7 ice cream, gelato, custard and chocolate shops inside Alexandria, most on lower King Street in Old Town, with addresses and hours where posted.

Last checked Oct. 19, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Most of Alexandria’s ice cream and dessert shops are on lower King Street in Old Town, within a few blocks of the waterfront, with a gelato shop on South Payne Street and a custard stand on Commerce Street. Outside Old Town there is an ice cream shop on Duke Street and a Baskin-Robbins at Potomac Yard.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Alexandria’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, and from the Virginia Department of Health’s food inspection records, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 19, 2026. Several small shops here have no website we could find; each is listed with its most recent 2026 state inspection, which shows it holds a current permit. Ice cream trucks and carts are left out, as is a gelato shop whose own chain site no longer lists Alexandria. Bakeries and doughnut shops are on our bakeries list. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
