    Nice ice cream sandwich treats
    Shanel J.

    On a day of dilly dallying, my friends and I stopped by Always ice cream. Seemed like a cute little shop. I ordered one scoop of cookies and cream in a cup. I like my cookies and cream to be kinda chunky with actual cookie pieces. There wasn't any actual chunks of cookie. Just cookie crumbs blended into vanilla. Not terrible, just not my preference. They also had nice looking ice cream sandwich options but I wasn't in the mood for that much ice cream lol. Might try those next time tho

    Love this ice cream! I first tried the Banana Pudding and Vanilla Wafers flavor awhile back and got hooked on that so I haven't been able to venture out and try as many new one flavors as I'd like because I keep coming back to the Banana pudding. We did try the funfetti cheesecake which was good. But that banana pudding is just 10 out of 10 amazing! The vanilla wafers add such a great taste.

    Came here with a big group of 14 and was helped by one of staff member. They never lost their cool and answered all our questions and filled our orders! It was really good and wishing I could go back over and over! It was clean and yummy! Everything looked so good it was hard to pick one thing!

    Cute ice cream shop located in cross keys. Plenty of outdoor seating. The inside is cute and has a decent amount of seating. They have a lot of different fun flavors of ice cream to choose from. The ladies who work there were friendly and accommodating. I recommend checking them out on a nice day!

    I love Always Ice Cream! This is my new go to spot for ice cream. It does get crowded, and now with the new restaurant next to it, parking sucks but it's worth it. The staff is always kind and they work efficiently so the line moves pretty fast.

    Do Yourself a Favor and Go! It was a Monday, and after a decent workday, an orthodontist appointment, and a stressful family visit, I needed a pick-me-up. Instead of going home to sulk, I decided to GET THE ICE CREAM! My coworkers had mentioned a new shop nearby, and sure enough, it was one I'd already been eyeing. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Daylee & Jasmine, who radiated warm, inviting energy. Great customer service is always a win for me, but especially at an ice cream shop! It's supposed to feel like a sweet escape from life's chaos, and they nailed it. The "FLAVAS" (yes, that's what they call them!) were creative and fun, alongside some classics. Daylee let me taste all the ones that caught my eye before I made my final pick: Banana Pudding with Wafers, topped with fresh bananas, wet nuts, caramel, and chocolate sprinkles. It was exactly what I needed to turn my night around. Honestly, that was dinner, and I have no regrets. The vibe inside is funky, colorful, and spacious, with both indoor and outdoor seating. They even sell merch! I grabbed a sticker and signed up for the rewards program because I will be back. Hopefully Daylee & Jasmine are there next time!!! They were not only kind but also gave me the inside scoop (no pun intended ) on the brand, the other locations, and even offered an honest (and hilarious) opinion about one particular flavor that made me think, "Why???" (You'll just have to try it yourself to see what I mean.) Bottom line: this place is a gem. Go check them out & tell them MeMe sent you!

    Great service, great ice cream. Interesting flavors like lemon poppy, and some vegan options too.

    The choices are elite.

    Run here now. Try all the ice cream but if you had to chose, pistachio. Friendly scoopers and a fun environment.

    This was my second time here. I love that they have dairy free items. They always let me try new flavors which I really appreciate. Great customer service and good outside seating.

    Went during their happy hour, so I got this beauty at a discount. Cute place, very clean. Cashier was super informative and attentive. The cone was great! Didn't melt right away bc the shell was perfection.

    Yelp event participant! Quaint and cute little shop, easy to find, and surrounded by other great options at the Village of Cross Keys. This shop with its charm offers unique ice cream "flavas" (as they call it), you don't usually see. I typically stick to my favorite choices, but this time I decided to try something different and went with the "Brown Butter Walnut." I really enjoyed it; the rich flava was rich and packed with walnuts and brown butter. The two scoopers were friendly, helpful, and professional. I'm excited to come back and try more flavas when it gets warmer.

    IThis ice cream shop deserves more than 5 stars. I stumbled upon it while in the neighborhood for official business and was immediately impressed. Upon entering, I was greeted by a refreshing new business smell, which set a positive tone. Two cheerful employees warmly welcomed me. I decided to be adventurous and asked the young lady to choose three flavors for me to try--and I ended up loving all three! The shop offers both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a convenient spot to relax. Parking was easy, and the staff remained extremely friendly throughout my visit. I highly recommend this ice cream shop and can't wait to return soon

    Vegan Mango
    Jamal B.

    Walked into a super warm welcoming from the two very helpful young Women working. I let them know I can't do anything dairy & asked them to recommend one of the 6 Vegan/Dairy free options. They both gave a resounding thumbs up for the Vegan Mango & that's what I went with. I'm soooo glad they suggested this flavor because it tasted Awesome! I'll definitely be back to try the other Vegan/Dairy free offerings.

    Locally owned, cutest shop and the best ice cream in town!!! From the minute you walk in and smell…read morethe amazing waffle cones, to the friendly welcoming staff and see all the unique flavors, you know you've come to the right place. The rich and creamy amazing flavors always stand out, as do the several vegan flavors they always have on hand!! You are always welcomed to taste test lots of flavors!! They do get crowded on weekends and holidays, but soooo worth the wait. Nowhere really to sit, so walk around and explore the great shops and sites of Hampden. Can also get pints to go, and definitely don't want to miss their famous flavor Maryland Mud!!!! There are a lot of iconic Baltimore names for their flavors!!!!

    Summer is almost here, which means it's officially ice cream season. After walking around and…read moreshopping, I needed a little pick-me-up and stopped by The Charmery. Super cute spot, clean, inviting, and with a great variety of flavors. Alex recommended the Maryland Mud and roasted strawberry, and both were absolutely delicious. Honestly, ice cream this good doesn't even need toppings. Pair it with a waffle cone, and it's the perfect combo. Street parking is available, but it can get pretty busy on the weekends. Don't be afraid to park a little farther away, it's worth the walk. Take your time walking to the shops around and then treat yourself to some ice cream at The Charmery. Good lord, I almost forgot about the red velvet cookie. Don't leave without getting one.
