  This should have been a GREAT experience. Ice cream after a great seafood meal. A walk along the Potomac. Ice cream with an old soda fountain vibe and feel. Instead, the guy working behind the counter looked like he would rather be chewing oyster shells than scooping ice cream. I usually let things roll off my back, but this kid hated his job and his life. Never greeted us, never spoke to us, unless it was a clarifying question. Seemed genuinely annoyed and put out when we asked about trying a flavor, to which I almost called him out when she was being nice and patient and placed the scoop on

  Pops ice cream, has ice cream and they also have ice cream! I like the ice cream, it was cold which is good because if it was hot it wouldn’t be ice cream anymore and then it wouldn’t be pops ice cream which would be bad. I really liked the flavors and that the ice cream was able to be eaten which was really good. I ate it up and got it all into my belly, magical experience thank you pops your the best in the whole world

  Pops Ice Cream in Alexandria is a charming, old-fashioned ice cream shop right down by the waterfront. The street is often closed off to traffic, making it super easy and pleasant for pedestrians to stroll by. When I visited, there wasn’t a line, so I was able to walk right in—though I’ve heard it can get busy at peak times. I went with my favorite, Butter Pecan (I’ve tried their Pistachio and a few other flavors before), and it did not disappoint. The portion size is just right, and you can choose between a cup or a cone. The location is fantastic, and the vibe is classic and welcoming. Pri

  Their ice creams were creamy, but the flavors didn’t come through as strongly as expected and the serving amount differs from each cups.
