Over the past week, The Square in downtown Rockville has gained a frozen dessert shop and lost a taco joint.
- Koala Kreme has opened in the former Marble Slab Creamery space on Gibbs Street. The brightly colored shop offers lots of sweet options, from old-school frozen yogurt and soft-serve ice cream to floats, sundaes, cakes, milkshakes and smoothies. Marble Slab, which closed last September, had been a staple at The Square for more than a decade.
- Little Miner Taco, a food truck-turned-restaurant chain with several other locations in the DMV, has gone dark at The Square after less than two years on Maryland Avenue. The restaurant opened in the summer of 2024, but it soon faced tough competition with the arrival of Big Papi’s Tacos just around the corner.
