Best ice cream?

You can get this at farmers markets. I really like their milk but I think their ice cream is pretty good (not blow me out of the water) but I wasn't impressed by Sarah's homemade either.

+1. But I've never tried Sarah's and after this thread I'm going to have to do a multi-flavor, multi-visit comparison taste test. My work is cut out for me.

Does anyone make a pint-sized cinnamon? It's impossible to find a basic vanilla/cinnamon ice cream.

I love cinnamon ice cream, but I just make my own. I rarely see it in stores.

Sorry but that sounds contrived. You know, I like my ice cream 'merican.

Sorry to hear. Given the nightly line at the door at their Wildwood Center location, lots of people love it!

I LOVE ice cream, and the best I've had this year is at the new place at Pentagon row-- Mimi's.

I’ve long heard that York Castle uses recipes from the Original Silver Spring Giffords. If so, that would be beyond delicious.

The guy who started it worked at Giffords but he is Jamaican so the Caribbean flavors are the best but some people say the swiss chocolate is very Giffords-esque.

It is far and away the best ice cream I’ve found in the area

The various fruit flavors are AMAZING. Lychee is especially incredible.

Sarah's does a tasting "flight"! 12 small scoops.

Wegmans Premium (private brand)

If gelato counts, then we love locally owned Dolcezza!
I haven't had a bad flavor but particularly love

Dark chocolate (used to be called chocolate amargo)
Marscapone and berries
Straciatella
Lemon ricotta cardamom

I like most Dolcezza flavors better than Pitango, but Pitango does have a few winners, especially with in-season fruit (some are sorbets).

Ice Cream Jubilee has some amazing seasonal flavors and their mint chocolate chip is one of my favorite regular flavors.

Is that a fact or just marketing b.s.? There is a wildly popular place near my hometown who claims the same but it is a 100% lie. And also, do they use a handful of simply all natural ingredients or actually cheap high-margin crap including corn syrup?

I would shocked if they weren’t using their own milk but I would not be shocked if their other ingredients weren’t as high quality as the milk.
