A new spot to score creamy gelato, ice cream and more has made its debut in the neighborhood. The newcomer to Georgetown, called Sugar Lab, is located at 3279 M St. NW.

This innovative gelato and dessert shop is "the research institute for happiness" with a mission to create unique desserts using flavors from around the world, its website explains. 

All frozen treats are made in-house with flavor combinations including Nutella Oreo, strawberry buttermilk and lychee sorbet as well as classic offerings such as mint chocolate and peanut butter. 

With a solid five-star rating out of six reviews on Yelp so far, Sugar Lab is on its way to developing a local fan base.

Nicole N., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on May 14, said, "What a nice addition to Georgetown! Sugar Lab has such a great selection of flavors (with some unique ones mixed in), it was so hard to choose. I got the lychee sorbet and strawberry buttermilk, which were really delicious!"

“So glad there is now yet another freshly made egg waffle (puffle) bearer in D.C.," added Yelper Max C. "It was much needed!”

And Morgan M. said, "All the items are made in-house; they make them just a day ahead to make sure it's fresh."

Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Sugar Lab is open from 11 a.m.–10 p.m. daily.
