Ice Cream Jubilee - Georgetown

Ice cream shop

👍👍 I had a great family ice cream stop here. The entire staff was so friendly and accommodating and there is a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. The ice cream came out really quick too. It was some of the best ice cream I had. It wasn’t overly sweet so it was perfect. Can’t wait to come back.
