Larry's Homemade Ice Cream: Reviews & Ratings
Im not a big ice cream person went in with a friend on a whim. But geez it was delicious and the people working there were just so genuine and friendly. Ill make a point to go back now and try more flavors!
Great ice cream, and Great service. The two workers behind the counter were friendly and generous with samples.
My son has an egg allergy so to find an ice cream with no eggs is a dream come true. All the ice creams we tasted were amazing, especially the mango sorbet so fresh, not overly sweet, top notch. Highly recommend, mom pop have been making ...
A cool little ice cream shop that you have to look for or you might pass it. Clean and hip as you enter with several flavors to choose from. Service was friendly and fast. Several options for cones. The ice cream was great. Prices were ok. Very little parking available. Stop by for a scoop and you wont be disappointed.
This place was great. The ice cream was really good. Service was fantastic. It is a little hidden gem that has been there over 30 years. I would definitely recommend this place. UPDATE We went back and the I ce cream was really good.
Nice basement spot near Dupont Circle for an ice cream. Service was excellentI only exchanged a few words with the staff member but it was clear they were happy to help and loved their job. While prices are high 7.78 with tax for a small cone in April 2025 they seem unfortunately on par with other DC ice cream spots.
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. Its a creamy delight that simply melts in your mouth. Our choice was a 2scoop serving, featuring Oreo and mud pie flavors.
