Presidential Scoops

I love the whimsical flavors and nod to the presidents - Marilyn Monroe's singing happy birthday to JFK and Moose Tracks to Teddy Roosevelt's passion for hunting. With over 20 flavors, it's quite a feat to choose! Although it's a bummer that the ice cream isn't locally sourced, it's from the national chain Bassetts. I'm glad I landed on the decadent Guatemalan Ripple based on Jefferson's love for coffee. Every lick was divine with a swirl of mocha fudge and a sea of chocolate truffles in a deep coffee base. The sweetness of the chocolate cut the bitterness of the rich coffee. True to its motto - Making American Sweet Again with every delicious lick! This hidden gem is tucked away from the bustling touristy crowds. Perfect way to cool off in the sweltering summer heat!

Fun concept, solid ice cream, DC-high prices. The waffle cone was average but the ice cream was good and they give generous servings. There were plenty of chunks in the ice cream too (I got cookie dough and moose tracks). It's a tiny storefront with no seating, but they do have standing counter space if you want to eat in the AC. I'd stop by again if I was in the area.
