Ruby Scoops is an adorable and vibrant ice cream shop nestled in the Brookland Park neighborhood. This shop is not very big, but full of interesting flavors, and a variety of options for dietary needs! They have a good selection of vegan & gluten free ice cream & other treats. They have a rotating menu displayed on small clipboards on the wall, which I thought was a unique touch. There seemed to be quite a price difference between regular ice cream scoops and milkshakes, plus there are additional charges for some add-ons, so it can get a little more expensive than other ice cream shops. I did wind up getting a cake batter milkshake, as I wasn't planning on staying and eating ice cream there. The milkshake had good flavor and consistency. There was only one person working as it was a weekday afternoon, and she was very nice and efficient to get people through the line as quick as she could. There is some bench seating along the front windows and a bar top to sit and eat while you're there. I would definitely recommend trying this place out in the area! read more
