Max's Best Homemade Ice Cream (DC - Georgetown)
The name pretty much says it all at this Cleveland Park institution: Max's Best Homemade Ice Cream.
For decades, the always upbeat and tireless Max and his wife have been serving DC residents over 150 flavors of homemade ice cream.
Max's flavors all start with real eggs and cream and from there are transformed into everything from run of the mill chocolate, vanilla and strawberry to more exotic ice creams like cinnamon, gingerbread, pumpkin spice and even one called "Mozambique" - a wild blend of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves.
On a typical summer night, the place is packed with people streaming in from the neighborhood as well as those who have skipped dessert at the dozen or so restaurants that line this strip of Wisconsin Avenue, in favor of a visit to Max's.
Get it while it lasts - the first hints of crisp fall air are moving in and Max typically closes up shop for the winter.

Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going
to bookmark you!
I have a multiplelistingservice site. It pretty much covers multiple listing service related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
I don't usually comment on these things, but I had to when I saw you reviewed Max's Mozambique ice cream incorrectly. Mozambique is neither flavored with cardamom nor with raisins. It is a delicious blend of clove, cinnamon and nutmeg, which is particularly well suited for the fall. No cardamom in any of his ice creams as far as I have seen, an interesting idea, though. Perhaps Max will create an Indian/Scandinavian fusion ice cream that incorporates cardamom, or a mulled wine flavored sorbet.
This ice cream shop is in GLOVER PARK. Cleveland Park may have a lot of great places to eat, but this is not one of them.
