The Most Flavorful Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt in Baltimore

Icing On The Cake

★★★★★ 4.6 (17)

"Wowsers!!! I'm not a huge fan of sweets, but I love a good cupcake. I recently discovered icing on the cake after grabbing one from my nail salon right next door. After trying the mini cupcake I knew I'd have to stop in to icing on the cake to try some more on my next visit to my nail salon. All I have to say is...these cupcakes are phenomenal. They have a variety of fun and classic flavors. I went with the red velvet, as that's always my go-to. The cake was delicious, moist and the frosting was the perfect cream cheese frosting you'd expect on a red velvet cupcake. The cupcakes are a perfect size. Well worth the $4.50. This will most definitely be my go-to bakery."

Sonny's Italian Market & Deli

★★★★★ 4.8 (48) • $$

"Sonny's Italian market popped up on my feed for Yelp. This spot is located on Main Street in Elkton. I came for cheesesteaks and an Italian hoagie but I only ordered the cheesesteaks. I'll will be back to check out the hot Italian hoagie.The cheesesteak wit is packed with cheese, fried onions and the ribeye steak. I usually get just provolone cheese on my steak so trying it with the cheese wiz was new. Probably one of the best cheesesteaks that I have had in a while."

YogoLaada

★★★☆☆ 3 (38) • $

"Several of the flavors were out; those that were there were a mushy/watery consistency. Several of the toppings were either out or old. The marshmallows were stale. The chocolate syrup was an off brand. However, the staff was friendly."

Fruity Bar

★★★★★ 4.6 (7)

"Drinks: 5/5 (get that H2O-melon juice or literally any juice/smoothie!)Ambience: 5/5Cleanliness: 5/5Price: 5/5Service: 4/5 (there's two women - the older one was the sweetest)Waiting time: 5/5 (no line - go now!)Overall: 5/5This is a little hidden gem in Highland Town. If you go anywhere near the park, you should make a pit stop here. The smoothies, juices, and bowls are all made with the freshest ingredients. Heck, they even sell the fresh fruit there. Plus, Corazon Helado is right on the same block so why not go all out of and support local businesses by cooling down quickly with a paleta (popsicle) AND a refreshing juice made by a sweet shop owner!The drinks are A+. Really anything sounded good and the fresh juices we got were so refreshing. And they weren't overtly sweet like some places make them. Just a perfect drink for a hot walk around the park. They also have sandwiches. I haven't tried them though. Will have to go back for those.The place is clean, cute, and colorful - like I said, great for a pop-in to grab something and walk around the area or Patterson Park. Not much seating room but that's not what this shop is designed for. Prices are fair and actually cheaper than what I expected for the size of the drinks. There was no one else theres so we got our drinks super quick.Best item on the menu IMO: their watermelon juice. There's also an older woman (of two) there who is the sweetest. She offered to make us fresh hand-squeezed lemonade when they didn't have any and it was too hot to walk outside without a beverage. Definitely try it out!"

Yog Crepes Waffles and Frozen Yogurt

★★★★☆ 4.4 (68) • $

"They need to sweeten their balls. Bubble tea is supposed to have sweetened tapioca or so I have experienced. Sweetened your balls."

Funhouse

★★★★☆ 4.2 (12)

"Friendly and fast service. They have a variety of different types of ice creams you can order. Milkshakes, Italian ice, ice cream cookies or regular ice cream. I talons ice was very good and what was needed on a nice sunny afternoon. Will be back to try the many different flavors and styles they have to offer."

The Charmery Hampden

★★★★★ 4.5 (623) • $$

"Cute ice cream shop! Located in busy Hampden. Parking could be tricky. I snagged a spot a few blocks away. There's not really any seating inside.On a hot summer day, the place was packed. It was my first time here, but i got a good recommendation. They let you sample, and I was curious about the old bay caramel - it was different but not for me. I settled on the salty caramel. I liked it, but it melted way too quickly! Prices aren't terrible."

Shake Shack Kentlands

★★★★☆ 3.9 (53) • $$

"7.19.24Burger, fries, lemonade, and frozen custard all five stars. Only wish their portions were larger and that they had combos to be most reasonably priced. They do offer catered boxes of fries and burgers in servings of 12.Orders can be placed at kiosks or the counter. You pick a number at the kiosk and enter it in and the food is brought to your table.They have a pickup area for online and app orders.Service was great. Seating and parking were adequate. Only thing that would have improved my experience was if tables and seating were cleaned off more frequently by staff."

Lucky's Coffee, Ice Cream and Candy

★★★★☆ 3.5 (123) • $

"Hanging in Baltimore for the week and checked out Lucky's for a late afternoon sweet treat. Friendly and prompt service and great local Baltimore made ice cream. They are quite generous with their scoops even for the kiddie cups. Flavors were great and my oldest loved his shake (sorry no photo). He claimed he knew it was homemade whipped cream. Recommend Lucky's for a sweet treat and also bonus they serve Starbucks as well!"

Cindy's Soft Serve

★★★★☆ 4.2 (154) • $

"A small ice cream shop in a small plaza near BWI.We stopped here late at night because it was the only place still open after 9:30pm and we were pleasantly surprised! Would come back to refresh after a long flight or Amtrak ride."

Dyers Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (72) • $$

"I thought I wrote this a couple of years ago but perhaps I never finished or sent it or I did something dumb like accidentally erase my post.I have yet to find wings that compete with the wings at Dyers. I am no where near Dyers and was brought here by my extended family who live a few blocks away from this wonderful little deli. I live just outside of NYC. This deli is an hour west of Philadelphia in a small town in the middle of Amish country. I've only ever had a few items from their menu, the wings, their cheesesteak sandwich, shakes, and ice cream. I have a hope and a prayer that one day the lovely family who own this deli will open one near me. I know... Selfish. But I salivate at the notion of my extended family coming for a visit from Pennsylvania because they always say: "We're almost ready to head over but we have to make a stop for you first." followed by a giddy smile. I hear those words and even though the following arrival is 2 or so hours later...the food is still just as good with a little bit of a reheat. I'm a big conversationalist when I have friends and family over. But within moments of hugs and hellos and my kids running around in elation. You'll find me sitting quietly at my table happily eating every morsel completely silent until I am done while the rest of the family are clamoring about. Basically, if you want to shut me up for a good 20-30 minutes. Bring me Dyers wings and subs. Perhaps I am biased as some of my family grew up around Dyers and now I have been added to those traditions. I have yet to ever walk in during a visit and not see a random customer that is not welcomed in the very same way as all others. Everyone is family at Dyers and their food feels like it is specially home cooked just for you. If you don't live in the area but are on a road trip nearby it will be one of the best places to stop and eat. trust me...buy extra wings."

Tastee Zone

★★★★☆ 4.2 (21) • $

"One of my favorite places to come for a snowball! Too bad I don't live nearby because I'd have one everyday. Stuck with my trusty flavor-- an old fashioned egg custard, and it DID NOT disappoint. I will forever be a customer and every time I'm in the area, I will definitely stop by."

Smallcakes MD

★★★★☆ 4.2 (77)

"There is nothing small about the deliciousness of the desserts at this place. I love ice cream, but then again who doesn't?! A friend recommended that I try the banana pudding ice cream here. A fine recommendation indeed. It was bursting with flavor and banana pudding goodness. The servers were friendly and pleasant, patient and attentive. I also took home 4 of their cupcakes and oh my goodness!!!! The decadence, the moisture, the flavors. Small cakes is a gold medal winner!"

Kyoto Matcha - Towson

★★★★☆ 4.1 (23)

"Tho parking is a challange, but if you want good dessert, this is one of the place to go. Love the decor, service was excellent, but I come there for the food! Love everything matcha and more!"

Fells Point Creamery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (74) • $

"Super cute spot and perfect for summer, spring, or fall day. The day I stopped by it was blazing hot so this place was calling my name. Really enjoyed the texture and consistency of the ice cream. Great flavor selection and I love the small cafe-like vibe."

Caramel's Ice Cream & Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (9) • $$

"I've been to Caramel's a handful of times and I've always thought the experience was just OK. Their pizza is decent, but nothing special. The atmosphere is not the best. I mean it's passable for a pizza shop, but run down throughout, and in need of updating."

Poulet

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (90) • $$

"What a great place. Top-notch "fast casual" from before it was cool. Very consistent through the years too. Great chicken and sides, great salads, wide variety of juices and drinks, plus - sshhh - secretly the best homemade ice cream in the Baltimore area (only about 10-15 flavors but they are staggeringly great). Only downside is occasionally the chicken can be a little dry, though not usually - depends on turnover and timing. But the prices are right for the size and quality of what they offer. Nice folks too."

Caffe di Roma

★★★★☆ 4.3 (93) • $

"A go-to for breakfast, lunch, and coffee. I live and work in the area, and find myself in there multiple times per month. I've never had a bad experience, and I've been going for over a decade. The food is consistent and very reasonably priced. Where else can you get a BLT, chips, pickle, and large iced tea for less than $10? Just a heads up - they are often VERY busy. For good reason! They're awesome. But be prepared to wait. It's a small place, so it can get cramped during meal times. But it's so worth the wait, and the people who work there are fantastic. A true Catonsville gem."

Afters Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (166) • $

"Afters in Federal Hill is a sweet haven! After a tipsy evening at Watershed, their carrot cake hit the spot. Exceptional service helped me find the perfect treat. Truly, a must-visit dessert spot!Nice little ambiance as well. Had a beloved neighborhood spot vibe."

Bmore Licks

★★★★★ 4.5 (624) • $$

"Whew lawd this ice cream is delicious! Banana Brownie HAS TO BE the yummiest flavor I've ever tasted! Creamy Banana with brownies mixed in. This ice cream shop puts others to shame. There will be a line and a wait. The lines move quickly. Indoor seams to move quicker than the windows outside. Flavor combinations are listed everywhere. So many great flavors to choose from, Blueberry Lemon and Pistachio are other favorites."

Crabbs Tropical Treat

★★★★☆ 4 (55) • $

"Always my favorite treat when I'm in town there's no better chicken than tropical treat!!"

Cottage Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6)

"I happened to be in the area and called my son. He was at this location with his kids. I said I will be there. I want ice cream too. LolI arrived and it wasn't crowded at all. I was loving the ice cream flavor selection. The young lady took my order and I had my ice cream quickly. I sat in the booth with my grandchildren and son. The table had a checker board made within it. As the children had already eaten their ice cream, they played the games. It was very colorful inside. A very cheerful place."

Shilla Bakery & Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.6 (204) • $

"3.19.23Good selection of pastries I like including bean buns, sweet rice red bean donuts, and croissants, however, cake slice flavors are limited. They didn't have any flavors I was really interested in. I settled for the mango mousse. I also purchased a slice of the fresh cream cake for my hubby and the red bean donut and bun for myself.The mango mousse flavor and texture was not for me, but I ate it as I was raised not to waste food, but I didn't particularly enjoy it. My pastries were good and my hubby's cake was good. I would just return for their packaged pastries. Few things to note:-They are closed on Tuesdays.-Located in Victoria Plaza.-$5 minimum purchase for credit cards, $10 for Amex and & Discover."

La Michoacana Ice Cream Shop

★★★☆☆ 3 (5)

"The best non owned by Mexican ice cream I had tasted!!!The words are not enough to describe how good the ice cream was.It tasted like Mexico!!!!I had pistachio, tres leches and cheese, yes chese!!! You won't regret coming here!!!"

Pauly's NY Pizza & Ice Cream

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (66)

"My Hubs saw this place on Instagram and it was recommended, so we gave them a try. We got here late afternoon and the place was empty except for 2 people. It's carry out/seat yourself. The Restaurant looked nice and clean. We were warmly greeted and placed our order at the counter. We dined in and the Cashier brought our Food to the Table. We ordered a Cheesesteak and Italian Cold Cut Subs, Margarita Pizza and French Fries. Both Subs were filled with plenty of meat. The Cheesesteak was tasty and seasoned well, the Italian Cold Cut was good but could use more Mayonnaise, Oil and Vinegar. The Margarita Pizza and French Fries were good also. We would definitely come back if we are in the area."

Croustille Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (23)

"This place just opened recently and we really love what they have! They're completely dairy free so we ordered some pastries for our Friday night dinner and we were not disappointed at all. It's delicious especially for being dairy free! Their challah bread is also super good, it's kind of like brioche. We also ordered some viennoiseries for the morning (croissants, chocolate croissants and pain Suisse) and we were very pleased. It's a little taste of France!"

PepperJacks Subs

★★★★☆ 4 (189) • $

"First time as Pepperjacks and it was a good experience overall. The American sub was made well: good ratio of meat to toppings (I added mayo, mustard, onion & pickles). I love that they used green leaf lettuce instead of iceberg. The onions were sliced really thin, which I also like. The fries were fine; a tad thicker than a like, but made fresh to order so they were good. Nothing special. Ordering online was simple and picking it up was easy. The parking wasn't the best. I came at a busy time and there was one parking spot left by the dumpster. It being busy was a good sign since that means the ppl in the area know it's good (I'm new here), but you gotta be careful getting out since it's right off the street. Peel out in case someone's coming around the corner fast lolI'll be back!"

Bmore Licks

★★★★★ 4.6 (114) • $$

"Came here for some ice cream on a cold, windy day. It's always time for ice cream especially from Bmore lLcks. I got my seasonal favorite the caramel eggnog on a sugar cone. My friend got the cookie butter ice cream with Oreos on top. Despite the cold weather, both were SO good!All in all, Bmore Licks has some of the best ice cream in Baltimore. If you're in the area (or not) stop by for some great ice cream."

Smoothie Himalayan

★★★☆☆ 3 (2)

"This is a newer place in Marley's food court, but it deserves more attention than it's getting. It's pretty small, I think family owned? But their smoothies are fantastic! I love getting a strawberry and banana smoothie right before I head to work. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that they use real fruit and fresh ingredients. They're not too expensive either, so it's a win win. I'd definitely recommend them for a quick treat."

Opies Soft Serve and Snowballs

★★★★☆ 4.2 (49) • $

"I love Opies. The quality of ice cream, the service, the space, and parking all make it wonderful. It's an easy location to get to and a perfect setting to enjoy a sweet treat. Snowballs, ice cream, milkshakes, cookies--it's all delicious and affordable."

Kyoto Matcha

★★★★★ 4.5 (185) • $$

"The parfait was great! Loved the textures from the crunchy corn flakes, chewy mochi, spongy cake cubes and sweet/savory ice cream. There's a machine for easy ordering and the mini cakes aee convenient for takeout to bring as host/hostess gifts."

Fryer’s Roadside

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (65) • $$

"My sisters and I are fried chicken lovers, so we always get fried chicken out when I am visiting the DC area. Fryer's Roadside is not far from sister's house in Four Corners. We got lunch here on a Sunday and they had a steady stream of customers ordering take out. They have a couple of hi top tables inside and 3 picnic tables outside if you want to dine there. We ordered take out. I had their Spicy Chicken Sandwich. It was good. A good size for the price I paid for them. Definitely better than Popeye's or any fast food place. It has slaw, pickles and a huge chunk of boneless chicken. A little messy to eat, so you're gonna need a lot of napkins! Their hot sauce is nice and hot so I would suggest dipping your sandwich into the hot sauce if you want it hotter. My sister also bought a box of 8 piece chicken. I tried one of the thighs. It wasn't as crunchy as I would have liked but the flavor of their seasoning is good. The chicken was really moist. I also tried the Mac and Cheese (good) and the fries. They are very generous with the fries and they are not from frozen bagged potatoes. They are made from fresh potatoes. They get soft fast so eat them right away when they hand them to you. For dessert, I had the Turtle Sundae. It was nice and refreshing on a warm day! My niece really liked it.I would definitely return if I am craving fried chicken. Always happy to support a family owned business."

Miss Twist Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4.4 (59) • $

"Stopped by after LP steamers for dinner for a quick dessert. We ended up getting the Banana Boat. They weren't super busy but we did notice a constant stream of foot traffic going into and out of the store, indicating it's fairly popular.The inside is done up like it were an ice cream truck with cut out of a bus so it was cute and fitting. Banana Boat was perfect for 2 to share for sure. Walnuts, pineapples (this was new), whipped cream and cherry on top. Would recommend it."

Cup Love

★★★★☆ 4 (203) • $

"Cup Love is an amazing dessert place I just came across over the past month! I have tried their Oreo, triple chocolate, and red velvets which were all so good! They have great options for those who have specific food requests or allergies. The workers are super sweet and are very patient with my questions and making up my mind on which cup cake to try! The shop is super welcoming, and they also have FroYo for anyone who is down for a nice cold sweet. The prices aren't bad for cup cakes ranging from $3-5 which is average for a good gourmet cupcake. Overall I highly recommend and can't wait to bring my family to this amazing shop!"

The Red Bean

★★★★☆ 4.3 (183) • $$

"I'm think that this is the best and most unique ice cream shop in Annapolis. You choose from a variety of toppings, such as cookies, candies, sauces, and they have this really nifty machine that spins it together to make an excellent soft serve. I got the vanilla ice cream with peppermint syrup and Oreo, it was such a delicious treat. They also offer baked goods, tea and coffee. People that work there are very nice! I look forward to going there whenever I get a chance yo visit Annapolis."
