Altani Gelato:
Located in the heart of Capitol Riverfront, Altani Gelato will bring a unique taste to your mouth with every bite that you take. Their in-house ice cream creation approach allows for the fantastic artisanal flavor to come to life!
With gelato, your taste buds will encounter a creamier, smoother, and silkier, as well as denser and more elastic and fluid, than your average American ice cream.
As a bonus to your gelato experience at Altani, once you’re done with your ice cream treat, you can also enjoy a lovely day at Splash Park. Take in some incredible Summer views and amazing vibes all Summer-season long!
Cold Stone Creamery:
Cold Stone Creamery is one of the most popular ice cream chains in the country. For Capitol Riverfront residents, this famous ice cream chain is right at their fingertips! Located steps away from Nationals ballpark, ice cream and baseball will go hand in hand all Summer season long.
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams:
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, a favorite of President Biden, is a perfect location if you’re looking to explore a new neighborhood! Jen’s scoop shop is located at Yards Park and is ready to serve patrons all warm-season long. Their belief in buying top-quality ingredients directly from producers results in a slightly higher cost and an exponentially better flavor.
Need another reason to grab a scoop? Jeni’s was one of the first ice cream companies to source only compostable bowls, spoons, and napkins in our shops. Currently, 95% of what is bought in their shops is reusable, recyclable, or compostable. We are actively marching toward zero waste in our shops through a critical approach to what comes in (sourcing) and what goes out (waste).
Once there, enjoy some of their hand-selected ice cream flavors that will make you want to keep coming back again and again. Yards Park is also home to many summer events for you to enjoy while eating some delicious ice cream flavors.
