Crema's Take

This DC ice cream parlor puts a boozy twist on frozen treats with creative alcohol-infused flavors like Whisky Dreams and Strawberry White Sangria that feel like an indulgent adventure rather than a standard dessert run. The welcoming vibe makes it an ideal spot to linger with friends over something truly distinctive, though it's worth noting that not everyone in your group may be thrilled about the alcohol component—the name is a fair warning, even if it catches some visitors off guard. Pair your ice cream with their specialty drinks and pastries for a genuinely memorable experience that's become a must-revisit for DC regulars.

This was a delicious end to a fun night. However, we did not realize that it was alcohol infused ice cream until we got there. (I know... The name should have been a hint) Not all of our group drinks, so we were glad to see there were a few non-alcoholic options. The mint chocolate chip was absolutely to die for. 🥰

My best friend and I really enjoyed our ice cream yesterday. I had the “Whisky Dreams” and my friend had “It’s My Party”. Whenever we’re back in DC, Tipsy Scoop will definitely be back on the list to go again! Oh and once you finish your ice cream, you can turn in your dirty glass, and get a clean free one to take home 🫶🏾

**Refreshing Delights at Tipsy Scoop 🍦🍹** During my first visit to Tipsy Scoop in D.C., I indulged in a delightful, boozy ice cream adventure. The experience was a flavorful journey with bourbon vanilla, virgin chocolate, sangria, and colada. Each scoop was a perfect blend of taste and texture, showcasing their unique infusion of alcohol. The alcohol flavor was subtle, enhancing rather than overpowering each creamy delight. The bourbon vanilla was rich and smooth, while the virgin chocolate offered a luscious, decadent taste. Sangria and colada provided refreshing, fruity notes, capturing the essence of summer. A must-visit for a unique twist on classic treats! 🌟🍨

✨ I’ve been wanting to check out Tipsy Scoop DC Ice Cream Barlour ever since it opened, and I finally made it! I first discovered Tipsy Scoop over 10 years ago at EmporiYUM, the beloved DC food festival at Union Market, so I was excited to revisit this boozy ice cream brand in their own space. Located within walking distance of Chinatown and the Convention Center, this petite parlor has a few outdoor seats and a big personality. The concept? Ice cream infused with popular cocktails like margaritas, sangrias, and mimosas—yes, please! 🍦 If you’re indecisive like me, I recommend ordering the ice cream flight, which is a fun way to try four mini flavors. The presentation is adorable: a custom wooden tray with branded mini glasses, a tiny flag, and a Tipsy Scoop spoon. My flight included: - Mango Margarita Sorbet - Mom-Mosa (a Mother’s Day special: raspberries & cream ice cream with Lunetta Prosecco Rosé) - Strawberry White Sangria Sorbet - Cherry Blossom Martini Ice Cream Each scoop came topped with sweet little treats or sprinkles. Boozy, fun, and delicious! 🍸 Tipsy Scoop also serves ice cream cocktails that I can’t wait to try next time, like the Party Like It’s Your Birthday, DC Royale, Palm Reader (which looks like it comes with smoke!), and Inside the Toybox. I do wish they included brief descriptions for these cocktails like they do with the signature sundaes, it would make choosing a lot easier. 🍨 Not into cocktails? They have decadent signature sundaes like: - Tequila Sunrise - Old Fashioned - Mojito Creamsicle - Whiskey Dreams (dark chocolate whiskey & salted caramel ice cream, brownie bites, fudge!) - Boozy Breakfast (hazelnut coffee + tequila hot chocolate ice cream, topped with a Froot Loops donut and cookie crisps, plus you keep the souvenir glass!) ✔️ IDs are checked for all cocktail-infused options, but they also offer mocktail flavors, like a Salty Margarita Mocktail, for those who prefer to skip the booze. 💫 The vibe is vibrant, colorful, and fun with lots of eye candy (that won’t impact your waistline 😄). The staff was friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions. If you’re in the area and craving something sweet with a twist, I definitely recommend stopping by Tipsy Scoop DC. It’s a unique and memorable ice cream experience!

I always wanted to try alcohol infused ice cream and now that I have, I should have done it before because it is fenomenal! Its hard to describe the strawberry white sangria but it was so good and the creaminess of the other which I don’t even remember what flavor was it but it was 10/10. Service was also great, thanks to the guy at the counter for being so patient with me. The best part was that I could eat it outdoors and didn’t have to worry about getting arrested 😂
