Absolutely love this place! Love their baked goods, especially the muffins! We had friends visit from Alaska and Cali and took them here to try the loux bagel cause they were craving one and they all enjoyed it! I love the variety of coffee latte flavors and bow it changes with the seasons! Such a cute cafe! Love the space upstairs and if you ever need a place to work or study! This is the one! Love supporting local. The ladies working the front are always so welcoming and nice even if I notice a little back n forth going on in the kitchen, that energy stays back there. I do love that I receive text coupons as well! Definitely recommend read more

Great coffee shop to dive in for an espresso. Even when they were about to close with 10 minutes left on the clock. I came in. They told me that food is not currently available but that's ok. I needed an espresso before the movie to keep me awake. The caffeine slinger got me set right and I was wide awake for the next two hours. The movie was not great but the coffee was excellent. read more

Excellent coffee! If you want to try a creative treat, this is your place. The setting is coffee shop. There's seating in two areas, and we didn't have trouble finding a spot. Service was quick and helpful. Why should you choose American Ice Co? Easy! Ohemgee, the flavors! While they have all the basics (including Vietnamese coffee, a personal fave), their seasonal menu is where it's at. I ordered the... I think it was called the Squirrel's Nuts or something like that. And that name was accurate. It was so nutty with various nutty flavors. I giggled when I took my first sip. I highly recommend stepping away from the chains to try this little spot. read more

I tried. I've tried so many times but the truth is American Ice Co just isn't worth it. The real problem are the owners, so rude. Oblivious to hospitality. Aggressive. On a recent business meeting there one of the owners was rudely and angrily shuffling tables about when she actually tried to grab mine and my partners table--as we were eating!--and swap it with another table. I had to politely ask they maybe do this after we were done, to which she replied "fine" and stormed away. Absolutely horrible customer care. Save yourself the trouble and find someplace else to eat or get coffee. This cafe is a disaster. read more

Terrific coffee and food, comfortable environment and super friendly staff. Great way to start your day.

Got pastries at Jeannie Bird and came here for coffee, since they had more options and better reviews. Got a cold brew, an iced chai, and a hot drip coffee. The drinks were just OK, and the service was very slow even though they weren't too busy. Would come back in a pinch, but it didn't stand out to me. read more

Awesome relaxed vibe, super friendly staff and great food are rounded out with a great coffee house. It looks tiny when you walk in, but there is seating on both sides when you walk in and upstairs. Some how it's sort of kid friendly while still being hip. Everything we got was good. read more

This is a cozy spot for coffee, breakfast or lunch. It has a limited menu but everything is freshly made and tastes fantastic. There are three small dining areas. It has a cozy vibe and is a hidden gem. read more

I had a work meeting at American Ice Co. Cafe this past week. The cafe is charming, cozy, and comfortable. And the staff were really friendly and helpful. My London Fog was good. I'd be happy to return and enjoy more at American Ice Co. Cafe in the future. read more

Great food every time I'm in there, the service is always super friendly and lovely. Drinks are on point and it's such a cute space! The upstairs is great for reading or studying read more

I have been going to American Ice Company (AIC) for over 3 years, but I have to make a special callout to Katelin and Africa for outstanding service. I stop by there almost every week and it is almost like being with family:) Both Katelin & Africa make my Cortado perfectly and I am very happy with the coffee:) I have lived all over the world and I am indeed a coffee snob, but I am very satisfied with my order at AIC every time. I will make it a point to get my coffee there every week! Thanks guys!! read more

Unique cafe with lunch offerings. They have milk tea and bobas are add-on for $3 each cup. The drinks were good but I though the honey dew was too sweet. I think there were 4 ice cream flavors available per scoop. There's a second level which seats more people but the view downstairs look better for picture-taking! Service was superb and quick! Would visit again if we were in the area. read more

Just stopped in for a latte. Very tasty, nice and hot, friendly barista. I'd go back for sure.

Only three stars because my Turtle Latte wasn't made with less sugar as requested. And my son's Thai Boba tea was mostly milk and the boba was hard and sticky. The baristas were kind and the Huz loved his Americano with Honey. They were closing early so we couldn't enjoy lunch or sit in the roaster area. I'd come back the back looked nice and cozy to sit, sip and read. read more

Long wait for one BLT, which was missing Tomato. Overpriced for lack luster food I could make at home.

Ive been coming here for years. Through some of my darkest days. And their employee has been there for me every time. Keeping this review short because of the waterworks, but i want everyone to know; Luke Dodge saved my life. also the food and ambiance is good. read more

Decent food. Glacial service. If you're in a hurry, go somewhere else. If you have time (potentially a looooonnng time), then hang out. Staff are friendly, food is solid-not-fancy, coffee is good. Really the only thing that keeps me from giving them more stars is the service. I can't adequately explain how slow they are. read more

I placed an order online simply for a bagel with cream cheese. I went and I picked up the order. The lady at the counter, handed it to me and said "have a great day" with no mention of the extreme disappointment i was about to experience. I said "thank you you too".I came home to enjoy my delicious bagel with cream cheese that I was really really really excited about except when I opened the box it was just a bagel, no cream cheese. Keep in mind I had to pay $1.50 or two dollars to add cream cheese and as a broke 23 year-old that kind of money goes a long way so I called them to ask how this could've happened and I just said "hey you know I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and just picked up my order. I have the bagel just no cream cheese" and the lady on the phone said "yeah sorry about that. We're out of cream cheese", like I was supposed to know that when I paid two extra dollars for it, they offered no compensation so now I'm just eating a bagel with butter on it from home. read more

Every time I come here I enjoy it. The coffee is good and so is the food. Even though the staffing seems to rotate often, they have all been fantastic to talk to (but, I force them to talk to me :). The atmosphere is quaint and historic, love it!! My go to locally read more

Basically the Same place as the Hershey restaurant- cute and small and your place for espresso style or latte style coffee. Easy street parking and walk trying to find this place. Went with the iced Vietnamese coffee and felt it was a good call. Kinda was like chocolate milk with some coffee in it. Would definitely head back for a cappuccino- was in a rush so didn't poke around much and look for pastries. Owner was nice and they have a loyalty card. read more

Nice craft coffee. Has live music and open mic nights. Good place to study for local students who need to get out. Half a mile walk from McDaniel college. read more

I love American Ice! From the coffee to the environment. I typically get only coffee but the times I've ordered food, amazing!

Cute place, but do NOT I repeat do NOT order avocado from them. On 2 separate occasions I spent $2 for 1/4 of an avocado, and not just any avocado, but a rock hard avocado that was not ripe yet. The workers here obviously do not know how to tell if an avocado is ready or not. Food is good but I will never make the expensive mistake of ordering anything with avocado again. BTW, birthday cake latte is amazing read more

So cute inside and amazing service! The latte was on point ! Coffee size was very satisfying, so try it when your in this town ! read more

Delicious lattes, panini's and wraps in a family friendly atmosphere! Roast Beef panini and a Ghirardelli mocha latte is a must have. They use the best and fresh ingredients. In talking to the barista, they use locally sourced organic ingredients. Service was fast and friendly. Inside seating was spacious with the upper level and free WiFi! Was able to study in the upper room while having a meal and coffee to keep me going. Definitely coming back in the spring/summer for a scoop of ice cream! Off menu tip: they offer milk steamers of any flavor for kids not drinking coffee. read more

This is a real cute coffee shop that has so much to offer including food and other goodies! I hosted a small work holiday gathering in their rentable conference room which has a private bathroom and kitchenette. I originally worked with the supervisor Angela to coordinate- she was lovely and very attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. We planned the concept of a hot chocolate bar with pastries, fruit and cheese and crackers- light fare. Many of my guests said it was the best hot chocolate they have had in a long time. The owners allowed me to decorate the room and they supplied food by special order they don't normally offer. Todd was especially helpful during the event. I loved to see was handicap access from the rear entrance. One thing that surprised me was the back patio where it appears there is a bar and entertainment area though it was winter during my party and too cold to use. I highly recommend using the conference room for a small get together- comfortable for under 10 people. This conference room I used was on the second floor, they also have a room on the ground level too Angela said they would consider renting as well. Great service, cute place, yummy food and drinks. Thank you AIC! read more

Friendly and charming place. Good coffee and much-better-than-expected breakfast sandwiches. We will definitely come back if we have the opportunity. read more

Good coffee, gps could not find the place but found it to be a nice cool hole in the wall kinda coffee shop!

Stopped by this new coffee place for the second time for breakfast. First visit both my wife and I had coffee and ham, cheese, and egg croissant. That was a great experience. Coffee was fresh and sandwiches were well made with two perfectly cooked eggs, as the menu states. This time I ordered the same thing but my wife opted for the quiche. Unfortunately, our experience was not the same. She described her quiche as mostly bread and my sandwich had one seriously over cooked egg, on a stale croissant. First visit our food was prepared by the owner and this time by new untrained or poorly trained employee with no enthusiasm. We'll likely give it another try but in a town with half a dozen similar choices, the new kid on the block needs to step up their game. read more

I can't wait to have an indoors lunch at this location. EVERYTHING that I have gotten through the carry out window has been excellent. I've tried every panini and the chicken curry salad so far. It looks pretty cool inside, although through the window for now. The staff person is also so full of personality ........ ordering is almost as fun as the food is good. I'll definitely be a return customer Such a cool place. read more

You must stop by this little gem and try the Chai latte and the Everything Bagel Sandwich with Bacon Egg & Cheese. You will not be disappointed! read more

Stopped for morning coffee and a bagel. I was warmly greeted and attended to by an attentive staff. They are still learning the ropes but this has the makings of a wonderful addition to downtown Westminster. My best observation was their amazingly large unisex bathroom which easily holds 8-10 people. I know this because approximately 8 of us sheltered in there when a tornado hit nearby. The place weathered the storm! American Ice Co Cafe: welcome to Westminster I'm glad you are here. read more

Such a great place to grab a tasty treat (especially breakfast and lunch), chat with friends, and find a quiet place to study!! A lot of great coffee/tea options :) Also a ton of different little nooks to sit, since they have several rooms to eat in. Super friendly service as well! read more

I'm a local and always try to support local business's. Saturday night our town had a Christmas parade and since we arrived early, decided to get some yummy hot chocolate on the chilly night from the American ice company cafe. It was our first time in and we were excited about trying something new and even took a menu so we could do business in the future. It was busy but not crazy busy (I think 3 other people were in there) we ordered our hot chocolate and waited and waited and waited. It took 20 minutes to get them. The parade was about to start and we walked back to our seats across the street and noticed that our drinks were terrible and didn't taste right. They forgot to add the chocolate! It was just warm milk and whipped topping. Yuck! I took all three drinks back and by then they were packed with people waiting for drinks and it took another 10 minutes to replace the drinks. This time they remembered the chocolate but forgot the hot part. It was cold and all three cups were only 1/2 to 3/4 full. Really disappointed and my wife and I decided it cost us $12 to realize we don't need to go back there for anything else. It's hot chocolate!!! Two ingredients HOT AND CHOCOLATE, oh well... read more
