The Dairy Godmother

Your best bet is to always try their daily special . I just had the "Breakfast in Bed" (Maple custard with waffle cone & bacon ). That's right bacon ...Bacon + Ice Cream = ????

Great custard ! I usually get it over the cobbler of the day. They also make a very good turtle and have frozen treats for your dog. Bonus: You may get a sighting from the 1st Family! Read more

The rice krispies sundae was really creamy, the krispies really complimented it. Very good and unique

Frozen custard is their specialty. Get it in a dish, in a cone , or in a tasty cherry sundae .

Treat of the day is the way to go! Also love salted caramel , summer pudding , Florida lime pie , khulfi....oh screw it, every flavor is fantastic ;) and be sure to try the pops, too!

It turns out custard is the perfect combination of soft serve and regular ice cream . Flavor options include chocolate , vanilla and the flavor of the day (if you're feeling adventurous).

Everything is good. The custard , the sorbet , the fruit cobblers , the cookies and pastries and brownies . You cannot make a bad choice.

OH. And for the love of god, when there's a long line , please do the regulars and the great staff a favor, an have your order ready when your turn comes :P lol

The cobbler of the day is ALWAYS AMAZING! Worth the $5 for the daily special . Mmmmmm

A Del Ray institution! The basil sorbet was wow!

The crown jewel of eats in Del Ray. Eat anything here, it'll be the best taste you've had all day.

Best rated place in the Virginia area for a reason! Best sorbet , sundaes , floats, and ice cream .

I highly recommend the root beer custard float, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

The custard flavor of the day is always delicious- one of my favorite spots as a local.

Amazing custard . There's flavor of the day but also a treat if the day which is often a delicious homemade cobbler .

This place is amazing... Check the website for the featured flavor of the day.

I originally didn't get the hype, but afterwards ... I can confirm this place is the truth! Don't wait until closing; you may miss out on your favorite flavor.

The treat of the day - strawberry rhubarb cobbler with a scoop of vanilla - blew my mind. Perfection!

The most simple review; I arrived a skeptic and left a loyal believer. Just like Grandma used to make!

Looking for a refreshing cup of custard ? Get the Turtle sundae with fudge and pecans

It's a local institution. A must during the summer months !

Even if the line is long go for it. It is worth the wait!! So good

Food blogger Feast After Famine recommends this ice cream shop’s chocolate and vanilla custard and their seasonal Girl Scout Cookie-inspired Thin Mint Custard .

This IS CUSTARD ! Real custard - creamy, lovely and delicious :)

Chocolate custard (in sundae ) was pretty good but nothing special. I prefer regular ice cream , which is fluffier, sweeter, more exciting in flavor, and not so "egg-y" creamy...

Best custard (ice cream ) in the DC area. Great atmosphere.

Custard and puppy pops for my Bubs makes this place officially the spot.

Check their website or Twitter to see what the flavor of the day is.

I've tried many things here, but the Door Coutu Sour with vanilla custard is the best and most refreshing.

The best frozen custard EVER! Even the Obamas agree. Read more

Great strawberry milkshake ! Sadly only one size! I wanted more it was that good!!!

Great custard ice cream .

Try a meerwasser! It's a sorbet and ginger ale float. Made with Sprecher soda of course.

The Best Custards ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Her Dairy Godmother, banana pudding is not a Saturday night flavor.

Long line but it is good. They have a webcam to check the line

The puppy pops are addictive, although a bit big for toy-sized dogs. Save the rest for later!

Favorite ice cream spot in the DMV!

Try the turtle sundae !
