I know it’s COLD outside and you may not be thinking about a frozen treat, but Dskco stopped over to my family’s favorite destination, Carmen’s Italian Ice and wrote up a review for her Lunching in the DMV blog.
Last month my friends and I wanted something sweet and decided to go to Carmen’s. They are known for their Italian ice, custard, and gelatis. Located in Rockville off I-270, exit 6A, there is plenty of parking in the front lot. The closest metro stop would be Rockville on the red line.
Take a read. She decided it’s affordablew and way better than Rita’s!
Lunching in the DMV is a local Rockville blog reviewing restaurants throughout the metro DC area. Whenever, she writes about a restaurant in Rockville, we post a link to her article. She stops by all those places you wonder about to let you know whether you should. We’re happy to share her experiences with our readers.

I completely agree with Dskco!
Carmen’s is my favorite custard/ice shop in town! 
My family went just last night! We got a couple cones of Peppermint Custard. It’s just like the holiday flavor from a creamery I used to go to. Next time, I would avoid the crushed candy cane slivers. They make a beautiful display of green white and red but it also made the mintyness overwhelming. Luckily it was easy enough to scrape them all off.
Carmen’s is my favorite morning coffee stop on my way to work and hangout for coffee and bagels on weekends. The owner and staff provide a friendly, welcome atmosphere and the coffee is great too! And supporting family-owned, local small business is important to me.Try it; you’ll like it!
