      Good ice cream, places get extra points when they have peppermint on the menu. It was soft because I dont think the owner was expecting anyone to order that day, so he offered me a cup. Still yummy!

      Delicious ice cream and baklava! They were very friendly and the shop is cute and easily accessible. But seriously, the ice cream is perfect. Not too sweet and so creamy. We got 3 different kinds and no complaints! And the pistachio baklava was to die for.

      I really wanted to like this place because I love homemade ice cream and the fact that they are free of preservatives and emulsifiers. However I don't think I'll be back. It was super crowded, yet you just couldn't tell how the line was moving toward the register. There also wasn't too many places to sit (if any? couldn't tell) and the art work on the wall was super creepy. I would've taken a photo of it but I didn't want it sitting on my camera roll.

      Ice cream itself was spectacular, you can tell it was homemade as it melted pretty fast. Highly recommend the matcha, lavender, and the peanut butter if those are up to your taste buds. However be WARY of the price. ONE KIDDIE SCOOP at $6.50 is honestly the most expensive scoop of ice cream in all of DC. I would've been okay with $5.00 tops but $6.50 is already a high end pint of ice cream at the local grocery store.... I got two kiddie scoops which totaled to be $13.00. That's pretty wild if you ask me. If I were a mom, I'd be using that money to buy ice cream from the grocery store.

      The ice cream tasted great, but there are definitely other ice cream places that are equally as good that are less expensive.

      Absolutely worth a visit for their homemade ice cream. While the portion size might be modest, the exceptional quality of the ice cream more than compensates. It's a creamy delight that simply melts in your mouth. Our choice was a 2-scoop serving, featuring Oreo and mud pie flavor.

      TLDY: The staff was very rude.

      Customer service does not exist in this store. We requested to taste a few flavors and were told each person can only have one taste sample. We asked what if we wanted a cup of three scoops (which we sincerely did!), he grabbed the ingredient and showed it to us...I guess he could taste by looking at something but as an ordinary person, I can't. Then when we ordered, we clearly told him we'd like "scoop adult" with three scoops. He finished two scoops and we were like where the last one was. The staff got impatient, showed us the difference sizes of cup again, which we clearly knew, and shook his head. Oh well, we decided to left because we didn't want to give money to a business lack of respect and covered its own mistake by blaming things on its customers.

      I had the chocolate. It was ok. I also sampled the ginger which was really bad. The place is really small and service rather surly. Parking is on it street. This is a one and done for me

      I am the type of person to eat ice cream every day... I stumbled into Larry's and tried the cinnamon oatmeal cookie dough and it surpassed my expectations! I am definitely coming back next time I'm in town!

      Extremely disappointing ice cream and place. This place is below street level with poor signage. When I placed my order, I had to repeat my order several times after having made myself clear. I ordered one scoop of ice cream in a waffle cone which was extremely expensive ($7.5 with tax), even for DC. I ordered the chocolate ganache ice cream, which was not good. I could barely taste the chocolate, the ice cream tasted like a cheap grocery store brand, and left me unhappy with the whole experience.
