Some people enjoy flights of beer, wine, or coffee, but none of those compare to flights of ice cream. The trend has taken over Northern Virginia, with many businesses offering multiple small portions of your favorite ice creams. You’ll never have to choose just one flavor again.
Moo Thru
The No. 1 winner for the NoVA Ice Cream Wars now offers ice cream flights. Pick out four different flavors and enjoy small portions of your favorite dessert. Popular ice cream flavors at Moo Thru include cookie dough, cake batter, coffee, and strawberry.

Tilly’s Homemade Ice Cream
