5 Best Places To Get Ice Cream This Week In DC

WASHINGTON, DC -- It's going to get downright toasty in the D.C. area this week, with temperatures warming close to 90 degrees. So why not treat yourself to some ice cream? It doesn't matter if you're indulging on your lunch break or taking the family out for the evening, it's always a good time for ice cream when it's warm out.

Here are the five best places in D.C. to get yourself some ice cream.

1. Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams (U Street Corridor - 1925 14th St NW)

"Our ice creams have a uniquely smooth texture and buttercream body, with bright flavor and clean finish (we don’t use synthetic flavorings, dyes, or off-the-shelf mixes). You may notice the absence of a long list of stabilizers and emulsifiers on our label; we prefer the more complex process of building texture and flavor without them. Our flavors stand alone straight from the pint or melt perfectly into a fruit pie, birthday cake, crumble, crisp, or cookie—the perfect accessory for your dessert." (Source)

2. Ice Cream Jubilee (Navy Yard - 301 Water St SE)

"The best flavors come from the best ingredients. We use only all-natural cream and milk from a local creamery, just 50 miles from our scoop shop in Washington, DC. We are proud that our small-batch technique – just a few gallons at a time – allows us to create the highest-quality product and the freshest flavors." (Source)

3. Bon Matcha (Downtown - 1928 I St NW)

"We love our neighbors. That's why we're committed to using high quality, authentic, and real ingredients. Serving handcrafted drinks, house made soft serve, and truly organic matcha from Kyoto, Japan, come and enjoy one of our many delicious offerings." (Source)

4. Thomas Sweet (Georgetown - 3214 P St NW)

"Whether you’re enjoying our house made ice creams and blend-ins, our baked-from-scratch pastries or our hand made panini, you can always count on our attention to ingredients and craftsmanship." (Source)
