RSS FeedIce Cream & Candy Shop Opening This Week In Gallery Place/Penn Quarter
- Serving Smiles Since 1938
Pamper your taste buds with the sweet offerings of Gifford’s Ice Cream & Candy Co. – the Washington area’s oldest and most distinguished ice cream parlor. We’ve been making gourmet ice cream and candies since 1938, and our clientele has included President Dwight D. Eisenhower, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, and actress Goldie Hawn. Our founder, John Nash Gifford, an experienced ice cream maker, spent several years perfecting his secret recipes – creating wonderfully unique tastes like our signature Swiss chocolate, Peppermint Stick, or fresh or seasonal peach ice cream. And to this day, we continue to operate as a family-owned business, maintaining the tradition that has made Gifford’s a local legend. All of our ice creams, sorbets, sauces, and candies are still made daily in nearby Silver Spring, Maryland, ensuring superior quality and freshness. A Washington institution for generations of children and adults, Gifford’s opens on E. Street between 10th & 11th Streets this week–

Yeah, I walked past the site of Giffords last night. Personally, if I were given a choice of eating ice cream at a specialty shop or at a B&J’s that is inside a souvenir shop, I’d choose the Giffords. I have a feeling people seeing movies at the E St Theater will feel the same. But, we’ll see!
I agree. I think smaller chains add a little bit of charm and more diversity to a neighborhood. Also, the visitor center probably closes at 6 pm or so, so Giffords will catch the later crowd. By the way, I really enjoy this blog. It offers great information and keeps me up to date on my neighborhood. Nice going.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I wonder what this will do to Ben & Jerry’s which is right next door to Giffords.
