tomatoes and pepper and they were delicious! The zucchini fritter was also delicious. The spreads come with unlimited bread made in house. They have a huge selection of delicious looking desserts. We got complimentary baklavas that were amazing, so we didn't get to try any other dessert but we can't wait to come back!!

Incredibly, all 3 of the 2022 runner-up were in Virginia as I live in Anne Arundel County, MD, but that's just how it worked out with Jirani Coffee House being the furthest from my home at a staggering 53 miles away. It was one of those strange Saturdays where I ended up further and further from my home throughout the day. There was something expensive I was shopping for (bed) where I wanted to test in person as opposed to buying online without knowing. It was in a bedding store in the Tysons area, which I ended up buying from them in the end. Then, there was an astronomy Meetup out at the Air & Space Museum out in Chantilly, so I was like I'm already out in Tysons, and in the 11 years living in the DMV, I need to visit this location of Air & Space. The astronomy Meetup was canceled due to overcast weather, which I didn't realize until after I got there, but I enjoyed the museum until closing time. I weighed options and saw a coffee & comedy Meetup even further from my home in Manassas, which I decided to do since the astronomy event was canceled, and I had already driven all that way. Experience at Jirani: This was a cute coffee house in historic downtown Manassas. The iced chai was excellent, and the staff was friendly. Then, the comedy at nearby ART Factory was great too as was the museum which had some free wine & hors d'oeuvres. If I'm ever in Manassas, I'd definitely try to get back to Jirani!

I also regularly buy a few paletas (popsicles) to save for a hot day like strawberry with yogurt, strawberry milk, nance milk (this has seeds so be prepared to spit out the nance seeds), and oreo. They have ice cream that I've yet to try, but it's a fun spot to bring the family to and then maybe head over to the brewery across the street.
