The service was prompt; however, the ice cream containers could use some TLC. The plastic containers look a bit unsightly and are broken. Anyway, the ice cream tasted good. They have a variety of flavors. The vanilla chocolate chip -- 5 stars ; the butter pecan-- 5 stars; we had 2 other flavors that were also 5 stars. There's no after taste like some of the places around. It's worth the trip. read more

It was hot as Hades and ice cream would hit the spot. We stumbled on this place with our walk home. I got the heath, and the wife got the butter brickle. I figured one scooper, but no, they give you one serving and it's a biggin. I wasn't mad at it. Servings are a meal. Delicious and fresh. They go through a lot of product. If you want I-C-E (ice cream code word when around small children who can't spell) this is the spot IMO for G-Town. read more

After seeing people standing in line for ice cream at this place, we decided to give it a try. We ordered a small cup, which lets you choose two flavors, and picked rum and raisin along with amaretto. The amaretto didn't really have much flavor, but the rum and raisin was delicious and very flavorful. Glad we tried it! read more

1 billion flavors to choose from in such little time. Well, maybe not a billion but plenty! The service was good and quick. The flavor ice cream I chose was amaretto and hazelnut. It was soo delicious. I'm definitely traveling back for more. read more

Pretty easily the best ice cream we've had anywhere. Great flavors, great portions. Went back second night in a row during our recent Georgetown visit. Definitely worth the stop. read more

I waited in line for maybe 15-20 mins, but the ice cream was good! They have such an extensive menu and it took me until I got to the front of the line to choose a flavor lol. I ended up choosing the pumpkin flavor since it was a seasonal flavor. Very creamy and delicious. read more

A classic ice cream shop this is a little bit over stimulating with all the people packed at the front door trying to get a sweet treat, and the large menu with tons of flavors. Additionally this place could use a revamp as the tables, chairs, flooring, and decor is old looking. The staff was ok but they only have 1 register in busy Georgetown. The ice cream is a great treat and they have a flavor for everyone in the family. I got the vanilla chocolate almond and throughly enjoyed it. My husband got strawberry and he was pleased as well. They also have ice cream cakes, chocolate, and coffee. There's also outdoor seating and street parking. read more

Do they have a ton of really cool flavors? Yes. Are they super busy and try to keep the line moving as fast as possible? Yes. Are they a little bit more rude than they should be? Yes. They also have a really weird role that you need to have a $10 minimum to have a credit card, really it's just a trick to make you have to buy more, which is pretty weird to me because I've never seen another restaurant do this. Just be aware of that before you come, with a group of friends, it is really fun to talk about all the different flavor options they have, and you will not be let down by them. I really loved the coffee Heath bar, and the butternickel, which is like a butterscotch toffee. read more

Came after a day shopping in GT and wasn't disappointed! The menu is super overwhelming but in the best way -- there's something for everyone here and the ice cream shop is a classic in that you can build your own sundae and add toppings to your hearts desire. I ended up with a bowl of vanilla toffee with a healthy dump og crushed butterfingers on top. The portion size was ginormous but that didn't stop me from eating the whole thing! Service was super quick snd efficient. There's limited seating inside and out so definitely prepare to take your sweets to go. There's also a $10 minimum for card payments which is easy to hit if you're paying for more than one but you may need yo tack on a cookie if youre just paying for yourself. The shop is a little dated looking and they could definitely use a deep scrub/remodel. We came around 7pm.on a Saturday and were pretty shocked it wasn't crowded since there's usually a line out the door. Not sure if it's worth the usual waits but definitely worth the visit! read more

Classic ice cream spot with tons of flavors! Ambiance & Service: Classic ice cream shop vibe with plenty of indoor seating. Service was quick, but double-check your size if you want the kids' small! I thought I ordered the smallest size and it ended up being their traditional small! Butterbrickle Ice Cream with Oreos: Smooth, creamy, and delicious! The butterscotch/toffee flavor is a must-try. TL;DR: Great spot for creamy ice cream--don't miss the Butterbrickle! read more

It's been awhile since I visited one of my favorite ice cream shop. They didn't disappoint. Same fast yet great customer service, many tasty flavors to choose from, and generous portions. I highly recommend getting their fresh tasty waffle cone with your order. My eyes were DEFINITELY bigger than my stomach when craving my three favorite flavors- rum raisin, amaretto, and coffee heath bar in their fresh made and tasty waffle cone. The coffee heath bar is not is an overly strong coffee flavor but you definitely taste the coffee flavor on the first lick then followed by crunchy heath bar pieces. The Amaretto has a mild almond crème based flavor. The rum raisin is a mild crème based flavor with very light rum flavoring and raisins all throughout. Rum raisin is my all time favorite ice cream and I'm picky because it's hard to find one that's flavorful with right balance of soft raisin pieces in it. Thomas Sweet has done it right! They also had samples of the heath bar fudge which was really good. Smooth and flavorful. Their fudge always looks so fresh and tasty. I wish they would sell it in smaller portions. I just can't eat that much. I recommend giving it a try as well. read more

Good and fair priced ice cream shop in Georgetown! They stay open really late which is a plus. Went at 9:30pm and there was a line. It seemed like they were the only place open at that time. We waited for about 20 min so it wasn't too bad. Plenty of seats for dine in (inside and out). There's a credit card minimum. The ice cream itself is very good! Lots of different flavors to choose from. I had the banana split and finished the whole thing by myself! read more

I saw this place on TikTok. Came to try it. 1 star would be too harsh, but definitely not worth the hype. It's not bad...it's just not "best ice cream" worthy. It's good, not great. read more

A million flavors to choose from. I got the tiramisu and I'm honestly always weary of cake-inspired ice cream because I find them heavy + I don't love cake/cookie/dough chunks in my ice cream (controversial opinion, I know). But I loved this flavor! Perfect hint of coffee + cream and perfectly reminiscent of tiramisu. Expensive yes but in keeping with the astronomical rise in ice cream flavors as of late and I always prefer to support small businesses. Also, pretty heaping scoop size -- they don't skimp! Note: During busy times they don't accept card, so bring cash just in case. read more

They've got it all -- ice cream, chocolates, swag, and ICE CREAM CAKES. I have not had one of those since I was a kid, but ice cream cakes... there's something magical about them. Anyways, I saw immediately that they had a Nutella flavor, but once I got finished sampling a few other contenders (they were quite strict about the number of samples per person), my cup of that ended up being a winner. Overall the staff weren't as friendly as I'm used to experiencing in ice cream shops. They've been around a while, and I see that they're in NJ as well. And the entire time, whether it was an exciting conversation or an upset, someone was shouting in the back. I didn't know what was going on XD. I stopped in because I wanted to support one of the smaller chains... next time I will probably have an ice cream cake :). read more

Standard ice cream spot with a ton of flavors and toppings available. My friends and I ultimately got two cups to share amongst the three of us. We got lemon sorbet and Oreo in one cup then mango and Dulce de leche in another. There was an okay amount of seatings outside but the only down side is that there are some bees flying around which makes it less enjoyable to consume the ice cream. read more

Who can say no to late night ice cream that offers TONS of flavor options?! Made it to Thomas Sweet at around 10:30pm because I needed some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream! I just had to have a cone. The line is usually out the door, but it moves pretty quick. The inside is rather small, so most people enjoy their cones outside BUT they do have a small seating area. They offer pints to take home as well as ice cream cookies and cakes. Coffee and chocolates are also available as well. It's a great place to get a tasty treat. read more

Besides the location, this was a well worth it experience! Ice cream had a high-quality, nostalgic flavor and there were plenty of other flavors options outside of ice cream to consider for next time read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid. This is definitely a great place to come for ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt, fudge or icecream cakes! They have indoor and outdoor sitting. Staff is always super generous with sizes! The picture below is a small btw! You gotta check it out. Soo many incredible flavors to choose from the chalk board! Ps. Better to probably walk here but if you're lucky you can finding a parking spot, but remember it's G'town! read more

I stumbled upon this infamous dessert spot by accident and I don't quite understand the hype. The portion sizes and variety were impressive but the cleanliness and taste were far below average. I had incredibly negative first impressions given how sticky the floors, tables and surfaces were. Gloves weren't being changed and someone behind the counter was counting coins and picking them off the floor. Sanitary conditions definitely weren't a priority. There was a $7 minimum for card so bring cash otherwise. Besides the vast number of ice creams offered, there were pints and premade ice cream sandwiches in the nearby freezers. Smoothies and shakes were available although I was unimpressed by the watery consistency. I ordered a regular strawberry which came with three hefty scoops. It tasted like the artificial bulk buy at Costco. The ice cream was on the harder side and very sweet. I didn't add on any toppings as they weren't refilled and crumbly. One of the least memorable ice cream shops I've been to and nothing to rave about. read more

Love their peppermint ice cream! One of the few places ice cream sodas can still be found.

I got peppermint, which is one of my favorite ice cream flavors (specifically if it has candy cane bits in it, which this did) that I look for in all the ice cream shops I go to. Very happy I was able to find it here. Coffee chip was also very good. Whole fam got a flavor they enjoy bc they offer many flavors. read more

Loooooved the ice cream options here. So many choices! Though, it's hard not to wonder what they're doing with all the revenue! They were packed but the establishment is a bit dated, in need of renovations. Nonetheless, feels like a classic candy and ice cream stop! Enjoyed my visit with friends! read more

I'm probably biased because we lived two blocks away from TS for years, but as my kids say, "It's the best ice cream in the world." Even former President Obama probably agrees. We saw him there once on Father's Day! The complaints about cleanliness here are all 100 percent valid, I'm sorry to report. But there's a reason there's always a line here, which typically winds out the door and around the corner. The ice cream is just the best. The biggest Thomas Sweet challenge in summer nights in DC is finishing your cone before it all melts! read more

It's becoming less common to see a homemade ice cream/yogurt/sorbet shop these days. The staff was kind, you can tell they had a lot of pride in their work. Being lactose-in-tolerant, I can't tolerate ice cream very well, so when I see so many frozen yogurt choices, I get a giddy feeling, I just want to eat everything! My husband and I ordered a few flavors to go, and it was such a delicious creamy treat, walking up the streets of the heart of Georgetown, on a super hot summer day. I can't wait to visit again and give them my business. read more

Was disappointed by this place. It was very overwhelming due the amount of people and extensive menu. Unfortunately, the ice cream was not very good. Do not understand the appeal. Pretty sure the employees just made up the prices because my group ordered the same thing on different tickets and each price was different. They were also extremely rude. Beware, there is a $10 minimum to pay with card. Additionally, the plasticware was gross and my partner cut his mouth open on a spoon. Also very dirty inside. read more

Extremely disappointing experience at Thomas Sweet. I ordered the black raspberry sorbet specifically because I am a repeat customer and enjoyed it the last time I visited Thomas sweet. Instead, I was given the dairy-based black raspberry ice cream. I noticed right away and politely went back to let them know, expecting a simple swap for what I originally asked for. Shockingly, they refused to replace it. No apology, no willingness to make it right, just a dismissive attitude. My husband even went back with me to support me, and they told him, "well, we already gave her the ice cream," as if that justified ignoring a clear mistake that affected my dietary restrictions. mistakes happen but the refusal to take responsibility and the lack of basic customer service was upsetting. We won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who expects their order to be taken seriously or corrected if wrong. plus the prices are ridiculous - go here if you want to pay $7 for a kids size ice cream, with a side of terrible treatment. read more

After filling our tanks with Greek food we needed to satisfy the sweet tooth. Some homeless guy with microwave on a skateboard said we need to be here. We waited in line for about 20 minutes where I heard a kid said " smell my finger". After I lost interest in that it was out time to order we saw the menu, it's like the Old Testament.... Soo many flavors I just told my wife to order and I will meet you at the register. Everybody got the flavor they wanted, except Aubrey, but I think she was still butt hurt from the fries at the Greek spot. When it's all said and done they have some cool flavors with many toppings and well worth the wait. And there is a picture of Joe Biden which made for interesting line conversation. read more

Five of us walked here on a Saturday night after dinner elsewhere in Georgetown. The line was wrapped around the block. But the line moved quickly. I got the pistachio and banana. I would get the banana again! The ice cream was so creamy!!! I want to come back and try more flavors. I was impressed with the large selection of flavors of both ice cream and frozen yogurt. There are only a few tables. So, we could not sit once we got our ice cream. I got the small size and it was huge! Highly recommend!!!! read more

I've been going here since I went to school at GW back in 2015. There is a bit of lacking in the cleaniless department, however the portion sizes and taste are immaculate. Ambiance - 3/5: Seating both outside and inside, but nothing special about the ambiance of this place. Definitely some to be desired in terms of cleanliness. Price - 4/5: Not bad pricing for ice cream based on portion sizes but it is a tad bit expensive. Food - 5/5: If this review was just based on the food, then it would be a 5/5 for sure. The coffee oreo is my favorite in a cone and it never fails to hit the spot. They also have a ton of options for flavors and toppings. Service - 5/5: Even when went as college students, late at night, the workers were always friendly and willing to help. My only issue is with the cleanliness of the location which could be improved for sure. This place is a 3/5 only due to lack of a great ambiance and cleaning, however only based on food it is a 5/5 so take that as you will. read more

I think that like majority of the places in Georgetown this is over rated. The variety of flavors was fun however they have NO prices to indicate how much anything is going to cost you.

For an old fashioned ice cream that's been consumed by several presidents including Obama and Biden, this is the stop for ice cream in the DC area. Even on a rainy day, there were still people lining up for ice cream. I got the large size with mango and tiramisu. The mango was delicious with fresh mango flavor. It's not the best I've had because it doesn't have large mango chunks, but it's still worth the order. I also loved the light tiramisu flavor - something I can't get anywhere else. Definitely a spot to visit in the DC area and especially worth the trek to Georgetown. I'm still thinking of the ice cream there now that I'm back on the West Coast. read more
