I still love how you guys came up with this name of the former Maggie Moos on U Street.

Many have probably noticed that the sign from Maggie Moo’s located at 1301 U St NW has come down. I just learned that the new owners, who are keeping it an ice cream spot, are the same folks behind Aroma Bakery and Market on U Street which we looked at last week. The owners, Steve and Sose, notified me this weekend that they are the new owners of the spot as of Monday. And they are looking for a new name. So if you have a good suggestion for an ice cream store on U Street please leave it in the comments section.
Grand opening is this Friday Saturday. The store is located at 2473 18th St., NW. In addition to frozen yogurt, oddly and happily, they also have an impressive selection of teas. I thought that was pretty funny since I had just asked where was the best spot to get some loose tea?
The inside looks great too.
More photos after the jump including some sweet looking toppings. (more…)
I was a half a second too slow on the trigger here but you can sort of see on the leftmost window there are two jars filled with pickled eggs. Mmm, pickled eggs and ice cream… welcome to the beautiful life.
