Nice place to stop for Italian ice or custard. There are a lot of different flavors for Italian ice and your standard vanilla, twist, and chocolate for custard. Occasionally they will have another flavor of custard. They also have kids sizes, which is not on the menu. The portions are huge, even with a kids size.Can get very crowded but the staff works well to get the line moving.Plenty of parking. And easy to get in and out of the parking lotThere are several tables and benches behind the building as well.Dietary restrictions: There are sugar free optionsParking: Tons of parking!Kid-friendliness: Kids sizes available, just ask. The kids love playing in the back area with other kids
Overrated? Maybe.. but if you are into Custards then you will love it. However, for me the portion was way too much and had to throw away most of it. Again not because of the taste but because of the portion. I wish it was near a mall or park or closer to the Old Ellicott City.

Loved the gelato!! Delicious!! Line went a little slow but it was a crowded day. I love all the flavors they offer!
Ice creams lack richness that you get from creamy soft serve typically.Servers look uninterestedThe place supposed to be a kid magnet, cheer up a bit

Good location with abundant flavor options. Been coming here for years and the ambiance and service remain the same good quality. I recommend getting their most popular and my favorite, the mango Italian ice. I also love their piña colada, island fusion, and guava passionfruit flavors. If they happen to have their orange cream custard, do get it- it is similar to a nearby ice cream shop that makes a great orange ice cream as well.

Off season, not as pleasant. I asked to use regular custard in a misto instead of liquid custard which makes it thicker for travel purposes (King's Contrivance and Hickory Ridge do it all the time). This one always says they don't do it because it takes longer and their machines. Same machines as other places and no one was there. He was not happy about it and then pretty much made me an italian ice. Not sure there was any custard in it. A lot of money for ice.
Friendly staff, casual place, picnic tables in the back, often a line but it moves quickly.
