  Happy Ice Cream is a small street-side cart serving a limited but fantastic selection of ice creams. I tried the NOLA Coffee, which is a coffee-flavored ice cream with caramel and chocolate cookie. I absolutely loved it. The coffee flavor was rich and balanced, the caramel added just the right amount of sweetness, and the chocolate cookie rounded up the ice cream really well. The waffle cone was fresh and delicious and brought everything together perfectly. It was the ideal treat for a hot summer afternoon in DC. I had heard amazing things about this place beforehand, and it definitely did not disappoint. An absolute must-try if you are in the area.

  Ice & Rice

  Very good texture, with a spin on classic flavors. Strawberry with polenta tasted a lot like the strawberry shortcake popsicle, except with a much more natural and intense strawberry flavor. I was a big fan. Chocolate sorbet could have used more chocolate intensity. Texture on both was very good.

  Fellow travelers, when in Washington D.C. near the Dupont Circle area, please visit Happy Ice Cream. During our time there, we grabbed two double scoops of: - Dark Chocolate, which had salty caramel and chococookie (x2) - Strawberry, which had polenta and buttermilk - Vanilla & Oats, with a chassis swirl We also had a taste of the Olive Oil flavor which had cocoa crumble and what was very tasty. Unfortunately, they ran out of the homemade cones during our visit. That's how popular the place is in the neighborhood. Service was fantastic and helpful. Happy Ice Cream is certainly the place for a scoop (or two!) of happiness!

  Happy Ice Cream is life-changing. You think you know what good ice cream is until you try theirs, and then they blow your mind with crazy different flavor combos. We’ve been enjoying their ice cream for a long time so we actually hired them to come and serve ice cream at our wedding! From the get-go Anne was super excited about the event. She sent us a link of flavors one month out from the event and we picked a list of flavors we thought sounded good. Then we got to go and try all the flavors out and narrow it down to four flavors. We even got to customize the A-frame signage! They were communicative throughout the process and were the easiest part of our wedding to plan. The day of the event, none of our guests knew that an ice cream cart was coming but everyone was truly delighted when Happy Ice Cream showed up. The ice cream was, needless to say, an absolute hit and our friends and family are still talking about how delicious the ice cream was. Thank you Anne, Ben and the Happy Ice Cream team for bringing so much joy and flavor to our special day. It was a pleasure working with you all. We 1000% recommend hiring Happy Ice Cream for your event!
