Pop's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Company

Pop’s has a charming retro vibe on the inside. They don’t make their own waffle cones, so you miss out on that fresh cone aroma. However, they offer a wide variety of ice cream flavors along with a selection of Italian ice! Though there was a line to order, it was definitely worth the wait! The ice cream was delightful and tasty! The pistachio flavor was particularly rich, and the rocky road was enjoyable too, though it had a few icy bits. The prices are quite reasonable considering the generous portions of ice cream you get! Overall, it’s a solid ice cream shop to visit when you’re in Alexandria!

The ice cream here is incredible—thick and bursting with flavor. It's classic, old-fashioned ice cream that doesn’t melt into a syrupy mess. The prices are reasonable, and the service is excellent, with generous portions! This is the best ice cream we've had inside the beltway!

Overall, it’s a great ice cream shop. They offer a wide variety of flavors and toppings at reasonable prices. The staff was friendly and attentive. I especially enjoyed the praline cream flavor, while I had mixed feelings about the cheesecake flavor.
