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 complet

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!

We love Sarah’s! Friendly staff, great ice cream, and lots of parking. Flavors change often with interesting seasonal options (but they usually still have our favorites). Definitely recommend.

My buddy brought over two tubs of ice creams. One was flavored bourbon brow sugar walnut and the other was cocoa and marshmallows. Both blew my mind. I would highly recommend except trying any of these flavors will ruin all other ice cream going forward.

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.
