Saw this places listed online and had to give it a try. Very interesting they use real cream and add fresh ingredients and liquid nitrogen. I had the candy cane crunch to celebrate the holiday season and it was creamy, smooth and so good. My friend had the sweet corn and it was interesting and delicious. It was a lot of fun and you should give it a try!

A short walk f I’m where we had dinner, Nicecream was definitely worth it.
Checking out the menu, I’m a sucker for anything Pumpkin Spice, so that was my choice, our niece opted for the Caramel Apple, and my other half decided on an ice cream cookie sandwich. We also picked up a pint of Cold Brew Coffee ice cream.
For a Wednesday night they were busy. So we opted to sit outside. And it hasn’t gotten too cold to still do that. The Pumpkin Spice was really really good. Nice flavor, not overpowering. The Caramel Apple had fresh Apple pieces in it with that sticky caramel that you would find coating an apple too. The cookie sandwich fell short for my partner. He liked the ice cream but the cookie was missing something for it to really come together.
All in all the ice cream is what ice cream should be. Worth scraping the bottom of the cup for.

Visited the Clarendon festival this weekend and as it was a hot day we visited NiceCream in Clarendon boulevard. We enjoyed the vanilla bean and dark chocolate. Nice and creamy . No cash accepted so bring your card.

This ice cream is over-rated. The front door was boarded up with wood and the ice cream melted quicker than any I have had before. Flavors are limited. If you want the best, go to Jubilee in Georgetown.

My daughters and their cousins are trying ice cream all over the DMV and this is by far our favorite. Super creamy and good. Loved the honey lavender.

There is not much to add besides what is on the title. That's it, it's perfect! Definitely the best ice cream I've had in my life.

You can’t go wrong here ordering their made to order ice cream. It is simply delicious. At times they get a bit overwhelmed with customer demand, but then, if their ice cream wasn’t outstanding, there would never be a wait. Go and enjoy. They are friendly and always have a smile.

Great special ice cream! They freeze the fresh good stuff with nitrogen. It's all made to order. Not a ton of flavor choices but it is all good. Tried the sampler and it was great.
If you don't have time to wait for them to make the great fresh choices, they have some ready made containers in the freezer. Though it only takes a few minutes. They hustle to make it for you.
It is popular and the line may get a little long but it is worth the few minutes to get the yummy stuff. I will be back the next time I'm in DC.

On our annual cross country motorcycle trip for Rolling Thunder we happened to read about this spot while surfing the web. Parking was a bit tricky for several of us on motorcycles but it was worth it. Never had I ordered ice cream and then had it made for me like a coffee shop makes a latte. I had vanilla with chocolate chunks. It was very tasty! The staff were all friendly. We recommend this spot and will be back. Travel safe.

Both the nicecream and service was good. It had a nice atmosphere and would love to go there again to try a different flavour next time.

Sandra, the owner, was working at the new location in Shaw. She was so friendly and helpful. Just based on her attitude I knew she wasn't just an employee. The Shaw location is decorated adorably- faux mini succulents, light colored woods, white subway tiles, a palm tree print wall, and the cutest neon sign that reads "Icecream solves everything."
The place was spotlessly clean. The lemon flavor was really made with fresh lemon juice- we watched her pour it into the stand mixer. And a unique coconut flavor with activated charcoal was on the menu. This is served w toasted coconut flakes on top.

We walked into this small little ice cream shop one evening after dinner, and wow! This place rocks!! We had a brownie sundae, and it was wonderful!! They made our ice cream right there while we waited. We were thankful the line wasn't so long, as it had been prior to our visit. We LOVE it!!

The ice cream is great, and I love that you can see them making the ice cream. I like the clouds of smoke that they make, when pouring in the nitrogen.

Walked to Nicecream from our hotel on a hot summer evening and what a treat this was! Thankfully the line was minimal so we ordered and it didn't take long at all for them to brew up my flavors! I tried the dark chocolate and blackberry - it was so fun to watch them create the ice creams and the taste was amazing! So creamy, fresh and delicious - this ice cream lover is hooked. There were 3 of us so we opted to sit at one of the tables outside - they do have around 4(?) little tables inside but those were occupied.
We returned several nights later but the line was out the door and it started to rain so I never got back for more. :( They also have small containers of various flavors in a freezer but they didn't have the flavors I wanted and though the nutella flavor sounded tempting, I didn't feel like waiting in line to buy. I will definitely return as now I'm a fan of Nicecream!

Nice cream 😍 definitely nice icecream!
Made using nitrogen right in front of you 👍🏼
Amazing creamy smooth texture of the icecream pulls flicks of people into this store which is always crowded 😛
They have 6-8 flavours on offer everyday which keep changing every week..
Sometimes some flavours may get over for the day 😋
The USP is Limited but delicious flavours available- when I visited on a Sunday evening they had 6 flavours out of which we tried 3
Hand made icecream 🍦 using liquid nitrogen created as soon as you place the order...
Texture of the icecream is really creamy and smooth 😍
Price wise ok
$ 6.99 plus tax for 2 scoops - you can select any 2 flavours which are served in a paper cup.. extra charges for waffle cones
We tried the following flavours-
Nutella - this was my favourite 😍
Dark chocolate Sea salt - though I’m a huge fan of dark chocolate I found this just too salty 😢
I had both above flavours and availed the offer above.
Nutella flavour if available is an absolute must have for all chocolate lovers 😍
Vanilla bean - a safe bet!
Other than these the 3 flavours that were available- wild blueberry, key lime pie which were also really popular 🤩
Don’t recall the 6th flavour 😋
They also offer coffees, hot chocolate and other drinks!
Everything is natural and gluten free 😊
Not too big a place, 3-4 small tables inside the ice cream parlour and 2-3 outside
Service was not too fast or slow. They have a separate machine for churning out the icecream for each flavour 👍🏼
P.S.
They were so crowded - at 8pm on Sunday that the line outside the store went upto the store door 2 stores next to Nice cream
