Fantasticks Custom Gelato Shop Now Open in Downtown Silver Spring

Fantasticks, which offers custom gelato bars and fruit popsicles, is now open in Downtown Silver Spring ahead of schedule.

According to MoCo360, owner Kishan Bikki said that the business was finishing up the store decorations at the former Starbucks location at 915 Ellsworth Drive and would open the weekend of July 13

Starbucks closed at the end of March when the coffee chain’s lease expired and was not renewed.

Fantasticks, which opened in 2019 in Frederick and at One Loudoun in Virginia, offers gelato bars and fruit popsicles for $5 each. You can add three different toppings for 75 cents each, and chocolate dip is available for an extra $1. Approximately half of the flavors are vegan and non-dairy. Small cups of gelato with one to two flavors are also offered for $6, or the regular size with two to three flavors is offered for $7.25.

The Downtown Silver Spring location is the second Fantasticks in Montgomery County and the fourth in the region, joining Rio Lakefront in Gaithersburg, The Crossing Clarendon in Arlington, Va., and the original One Loudoun location. The hours for the Downtown Silver Spring location are not currently available online; however, the Rio Lakefront location is open from 12 to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sunday.
