Calypso Ice Cream & Coffee

Stopped by Calypso for a SoFar Sounds event - live intimate music that they host at venues around the area. Its a nice small ice cream shop in the Trinidad neighborhood. Nice art around the building with a few cool quotes inside. You order and purchase your ice cream on a screen and they call your number once it's ready.

I had the chocolate chip ice cream and donut combo. Both were good - the donut could've been better if it were a little warm but overall pretty good. the service was good and the space was nice for the event. I would go back and check it out if i were in the area.

A great addition to the local neighborhood. The colorful mural outside and the neighborhood staff serving up the ice cream is a refreshing celebration of the community. I can see this being a real treat on those hot days and it's right next to the bus stop. Come check it out and enjoy the coffee and doughnuts as well!

Just came to the grand opening and it was amazing! Great atmosphere, employees were so happy and nice. They even gave us a free scoop of ice cream for our first scoop! I got the mint moose tracks and a caramel latte and it was really good. The prices are great and they even serve Vietnamese drip coffee. I’ll have to try it next time.

Great setup with kiosks for ordering, and a huge amount of great ice cream flavors. Nice espresso coffee offerings and very friendly staff. Looking forward to many cozy mornings here this fall.

The chai latte with oat milk and honey 🫡🤩🤩 so good. I attended an open mic event here twice. Hosted by @curations.dc on IG. Taylor was so warm, friendly and very encouraging to everyone. The owner was there the second time and not very friendly. People were kicked out at 9pm on the dot. I think a 5 min warning announcement would've been more respectful to paying customers. The event was very cool and an excellent way to experience the creative community.

Great local ice cream shop with a large selection and great service. The exterior and interior are beautiful. Perfect for selfies or a fun mini photo shoot! Will definitely return!

Was so excited that something opened up in this building. Love the public art mural which adds much appreciated color to the corner. I took advantage of the unseasonable warm weather and got ice cream. The salted cookies and cream was perfection! I was able to sit outside on their furniture to enjoy in the sun and people watch. Staff was very friendly! I’m excited they carry a local coffee bean and can’t wait to try some at home.

Great addition to the neighborhood! The Birthday Cake ice cream was delicious. So was the Mint Chocolate Chip. The coffee was some of the best I’ve had; love that it’s a local brand. The servers were efficient and kind. Great energy here - I highly recommend Calypso.

Very cute shop in the middle of the Trinidad neighborhood. I was elated to see such a vibrant BLACK OWNED establishment in the heart of one of DC's original neighborhoods.

Service was A1, all the staff were friendly and accommodating. Stop by, they're serving up smiles!!

Went for an event, so I didn't get to try the ice cream, but I heard the Salted Caramel Cookies and Creme is a hit!

Lovely establishment! Yummy ice cream but my real favorite is their coffee! The outside is gorgeous and the staff are sweet beyond sweet. They utilize technology very well but is still a neighborhood-friendly spot for the locals.
