With spring upon us, you might start craving some warmer weather treats. Nothing hits the spot quite like a homemade ice cream on a warm DC day. You have plenty of options for ice cream shops around DC but if you want the creamiest, most delicious homemade ice cream in the district then you need to head to Larry’s Homemade Ice Cream. This tiny Dupont circle shop serves the best ice cream in the city.
Larry’s has been open since 1985. It’s hidden in a basement space just north of Dupont Circle but it’s worth searching for!
There are 40 different ice cream flavors available at Larry’s. You can find everything from traditional vanilla and chocolate to local favorites like cinnamon oatmeal cookie dough, salted caramel, red velvet and cardamom almond.
Larry’s is a small and no frills shop. There is not a ton of space inside and there’s sometimes a line outside the door in the summertime but it is so worth a stop for delicious high quality ice cream.
