Dickey’s Frozen Custard -
DC, 202-293-7100.
Bethesda, 301-652-1100,
Arlington, 703-418-0700.
Crystal City, 703-416-2700, and two locations in
Bethany Beach. Fans of Dickey’s
velvety smooth frozen custard insist it’s creamier than Kohr
Brothers’. Choices are simple: vanilla, chocolate, a swirl of the
two, and at some stands fruit flavors like strawberry, raspberry,
and peach. |

|
Ice Cream Station -
3528 12th St., NE, 202-526-7419. Students flock to this Catholic University hangout for
coffee, smoothies, and old-fashioned Hershey’s ice cream in flavors
like butter brickle and Dutch-chocolate almond. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Isee Icy - 1560 Wisconsin Ave., NW,
202-333-4646. This brand new stop, scheduled to open this summer,
plans to dish up ultra-smooth Argentine ice cream, which is similar
to gelato. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Max’s Best - 2416 Wisconsin Ave., NW,
202-333-3111. A longtime Glover Park favorite with some 250
house-made flavors, 35 of them available at any given time. Think
outside the cone with the likes of chocolate pecan ( great in the
shop’s signature brownie sundae ), fresh ginger, coffee oreo, and OC3
( orange chocolate chocolate chip ). Max’s also makes frozen yogurt. |

Thomas Sweet -
3214 P St., NW, 202-337-0616.
Bittersweet, a dark chocolate with chocolate shavings, |
|
|
gets raves from chocolate lovers. But flavors
like banana, caramel, and peppermint stick have fans, too. Gooey hot
fudge and great chocolate malteds ( made with vanilla ice cream and
chocolate syrup ) are other claims to fame at this Georgetown
favorite. Eat at one of the wrought iron cafe tables on the patio or
inside, which is low on charm, but who needs charm when you’ve got
ice cream this good? |

Anne’s Dari Creme -

410-761-1231. This small, ’50's style diner has sassy
waitresses, foot long hot dogs, and retro soft serve ice cream,

Arctic Circle - 3046 Churchville Rd.,
Churchville, 410-734-7692. If you’re after nostalgia, Arctic Circle
dishes up lots of it. Besides soft serve vanilla and chocolate ice
cream to eat at picnic tables outside, the stand, acquired in 1966
by the same family that runs it today, is within a stone’s throw of
a drive in theater and a mini-golf course. And it’s in
Churchville. |

|
|
|
|
Bob’s Famous Ice Cream and Gourmet Express -
4706 Bethesda Ave., Bethesda,
301-657-2963. A funky Bethesda cafe
that serves deli sandwiches and coffee drinks. But the big draw is
the fine house-made ice cream in flavors like gingersnap vanilla
studded with gingerbread. |

Hill Farm and Orchards, 12300 Gallahan

Scottish Highland
Creamery - 314 Tilghman St,
Oxford, MD 21654.
410-924-6298. This ice cream is
FABULOUS. First-class home-made stuff. Well worth the trip to Oxford
and hunting down the obscure window on the side of the building from
which its sold. Be prepared to wait for a seat on the single picnic
table outside, however. |

Durding’s Store -
5742 Main St., Rock Hall, 410-778-7957. Dating from the 1920s, Durding’s has all the makings
of a movie set: vintage soda fountain, tin ceiling, and red stools.
Ice creams are from Edy’s, Jack and Jill, Kemps, and others. Flavors
range from the zany, like cotton candy confetti, to the classics. A
rotating lineup of exotic shakes is the big thing here: coconut,
chocolate macadamia, hazelnut, and the new Baby Ruth sundae. |

|
Gifford’s Ice Cream & Candy Company -
7237 Woodmont Ave., Bethesda,

Landmark movie theater and across the street from a Barnes &
Noble, keeps Gifford’s crowded. All the ice cream and chocolate sauce
is made in Rockville, then transferred here. Flavors tend toward the
traditional, like Swiss chocolate. |

|
Ice Cream Factory & Cafe -
13700 Old Brandywine
Rd., Brandywine,
301-782-3444. Formerly a |
|
|
general store and post office dating to circa
1867, this lovingly renovated ice cream parlor dishes up fabulous
old fashioned frozen custard made on the premises in the usual
vanilla, chocolate, and swirl, plus custom flavors like lemon,
banana, and peanut butter. These flavorings are added while you
watch and creativity is encouraged, so you could end up with
something like coffee-maple nut. Shakes and sundaes are also made
with the custard. There’s a roomy porch and umbrella tables for
lingering. |

Justine’s Ice Cream -
106 N. Talbot St.,
St. Michaels, 410-745-0024. This longtime favorite has moved across
the street from the old shop. The ice cream, Jack and Jill, is as
good as ever. So are innovative shakes like the Creamsicle and
sundaes like the Dusty Road with marshmallow cream, hot fudge, a
shake of malt powder, and whipped cream. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shoppe -
9150-17
Baltimore National Pike, Ellicott City,
410-480-2856. Offbeat
flavors and sundae combos provide a change from the ordinary at this
lively shop with seating inside and a bench outside. Ice cream comes
from Lee’s and Edy’s. Death by Chocolate and Arbuckle’s Delight
( vanilla with chocolate melted into it ) are the big hits, though
oddities like coconut pineapple, Peanut Butter Blitz, and Malt Ball
’n’ Fudge With Whoppers have followings. The mint sundae - with mint
ice cream, hot fudge and Andes mint candies, is like a cool summer
breeze. |

papaya are among the gems at this friendly shop run by a Jamaican
family. There are a couple of tables, but most people get their
cones, dishes, or hand-packed pints and quarts to go. |

Carl’s Frozen Custard - 2200
Princess Anne St.,
Fredericksburg, VA On the Virginia Register of |
|
|
Historic Places, Carl’s is a throwback to the
1940s. Owned by the descendants of Carl Sponseller, who opened the
place, Carl’s still makes its custard with 1940s Electro Freeze
machines, which, aficionados insist, turn out a richer custard.
Unlike other softserves, the vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry
flavors are scooped, not swirled. |
