Downtown Washington Has a New Ice Cream Shop

Who wants ice cream in the middle of winter? Me! And, lots of other people, too. On Friday, January 17, 2025, Silver Spoon Ice Cream & Sweets opened its fourth shop in Washington and the grand opening festivities continued throughout the weekend.

The scoop shop features 24 delicious flavors available just about any way you want: in a cone, cup, shake, sundae, flight, or atop crumbled waffle cone chips served as ice cream nachos.

During our visit, myself and my husband each had two scoops of the oh-so-yummy and creamy ice cream in waffle cones. Like the ice cream, the cones were also amazing. They’re freshly made and just right: not too sweet, not overly crispy, not too soft.

The Socialite recommends Silver Spoon Ice Cream & Sweets!

*There are two types of dining articles on this website, the Socialite recommends and the Socialite suggests. I recommend/review places I’ve visited and liked. I’ll share about places I suggest, meaning they’re on my radar, but haven’t tried yet. If I haven’t tried the establishment, I won’t review the food/drink.
