Gifford’s Ice Cream & Candy Co. is the Washington area’s oldest and most distinguished ice cream parlor. Gifford’s has been making gourmet ice cream and candies since 1938, with clientele including President Dwight D. Eisenhower, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, and actress Goldie Hawn. Founder John Nash Gifford, an experienced ice cream maker, spent several years perfecting his secret recipes – creating wonderfully unique tastes like signature Swiss chocolate, Peppermint Stick, and fresh or seasonal peach ice cream. And to this day, Gifford’s continue to operate as a family-owned business, maintaining the tradition that has made Gifford’s a local legend. All ice creams, sorbets, sauces, and candies are made daily in nearby Silver Spring, Maryland, ensuring superior quality and freshness.
