“Pitango Gelato at Fells Point is an absolute delight for anyone who appreciates quality desserts! The gelato is incredibly rich and creamy, with a fantastic range of flavors that make it hard to choose just one. I sampled a few, and the samples were amazing—each one was bursting with flavor and made the decision nearly impossible!

The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy a sweet treat. The staff is friendly and eager to help you navigate the delicious options. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick pick-me-up or settling in for a leisurely afternoon, Pitango is a must-visit in Fells Point. I can't wait to return and try even more flavors!“

“I have been going to this place since my dad first brought me here in 2000. This guy remembers his regulars even after the season ended and opens up the next year! Now i finally get to take my own kid here for her first snowball! He is very generous with the syrup and toppings. Well worth the money and the experience they give you. 10 / 10 will be going again.“

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

“Shakes so good they're almost rebellious—creamy, rich, and an absolute joy. But fair warning, the sweetness might just steal the show, giving your sweet tooth the thrill it craves. The shakes are a little pricey so be aware. There is a short wait. There is a little arcade when you first walk in.

Vegetarian options: The ice cream served here is vegetarian.

Parking: Free parking lots available in Ellicott City, not by this location specifically. They may fill up on nice days

Kid-friendliness: Kids love milkshakes and ice cream. Kids can easily share a shake.“

“Elon,Angelo and Michelle are the GOATS! PERIOD! They have exceptional customer service skills. They went above and beyond to make sure I was not only satisfied with my drink, but that I loved it.

“Absolute best thing in the mall . Never a disappointed. The service is always nice . The located right near the theater. No matter the flavor your choice of ice cream is available and I love that . Definitely would recommend getting a scoop if ever in the mall . The place is clean and such a delight .“

“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 have been eating coconut flavored ice creams for over 30 years. Kilwins has a toasted coconut with chocolate bits that is absolutely the best. Their scoops are overzized also
Staff was especially pleasant
Cannot wait until I am in the area again
Whatever our next party is we we get one of their ice cream cakes as they look equally delicious
WELL DONE“

“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!“

“Real good ice cream. At first I passed on the flavor selections, but a few weeks later the choices were more interesting.

Black Cherry Chip -gooooood

Easy access and never a line. It is a micro storefront so don't miss it on your way to the restroom.

Friendly and very polite service.

Parking is a challenge some days. Today was a breeze.“

“The BEST sandwich spot around!! ? Family Owned/operated, Kind Prices, Friendly Service, GREAT Food n Dessert! Been going here for 30-some years ever since before I can remember ❤ WE LOVE YOU, DUCHESS!

Vegetarian options: They'll make an extra cheese sammy (no meat) with extra let/tomato if you ask nicely ? SO GOOD!“

“Stopped by for a late outdoor dinner. Ordered at the window and staff was amazing and friendly. Amira was especially friendly. We were devastated you ran out of cotton candy ice cream, but we still had a great night with great service.“

“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.“

“Delish and huge portions!“

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Bruster's Real Ice Cream in Odenton, MD, to enhance their security measures. The team at Bruster's was wonderful to work with, and the project went smoothly from start to finish.

We appreciate the cooperation and professionalism of Bruster's Real Ice Cream, making this project a success. If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on their delicious ice cream!“

“excelente sabor para disfrutar en tiempo caliente“

“Great chicken salad sandwich! One sandwich was enough for two meals, thanks and keep up the great work!“

“Rita's is my favorite ice cream parlor simply because of their soft serve options! I'm not a big fan of the regular scooped ice cream and much more prefer softer ice cream and foods in general.
My favorite thing there by far is the cookies and cream Gelati! I also love the Choclate - Vanilla - Twist cone (on a cake cone) with rainbow sprinkles! If I'm down for it, every once in a while, I will get the Swedish fish Gelati that has a nice sweet tang to it, and mixed with the frozen creamy custard , it's so perfect!

Now, so far with staff I hadn't had any issues with. According to a lot of other reviews on here, people are saying the staff and customer service are terrible. Most of the time, especially during summer seasons, it's just high schoolers finding a summer job there, and they're pretty friendly to me!

That's all for now, though. I would highly recommend this place, definitely a 10/10!!!!“

“Rita's in Linthicum are always will to give back to the community. In the past they have donated for Vacation Bible School at Friendship Church of the Brethern and today they donated very generously for our upcoming silent auction. Very personal and friendly place to go.“

“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“

“Quite an EXPERIENCE,
tight inside when placing your order, the amount of food on my order was adequate,we at outside at a picnic table the have around the back of the restaurant.

Parking: Limited in front of the restaurant, but in the rear plenty.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes ,but not recommended, when ordering“

“We had our sons 6th birthday party their this past weekend. What a fantastic place to have a party. The staff was very helpful in setting up the event. They were very patient with us despite us being very late in responding to emails.The day of the party was great. They had a long table in the back with bleachers set aside and a side table for food. We were able to arrive 30 minutes before the party to decorate. The staff was very friendly and helped us with everything we needed.The kids loved the party. They did a scavenger hunt around the place to get little trinkets for goodie bags. Then they did a craft where they made ice cream cone pictures. Finally was the tour. As others have said, walking through the freezer was the highlight of the tour.Then it was ice cream time. Everyone got their own choice of flavor. And they brought all the bowls out to us, which was completely unexpected!Parking at the place is tough as there is a small parking lot, and there are a bunch of popular businesses at the Union Collective. My only negative is they didn't have the flavor Ice Cream Sando. But I'll let them pass on that one.“

“For as expensive as it can be to order food for a family from here, we do expect warm and fresh food. our food was barely room tempature and definitely old fries. The ice cream had hair in it. This place has gone down hill fast. Would not recommend.“

“Love this place! The crepes and all ingredients are fresh and prepared well. Always fast and friendly. Never a bad experience!“

“Take my friend there almost every Saturday. There ice cream is the best and the staff is about as nice as it gets. These young people are so friendly and respectful. I highly recommend their ice cream !

Parking: Love this place but the parking on the hill is fine if dry . After a rain it's messy/ muddy. Please do something about the parking and the restroom situation not good“

“They have never disappointed! Been visiting since the 90’s! Yeah, they are that good!

Dietary restrictions: Delicious Sugar-free options

Parking: Large lot, picnic tables behind secure fence for safety.

Kid-friendliness: I’ve loved it since I was a kid, so I’d say it’s definitely kid-friendly.“

“Loved the experience! So pretty inside and ordered a cake on short notice and they gladly accepted. The icing and the cake in general was delicious. Not so sweet but still really good. Only down size is that they do not do fondant. Reasonable price as well.“

“huge variety, helpful friendly staff, yummy“

“My son spotted out this place and Lord knows that yesterday I was craving an EGG CUSTARD SNOWBALL W MARSHMALLOW BUT FINALLY I FOUND A GOOD STAND TODAY! PRICE WAS GOOD TOO! The only downside NOT MUCH OF A WORRY was that they don’t accept cards or cash. ONLY CASH APP. But other than that I will be going back many more times again this summer! Thanks again SNOBALL SUMMER ?“
