Reply to comment by solidrecommendations in At D.C. ice cream shop, a chain of giving so everyone can get a scoop by lint_goblin

And one more thought - I don't know of any place that is making the ice cream in-house these days, not since the guy that used to be just over the border in Takoma Park shut down. Do you know of any place that I'm missing for that?

Ice cream Jubilee for sure … idk whether it’s actually at each location, but they make their own ice cream and are a local brand. Fantastic stuff.

D'oh - how did I forget them?! Used to go to her first shop all the time when she first opened in Navy Yard. Really love some of the less common flavors they've made, especially - cardamom and black pepper, or the cheese crackers one from a "childhood snacks" flight.

They have a production kitchen up near Union Market which distributes to their 3 locations.

Mount Desert Island Ice Cream in Mount Pleasant makes theirs in-house in small batches.

Just across the river in pentagon city, Mimi’s makes their ice cream in house. The flavors are really unique and the owner is so nice! Recommend you give it a try (I live in Maryland and travel for it lol). If you care about reviews it has 4.9 on google and five stars on Yelp… can confirm the hype is legit.

Ooo, don't think I've heard of this one before - might have to take a detour next time I'm in the area!
