I was craving some ice cream so I landed here. It wasn't busy around 430pm. They have outdoor seating. I decided on a caramel old bay flavor. That's right straight Baltimore kinda flavor. I loved it. It may sound crabby but, the old bay was not overpowering. It was just enough. If you're looking to try a new flavor then give it a shot. I wasn't disappointed.

Tendu I've-Salon where they have standard flavors and flavors that change every week.Service is friendly and you can taste flavors if you don't k ow what you want.I like walking in once in a while to see what they got, and so far I liked it.Place doesn't have much atmosphere, and their decoration doesn't fit in with their name. Anyway I don't come for the decoration, I come for their Ice-cream and that's great.

My favorite food group is definitely ice cream! They had a vegan-ish option! I get the coconut hokey- pokey...and.... It did not disappoint! Creamy and sweet with HONEY.... Which is why they do not get 5 stars because is not vegan honey. Plenty of seating for a neighborhood block party!

We frequent The Charmery a lot because of how close it is to our house. My family appreciates that they can always depend on the Charmery to have their flavor of choice (Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry). The waffle cones are fresh, the rotating flavors are adventurous, samples are available and you can pick up pints to go. They also have a rewards program you can join and prices are comparable to other small batch ice cream places I've visited.This location of the Charmery has tons of seating (both inside and outside) and at least one piece of pretty cool artwork hanging on the wall (I love the cat crawling over the Charmery).There is a lot to like at The Charmery in Towson. So why only three stars? Mainly because of their vegan offerings. While their vegan ice cream is really good, I find that it lacks the inventiveness of their normal flavors. They also have so few options. There is usually a plain chocolate version (or chocolate chip or cookies and cream) and a fruity sorbet. What about the offerings for those of us who aren't really into chocolate? What about fruity ice cream (not just sorbet)? Can I get a lemon peppermint stick done vegan? Can I get more than two or three choices?About every fourth visit I find a vegan flavor that I am interested in experiencing. The rest of the time I pass. If you are into inventive (or even not inventive) handcrafted ice cream, The Charmery has your back. If you want good vegan ice cream in typical flavors, the Charmery can do that too. But if you want vegan options and unique vegan flavors, there are better places to check out in and around Baltimore.

Went in this evening (6/10/2024) to Celebrate My daughter's baseball season ending with my family. As we were deciding the staff seemed annoyed that we were taking a minute . FYI no one else was in line. I asked a few questions about sizing and add-ons and the staff member helping me rolled his eyes. We proceeded to pay quickly just because of the service we received. Not sure what that was about but even my small children noticed the attitude the employees had. I go to this location every once in a while and have never experienced that before. I hope that was a one time issue.

When I use to live in the city this was my go to place for ice cream. It was semi-close to the house and always had interesting flavors. We started coming here when one of our friends moved to the Remington area and raved about their ice creams. One of our go to flavors is Maryland Mud but we typically come with an open mind and end up tasting some of the "for here now" flavors to decide if Maryland Mud is on the ice cream spotlight vs off for that day. They do let you taste all their ice creams if you cannot decide and they do also have some unique flavors - lemonstick is a favorite. They also have things like Saturday day morning Cartoons as a flavor (not my favorite). The boy frequently will get a mini sundae and boy has he been spoiled by their homemade fudge sauce to the point he rarely will get sundaes anywhere else. We have since moved away from Baltimore City, but they now have multiple locations that are slightly more convenient for us (there is now one at Merriweather, and near Towson).

The price is super crazy for just a scoop or a brownie sundae . Don't plan on going there if you want your wallet spent. Even a baby size of iceCream is $$$ . Prices are going up everywhere and they don't seem to even let you get a sample .

Definitely the best ice cream in Baltimore, but doesn't quite reach the level of Salt and Straw on the west coast or Jenis (originally from Ohio and now in DC as well). The Charmery's best flavors are great (grab the Speculos when it's available, the ice cream sando as well) but many are more good than great (the salty caramel for example is fine but not amazing). The homemade waffle cones let you know you're getting close to the shop as you can smell the deliciousness from down the block. And they do a nice job of giving you a chance to collect stamps and then the kiddos can spin the wheel and get a free treat. The toppings are a bit of a disappointment and seem almost like an after thought but great ice cream shouldn't really need toppings after all. The staff are great, cheerful, helpful and patient and that's a big plus. We'll be back for some Speculos and Ice Cream Sando soon.

Good ice cream and good service. Nothing incredible enough to justify the price though. I probably won't be returning. But I am glad I tried it!
