Jitterbug's Ice Cream Cafe — Restaurant in Manassas

I came here with my son, (age 12), and husband. While the ice cream was good, I was very surprised at the owner's attitude towards children. They have a cool "car booth" that children aren't allowed to sit-in, even if you are a member, which costs $75/year, and gets you a t-shirt, quarters towards the jukebox, and a chance to reserve the car booth once a month, but again, your kids can't sit there. Also, the owner was very rude to a parent who's 3 year old touched her reproduction gas pump. The other thing I was surprised about was the "no photographs" rule, which in this day and age, is how businesses get business, through social media. Finally, if you pay by credit card, they show you a tip screen, before you are served. All-in-all, I felt like this was not a family...

What can I say? In a small little alleyway in Manassas there's a magical little window. When you open it, a lovely employee of Jitterbug's ice cream asks you what you want, and answers all your flavor questions. They even tell you that you can convert any said flavors into milkshakes. Then, while your 3-tiered ice cream cone is being constructed, they ask you how you're doing and what you're up to. They engaged in a big chat with my 12-year-old, and as we're currently in quarantine, human interaction is pure gold. You will be the most popular parent/aunt/uncle/grandparent/brother/sister/boyfriend/girlfriend if you take your loved ones here....

Just went to buy ice cream for the kids and ordered a pint of cookie dough. After ordering, we overhead the lady saying she was going to have to pull more out because she didn’t think they had enough left. We got home and opened the ice cream...there was at least 4-6 scoops missing from filling it up. Almost two inches from the rim. It’s even more upsetting because we heard the lady say that they didn’t have enough before they gave us the ice cream. So instead of offering us something else or making it cheaper, they instead let us get home to discover that we had...
