Thomas Sweet

Took the kiddos into the city, and decided to stop for a nice cool treat. Saw the sign for ice cream and headed inside. The space inside is rather small/tight which is common for most establishments in the district. There were several items to consider and a vast menu. The service was rather “meh” and that was the overall experience. The ice cream portions are big, and the prices aren’t cheap. If you’re looking for a sweet treat, please bypass due to the poop service experience. I don’t spend my money where my patronage is not appreciated.

Yuck. Ick. Gross. This was my Mecca of ice cream and hot fudge for over 35 years. I have made pilgrimages to this place ever since moving away from DC in 1994. Last night was disgusting. The hot fudge no longer tastes or looks like hot fudge. It’s a weird lumpy consistency that looks more like a dog‘s diarrhea. And for some reason it tasted like coffee. The Oreo ice cream is no longer Oreo. I can’t believe I ate that. It was terrible. I can’t believe I paid so much for the privilege.

This is a staple in Georgetown. It’s definitely still tasty ice cream (just like I remember it 32 yrs ago!) and sorts but def more expensive. We come here once a month during summer months and I remember paying $38 for 4 orders with extra toppings and waffle cones. It’s a small place but the line is fast. Theres always 4 to 5 staff behind the counter taking care of the orders. There are inside and outside seating. They also serve hot chocolate and coffee. They also sell fudge. I haven’t tried it but it looks delicious. They also have pints and quarts of ice cream to go and they are pricey. The bathroom is small and it’s not for customers.

Homemade ice cream with plenty of option to choose from. They give like two samples each and are pretty patient with indecisiveness. I recommend to try it. The cones aren’t that good so you can just get it in the cups if you don’t want to be charged extra.

They listed many ice cream flavors on the board, but not all of them were actually available. On the bright side it‘s just interesting to see that so many famous people have visited this place before!! Maybe the staff were friendlier than now?! They are not convinced to help you at all!! We tried Cinammon and Pistachio ice cream. I would definitely not recommend the Pistachio- It was salty, bitter, and had a strange aftertaste. Cinammon falvor was‘nt bad, but it also was’nt anything special. Overall, the experience felt pretty average and not particularly unique.
