Sarah's Handmade Ice Cream River Road

Sarah’s Handmade is hands-down my favorite ice cream spot in the DMV. It’s a super cute mom-and-daughter–run shop with three locations, and they always have the most fun seasonal flavors. Some of my favorites are Black Sesame Crumb Cake, Matcha Cheesecake, Salted Oatmeal Cookie, and Banana Pudding . My boyfriend is obsessed with their “Pure Chocolate,” and I’m hooked on the “Dark Roasted Espresso Bean”, “Peanut Butter Fudge”, and “Black Raspberry Chip.” The staff is always so warm and friendly. I love chatting with the owners Sarah and Annie. They are the sweetest people ever!!!You can tell how passionate they are about making the highest quality ice cream and absolutely love what they do. I actually live about an hour away, but I’ll still make the drive just to grab a scoop. It’s completely worth it!

I use to go to the spot in west bethesda. my orthodontist was near. I love this place the ice cream is so creamy. I wish they come to nova. I usually get the oreo lover. but have also tried the blueberry swirl which is also good.

Great atmosphere. Lots of familiar and unique flavor choices. Good quality. They have flights available for sampling multiple flavors, I would recommend! I ended up having 9 total scoops between the flight and the extra scoops. Several of my selections were particularly good, the Oreo, Sandy Shore, the Ube, peppermint, and the blonde. It's a must visit if your like ice cream and are in the area! My friends who joined me agreed it was worth the trip!

Great flavors with some unique ones and seasonal ones as well. Many options such as brownie and cookie sandwiches too. The ice cream was rich and delicious. Highly recommend!!

Sarah’s is an absolute gem. If you are searching for an ice cream shop that is timeless and unforgettable, this place delivers. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by a wonderful team of young people. They are prompt and attentive. The flavors don’t chase fads or gimmicky combinations, they capture the essence of the classic flavors that you want to enjoy. The seasonal treats are a fun addition in the rotation. In short, Sarah’s is a good reminder of why the classics never go out of style.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I know that Sarah’s has gotten its flowers in the DMV, but as someone who recently moved to the area from NYC, it deserves even more. This is simply the best ice cream I have ever had. You may have the inclination to avoid the classic flavors and only try Sarah’s “cooler creations” that inclination is wrong. Not because the “cooler creations” aren’t great, but because the classic flavors will rewire your brain chemistry. The first time I tried the butter pecan (one of my favorites) I was upset because every butter pecan id ever eaten paled in comparison. I cant recommend this place enough. On top of the phenomenal ice cream the staff is outstanding, warm, kind and attentive. Go get some ice cream, you deserve it!

Great ice cream with tons of flavors, one flavor for $5, two for $6! Like most places, they offered free samples and I really appreciated the clipboard wall to clearly display all the flavors they had available. There were 3 different freezers, and so many options for cones, shakes, toppings, and even pints to take home 🍦🍨 I really enjoyed the matcha cheesecake and the orange chocolate chip flavors, as well as red velvet cake that had chunks of cake in their ice cream, that I tried but there were so many to choose from that I couldn’t try so I’d be happy to check it out again!

What a true delicacy. My kids and I enjoy the ice cream here so much. It truly is one of a kind delicious gourmet ice cream.

Great flavors with some unique ones and seasonal ones as well. Gluten free and dairy free options as well. Many options such as brownie and cookie sandwiches too. The ice cream was rich and delicious. Highly recommend!! No seating outside and limited seating inside. Service was quick and friendly. The plaza this one is in has a little shadier atmosphere than the one to the north, so if you'd like to go when it's darker I'd recommend the one to the north of this one.

I come back to Sarah's all the time because they always have such fun and delicious flavors to try. Recently, and my most recent obsession is the black sesame crumble flavor. The key lime pie was also really good. The staff allow 2 free samples. A small shop, but there are plenty of seats.

Wow! This place was a pleasant surprise to find nearby! Our new tradition is to order food from Ledo Pizza next door and come here to down an ice cream cone while we wait for our order (we are not obese, I promise). The best part about this place is the unique options they have for flavors. My current favorite is the Rockville Rocky Road. You can't find flavors like that at other ice cream stores. And the quality is amazing. It's hard to go back to Baskin-Robbins once you experience Sarah's! Another thing to note is the value. You can get a sugar cone for $5. Compared to the neighboring Heights food hall options, you'll save around $3 per cone and the quality is better. They also sell their ice cream by the pint in case you want to take it home. Highly recommend stopping by!

I ordered the ice cream flight (great idea) with the following flavors: coffee Oreo, lemon poppyseed shortbread, butter pecan, brownie brittle, mint chocolate chip, and I forget the last one. My rankings: Coffee Oreo: 3/5 Lemon poppyseed shortbread: 2/5 Butter pecan: 5/5 Mint chocolate chip: 4/5 Brownie brittle: 1/5 Forgotten flavor: 5/5 Overall the ice cream is pretty good. The unique flavors weren't that great but their simple flavors were. The brownie brittle was a let down.

I love this place! I feel like if you are looking for really good ice cream (for a fairly good price), then you need to go to Sarah's. Funnily enough, we originally walked up to Jeni's in Bethesda and the line was so long, the list of ice creams was very short, and it was $7 for two HALF scoops. Instantly, we turned around and that is when I remembered Sarah's was pretty close by. Thank goodness we came here instead. The homemade waffle cones are so good! And I love that the menu is always changing and seasonal. I ended up getting the brownie almond coconut ice cream and the party cake ice cream. Both of which had great toppings mixed in. I can't complain! The actual store is really small, but they have benches outside to sit on. But if there is no bench available, then sadly you might have to eat the ice cream in your car. The other Bethesda location has a bunch of seating, but this one was closer.

It was fine, nothing that stands out. Flavors are too sweet and treatment towards guests vary based on who knows what - if the owner knows you already? ICE CREAM (3/5): Got two flavors, one coffee-based and one fruit based. They were ok but extremely sweet and we couldn't finish it. I really wish they would reduce the sugar. It's not edible and people shouldn't be eating such sweet items. AMBIANCE: (?/5) not rating this since it's just an ice cream shop, no seating indoors and seating is all outdoors like an ice cream shop SERVICE (3/5): I really did not like the service. It looked like a mom and daughter duo working that day in some form and they would smile real big at some people, but to others including us, very cold. I also think you need to get rid of your TIPS option because why exactly are you asking for tip... ? We wait in line to get ice cream and you ring us up. What is the tip for?

Love the Thai iced tea flavor. I've been to both locations. Staff is mostly teenagers. Some more friendly than others, but that's ok. You can get a pint to go of any flavor. I bought three Thai iced tea pints that's how amazing they are.

It says homemade but many of the flavors have loads of artificial colors and a gummy consistency like Dryers or other grocery store ice cream. It definitely does not compare to other high quality ice cream. However for a family friendly spot, the service is great and the prices are reasonable.

Delicious ice cream! Great flavors and fast service! Very well priced too! I love this place!!!

Delicious ice cream with 20+ unique flavors with 1/2 dozen seasonal flavors (vegan flavors and even special ice cream for pups!). The ice cream is made fresh in small batches daily and doesn't melt right away. The service is great as I can nab a few samples before deciding on a flavor (the flavors are so good that it's hard to choose!) As the ice cream is so decadent, you don't need to add any toppings. The Oreo Lovers ice cream is hands-down my favorite and bursting with flavor from chunks of Oreos as the base rather than Vanilla ice cream. The Coffee Oreo is unique and has a bold coffee flavor with large chunks of Oreos and tastes like a Mocha. Glad there's another more centralized location in Wildwood Shopping Center in Bethesda near Montgomery Mall. I've visited 1/2 dozen times between both locations and love coming back!

This icecream is sooo good in this cute place...!!! You've got tons of flavors to choose from-- I love so many black raspberry chip, Thai iced tea, peppermint stick, lavender honey-- coffee Oreo! I could keep going!! My mom opted for just vanilla and dark chocolate in a waffle cone this time around. She frequences this place more than me! You won't be disappointed---! And if you are, my deepest apologies-- hopefully the person who came with you will enjoy it! Service was lovely-- I could even try flavors before I committed to my choices! Hope your tastebuds get a thrill!

Sarah's Handmade is honestly one of my favorite ice cream spots around. The flavors are super unique and you can really tell everything is made with care. The shop itself has such a chill vibe and the people working there are always welcoming. It's the kind of place you want to go hang out with friends after school or grab a treat with family.

Definitely one of the best ice cream shops in the area. You can buy a flight of 6 ice cream flavors if you cannot choose which flavor you want. I would definitely recommend.

The Oreo lover ice cream is amazing. I love how the ice cream base itself has Oreo flavor, it's not just Oreo mix-ins. But there are a lot of Oreo mix-ins too! It's a real Oreo ice cream, it's not like a lot of other stores' Oreo or cookies and cream flavors that are almost just vanilla. The fudge brownie ice cream has good brownie pieces but the base itself wasn't special as a chocolate ice cream. Overall not super chocolatey. I think the brownie mix-in is the same brownie as what you can order for their brownie ice cream sandwich or just a plain brownie. The brownie has a distinct brownie flavor that works well as a mix-in, but it's a bit on the cakey side for eating alone. Good but not my favorite style of brownie. The Oreo lover ice cream is really special though, great flavor and texture. The amount you get for a half and half scoop is good, not too little or too much.

well, what do you know? ask to see a list of all ingredients. i did so recently and was stunned..stupified.. to learn that no, the food colorings and ingredoents are not 'all natural' at all, but...syrups! having several health conditions, i asked if, in fact, there are no artificial colors or dyes and beet juice was used for natural red coloring as i had been told in another location. imagine my horror when the employee read the ingredients on the plastic bottled 'syrup mix' used to make the black raspberry chip': 'corn syrup, food coloring, artificial flavors'!! this explains why the flavors and colors are so intense, and t3xture is so viscuous!! tons and tons of added sugar, syrups, and artificial colorongs and flavors after all!! drmand transparency from these people. demand to see what is used in mak8ng the oce cream that is not on their nutrition list. sickening to me and now i k ow why everything...even the coffee flavor is so strong and weird. its fake. call them on this and see for yourself. demand to see the labels on any and all products 'hidden' in the back!! horrific. now i know the root cause of strange nastiness and almost 'secrecy' at my first experience. apparently, they have much to hide! buyer beware. if they won't show you these ingredients, take your business elsewhere. i have.

Super delicious! Really enjoyed the salted caramel! It tastes very natural and fresh, which makes it that much more appealing to the taste buds!

When it comes to ice cream, I'm not big on traditional flavors. That's why I love Sarah's handmade ice cream shop because they have fun, unique, and seasonal flavors. I assume the cinnamon apple crisp ice cream is a seasonal fall flavor but it's definitely one I'd like to see on the menu year-round. It's like apple crisp à la mode on a cone.

Had a terrible experience with a pick up order. 1 of the pints I received was the wrong ice cream. I had driven to the store to pick everything up. My kids realized the mistake when we were almost home, which meant I had to turn around and drive back. The only remedy offered after having to waste the time on an additional trip due to their mistake was to swap my incorrect pint with the correct one. The young woman working there was extremely rude about the situation and acted like they did nothing wrong, and I should be happy with them giving me the ice cream I ordered and leave. Meanwhile, I have 4 upset kids in the car waiting an extra 30 minutes for their ice cream (while the other stuff we ordered melted in the car). I sent feedback through their website and waited for a response but never received one. I have very little time in my life, so if a business wastes it and does not care that they do, then I have no interest in spending money there. We used to frequent Sarah's multiple times a month, but I will never go back. There are too many other wonderful businesses out there who are working hard to take care of their customers not taking them for granted like Sarah's.

We went here with three generations of our family tonight, and everyone was super happy with their yummy ice cream. Servers had a great attitude, and even though our orders were a little bit complicated, everything was perfect. and we loved it. It was so fun. Thank you for giving giving us ice cream.

Fabulous banana split....pineapple upside down cake and banana pudding are two fabulous flavors.

This is the second location and a bit closer to us, but not quite the same feel that the Wildwood location has. The ice cream is still fantastic though. We got the bourbon-spiced pumpkin bread and earl grey speculoos ice cream, while the kids got the M&Ms ice cream. The earl grey wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. Just not quite enough tea. The pumpkin bread was really, really good though and definitely hit the spot for a late-October treat. The kids got the M&M ice cream, which was better than I expected. It was much closer to eating an actual M&M than just chocolate ice cream with some M&Ms in it. The toppings were (as always) really good. There's something magical about almost-frozen gummy worms that still makes me happy as an almost-40-year-old. Since it was a rainy afternoon, it was really nice that they had a few outdoor benches that were under the building's overhang and thus still dry. Still, the outdoor space is small and not particularly inviting and the indoor space is non-existent. The Wildwood location has a nicer setup if you actually want to spend some time eating your ice cream.

Ordered bubble tea, was charged and then told they're out. Got some mediocre ice tea with milk. Also they were out of cup lids. Service was chaotic.

I love all the flavors here. However, Sarah's Lemon Poppyseed ice cream is the stuff dreams are made of. You can really tell that the ice cream is high quality. Do not be deterred by the price. You're paying a premium for the good stuff. I've been to both of their locations and the staff is always really nice. I have yet to order an ice cream cake, but it's definitely on my food wish list!

When I first heard of Sarah's Handmade Ice Cream, I loved the concept- a mother-daughter team building an artisanal ice cream shop business, what a wonderful idea! So today I finally made it here and the ice cream is pretty darn wonderful too. As is the staff - major props to the patience and kindness of everyone working behind the counter to keep insane summer holiday weekend of crowds happy. They allow two samples per customer, and even though I would have loved to try another flavor I behaved myself and just asked for the lavender-honey as a simple. Rich and creamy but honestly not as intensely flavored as I hoped, so I went with a single-scoop of summer peach melba on a cake cone instead. Peach is one of my favorite ice cream flavors, and Sarah's melange of peach ice cream with pockets of raspberry sauce speckled throughout did not disappoint. My partner orders blueberry anything whenever he can get it, and he loved the blueberry swirl from Sarah's with ribbons of crushed blueberries in delicious vanilla ice cream. Honestly this was a bit of a trek for us non-drivers, so not sure when we'll be able to return for a round two, but whether it's to this location or to the one on Old Georgetown Road, this is definitely an ice cream shop I'll want to keep supporting whenever I can. PS Can I also note that the ice cream here is a STEAL? I can't remember the last time I had a great artisanal ice cream scoop like this for less than $5, (ESPECIALLY in the DC area) and it was a generous scoop too! Disregard the reviews here suggesting that the ice cream at Sarah's Handmade Ice Cream & Treats is expensive - I concur with Ann R. of Baltimore, who in her 2021 review declared her ice cream "delicious" at a "great price."

Ever since my mom moved to this area from Boston, we have been searching for a hot fudge sundae here that rivals what she used to have in Massachusetts. We found it and better. Sarah's is amazing. My mom said the ice cream was super creamy ice and portion of hot fudge generous. Definitely worth the hype.!

I visited this ice creamery with a group and we were able to sit socially distant outside under the roof which was awesome because it happened to downpour while we were there. The staff was super helpful and accommodating. Again, there was a group of us (9 in total) so they had us come in 3 at a time to place our order and then I went in and paid afterwards and it was contactless!!! Also, the variety of flavors is fabulous and they have vegan mint chocolate chip - hello!!!! And so many sorbet flavors! Oh and did I mention the ice cream sandwiches? And the open faced brownie sandwich?!?!?

Amazing ice cream flavors!! I need to go back and try more! Got the seasonal sandy shore chesapeake and java almond chip, both delicious.

This is such a fun ice cream shop! There's not many non-chains around so this was a delight. There was a variety of flavors and toppings; a unique range suited for both adults and children. I definitely recommend coming to this shop for delicious ice cream. There is limited indoor seating but there is plenty of outdoor seating. Apple Pay and card tap payments are accepted which makes paying easy. It was more on the pricier side ($-$$) but I think worth it. For example, I ordered a 1 scoop in a cake cone and a 2 flavor half and half scoop in a cup which came out to $10.30. A "flight" of ice cream is only $14.99 and that is 6 scoops in a muffin type take-out tray. I love the idea of a "flight" so you can try a variety of flavors. I liked while waiting in line, you could look at the wall with pictures hanging of the ice cream flavors. I'm very much someone who likes to see what I'm ordering before I buy it! There are plenty of staff which made ordering and receiving the ice cream a swift process. I visited May 2022, on a Friday around 6pm. I wasn't in line long and the ice cream was fresh.

This ice cream place offers a fascinating variety of flavors which I perused for some time. They also offer a variety of sorbets and a couple of vegan ice cream flavors. I've been on the lookout for non-dairy mint chip for a while, and this is one of the few places I've seen that has offered it. It wasn't 100% there, not the best vegan cream I've tasted, but it was mintier than some actual mint ice cream I've had; the texture just wasn't as smooth. I also tried a dairy flavor (not the mint chip, which I really should have sampled for comparison). The blueberry swirl was quite magnificent, and possessed the full creamy flavor and texture one expects of ice cream. It's a good choice to have. Interestingly enough, I thought to try a waffle cone, but they actually dissuaded me from doing it; they said they were experimenting with the recipe and the cones of the day had not come out well. This kind of increases the chances I might come back, perhaps to try a waffle. I would definitely sample different flavors; they had so many good-looking ones.

Okay so I came into this location on accident but what a sweet mistake! I was supposed to go to the other location for a Yelp elite experience but the gentleman behind the counter was kind enough to still honor my party pass. He said the other location was a bit of a drive. Being that I had already made a bit of a drive, I was highly appreciative! I got a scoop of the sweet cornbread because it seemed intriguing. I like things that add texture to my ice cream. So this was a nice blend of smooth creaminess with the texture of the cornbread bits. The cornbread wasn't over powering but a nice combination. The awnings/signs at this location are temporary in nature right now. Perhaps the facades are going through a renovation. When you turn into the shopping center you have to make an immediate right, otherwise you'll miss it. There's no room inside to sit so you'll have to just enjoy your ice cream on one of the nice benches outside. This is a cute shop with quality ice cream and quality customer service. I'll be back for sure.

I was walking down a nearby trail and came upon this! I'm not that fond of ice cream but it was highly recommended by an elderly couple who often grabs dessert here. They had a variety of American-style ice creams as well as Asian style. The ones that caught my eye were the Thai tea, earl grey, and lavender honey. Earl grey with the lavender honey combination is heavenly. The lavender honey -- you could definitely taste the small hint of the flower. Not overpowering at all. I would order this again. The early grey was banal. I drink a lot of tea, so I didn't find anything spectacular about that. It tasted delicious, nonetheless, but I wish it had a stronger earl grey tea flavor.

This is a nice little ice cream shop in a strip mall in Bethesda. I had never heard of the place, but had long been intrigued and tempted to order some ice cream when I saw them on Door Dash. But I couldn't get over the steep price tag (once you add the extra costs for delivery, service fees, and tips to the baseline cost) and the chance I was taking to get a wet, soupy mess. So I decided that I would make the drive to the shop one weekend to check it out for myself. All in all, I think this is a great shop. Would I drive out of my way to go to it again? No. But if you're already in the area, you should definitely stop in. It's pretty good ice cream (better than the stuff in grocery store tubs) in a lot of fun flavors. Though the staff was nice enough to let me sample a couple of other flavors, I ended up getting two scoops of my old stand-bys (Oreo and Salted Caramel) that I always get whenever I go to an ice cream shop. I don't know why I even bother trying anything else because I always come back to these two.

I was in the area and I was in need of something to cool me down on the hot day. I found this place and I'm so happy I did! I came when there was a whole kids soccer team in front of me and their service was so fast. I was expecting to be waiting for such a long time, but they served everyone so quickly. I appreciated that they put all of their flavors on the wall so it was easy to read while people were in front of the ice cream tubs. As for the ice cream itself - it was delicious! I personally like ice cream that is almost "chewy" and this place definitely delivered. The party cake made me feel like a little kid, eating my birthday cake. I wanted to try their berry flavor since I like fruity flavors sometimes and it definitely hit the spot. Not too tart, not too sweet - a great balance of everything. Their pricing was also very fair. I had two big scoops and it was only $7 which I thought was a great price. I'm so glad I found my favorite local ice cream shop!

Sarah's ice cream is delicious and fresh, and they have a number of great creative flavors. Their Pure Chocolate ice cream is the only chocolate ice cream I've ever had that deserves to be called chocolate -- it's truly amazing.

This is definitely one of the most flavorful sets of ice cream my partner and I have ever had. Still less creamy than dedicated farm-to-cone spots on literal farms, but plenty creamy enough and just packed with goodness for your taste buds. My partner and I got the coffee Oreo and s'more please flavors. In the former you can really taste the coffee with the generous chunks of Oreo. In the latter, smilar with the soft yet still slightly graham cracker bits with melts marshmallow. The shop sits on a cute boutique strip mall with plenty of parking. Inside is quite warm and cozy, even during the winter as an ice cream place! There are also cute books for sale and holiday decorations. Not much seating, but probably enough for most hours of the day if you consider folks tend to come in and out of ice cream shops quickly. We will most certainly come back here.

Weirdly next to the impoverished crime-ridden Kenwood neighborhood with no sidewalks and 5 gas stations, this place is a gem. The cookies and dough ice cream is the best I've ever had. I think it has both full-baked and half-baked cookies in it. Coffee Oreo ice cream is great too. And the oatmeal cookie ice cream.... I think they're experts at cookie-based ice cream. Nowhere does it as well.

The ice cream was so good definitely recommend if ur in the area! The Service was wonderful! They were very fast.

Good homemade ice cream since there are not many around the Bethesda area. However, it was a bit sweet. I think if they cut down on the sugar some, this would definitely be 5 stars. The flavors and creaminess of the ice cream were very good. Had the Oreo and the coffee Oreo and both were good. The Oreo was maybe the best even though I tend to like coffee ice cream best. The Oreo ice cream had Oreo flavor as the base instead of just vanilla which made it stand above other Oreo ice creams. Try this place out if you want some homemade ice cream in the area but stick to a small since it is very sweet.

I brough my sister and her boyfriend on a hot July day. What a great selection fo flavors! We all were satisfied with our choices. You can tell the rich ice cream is fresh. Even the vegan double chocolate was fantastic. The one problem is extremely limited seating inside and out.

We were greeted by all staff with smiles! One of them said let us know when you are ready. We were not rushed while we studied their vast offerings. I settled on Bailey's chip and a chocolate shake for my DD. They even brought out her shake while we sat outside. So many yummy flavors between the two locations: Thai iced tea, lavender honey, espresso chip, Bailey's, Keylime, Pistachio, Oreo lovers, to name a few. The picture below does not do justice. I highly recommend Sara's on River Road!!

Ice cream was good. Serving size ridiculous. Paying $5 for what amounted to a toddler's portion size is unacceptable- even if it's in Bethesda. Literally touched the bottom of the container when I dipped my spoon in for the first bite. I got the regular size, and walking out, wanted to turn back and double check it wasn't the extra small bc it was so diminutive. I know ice cream can be labor intensive, but if I'm honest, I paid less in products (by overall quantity) for the foie gras ice cream I made at home- and I didn't skimp on quality. Service is very attentive. Everyone was super polite. No samples, so that makes choosing much harder bc they have really interesting flavors and it's expensive so... 4 stars for service and flavor.

Service was good, ice cream wasn't. Got pistachio and banana pudding; pistachio wasn't good, didn't really taste like pistachio. Banana pudding was overpowered like the banana. Ambiance was kind of rushed and hectic.

My daughter and I had been here before for ice cream and absolutely loved it, so when it came time for her birthday and she wanted an ice cream cake, I immediately looked here! The choices are fantastic and the cake was absolutely delicious - ours was half honey lavender and half salted caramel - and all of our gas came back for seconds and thirds. Adults too! The service was also great as they checked on our order and let us know when it was ready. Will definitely come here again for ice cream and for ice cream cake!

Sarah's has made some great changes for The COVID pandemic to keep patrons safe. 1) only one patron allowed in at a time 2) online ordering platform (or you can call in) 3) employee delivers food out to you in person, or in your car Also not to mention that their ice cream is fresh creamy and delicious! Oh and not overly sweet! I'll be back soon for a cold treat!

Very delicious ice cream! Especially the banana pudding ice cream If you are ever in the DC area make sure to visit.

Phenomenal ice cream, service and prices. I can't say enough about this business and they seem to be recovering from the Covid closure that has hit so many small businesses. The best part of this ice cream place is the selection of flavors. Each one seems to hit its mark and I haven't had something unique here that has outright disappointed me. I think ice cream places have to have two things down well. The quality of the ice cream and selection of flavors. The quality is very good and the selection is even better. Only thing was that I couldn't sample here due to Covid which is understandable. A shame really, I would be here all day! Highly recommend a try.

Overrated. OK ice cream for the price. Not very creamy. We tried the oreo, cookie dough, and mint flavors. Not bad, but also nothing to rave about. Friendly service, very limited indoor seating. Cute shop.
