Amanda Abrams wrote about Max's Best as part of a longer piece about ice cream shops on July 3, 2009.
If there's a stereotypical image of a neighborhood ice cream joint, it might resemble Max's in Glover Park. The long, narrow store is papered with photos of kids and famous Washingtonians eating ice cream, signs for flavors are hand-drawn, and husband-and-wife owners Max and Marsha Keshani -- the only employees -- know almost everyone who comes in.
And then there's the ice cream itself. Offering almost 30 options daily, the couple rotate through 200 different flavors that include old favorites (English walnut and peppermint stick), upstarts (cookies and cream, cookie dough) and a wide swath of fruit, coffee and chocolate varieties (lemon, peach, mochachino, coffee chip). Asked if he's a perfectionist, Max replies, "Of course," and it shows: The flavors are fresh and strong, the taste is rich and the whipped cream atop a sundae is house-made.
we used to live in glover park over 15 years ago. we had a large group of friends and would meet at max's for ice cream all the time. it was our staple. max and his wife were THE most amazing people. that's why we were there all the time. we all felt like their extended family. our group had a birthday party and had a photo taken of all 32 of us - and today, that photo is still their 15 years later. funny thing, it's the only photo of adults surrounded by an entire wall of photos of kids. it's a special place. i encourage anyone and everyone to visit max's best ice cream. for the ice and to take a moment and talk with max - a very special man. it's been a lot of years, but that place was always home to us.
