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
