Hershey’s Ice Cream

This may be one of the worst ice cream places I’ve ever been to. Although, the staff member I encountered was very friendly and asked if I wanted to try any different flavors.
The shop itself looks terrible. There is paint peeling off the walls and looks like it could use a facelift. There were some of the ice cream flavors that had a ridiculous amount of frost on them which was not an incentive to eat there.
Additionally, there is no place to sit down and eat your ice cream! No bench outside to eat your ice cream! I think it’s a bit absurd to have «carry out ice cream» — but maybe that’s just me!

The ice cream was okay, nothing great. I tried to use my 10% off Unilocal thing at checkout and the woman at the register was… less than kind about it. Didn’t actually get to use it.
Meh.

One of my favorite places to get ice cream in the area. All the flavors taste fresh and super creamy and rich. My favorites are the pecan praline and coconut almond with chocolate chips. They always have a great variety of options to choose from and their prices are pretty good too. Definitely one of my go to spots.

Best ice cream in the area, by far! Great customer service and as many favors as you can count on 10 fingers and toes… ok, more than that! My favorites are: chocolate chaos, chocolate cookie dough, and cappuccino crunch! it’s cold outside, but never too cold for ice cream!

I love this place! The east coast doesn’t seem to have Braum’s but this place does just fine. They have a great variety of flavors and offer samples of each if you ask. The quality of ice cream is pretty good. They also sell shakes, cakes and sundaes but I am yet to try those. I usually just get the 2 scoop waffle cone which is around $ 5. Sheesh, pretty expensive. But I still come here and enjoy it!
Glad I just found the 10% Unilocal coupon!

I use to frequent this place when it was still Baskin Robbins. The ice cream selections are great but for someone who is a bit lactose intolerant, it would be nice to have more milk selections such as soy, almond, or lactaid when it comes to making a smoothie/​shake with the non-​dairy frozen selections (sorbets). When I inquired what kind of milk was used for the shakes/​smoothies the young man behind the counter felt the need to answer in a smart tone. I didn’t find that necessary, therefore I won’t be frequenting very often. Better customer service training is needed for a few of the employees there.

I’ve been here once and I’ll most definitely go back. There were plenty of flavors to choose from. They weren’t busy when we went (around 8pm on a Sunday evening), so we were in and out within 10 minutes. I had the cookie vs. peanut butter (essentially cookies and cream with peanut butter swirls), and tried a bite of the caramel caribou (toffee ice cream with caramel and caramel cups). Both are from the premium gold line, which has a higher butterfat content than regular ice cream.
Note: there’s no seating in the restaurant, but they do have a couple of benches outside.

This ice cream shop is located on greenbelt road opposite to NASA. It’s worth a trip if you live around the Lanham area. They have a variety of flavored ice cream to choose from. The ice cream was amazing, but what made this place great was the help was very sweet and nice. Great atmosphere with Great Ice Cream! I will definitely come back for some more.

Stop judging me. Yes, I used my Unilocal app in a frenzy trying to find the nearest place to get a milkshake after my hair appointment. I couldn’t help it. I am preggers and have heartburn (and random cravings), so this was a medical and emotional emergency! lol!
I got both a vanilla milkshake and a small, kiddie-​sized scoop of some other ice cream I can’t remember (it had chocolate chips and caramel in there though. I do remember that). The milkshake was better than the ice cream since the ice cream really was just sort of plan and not worth the calories. Something about adding the milk and blending it though, hit the spot with the milkshake, so I left satisfied.
The shop is small (no place to sit), but there is a bench in front of the shop if the weather is nice. Also, you can save 10% if you check in with your Unilocal app which is always a nice surprise. If you are using your GPS like I was, know that the directions are off and they will have you going up and down Greenbelt Road like an idiot. Instead, when it instructs you to make a U turn, just turn in the plaza instead and you will see Hershey’s right there.
It ain’t fancy, but it will do the trick in a pinch. No harm in that.

I usually buy the prepackaged ice cream so I have no complaints about that. I was surprised when I came into the store and no one came out to greet me or anything. I figure let me open and close the door again and then someone finally came out. I forgot to mention I was there for about 5 minutes without no one coming out until I reopened the door. Its a small shop that usually has traffic around the evening. Its a OK place but for the price I can go to shoppers or giants and get more for the price.

When I saw a Hershey’s Ice Cream was replacing the closed-​up wig shop in Cipriano Square, I was both excited and amused. It does seem like a good match for the Five Guys next door — who wouldn’t want to follow up their burger and fries with a cone or shake? However, this isn’t the first ice cream shop to open in this location. Before the wig shop, there was a Baskin-​Robbins in this storefront… and it didn’t fare so well.
So it was sort of eerie to go inside and see the counter and freezer cases laid out almost exactly like the B-​R had been (what a waste to build an ice cream shop, gut it, set up a retail shop, gut it, and build a nearly identical ice cream shop again). But I digress. Let’s talk ice cream.
We counted 46 flavors in the cases, plus the pre-​packed pints, quarts, and cakes in the freezer. Plenty of traditional things here, but also some nice surprises — seasonal flavors right now like eggnog and peppermint stick, a crazy rainbow-​colored vanilla, multiple varieties of moose tracks (including mint), red velvet cake, pumpkin, mango, etc. Some of the names are ridiculous, and you really have to read the descriptions to know what a lot of these flavors contain (muddy sneakers?). But it’s Hershey’s, you know it’s all tasty. It was nearly impossible to decide. I knew I wanted a milkshake (it’s what you want when it’s 40 degrees outside, right?), so I went with a blend of peppermint stick and chocolate chaos — I didn’t want anything too chunky. It tasted good, but the shake had too much milk and was very watery, sort of like chunky chocolate milk. My companion ordered a shake with pumpkin and eggnog ice creams, and it was slightly thicker.
I’ll certainly be back, since I am around there all the time, and hopefully their milkshake recipe improves. If not, they had several different types of cones, and they also offer smooties, floats, etc. I’m sure I won’t run out of options anytime soon.
