Like little girls, the best pastries are made of sugar, spice, and everything nice, and many answer to the name Ashley. Enjoy the sweeter side of dessert with today's Groupon: for $9, you get $18 worth of ice cream, cupcakes, and coffee at Georgetown Scoops.

Conceived by a mother-daughter team, Georgetown Scoops offers a convenient community destination for dessert indulgences. The menu features fluffy cupcakes ($2.70) baked in flavors such as red velvet, cookies and cream, and peanut butter, and topped with a scoop of ice cream ($5.25) for a frosty twist. Decadent sundaes, such as Ultimate Oreo and banana split ($5.99 each), are well-worth the risk of brain freeze, as mind chills and scalp shivers can easily be remedied by downing illy espresso ($1.95) or a cappuccino viennese ($2.75). The storefront is quaint and charming, with a small patio perfect for flaunting frozen sweets in front of foot traffic or quietly working on the Great American Novel about buttercream.
