With halloween just around the corner. You know I had to get some halloween ice cream. So I stopped at Ice cream Jubilee for their Gravedigger Dirt sundae. Let’s just say the first thing I did was I dug in.

Anyway I think it’s time to get to the actual review. The Gravedigger dirt sundae has chocolate ice cream covered with oreo crumbs, gummy worms, a pumpkin candy and and piece chocolate on top.

First thing, I am not a huge fan of chocolate ice cream. But I thought their chocolate ice cream was great. It felt very fresh, I loved it. I would for sure recommend.

The pumpkin candy was not that good in my opinion. But they don’t make candy (well I don’t think so). So I am not going to judge them on that. But that was probably my least favorite part of the sundae.

Duck, Duck, Donut! Guess what? I went to Duck Donuts, so I am going to share my review.

There was a lot of options of donuts I could get. But I decided to customize my own. I got a lemon donut with crushed up oreos and raspberry syrup.

The taste was really good. It never got too sugary for me at any point. So they gets points for that, also the donut was very moist, fresh and very yummy.

I really liked it but, there is just not much to write about. It did good in every category but not outstanding. This was one of my harder articles to write because Duck Donuts did not have anything really interesting.

What time is it???? Grading time! I give Duck Donuts a A. Really good but could there be a better donut shop? Probably so I will keep exploring.

Have you ever been to Duck Donuts? If so tell me what you thought. You either email me your answer dmvdessertz@gmail.com or you can comment down below.

In today’s blog I will be reviewing Levain Bakery! Levain Bakery has 9 different locations, I went to the Bethesda one.

So first thing I noticed was the cookies were very big. Regardless of that, I still decided to get one. I noticed it was very big again. I ate some of it but it got too much for me. By the way I go get desserts at least one a week. So if its a lot for me, it will probably be too much for most people.

The taste of the cookie was very good. I got a Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip. I just felt it was too sugary tasting for me.

One thing I have to point out which I liked very much is they had free water. They had a little station in the store with lemon water and cups where you could get water. I went back a few times to get water, since I was sitting in front of the store.

My overall rating for Levain Bakery is a 6.5/10. Would I recommend it? Probably not but its the type of place that your experience can be totally different than someone else’s based on how you like your desserts.

What I mean by this is, for example you might prefer really chocolate based cookies but I don’t so you might rate a 9/10 but I might rate it a 6.5/10 like I did.

Thanks for reading!!!

In today’s blog I will be reviewing the Ice cream cottage. It is in Halethorpe, MD. So let’s get right into it!

First it sells Hershey’s Ice cream. If you don’t know Hershey’s Ice cream is basically a huge ice cream company that sells in a bunch different ice cream stores.

(Tell me if you want me to do a full article about Hershey’s ice cream.)

The problem that I have with ice cream shops selling Hershey’s ice cream is that one; it makes me think they truly just sell ice cream for the money and they are not creative. And by the way they ONLY sell Hershey’s Ice cream so none of their ice cream is actually made by them. So its really not the Ice Cream Cottage’s brand.

One good thing about the Ice cream cottage is it is very cheap. It was about $4.50 thats a very good price. Especially because they’re are some ice cream shops in the DMV that are twice the price.

My overall rating of the Ice cream Cottage is 6/10. It is meh, pretty good ice cream but nothing special or nothing that stands out too much.

Hello everyone. In todays blog I will be talking about Pitango Gelato. The Pitango I went to is located in Bethesda, Maryland.

One reason I would recommend is it is very good for vegans. They have about 20 flavors and about 10 out of the 20 flavors are vegan. So if you are allergic to dairy its the perfect place for you. Even if your not dairy free the gelato is still so good. That you would never guess its dairy free, and that’s what I love about Pitango.

Another reason I would recommend it is it has so many cool flavors, you would not find at many other ice cream shops. For example White grapefruit, rhubarb, Bosc pear and much more.

It also has a great location. It is located in downtown Bethesda. I personally love walking there, it’s a great destnation.
