“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 😊💕“

“I adore this spot. The flavor choices are super varied and delicious (even though I always get blue raspberry, I encourage my friends to try new ones). The staff is always friendly and I was recognized as a 'regular' on my second visit.
I love coming in after a bad day and just enjoying the atmosphere and the company.“

“I had the best hot fudge sundae here. They do it RIGHT! They put the hot fudge in the cup & THEN add the vanilla ice cream. And whipped cream! Perfect ratio of hot fudge to ice cream. You’re not trying to find hot fudge for those last 10 spoonfuls. Delicious ice cream & hot fudge too! Yum. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing ice cream!! Lots of different flavors!!“

“I stopped by Pitango for dessert, and it definitely hit the spot! 😋 I tried two flavors: Stracciatella (vanilla with chocolate chips) and Fondente (dark chocolate). I don't usually eat gelato, so I was pleasantly surprised by the creaminess. The service was excellent; I wasn’t sure what to choose, but the cashier helped me by offering samples and sharing details about each flavor I tried. One of the chocolate flavors I sampled was incredibly rich and chocolatey—it's water-based and vegan-friendly, which was a first for me! The restaurant was nice, clean, and had indoor seating that could accommodate several people, but I decided to take my treat to go.“

“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.“

“Lots of great Italian ice and traditional snowball options with great service Love it“

“always friendly staff!! and yummy ice cream ;)“

“Very good ice cream and great mission too!“

“Always a great variety of flavors. Friendly & helpful staff (a bonus when you being young children).“

“Great Pizza, Great staff!!!!“

“Stopped in here while visiting from Jersey and genuinely some of the nicest staff. Everyone was very friendly and the person helping me and my brother was the absolute best, unfortunately did not catch their name. The fudge was heavenly! Love that they offered samples, took three slices home with me because they had a buy two slices and you get a third one free promo. Definitely plan on stopping here again next time I visit the area. I heard great things about their milkshakes. The only downside to this place is the parking situation is AWFUL! However the business cannot control that.“

“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.“

“When this Rita's in Rosedale first opened, I was 15. This was 1995. It was my first job. I was driving past and my daughter asked me for Rita's. So, I said yes. I was glad to see that they are still employing the youth. I got Juicy Pear. I highly recommend. ?“

“We just moved to Baltimore 1 week ago and we didn't know where to go to get food. After wandering the city for a hour we stumbled upon this little bakery. This place is a hidden gem. The food is hot and fresh. Full of flavor. The people were very friendly and helpful. We couldn't understand Spanish but some local men were able to help translate for us. The bakery is delicious. It has a family feel but is also professionally clean and organized. I love this place, will be back again ❤️❤️❤️ absolutely worth every dollar spent.“

“As with all airport versions, it's more expensive than its regular counterpart.
But they were quickly, friendly, and they didn't skimp on the serving size.

Danyelle was friendly and helpful at the register.
The guy who made my Sunday, Von, was an artist. He did a fantastic job.“

“Best snowballs stand around“

“New management has made this friendly, clean, and inviting cafe my new “go to” place for delish frozen yogurt, Korean iced coffee - very smooth and tasty, and beautifully presented scrumptious dessert crepes! Treat yourself to a visit😋“

“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😊 🍨“

“I can’t talk enough about the Charmery and how they’re the best ice cream in Baltimore. The mint mountain is fabulous and unlike any other mint chocolate chip flavor you have ever had. The Friday flavor drops are always unique and delicious. And don’t sleep on the ice cream pies!! They’re great for any special occasion.“

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

“A friend of mine told me I had to try Insomnia cookies. She said they are the best. The shop smells amazing when you walk in. Friendly service. So many yummy choices. I tried a couple and was not disappointed!! I will definitely stop in here or other locations when I see them. I also like that they have ice cream options as well. This is a sweet treat I would recommend. 🍪“

“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.“

“Love this Rita's! They offer many delicious flavors of italian ice. Some varieties include mango, swedish fish, watermelon, cotton candy ect. They are also kosher! Most of the servers are friendly and happily offer taste tests of flavors.“

“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.“

“Very good ice cream and great mission too!“

“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 mango 🥭 smoothie from Häagen-Dazs is pure tropical perfection 😋✨. From the very first sip, you get that rich, creamy texture blended with the natural sweetness of ripe mangoes 🥭💛. It’s smooth, refreshing, and perfectly balanced—not too sugary, just right 👌🏽.
What really stands out is the quality you expect from Häagen-Dazs 🙌🏽—it tastes indulgent yet refreshing at the same time. It’s like a mini vacation in a cup 🌴🥤. Whether you’re cooling off on a hot day ☀️ or just craving something fruity and satisfying, this smoothie hits every time 🔥.
Definitely a must-try if you love mango anything 🥭💯!“

“This place is great. Carlo and Chi-Chi and the rest of the staff are super friendly and they always have everything that I need. If they didn't, I've heard Carlo making special orders for requests that he doesn't carry. You can feel the love here“

“the desserts were amazing and my kids loved it“

“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!“

“This is my favorite place for more than 20 years, the most delicious ice cream, excellent customer service, the owner of the place always with a smile.. I recommend the place with the coffee, great and fresh breakfast, excellent quality ice cream, I recommend everyone to come to this wonderful place!“

“The only place comparable to the Jersey bakeries I grew up with. Such great staff too!“

“I traveled from Bayview area I give 5 stars but don't have no pics cos i ate it too fast but trust me, it. Was. Delicious. I cant wait to go back for another one white lunchmeat turkey sub just how u like it chips and can soda for $6 it was so worth it.“
