We made a pit stop at Queen City Creamery for ice cream (of course) before leaving the Cumberland…read morearea and heading back home. We were able to get street parking right on Baltimore Street. Queen City Creamery isn't just an ice cream shop ~ it's also got a cafe vibe, offering soups and other small sandwiches. There's ample seating inside and additional seating outside to enjoy the nice weather. People were sitting outside enjoying their scoops when we entered on a Sunday evening. We were able to sample different flavors to help make our decision. Service was quick and friendly. They have junior, single, double, and triple scoops. They also have a special flavor of the day. You can check their website for a calendar of the daily special flavor. I decided to get a junior scoop ($4) with half Butterfinger ice cream and half chocolate. They also have a smaller mini size, which the staff member advised was about the size of a golf ball. I like that they have such a small size, but I need more ice cream than that ;). The junior size was four ounces which was the perfect amount for me. The Butterfinger ice cream was quite sweet, but it is a candy-bar based ice cream, so what else would you expect. The ice cream was super creamy and delicious, and it doesn't break the bank. My friend got a chocolate milkshake (16 oz.) which was $6. Those milkshakes looked good! No complaints ~ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Service was quick!…read more Scoop to order ice cream and you pay at the counter. There was sitting inside and outside. There was also street parking along the store. I ordered a small scoop of basecamp coffee. It had a good texture and it wasn't grainy at all. It's a great sweet treat, but it is on the sweeter side. Overall, if you're in the area, I'd give it a try.

This ice cream and coffee shop is easy to miss situated in a corner between the biggest grocery…read morestore for miles and a large gift shop just across Rt 219 from Wisp Ski Resort. You do have multiple ice cream options in the McHenry and Deep Creek Lake area, but Bear Creek has a couple distinct advantages. First, it is open year around, something the ones lakeside are typically not. Second, it is not usually overrun with lines out the door as some of those lakeside ones are (and there is a time and place for those as the view overtop the lake is good fun as well). The selection of ice cream is more than ample and the prices don't break the bank like many tourist-centered locations can do. And over the course of at least five visits across multiple years, I have never experienced slow, grumpy, or impatient service. Any frustration here is likely to come from other patrons rather than those behind the counter. And fair enough, it is the first time visiting for the tourists who often make up the clientele. There can also be big intergenerational groups where getting all the orders organized in a timely manner can be a challenge. But honestly, hopefully you are on vacation as well so where do you really need to be? There are a few tables inside and out so take a load off if you need to. And enjoy that tasty jolt of sugar or caffeine!
