This week we have another big scoop on the local ice cream scene: Silver Spring favorite Moorenko’s is heading to Westfield Montgomery mall. Owner Susan Soorenko has signed a lease for the marble-topped kiosk in what used to be the Sears wing, originally built for Peet’s Coffee and most recently home to Cookie Dough & Co. The once-quiet spot will be a whole lot busier when the Lego Store opens its doors right across the hall. “Was this location sent from heaven, or what?” laughs Soorenko, who hopes to be up and running by late July. If you haven’t tried Moorenko’s, she recommends starting with the basics (“We make an amazing strawberry”), and then moving on to specialty flavors like Salted Caramel with Praline, Blackberry Chocolate Chip, and bestsellers Honey Lavender and Fresh Ginger. This isn’t the only new ice creamery headed our way: Sarah’s Handmade Ice Cream & Treats is also under construction at the Wildwood shopping center.
