“Every once in a while you have something that makes you just go "Goddamn!". Back in south India they had this local brand called Hangyo which churned out the best Belgian chocolate ice cream I've had in my life. Hangyo was immeasurably superior than the competition and I patronized that establishment quite frequently- much to my own detriment.

When I had a taste of the Tall Tale chocolate ice cream here it was the same moment; all over again. Identical in every fashion. I haven't had ice cream like that in 80 months. I had almost convinced myself the nostalgia for the product was a figment of my imagination but the charmery has earned the distinction of proving my sanity. Anyway, I am glad I don't live on this side of the country for the sake of my own health. Otherwise I would've had the top spot on the Charmery watchlist. You never know; the NSA's a stone's throw away.“

“Oh my sweet lord. I absolutely hate cupcakes- I’ve tried every bakery practically in Hoco and from here to the sun for good cupcakes that aren’t dry or that the frosting isn’t hard and flavorful. Smallcakes.Columbia hands down the best cupcakes I’ve ever had in my entire life. These cupcakes taste like Nana just baked them and frosted them before every bite. You guys did a fantastic job!“

“This shake shack is always super goof. Food is fresh and hot the service is friendly! Everything is usually pretty clean as well, I think maybe once it looked a little worse than usual but it was busy so forgivable.

This location does get pretty busy and it can get kind of loud but it's in an ideal location so makes sense. Wife and I love this place.“

Tutti Frutti in Columbia Mall Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt • $
10300 Little Patuxent Pkwy, Columbia

“I go here all the time for Taro Milk Tea!!

Tapioca: I like that they pre cook their tapioca (bubbles) where a lot of other places that offer tapioca as a topping serve it fresher out of the heat which means a lot of times they undercook or overcook their tapioca and it's still hot even in the ice. I like that with Tutti Frutti, they have a more standardized way of cooking their tapioca and ensuring it is cooked properly.

I also really like the portions and the consistency. Every time I get the same order it tastes the same and I love that.

The staff can be sometimes distracted which is awkward for me sometimes but overall they do a good job“
