Bob’s Famous Ice Cream is a chain of ice cream shops in Washington, D.C. and the surrounding area.
Description
The shop has a changing daily menu of ice cream featuring selections from over 200 flavors. Many of the flavors are considered unusual and are based off of requests from customers.[1] It is known for flavors like orange chocolate, chocolate chip, and amaretto cookie.[2]
History
The shop was founded by Bob Weiss, a lawyer from Boston. He added “famous” to the name to distinguish it from another ice cream shop called Bob’s.[1] Weiss expanded to several shops, which became popular in the D.C. area during the 1970s and 1980s.[3] In 1985, Bob’s Famous Ice Cream opened a shop in Bethesda, Maryland.[4] The chain opened a shop in Potomac, Maryland in 1997.[2]
