Sprinkles

My kids and I are visiting my sis in Potomac, Maryland. She lives within walking distance to Potomac Village. We took advantage of the beautiful weather yesterday and walked to the village for coffee and ice cream. There is a great, little, quaint ice cream shop called "Sprinkles".

Sprinkles is a tiny, claustrophobic inducing ice cream parlor located just around the corner from the hardware store. When I say tiny, I am not kidding, but their small retail space pales in comparison to their excellent, friendly customer service, their decent portions (they are a little pricey) and their plethora of options.

My daughter always orders the same thing no matter where we go...chocolate ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. I ordered the kid's size for her and she could not finish it. My son and nephew ordered the Oreo sundae and my sis ordered a non-fat yogurt ice cream. I was holding out for a Starbucks (located practically next door) lite Mocha Java chip, but I didn't pass up the opportunity to sample the other selections. I must say the ice cream was excellent, the yogurt was refreshing and it is hard to mess up anything that has Oreos in it.

Sprinkles also offers teas and coffees and much more. I highly recommend it. It is a great place to go with family and friends, or when you are feeling the need to treat yourself to something delicious and decadent.
