16 Best Ice Cream Shops near Manchester

“Best snowballs in Maryland“

“Stop at Chard BBQ first and save half your meal for later. You definitely want to save room for dessert at the Bus Stop. They have so many options from snow balks, to scoops of ice cream to sundaes to decadent milkshakes. Here is my 82 year old mother who decided it was a double dessert day. She had a scoop of peanut butter and caramel ice cream and an egg custard snow ball.

I highly recommend a drive out. There is also a nursery and local market on site.

Kid-friendliness: Outside picnic tables and bathrooms. Along with all sizes to order.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible.“

“Best snowballs in the county!“

“We’ve been coming to visit since it opened! We love Mr. Fred and his great crew.“

“Such an awesome nostalgic ice cream shop. Best ice cream around.. truly home made ice cream.. Peach is my favorite! This little shop hasn't been around for over 100 years for nothing! Try their ice cream if you haven't yet! You won't regret it!“

“Hoffman's is an awesome place. Staff is extremely friendly and professional. ice cream is high quality and portions are ample.

Parking: At location. Plenty of spaces

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible!“

“Love the ice cream and unique flavors“

“They need a jukebox or to turn up their music. Everything about the experience was terrific and I have been going there since I was in Middle School for over 50 years. The food is terrific and the service staff is very friendly. But it is so tomb like in the diner that you can hear other people chewing. It used to be like Mel's diner from happy days when I was a kid. Now it is way too quiet.“

“best soft serve ice cream in the area! raspberry is to die for- so smooth and delicious!“

“The Meadow Creek Rita’s in Westminster is best Rita’s I’ve ever been to. I have to give credit to the staff especially! We visit just about every Tuesday & Thursday afternoon. Every visit the staff is very welcoming and kind to me and my toddler son (who can be very indecisive on his ice flavor lol) Keep being awesome guys! It’s nice to have good customer service for once !“

“Love the ice cream and staff!!“

“First time going to the cow a few weeks ago. To start, they have doors which make it look like they have indoor seating which they don’t. They also charge your card a fee no matter what price the bill is. Ice cream small dish comes in a small plastic cup almost like a Dixie cup just a tad bigger. Ice cream had a good flavor. For one scoop and sprinkles it was around 4.00. It would be nice if you could sit inside especially when it’s so hot“

“Very nice people who run this store. My grandson and I really enjoyed our Blizzards!“

“Neat place. Good frozen yogurt and also non-dairy options. Delicious flavor options and combos, and you get to dress it up with all the toppings you wish from the toppings bar. Another perk is that as far as dessert and treat options go, this is a marginally healthier option (they even offer fresh fruits and various nuts etc to top it all off with).Good food. Good peeps. GOOD Mission.“

“Great local store. This Cold Stone is very clean and friendly staff. This location does get busy at times and the employees do a great job of providing quick service. The ice cream is always delicious and the cups are always full. Highly recommend this location for anyone looking for some delicious ice cream.“

“we stopped Sunday evening for dinner, very busy but the wait wasn't long at all! And Griffin the host was the best!! keep up the good work Griffin, food was absolutely delicious as well! 5 stars from me!“
