44 Best Ice Cream Shops in Baltimore

“What an unexpected delight my stop at Rita's was. I got the mango cherry gelati and it was fabulous. Michelle sold me on it and gave exceptional customer service. I never thought I would like it and now I will be trying it every time I fly through BWI! Give Michelle a raise she is making you money.“

“This was a great restaurant to stop by during my layover in Baltimore! I was quite starving, but I didn’t want a big meal or junk food because of my upcoming flight.
This place offered an excellent strawberry banana smoothie that helped quench my hunger. A small was 7 dollars.
It was nice getting to watch them peel the banana, which helped ensure its freshness.
The smoothie itself was delicious and sweet with the two flavors popping out every couple sips.
Overall, great place, and if I’m ever stuck in Baltimore with a growling stomach again, I will be sure to return.

*I took a picture halfway through drinking it because I realized it was so good. They did not give it to me half empty.“

The ice cream tasted very good. I got the brownie and ice cream and enjoyed it. Next time I might try the chocolate chip cookie and ice cream.“

“The best gelato in B’more.“

“Perfect place nice service and more the flavors are super🫠🫠🫠🫠“

“Baltimore in a Box Ice Cream Parlor is such a fun spot! They offer so many different flavors to taste, which makes the experience exciting. I especially enjoyed the Po-canut flavor — it was delicious, and I loved being able to taste real coconut in it. The variety and quality make this place worth visiting, and I’d definitely go back again.“

“We met the lovely owner, who shared some samples with us. Very good fudge, wish we were hungry for the ice cream. We are returning in December with our son, Liam and his fiance will be in from Japan and will join us, as we will be going to the Thames St.Oyster Bar again for another fabulous seafood meal.“

“R. House represents Baltimore super well, with great local businesses, affordable drinks and a charming, neighborly atmosphere. And they put on great events, even Mario Kart tournaments!“

“The service was excellent. Later I realized I had lost my wallet. I had been in many places and thought I might have to cancel my credit card, get a new driver's license, etc, Luckily I called Rita's which was where I dropped the walletThank you Rohul, Mike and Zack.Mark“

“I love that they're serving raw milk now I just wish it was in glass.“

“Wow, delicious treats in a variety of flavors and so close to home!! I went there today 6/8/23 for the first time and my family loved it!!! I was feeling barbielicious, so I ordered the Pink Barbie flavor. My family ordered Cherry, Cotton Candy,Banana, and Cake Batter Flavors.“

“Karen is an amazing baker. She saved the day after we were let down for our wedding cake. She delivered a beautiful 3 tiered cake. The flavours were a delicious lemon with lemon curd, vanilla and raspberry and chocolate biscuit cake. All our guests were raving about it. Couldn't recommend her enough 😊💕“

“Not accessible.

Incredible food, fresh, nutritious, clean, affordable. There's fresh fruit cut up and ready to enjoy, fresh salads, a menu to order from, and a cafeteria-style buffet.

There's a bakery to die for! I was warned that if I go in the morning the line will be out the door, so consider going later on.

The staff are friendly and effective communicators. You won't be disappointed! Note: If you're white, anything that looks spicy probably is. But the flavour is exquisite.“

“First time going to Jupiter’s was on 1/6/24… I've lived Mt Washington-Pikesville area my entire life. Whole Foods has been in this area for many years-my go to market. Jupiter’s has been here as well however the outward appearance of the building didn't seem inviting to me. On the drive to whole Foods I would always ask the question about Jupiter ‘s “why does that building look so isolated, old with a large porch.” One day of recent on my Birthday 1/6 decided to go in to inquire. It was a young guy maybe about 20 just looking at us and never said “may I help you.” I remember asking, how long this place been here and what was the best selling flavor. This young man couldn't answer either question. I then proceeded to order 2 dips, one carmel crunch and the other coffee oreo in the pink, yellow cup costing about $6.50. In spite of the building- Jupiter’s looking isolated and old- true saying “don't judge a book by its cover.” THIS PLACE-JUPITER’S HAVE THE BEST TASTING ICE CREAM I EVER HAD. It’s rich, thick in its consistency-spoon after spoon of pure mouth watering delight. This ice cream isn't loose or soft but quite firm. I have gone back several times since with my daughter and friends. The other times I went customer service was much better with another young man who was very informative and recommended flavors to try. If you are in the Mt Washington-Pikesville area and have a taste for some pure goodness ice cream...try Jupiter’s. You won't be disappointed😊 🍨“

“Like that you can buy syrup directly from them. Flavors are good and sugar based.“

“Friendly people behind the counter, generous size servings and some off the wall decorations. Sprinkles, hot fudge, caramel and much more for toppings. There were numerous selections of ice cream, just about anything most people would want.
Street parking only, and it can be a busy road with all the antique shops and clothing stores.“

“Kind Service and The Island Passion Ice was soo Good!!!“

“Very tasty, healthy, sweet treat. My favorite is the island blend.“

“The owner was GREAT to work with on a last minute request. A super delicious 6 inch Cookies and Cream cake and some cupcakes. She even delivered it to the restaurant after closing. So glad we found Codetta on Google.“

“I stopped by this morning around 9: 00a.m. and received the most wonderful customer service that I have had yet, I believe her name was Clari. I've been here numerous times and she is always upbeat, friendly, quick, and you can tell that she really cares about you! She always shows an empathetic side and always has a smile on her face! If you want the best customer service, stop by and ask for Clari! You won't be disappointed!“

“Kind Service and The Island Passion Ice was soo Good!!!“

“My family and I have always ordered Taharka via their Local Home Delivery, this was our first in person visit to a scoop shop. Customer service was excellent and they were well stocked to provide us with samples, scoops, and pints to go. Will continue to recommend Taharka over other premium ice cream brands like Jenis, Salt & Straw, Van Leeuwen etc.“

“Just had the pizza. Definitely the best New York style pizza around! The owner is very down to earth and very appreciative. 10/10 recommend you need to try the pizza and gelato. Great Baltimore business!“

“Had to make a stop at Quality Snowballs on 36th Street! At first glance, I wasn’t sure if I having a snowball or eating a salad! Watermelon Basil and Lime Snowball! Perfectly cut up watermelon on top to ensure that there are pieces in every scoop! Watermelon and Lime snowball flavors with a slice of lime. The fresh basil was good but it seemed to overpower the snowball a little. I would’ve preferred fresh mint instead but overall, it was worth me cheating on my Louv-vah!“

“Everytime I come here, I order a Blizzard or Milk Shake. I haven't been disappointed yet!“

“My experience dining at the freshly annexed baskin robins went above and beyond all expectations. I had already been a loyal Dunkin costumer, so when I heard about the addition of B.R, I knew I needed to give it a try! The staff were welcoming and friendly as always, creating a lovely atmosphere that transcended into B.R. The two young gentlemen that run the store are so pleasant to talk to! They know all of their regulars by name! The staff are always diligent and efficient; they always have a smile on their face! They have the homey environment of a small business, with the options/prices of a franchise! It truly is the best of both worlds.“

“Love the ice cream, but they were soooo backed up on a Monday night with only 2 people serving it was ridiculous. I waited in line for 30 mins. I just got a birthday cake, and both guys went in the back and took 10 mins just to put it in a box! Never again“

“Super cute spot, delicious treats. Friendly service. Definitely must visit again.

Kid-friendliness: Kids would love it. Plenty of sitting. Small enough spot for kids not to run around and parents not to get overwhelmed

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Excellent experience. Got exactly what I wanted and plenty of it. Service was very friendly. Restaurant dining area was clean. Ultraconvenient parking right in front of the door. Try the light vanilla ice cream, no sugar added. Have them mix in coconut, banana, and pineapple. The less sweet ice cream together with those toppings makes an amazing dessert.“

“It was really good. Custard on an Italian ice. I have never had that before.“

“I was there last Thursday and the manager was seriously so sweet. Went above and beyond in service!! Was so sweet to the baby and the dogs. Sooo kind. Made the experience amazing“

“the desserts were amazing and my kids loved it“

“So the fat kid inside of me loves Rita's swirl ice cream. I get one of those and I feel like OJ did when he first met Nicole. Sheer bliss.

Alas, the kiddie size. The smallest size. Is like $5 and some change. Five dollars for a kiddie cone? ??‍♂️ And so, though I love Rita's inflation got me messed up and I'll only be frequenting there once a quarter.“

“Baskin-Robbins is a solid choice for ice cream! I usually get the cookies and cream in a cup, cone, or waffle bowl, and it’s always tasty. The ice cream is super creamy and packed with flavor. I’d prefer if they had a drive-thru, but that’s just me being lazy. This location is closest to my house, but if I’m feeling lazy, I’ll drive down the road to their drive-thru location. I do think the prices are a bit high, but I get it—quality ice cream isn’t cheap! Overall, Baskin-Robbins never disappoints!“
