The Story

The checkerboard floor and bright red stools at Larry's welcomed you like an old friend, a sweet escape from the bustling city outside. Inside, the air hummed with happy chatter and the delicious promise of gourmet scoops, from adventurous lychee to classic vanilla bean, all made right there. Each lick of handcrafted ice cream or bite of a perfectly frosted cupcake felt like a little taste of yesteryear, a simple joy shared among new and old faces alike.

    Every time I visit my daughter in Dupont Circle, I first check into my hotel, and then I head right over to Larry's! The ice cream is delicious, and the servings are generous! We were there a couple of weeks ago, and our server, Sara, was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookie Dough, the Peanut Butter Mocha Chip, and the Cappuccino. Yum! Larry's is convenient to the Metro and my go-to hotel, The Dupont Circle Hotel. I highly recommend Larry's Homemade Ice Cream and can't wait to go back!

    Very nice lil ice cream parlor. Glad I googled it. Was welcomed by an amazing young gentleman. He was super sweet to my kid. A crowd came in after us like 845pm and like a boss handled it so well. Everyone saw he was solo. Very welcoming. Great customer service skills!

    so good that we went for 2 rounds. first one was the "decadence" flavor in a waffle cone -- disappeared in minutes. second was a double scoop in a bowl of lavender and "ecstasy" (sweet cream and chocolate swirls). pro tip: get lavender and ecstasy together. the lavender tasted very natural and the tinest bit citrusy with creamy undertones. will return when in dupont again!!

    Great ice cream and quick service! There were plenty of flavors to choose from, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. Prices seem a little high, but the quality and generous portions helped make it worth the visit.
