Don't miss out on this little gem! The employee was incredibly kind and welcoming. The ice cream was out of this world. You must try out honey graham! There was also an area to buy small-business made items such as cook books, spices, sauces, and jewelry. It is obvious that each item for sale in the little shop was chosen with care and great thought.

Great ice cream, I actually loved the day free dark chocolate best. The store also has a very neat range of other products, including unique chocolate blocks from interesting small companies (such as a fig and honey dark, mango lassi white) that are also very tasty. Highly recommend. Very lovely staff, cute atmosphere.

My wife and I stopped into Lulabelle's Sweet Shop in Petworth today for some ice cream, and we were pleasantly surprised! They had 12 delicious flavors of ice cream to choose from, and everything we tried was top-notch. The two ladies working there were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. While the prices were a bit on the higher side, they felt fair for the quality and atmosphere. The shop itself is stocked with all kinds of snacks and drinks—definitely a great place to satisfy your sweet tooth. We’ll definitely be back!

It’s hard to convey what a wonderful place this is. The ice cream is superb but that’s only a small part of what makes Lulabelle’s special. The people here are warm and friendly—the staff and the customers. It’s full of laughing kids and smiling couples. It really is a place for community and comfort food.

What a cute place! The decor is adorable and the ice cream is delicious. I loved the peanut butter which I am normally not a fan of and the watermelon. The watermelon was very refreshing, perfect for a hot summer day. I also had a iced dirty chai which I thoroughly enjoyed! They also have lots of cute nick nacks and sweets throughout out the store which are reasonably priced.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem today while walking around northern DC and it was just amazing. The service was great, the food was awesome and overall everything was delicious. We had a cortado, a chocolate milkshake and a scoop of the AMAZING honey graham ice cream. I was blown away, I didn’t even know that flavor was a thing but oh my god if I had it back in orlando it would be my go to!! Highly recommend
