Great spot for ice cream and coffee with a laid-back vibe. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and there were plenty of unique and classic flavors to choose from. I had the mint chocolate chip and it was super creamy and delicious. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, which made it a nice place to hang out for a bit. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area and craving something sweet!

If you're in Old Town Alexandria and in the mood for a sweet treat, The Creamery is the place to be. This charming, family-owned shop has been serving up homemade, small-batch ice cream since 1984. It's hard to miss with its inviting exterior, complete with fun animatronic bears enjoying ice cream, giving it a nostalgic and whimsical feel. Inside, you'll find a cozy atmosphere perfect for enjoying your scoop, though many prefer to take their cones to go and enjoy them while strolling through the picturesque streets of Old Town. With over 30 unique flavors, there's something for everyone—classic options like Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry, alongside local favorites like Orange Chocolate Chip and Lemon Custard. For those feeling adventurous, flavors like Coffee Oreo and Black Raspberry Cheesecake are also on the menu. The ice cream here is incredibly creamy and flavorful, and it's clear that they use high-quality ingredients. Many people rave about the taste, and one reviewer even mentioned that it's "the most cost-effective ice cream in Old Town," making it a great deal. Whether you're a local or a visitor, The Creamery is a must-try destination for ice cream lovers. Its combination of fantastic flavors, quality, and welcoming atmosphere makes it a standout in Old Town Alexandria.

We visited on a Sunday evening in March. This is a great location right on King Street. There are restaurants and gift shops nearby. They have a wide variety of high quality ice cream options.

Great selection, quality, ice cream, great service. Couldn’t be any more pleased. Especially great on a hot day like today!

The vanilla soft serve was okay, banana pudding ice cream was super stretchy and rich and the shortbread pieces inside actually adds a lot to the ice cream, but at some point it did get a little too sweet.

Delicious ice cream with so many flavors to choose from! Tastes fresh, natural, and not overly sweet. The gentleman at the counter was also SO friendly and welcoming, surely making anyone walking through the door feel like family or old time friends. This will definitely be my ice cream spot from now on! All the other creameries lack this level of customer service!

This place is truly a nice. The costumer service was good with great staff, and an all-around welcoming atmosphere. At night, it’s even more special—you can just walk in, enjoy the lively ambiance, and take in the beautiful sights nearby. After a tasty dinner, we went to get some ice cream, and it was the perfect way to end the evening. I absolutely loved the coconut flavor

Perfect sweet! perfect homemade! I can say that this ice cream does not kill my throat like other ice creams. I didn’t taste any artificial, it tastes so real. I can say the difference.

My afternoon plans after a conference were supposed to involve ubering into DC to see the Smithsonian museums. When the Uber surge price was $110 one way I reconsidered my plans. I hopped on Instagram and an ad for the Potomac river ferry popped up. I checked out the site and it was only $18 for a 20 minute ferry ride to old town Alexandria. The boat was leaving in 10 minutes. I dashed out of my hotel room, following Google maps and located the big Ferris wheel and the dock. I made it just in time. After a scenic and beautiful ride to Alexandria I realized I didn't know what to do now that I was there! I took a walk by a beautiful park, discovered some quaint stores, and heard about King Street. I did a search and saw several ice cream options. I didn't want a big chain, or even a touristy chain, I wanted something unique. I walked into the creamery and knew this was the place! I saw their top few flavors listed, and asked the staff for help. I ended up going with coconut because it was hot and this looked unique. I had my ice cream... but then what? I walked down king street, took a right and saw a different park. I couldn't find a free bench. I kept walking and saw sailboats! This is exactly where ice cream should be enjoyed. It was delicious, and was the perfect treat on a day when things all worked out!

I'm a big custard fan - so I usually get the twist custard on a cake cone, but they also have lots of different flavors for their old fashion ice cream, with different cone selections as well. The line can get long depending on the day, but they are usually well staffed and move quickly. Right on King Street, nice to be able to take your ice cream and walk along the water.

Great ice cream and custard options, friendly service, and perfect location. I kept it simple and ordered the vanilla custard with rainbow sprinkles. Worth stopping in if you have kids or have a sweet tooth after dining/walking around Old Town, Alexandria.

Me and my family were walking around after brunch and wanted dessert to we saw this on the way back to our garage. Place was pretty slammed but the line that was almost out the door moved really fast. We got two small rocky roads, a small coffee, and a small peanut butter fudge. Not too much seating aside from 3 small tables and a bench or two so we just sat inside since it was a hot day. All the ice cream was really creamy (I guess thats obvious). Better than a lot of ice creams i've had. The pb fudge was solid and it was a little subtle on the peanut butter though. Everyone else loved theirs too and the waffle cones were also pretty good. Definitely solid ice cream and decent prices. Not sure if its the best but there is a bunch of competition on this street and it had a huge line so you be the judge.

Small ice cram shop with no seating and very average ice cream They have a fair amount of flavors, but a ton of them had run out by the time I got there. Also have soft-serve frozen custard, but they only had chocolate by the time I got there also Only 1 free-sample per-person

Had to make a quick stop for ice cream while exploring Alexandria. The Creamery is located right in the heart of the shopping/restaurant area. Both hard ice cream and soft serve are available. Hard ice cream had lots of flavors. Soft serve was chocolate and vanilla. Service was quick. One person took the order. Another took payment. Staff were very nice! The inside was clean and well lit with lots of space for customers. No seating is available.

It's a tourist trap where an ice cream cone (2 scoops in a cake/waffle cone) will set you back $9. (in 2023) They do have vegan & nondairy options, which I appreciate, and the quality is good. But expect a line and confusion from their teenage wait staff, and a hurried "What do you want?!" not a "Welcome, can I help you?" attitude. No real adult supervision that I could see either. The store can be loud, kids screaming, but it's also decently decorated in the B&J motif and style. Maybe that's worth an extra star. For me- unless you are a tourist, you're actually better off getting a pint and a spoon at the local supermarket... and the selection variety is about the same. But you'll get more for your money too. But it's also decent food served in a decent store, so sure... splurge if you need a Ben & Jerry's cone fix.

Wow! Delicious ice cream! Came in on a very empty Monday afternoon to get some ice cream in a waffle cone. They had a small, board that showed the top six flavors that they sell. The first one is Oreo cookie and the second one is mint chocolate chip which is personally one of my favorites. So I ordered a double dip and a scoop of each in a waffle cone. It was quickly served up for me, I paid and I headed back out to walk the streets on such a beautiful day. I had been to Alexandria 2 days earlier and the line was out the door. Probably because it was so warm in October and that everybody wanted some delicious ice cream. I can't say enough about this place and I highly recommend going there. And getting some delicious hard and hand scooped ice cream.

Omg! So once again I found a sweet spot thanks to Yelp! It did not disappoint at all. I love ice cream but this place right here is the ice cream of all ice cream places. I mean who cares that I got to meet the co-owner and he was super duper cool. I didn't even ask and he offered me free samples. I was going to go with my traditional flavor but since he wasn't stingy with the samples, I made the mistake of tasting their gingerbread flavor and OMG I fell in love. I got one scoop and two hours later, I'm craving more. The ice cream is simply, incredibly delicious! I'm going back again because its not even over priced. It's so delicious, it's worth every cent. Just try it and I guarantee you will fall in love too!!

Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream anyone? I'm always on the search wherever I go for good flavorful homemade ice cream. It makes me happy. So when I was in Alexandria for the first time and it was a beautiful spring weather Saturday evening my ice cream craving kicked in. As always I checked Yelp and saw I was close to the The Creamery. There website showed several flavors that caught my interest and I found there story to be cool. It's the oldest continually operated ice-cream shop in downtown Alexandria that was founded in 1984. Upon entering it had a bit of an old ice parlor shop feel. I was cheerfully greeted and offered assistance. She kindly obliged me to try a few samples. Rum Raisin- my all time favorite was a hit. Unfortunately, the Key Lime Pie and also coconut wasn't the same experience. I was so bummed they didn't have the Black Vanilla Cherry as stated on the website menu. Her and another associate wasn't familiar with that flavor so I showed them the website then she asked a gentleman that looked to be either the manager or owner. He said it's there summer flavor. Now that we cleared that up I moved on to find another flavor along with my Rum Raisin. Makes it more fun and interesting that way. I settled with waffle cone Pistachio and Cherry Vanilla which had lots of cherries all throughout and looked pretty. As I was checking out a group of individuals came in and the line got long quick. I guess they're having the ice cream crave too. lol . I quickly paid and dashed out to enjoy my ice cream along with the lovely weather - great combo. The waffle cone was crunchy and flavorful. It went well with the ice cream and worth the extra charge. As I continued to eat the Pistachio I began to like it less and less. It had a slight aftertaste from an ingredient they used but I couldn't figure out what it was. Plus, it didn't have much of a flavor - a bit too bland for my liking. Glad I had the Cherry Vanilla to enjoy along with it as they were on top of each other. The Rum Raisin was in the very bottom of the scone saving the best for last. Overall I'm glad I tried The Creamery to satisfy my curiosity from the reviews, pictures, and website. Do I need to go back again? Nah! I do look forward to going back to that area on another beautiful weather day as it's a cute town to stroll with lots of boutique type shops to visit and outdoor seating restaurants with food and drinks that looked delightful when I walked by. Surprisingly they have another ice cream shop that caught my eye just down the street which I must try. In the meantime when I really need my ice cream craving fix I'll continue to visit Thomas Sweet in Georgetown. Ohhhhhhh my gooooodinesss!!! So GOOD!!!!!!!

The Creamery in Old Town Alexandria is an absolute delight for anyone with a sweet tooth. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the warm aroma of freshly made waffle cones and the smiling faces of the friendly staff. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with rustic decor that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. The seating options are ample, with indoor and outdoor spaces that are perfect for enjoying your treat while taking in the sights and sounds of the historic neighborhood. And let's talk about the ice cream! The Creamery offers an incredible variety of flavors, from classic staples like mint chocolate chip and butter pecan to more unique options like black sesame and green tea. And the quality is outstanding - each scoop is perfectly creamy and rich, with just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, I highly recommend The Creamery in Old Town Alexandria. It's a true gem that's not to be missed!

Only had a chance to take a pic of the outside of the ice cream store. The line moved so fast. Ice cream seems to be very competitive on this street. There's about 3 of them. First time I tried The Creamery, it feels very competitive inside, like they are trying to get as many customers inside so they won't go across the street. Felt as though I didn't get the chance to look at all of the unique flavors they had. I ended up choosing the toasted almond. Very good flavor. It reminded me of the toasted almond good humor ice cream bar. Maybe I'm dating myself ! I loved the flavor but didn't like all of the leftover hull on each almond in the ice cream service. They only offer waffle cones but no waffle bowls. Which would've been better to have as the ice cream melted so fast, my daughter had to throw it away before she enjoyed the cone.

OK ice cream! The staff working here are super friendly and welcoming, so the second you step in the door, you're greeted. They have a variety of flavors, and also allow you to sample the different flavors (which not a lot of places do!). The ice cream flavors aren't out of the ordinary, so pretty typical fare.

If you want the best ice cream in old town, look no further. I walk down by the waterfront so much and have overlooked this place many times. I was jonesing for a late night ice cream so I walked in to get my fix. The line was out the door! But whoever was slinging those scoops was super efficient - I wish I had gotten his name. He was so friendly and wow he could move that line. They have a large variety of flavors but the PB fudge was by far my favorite, love the creaminess. I will be back!

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! The ice cream was undoubtedly homemade and authentic. My friends and I could taste the love and warmth from the perfectly sweetened delicacy. Highly recommend if you are in the area and if you are in the feeling of a freshly churned delight of ice cream heaven. Shout out to out the man who was so homely, and kindly opened his shop for our large group.

The orange chocolate chip ice cream is awesome and is entirely different than other traditional ice cream flavors. My husband had the black raspberry cheesecake and he said it was really good as well.

What a fun place for an ice cream cone. We were walking the old town area and stumbled across this shop. The young clerk was very friendly and offered samples of the variety we were looking at....real samples I mean - not just a dab! the place makes its own ice cream so that made the experience even the more enjoyable. It is small with not a lot of places to sit but it was evening, and no one was there. The cup look small for $5 but they are the perfect size! I had the sea salt caramel which was very good. It could have been just a tad saltier. The orange chocolate chocolate chip was surprisingly good. Tasted like real orange, not a flavor. Make the stop after a meal.

My friends and I were walking around in Old Town for the first time and we're super glad we stumbled across this ice cream shop! It's also super close to the waterfront so you can definitely walk around and enjoy the views while eating some good ice cream. I got the "Black Raspberry Cheesecake" and it was pretty tasty and not too sweet. I love the raspberry swirls and it was a really good choice. It's about $5.50 for a single scoop but you get a lot of ice cream. One of my friends got the "Orange Chocolate Chocolate Chip" and that was definitely super delicious! I wish I got that instead because the flavor of the orange was super zesty, prominent and the star of the show. It looks pretty normal like chocolate ice cream and nothing special but don't let that deceive you! I love the combination of orange and chocolate - very unique and done well here.

I would definitely come back to this place again. I got the black raspberry cheesecake ice cream regular size in a cup. The flavor was amazing in this and when they call it the creamery, it is real because this ice cream was CREAMY! The person working at the time definitely seemed in a rush even though we were the only ones in the store. He kept asking us to make a decision before we were ready and when we ordered he didn't ask for a size and gave us a regular.

Great small ice cream shop. Plenty of restaurants nearby and in the area, so it's the perfect stop after a great dinner. The owner is fun and lively, greeting everyone as they walk in the door. You can sample a few flavors before ordering and I'd recommend doing so because they all taste so good! The ice cream is absolutely delicious! After trying a few flavors, I decided on two scoops of coconut and it was sooo good: perfectly sweet and creamy; with pieces of coconut inside. Definitely wouldn't mind coming back to try some of the other flavors on the menu!

The custard was good. The butter pecan no added sugar was just ok. It did have plenty of nuts though. The smallest portion in a cup was expensive $5 (my opinion). In any case, it was difficult to finish because of slight aftertaste.

Great ice cream. A little pricey, but worth it for the sheer amount of ice cream on that cone.

We have been coming here for years and always had great service. But last Saturday when we asked for a sample of the mango ice-cream we were told "I don't give samples". We told him that we have been coming for years and they always gave samples and he said that they "had decided not to give samples as it was a busy day." (It wasn't that busy). When we asked who had decided this the guy rudely said "we as a team decided that it was too busy"! Obviously I left without buying anything. I wonder my boss's reaction would be if I told him that "we as a group decided not to give the customer the service they have come to expect because we decided we had too many customers"! LOL!!! Certainly if I was the manager these guys would no longer be working for me. We normally want more customers, not fewer.

YUM! Stumbled upon this place while exploring the area and decided to try it as it was part of our supermini ice cream adventure. They actually had quite a bit of flavors, so I was glad they allowed samples. Knowing myself though, I will not ask for more than three flavors to try because I think it will annoy workers, so I was bummed I might not have tried my favorite. We shared a small and got half black raspberry cheesecake and half white chocolate raspberry. We each chose a flavor, so it was a perfect combo as they complimented each other. They both were tasty, but I think both could have toned down the sweetness level and upped the tartness from the raspberry. While eating the ice cream, my cousin noticed that this place was actually popular for their custard, so you know we had to order that too! We got the vanilla custard and I thought it was just okay, but maybe it's because I prefer ice cream over custard in general.

I really enjoyed the ice cream! Fast and reliable service, plenty of options too I ordered one of their best sellers, the Oreo coffee, on a waffle cone. The ice cream did not disappoint and the chunks of Oreo were abundant and creamy. I would love to try their fall flavors next time

Housemade ice cream? Count me in. For post-lunch dessert we came to The Creamery, as it's a popular spot for ice cream in Old Town Alexandria. It hit the sweet spot. The place gets busy, so there was a short line outside the shop until we could wait inside. The Creamery hadseveral different flavors, yet at this time during COVID-19, they are not allowing samples. In addition to ice cream, they had waffle cones, milkshakes, and malt drinks. I wanted to try the butterscotch and a fudge chocolate chunk, but they don't do split scoops. So I HAD to get two scoops on a waffle cone. I mean, it's not like I wanted to get two scoops or whatever. The ice cream was solid. It was thick, as housemade ice cream should be. The flavors were good; I preferred the fudge chocolate chunk one, with its chunky pieces throughout the ice cream. Ice cream was huge with two scoops. There was no way I finished it. For when you need ice cream in Old Town Alexandria, The Creamery is there for you. Lots of flavors to choose from and the place smelled like waffle cones. Just note that there is no seating outside, so prepare to eat your ice cream on the go.

This was a cute little ice cream shop! It gave very homey vibes. The ice cream is home made and you could see it being made in the back. The guy working the counter was super nice and conversational! There were tons of flavors to choose from and the cookie dough ice cream was very good. It was perfect for walking around old town after dinner. I would come back!

Had a vanilla custard soft swerve- needless to say I will be back. The texture was like soft clouds in my mouth-not lying! I really love when I find a really good soft serve. This cute spot offers many treats but I was solely interested in what I was craving. Thank you for not allowing me to leave disappointed. I do not regret passing up on Pops ice cream just across the street to come to The Creamery.

located in historic alexandria...prime tourist area by the waterfront, museum and historic sites..the creamery located on king st...closed off to cars, so perfect for ice cream and for kids to run around...classic ice cream shop, but with inflated tourist prices for $5 small, $6 regular and $7 large...choices ranging from traditional vanilla to unique like lemon custard, irish cream, peanut butter fudge, etc...choice of waffle, sugar or cake cones....soft serve also available...some seating inside and seating outside by the door...kids enjoying the smooth ice cream after playing by the waterfront...

I stopped by The Creamery for ice cream after a friend's birthday dinner. Maybe we came on the wrong day at the wrong time, but the line was getting long to the point people were waiting out the door and the workers were rushing people to order, pay and leave. It was our first time at The Creamery and before we were even in full viewing distance of the menu, we were prompted to order and move along with the line. I understand there's a rush and they are trying to serve as many people in a timely manner, but I literally had to order the first ice cream flavor that caught my eye. I took off another star because half my ice cream was melting down the cone when they handed it to me. I didn't even realize because we were told to move along and I didn't notice that the ice cream flavor I had ordered was less frozen from the start. So I was rushed to order a half melted ice cream cone.. ? I would come back, but not if there's another long line that I'm being rushed through or if I notice that the ice cream being served is half melted.

I dont usually like writing negative reviews but wow i was disappointed. Perhaps i was spoiled by my trip last home to nj where i enjoyed homemade custard made out of the back of refrigeration truck by a wife and husband with amazing texture and flavor or maybe it was the 98 degree day with humidiity and me just craving good ice cream. Long story short: i got cherry vanilla because they ran out of vanilla custard. What ??? this is what I came here for, and the alternative, chocolate custard, is just a no bueno for me : i must taste the vanilla nature of custard) so i opted instead for cherry vanilla ice cream because well I like good cherries i just asssumed they were real cherries. Nope they were marachino, darn, and the whole dare cup , a whopping 7 bucks or so for a small, was incredilbyl too too sweet. If ice cream is too sweet it overpowers the texture, the mouth feel. OK i sound like a wine snob here, but let face it, texture matters, and this stuff was way sticky sweet. Plus literally 2 bites into it,the whole thing was dripping and melting all over. It was about to go south at that moment, so i just abandoned ship. Ahoy I am done, and I let it go into those lovely electronic garbage cans by the waterfront. My friend had cookie dough icevcream, but he is not as judgemental as me, and he is like 6ft 3 so he can down some ice cream but he also said the cookie dough chunks were too big and sweet, too much to digest. anyhow i did kind of waste 7 bucks but its okay i might have gone into sugar shock. I could come back to try vanilla custart but nope i will try another local place, that has more "staying power" Until then my yelp friends, we need some good homemade ice cream shops in the DMV so I will continue to hunt....

Probably the best ice cream in Old Town, Alexandria. The ice cream quality is at the level of a Rome Gelato shop, very creamy and delicious taste. My favorite flavor was raspberry and white chocolate (I feel like craving it while I write the review). Portions are generous, prices are reasonable and in line with portions and quality. Service was good (young students). Nice bench outside to eat your ice cream while seeing people passing by (also preventing COVID-19 ;) ) Absolutely recommended

My favorite ice cream shop in Old Town. True to its name, The Creamery is rich and creamy. The Coffee Oreo is divine with large Oreo morsels in every bite. The fresh waffle cone is tasty and doesn't leak! Perfect way to relax by the waterfront and cool off on a hot summer day with a delicious scoop.

Great ice cream served by an angry and impatient employee during my last visit on Friday night. Walked into the store in the midst of an argument with a customer and left with a separate loud exchange with a customer. I have been frequenting the Creamery for 10 years and have never had a problem. Must have been a bad day.

Decent ice cream but the guy behind the counter is pretty rude. Easier to just go to Kilwins, Pops, or Ben and Jerry's.

It's a shame this place doesn't give samples. Perhaps due to Covid times? There were so many flavors that I wanted to try! I ended up getting the banana pudding. Super creamy with pieces of vanilla wafers. I have to to pay myself on the back for such an excellent choice! I gave my partner a bite and he loved it so much that he went to get his own! So yes, this place is hard to beat! If I come back to this town again, this ice cream parlor will sure be on my hit list!

Brownie fudge was their new flavour . Tried a regular in that . Had a fine flavour . Dint appease my taste buds . So was the salted caramel small scoop. That being my favourite flavour i had to try it but was a disappointment. The texture is cremy and the quantity is good for the price paid but the flavours dint suffice my cravings.

7/20/19 The owner of this place was kind and very informative. I liked her upbeat attitude even with all the slamming from the Yoga classes above us. The creamy icecream hit the spot on cooling us down, but not for too long after we hit the streets again. The Air Conditioning was to the max, and many people were not inclined to want to walk back outside for a while, but they did. I will remember this place for next time.

If ice cream dreams came true this might be the place where they turn into reality!!!! After having dined nearby and in need of something to satisfy my sweet tooth, the walk back to my vehicle bought me right past The Creamery. Do not let the look of the inside fool you! It may not be all fancy and dressed up like some other places but what was not put into the interior is fully invested in the ice cream!!! Three cases of flavors to chose from and listed on the wall behind, they are sure to have something to quench your ice cream thirst. One scoop of Butter Pecan is all I needed! That one scoop was packed to a tee and I was super happy they are not stingy by any means withe their scoop!! You could taste the homemade flavor in every bite!! The best part is the ice cream was velvety smooth and super thick so it did not melt easily and made my spoon work for every bite! My daughter got two scoops of Strawberry and was delighted that it had actual pieces of strawberries mixed in. While the inside is bland in decor, they do have some seating inside. Service was fast and efficient so we were in and out in all of like 8 minutes tops!

ICE CREAM!! I love looking for small ice cream shops with homemade ice cream.... Yes.. they are more pricey but it doesn't hurt too much once in a while. Friends had an ice cream sandwich, the frozen custard swirl and I got the oreo cookie ice cream. I can 100% say no one was disappointed. The frozen custard does just taste like soft serve and the cookie ice cream sandwich was huge! I think they have very unique flavors and they will allow you to sample if you aren't sure what to get. Recommend this place! It's located in a nice part of town. So much to see and so much to do, especially in the summer. I bet this place is very busy when it gets even warmer!

My son had banana and chocolate frozen pudding. I had Irish cream and chocolate ice cream. It was creamy and scrumptious once cream. You really can tell this is better than supermarket ice cream and that it is handcrafted. A real treat!

My fiancé and I go here often and it's always great. The ice cream is spectacular and the owner is very friendly and great to talk to. A must try if you're in the area.

I got the twist soft serve and it was super rich! The size small ($5) came with a lot of ice cream, which was awesome! The line was a little long when I went (Saturday), but it moves fast. The staff is also very friendly! There were two people behind the counter helping customers when I went. Overall, a great find! Would highly recommend!
