🍦 Classic

Madagascar Vanilla

Real vanilla bean specks in a silky, dreamy base. The one that started it all.

🍫 Signature

Dark chocolate ganache swirled with salted caramel ribbons. For the serious chocolate lovers.

🥜 Signature

Salted Honey Pecan

Local honey, toasted pecans, and a whisper of sea salt. Virginia in every scoop.

🍓 Classic

Strawberry Fields

Fresh strawberries blended into a bright, tangy sorbet-style cream. Summer on a spoon.

🥥 Vegan

Coconut Paradise

Creamy coconut milk base with toasted flakes and a hint of lime zest. Dairy-free, zero compromise.

🎃 Seasonal

Spiced Pumpkin Roll

Warm pumpkin spice, cinnamon swirl, and a gingersnap cookie base. Autumn's best friend.

🫐 Classic

Blueberry Lavender

Wild blueberries and French lavender steeped together. Floral, fruity, unforgettable.

☕ Signature

Double espresso, Belgian chocolate, and chocolate-covered espresso beans. Jitterbugs' namesake energy.

Our Story

Born From a Love
of Simple Joys

Jitterbugs Ice Cream Cafe started with a simple question: what if ice cream felt like a hug? Not just a treat, but an experience — warm, welcoming, and genuinely delicious.

Every batch is churned in small batches right here in Manassas. We source local dairy, support Virginia farms, and never cut corners on quality. Our cafe is a place where neighbors become friends over shared cones and late-night conversations.

The "jitterbugs" in our name? That's the happy energy you feel when something tastes this good. No pretense, no fuss — just real ice cream, real ingredients, and real people.

Kind Words

What Our Regulars Say

"This place is our Friday night tradition. The kids beg to come back, and honestly? I don't blame them. The Salted Honey Pecan is unreal."

M

Manassas Local

"As someone who's dairy-free, I usually feel left out at ice cream shops. Jitterbugs changed that. The Coconut Paradise is genuinely the best vegan ice cream I've ever had — and I've tried a lot."

R

Prince William County

"We catered our wedding with Jitterbugs and every single guest asked about it. The Espresso Mocha Crunch had people lining up. Can't recommend them enough!"
