Ice cream, coffee, and a place for both.
Authors grew from our family’s love for ice cream, rooted in our Northern Virginia upbringing and our family trips sprinkled with some chaos. Along the way, that original idea grew into something bigger: a local destination where premium ice cream and thoughtfully crafted coffee share the same table. Whether it’s an afternoon latte, an after-dinner scoop, or an affogato that brings the two together, there’s a place for both at Authors.
It started with a family that really loves ice cream.
What started small at local farmers markets eventually led us to open our first brick-and-mortar in 2024, with one goal in mind: to bring truly exceptional ice cream closer to home.
Today, we start with all-natural dairy delivered fresh from the farm and churn our ice cream locally at Authors in Ashburn. Our ice cream is crafted with premium ingredients to create favorites like White Coffee and Maple Walnut, alongside seasonal flavors, specialty sundaes, and dessert pairings.

As Authors grew, we saw an opportunity to create more than a traditional ice cream experience. Coffee became a natural addition—whether it’s an afternoon catch-up, an evening latte, or simply something different for the table.
We partner with a local coffee roaster to get the classics right, then put our own spin on things—from our Cardamom Vanilla Latte and Honey Salt Shaken Espresso to an Earl Grey Matcha made with house-made syrup and ceremonial matcha.
