    Coffee ice cream

    Considering it's union market, the creamery really isn't terribly priced! I got their coffee ice cream and it was SO GOOD.

    Sarah A.

    Was really impressed by all the different flavors that they had. I tried multiple and they were all good. I'm definitely recommend them and they had really good service. The vibe was relaxed and there wasn't really much seating around them, but you can find somewhere else to see in the general area. Overall, I would recommend coming here. It is pricey for the size that you get, but the quality is good.

    Absolutely delicious ice cream. I got two scoops (cookies and cream, and tres leches cake) and both were amazing, creamy, and sweet, with the latter being my favorite (I love the taste of tres leches). Very generous portion and well priced. Super quick service too and I liked the vibe since it's a food hall and there's energy everywhere.

    Cute little spot. I had to give 5 stars because of the oatmilk mint ice cream!!! The service is great especially with greetings from the cute little baby. I have 1 request though. Can you make a few sugar cookies without sprinkles?

    Lemon Blueberry (Kid's Scoop)
    Ailun H.

    I've heard good things about The Creamery and I'm glad we all tried it this past Friday night -- definitely made a positive impact on our evening :) KIDS SCOOP - 4.45 A pretty small scoop but perfect for a mini sweet treat. They let us sample the flavors here and the lemon blueberry was definitely my favorite. The first thing I tasted was the tart and strong citrus flavor of the lemon, which hit hard. Then the flavors slowly divulge into something sweeter like fresh berries. A good amount of people in our group got the lemon blueberry, pistachio or Bischoff cookie flavors. The ice cream were incredibly smooth and creamy, and not too sweet. I'd recommend giving The Creamery a try if you're in the Union Market District!

    One of the few places I enjoy hand dipped ice cream, as I normally prefer to find soft serve. I've had their cookies and cream before and it was delicious. I tried the butter pecan on this trip, but it was lacking pecans so I'll probably switch it up again on the next trip. It was still very good, though. I also love that they support other local businesses with their small market items. I just wish I had gotten a pint or so to go!

    Small ice cream shop inside of Union Market offering ice cream and cookies. There aren't a ton of flavor options (only 3 or 5 available when I visited) but the nutella biscoff cookie flavor I did get was delicious. With tax it was $4.89 for a single scoop kids cone.

    This Java Chip was "chef's kiss"! So good!
    Delia W.

    Loved that I could test out a new flavor! The Java chip is so good. Definitely a new go to stop for the spring/summer.

    My second stop in D.C. on the cookie excursion. I ended up getting ice cream there and saving the cookie for later. I was really pleased with the ice cream. I ordered biscotti and cream and it was blissful. The little golden brown pieces of biscotti cookies immersed well throughout the sweet ice cream to my delight! I savored every small bite to make it last as long as I could. The cookie was another story. The chocolate chip cookie was disappointingly flat and lacking any potential. A giant disappointing miss for the cookie.

    The ooey  gooey chocolate chip cookies are the best cookies in DC!!!!
    Aarti B.

    Skip the ice cream and go for the cookies! The ooey gooey chocolate chip cookies with gobs of fudgy chocolate in every bite are hands-down the BEST chocolate chip cookies in DC! The single split scoop of Cookies and Cream just didn't hit the mark. The ice cream is very sweet and the toppings are sparse and not well mixed into the vanilla base flavor. The toppings need to be more evenly distributed and embedded into the ice cream. The former ice cream shop, Trickling Springs Creamery was soo goood!

    Ice Cream!
    Otniel L.

    We were inside of Union Market for quick little bites and decided to get a little "digestif" as I like to call it. We stopped by this delicious ice cream shop with various selections and I had the pumpkin ice cream. It's creamy, the flavor isn't overpowering with notes of nutmeg. I think it's the perfect fall dessert after getting stuffed with all the wonderful selections inside of the Union Market! I'll definitely give them another visit and try some other flavors. Also, the staff were very friendly and quick! -ODL Follow my IG: @AOEAT

    Cookies and cream
    Zabrina H.

    Highly recommend the cookies and cream flavor! It has chucks of a cookie and chocolate chips. Creamery has such good ice cream I just wish they had more flavors! They had about 8 to choose from.

    From Clockwise: Nutella Biscoff Cookie & Chocolate Peanut Butter, Mango & Chocolate, and Oreo & Vanilla Peanut Butter Cup
    Gabriella C.

    Loved the creamy consistency of the ice cream! I appreciate how delicious the vanilla base is and the addition of toppings (Reece's cups and Oreos) really elevated the flavors! Quick service! Only thing is that it is hard to find seating to enjoy the ice cream since it's in Union Market! Overall would love to come back here though!

    The ice cream was good but it had little crystals of ice in it. That made it hard to enjoy. I wouldn't go back.

Very helpful staff, cute ice parlor vibes and decor..what's not to like!

I ordered the raspberry cheesecake ice cream and honey, after one bite, I thought that I was eating dairy because it was THAT creamy and good! Filled with flavor and delicious to the last drop, I thoroughly enjoyed it on a sugar cone. But here is where I laugh to myself because I sat outside, enjoyed a delicious ice cream and decided to then try a patty lol yes! I ordered one of the curry chicken patty and as a native Island gal, this place knows how to blend their flavors. Those patties were buttery soft and filled with flavor inside-ENJOYED IT! Would I return? YES! I do hope that they expand their vegan flavors but yes yes yes! It's hot in the District, stop by local and enjoy a well deserved treat.

They have a great list of unique rotating flavors, and it's always fun to come back to try out their new seasonal releases. A few of my favorites over the years have been their hibiscus sorbet -- a delightful dairy-free addition to their Hispanic Heritage Month flavors that is the perfect balance of tangy and sweet -- the cinnamon cardamom -- a super spiced ice cream that, despite being freezing cold, feels like you're about to drink a warm beverage -- and blueberry sour cream crumble. When I'm feeling less adventurous, they also have a really solid strawberry ice cream that uses real berries (none of that artificial nonsense you see in grocery stores) with a delightful fruity, slightly tangy flavor. There's usually a pretty long line, but it moves quite quickly since they don't allow samples. It's also a small space that gets crowded pretty easily, so I'd recommend taking your ice cream to go and enjoying it as you walk around Mt Pleasant or on the benches just below the entrance to Mount Desert.

They also don't let people sample, which is weird for an ice cream place. Overall, I would not recommend this place because paying $8+ to take a random chance on ice cream flavors is not worth it at all. At least let us sample first...

I've never had a waiter reach across the screen on an obvious Zoom call to put the drink on my side. 5.

I said absolutely not. I need to see it. She proceeds to just keep standing there to try and force me to pay without seeing my bill. I have never been at an establishment that not only will not let you see your bill, but tells you to pay and then you can see your bill. She does this about three times and we're at a standstill to the part where I say I will leave if you do not show me my bill and I can call and pay for it afterwards and then she's able to go to the register and get a copy of my bill which it shouldn't have been that difficult and then I say I would actually like to talk to the manager. 6. The manager was pointless. If I was a manager, I would be completely remorseful and apologetic and he was neither. the main question he kept asking was is there something wrong with the bill. Which I responded, what's going on a customer should be able to see the bill without going through all these hoops and he asked me again. Was there a question about the Bill. I responded again. I should be able to see my bill without all of these other their questions. This was a disappointing experience at a restaurant. They drove out of my way to go to. A customer should not have to call a manager over just to see a copy of their bill. To keep standing there after I said I want to a copy expecting me to pay without seeing the bill is wild and unacceptable. And a manager should absolutely handle it better when their employees doing this. Bad customer service.
