Awesomeness in custard form. This lovely little place in Del Ray makes the most delicious frozen custard I've ever tasted--smooth, rich, and flavorful. Current flavors include Mint Oreo, Caramel Heath Bar, and the Dementor's Kiss, a dark blue creation inspired by the world's most famous boy wizard. It is utterly irresistible on a warm summer night, or even a nippy fall evening.  The owners also make incredible sorbets, using endlessly creative ingredients to whip up such concoctions as cucumber mint, pineapple cilantro, and sangria. For pets, they offer puppy pops and squirrel cookies (I can't help loving a place that thinks about pooches). The atmosphere is very unassuming and laid back (something I always crave in DC), and you can linger inside the shop or take a stroll through the neighborhood with your nostalgic treat. Highly recommended.
