Love love love Tia's Italian ice! Every flavor taste exactly how it's described. I recently enjoyed a gelati, vanilla custard with the charm city Italian ice. The combo was perfection and I devoured it! Service was very friendly and fast. It's a cute little shop that feels very community oriented and cozy. Perfect place for a sweet treat. read more

What's not to love about Tia's? The service is always great, the prices make sense, and the variety of menu items allows everyone to find something that they would enjoy. Most importantly, the Italian ice is delicious! My go to is the 4th of July ice which is like eating a bomb pop. There is always a line and that should tell you that they are a pretty popular place and definitely worth the hype. I love this Black-owned business and will definitely keep visiting and supporting throughout the summer. read more

I could have sworn I saw tears in his eyes when he took that first bite I ordered the Tia's special since the server said it was a popular choice, and he was right!

On a rough day, nothing can soothe you like a sweet treat! As someone who grew up close to Philly... I LOVE Italian Ice or as we say waddahice! My love said: rough day? Let's go try Tia's and that we did. Great and friendly service. There were so many options, but I'm a firm believer that you have to check on the classics before anything else. These did not disappoint as we roamed the neighborhood with red mouths and big smiles. So excited to go back and try more flavors. read more

tia's is one of my favorite places for a refreshing treat. their italian ice is next-level and i love that they have soft serve too. a mango gelati with vanilla soft serve is the only way to salvage a bad day. my friends and i are obsessed with this place to the point where they will refuse to go to any other ice cream shop or italian ice place if tia's is open. their flavor blends are amazing, our favorite is the gold coast. don't discount their food too! the jamaican beef patties and dogs are great quick sustenance. the workers are super nice and personable. it is overall a wonderful experience. the only downside is that they close during the winter because i would go here year round! read more

Lovely experience. Omg how do they have Jamaican meat patty's and Italian ice? One of the best combos. Both were amazing. The italian ice was very flavorful and did not melt too fast in this 100 degree weather. The Jamaican meat patty had the perfect consistency. I'm definitely coming back. This place is in the perfect spot. They are very friendly and the service was excellent. The decor was simple. There is a little bench in there if you would like to have a seat. And a bit more seating in the window. I'm always coming back here. read more

We have been enjoying a weekly treat at Tia's for a few months. The owners are great and are always friendly. Even when the line is long, it moves fast. I always get a gelati with mango, peach and tangerine Italian ice. It reminds me of an orange creamsicle. My partner mixes different flavors every week and I always taste his concoction. I've enjoyed every flavor except for pistachio and coconut. It's Hampden so parking is always interesting. We have never had to park extremely far but we usually go during the week. read more

LOVE IT!! I was thrilled to try Tia's after seeing them listed as a black-owned business on the Ave in Hampden. We stopped in one evening and the hardest thing was deciding what to get - Italian ice, soft serve, hard / scooped, banana boats.... everything looked amazing. We settled on a gelato (strawberry lemonade + vanilla softserve) and a scoop of strawberry icecream. We were fans of both! The smallest size was still plenty (they don't skimp!) and the prices were much better than going up to Ritas at the Rotunda! On top of all the options, it being tasty, and being locally owned --- they were wonderfully welcoming! The staff was super friendly and helpful with our questions. Love this place! read more

What a great little find along the streets of Hampden. This is exactly what we were craving. On a nice summer day, Tia's will absolutely hit the spot! These Italian ices are hand scooped and I felt like the ratio of flavors were perfect. We both ordered mediums and the amount that they give you is phenomenal! I could barely finish my entire gelato. Their combinations are pretty unique. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the pistachio flavor but it did not disappoint at all. The gelato had a great consistency to it and was not overly sweet. It helped to balance out the tartness in the ice. Tia's doesn't just sell Italian ice, they also have food options as well. The perfect kind that will fit in your hands as you walk the streets exploring. I did not get the staffs name but they were extremely kind and you could see how happy they were to share this experience. Even with masks on, you could see the smile in their eyes. Will for sure be back. Support local! read more

My friend and I popped in and were not only excited to find a way to cool off but were also thrilled to learn it was black owned. The couple working was super friendly and gave us recommendations on their favorites and gave us time to try a few samples. I got the pineapple and mango Italian ice which was delicious and my friend tried one of their special mixes. We both were more than satisfied with the treats.

First time walking into the former and dearly missed Spro Café and into a new ices and dessert place. Need to try any of the ices and other dessert items next time. But was really wanting me some soft-serve, so got my traditional vanilla-chocolate mix--but forgot to get the colored jimmies (or rainbow sprinkles for certain of you)! Anyhow, the dessert was delish and even got a painful brain freeze from eating too fast. The servers were quite upbeat and even game for a pic with my cone. I'll be back! read more

I was looking for a little self satisfaction. I can't remember where I saw the advertisement but, I looked up address and made sure to save it. I called earlier today to see if they were open and the answer was YES. I decided to pop in. Parking was metered. Not to bad finding a spot I guess because of the holiday. It's a pretty small and clean place. Only had two people in front of me. I chose to get the reggae Italian ice and a cup of vanilla soft serve. The prices were pretty reasonable. Service was quick and friendly. I couldn't wait to get in my car to taste it. It was so good and the flavors were rich. I don't think I will be wanting Italian ice from any other place. It was simply delicious and went so well with my vanilla soft serve. read more

We were immediately greeted by this kind owner. The customer service was great. I ordered the rainbow flavor and it was delicious. I also bought the pretzel but I wasn't as impressed. It was just ok but that water ice was so good. I would definitely return here over and over for the ice (plus it's Black owned). FYI there isn't really a sitting area inside the shop but there are a few chairs in front of the store. You could also visit plenty of places nearby as you enjoy your treat while walking. There is metered parking on the street which can get crowded at times. Overall, 5/5 for the ice/customer service and 3/5 for the pretzel. read more

We got here shortly before closing, and there was a long line at the self-checkout kiosk, but that was mostly due to people taking a while to figure out what they wanted to order. It also took some time for our crepe to be ready, but that mostly seemed to be the result of the store being understaffed and getting slammed shortly before closing.

The ice cream was also yummy. The night we came it seems to be a little slower than usually but that's probably because there were so many people. The shop looks so cute and quaint but there are a lot of dirty tables. Other than I think it's probably because it was just a bad night. Everything was good regardless

I also prefer stuffed doughnuts (like a good Boston cream, etc) but they don't have many options for those. Instead it seems they prefer to put a dollop of the cream in the hole on top.

They're good and I love the variety but I've had better doughnuts.

Matriarch Coffee lived up to every bit of the hype -- and then some…read more I'd been hearing about Matriarch Coffee for a while from friends near me in the DMV, and I finally made the drive up to Baltimore to see what all the hype was about. Short answer: absolutely worth it!Long answer: I'm already thinking about my next excuse to come back. Walking in, the space immediately delivers. The aesthetic is awesome-- the kind of intentional, beautifully designed interior that feels warm and curated rather than staged. It's trendy without being cold, and the Inner Harbor location makes it that much more special. I know there is a huge renovation planned "down the harbor" , this Matriarch is ALREADY READY! You get all the energy of the waterfront with a cozy, tucked-in feel once you're inside. Now, the coffee. I got a latte that was genuinely one of the better cups I've had in a long time -- smooth, rich, perfectly pulled. I also had a Chai and paired it with a cherry & cheese danish that was fresh and delicious, the ideal complement to the drink. I asked for it heated and it was hot all the way through. Hate it when I get it and it is cold in the middle...the barista understood the assignment and got us right! Everything felt thoughtful, like someone in that kitchen actually cares about what they're putting out -- because they do. Speaking of which -- I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, and it all made sense. Warm, passionate, and clearly proud of what they've built. Shirts, cups, napkins, and merch that says "I love my Matriarch" is a reminder of the "Why" behind this spot I think. That kind of energy flows through the entire space and staff. You feel it the moment you walk in. The Matriarch isn't just a coffee shop. It's a destination. If you're in Baltimore, this is a must. If you're outside the city -- make the drive. Trust me. See you soon, Matriarch!

My first time in was after calling to see if they had gift cards, went without an answer . So I went there and nope. Waisted my time going there.

Tia's is an absolute gem tucked away on the avenue. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with an overwhelming aroma of sweetness and a menu that could make anyone's mouth water. The variety is astounding - Italian ice, ice cream, sundaes, you name it, they've got it. Each flavor is crafted with precision and care, delivering a burst of refreshing goodness with every spoonful. While the shop may be small with no indoor seating, it adds to the charm of the experience. There's something special about strolling along the avenue, soaking in the sunshine, and indulging in Tia's delightful treats. With its expansive menu and perfect outdoor ambiance, Tia's is destined to become a Baltimore summer staple. 5 stars without a doubt! read more

They make small-batch handcrafted ice cream in classic as well as unique premium flavors like ube, strawberry matcha, red bean almond cookie, peanut butter mala, banana bourbon caramel, brown sugar boba, just to give you an idea of the creativity. We took the tasting menu approach and went for an ice cream flight of 5 mini scoops: creamy texture, distinct flavors, and the sweet staffer let us sample several before choosing. The home-spun donuts looked yummers, but bummer they weren't available when we went. Hot tip: grab a scoop or two and walk a block to the harborfront for a free view upgrade.

I can't recall what they were, but the contributing flavors came through. The blend we had was tasty. Unfortunatly that day had no a/c working,along with that there were no donuts. The machine that made them was shut down due to it not being cost effective. A return trip maybe coming up.

They can also make any flavors into floats and milkshakes but I already personally ordered two ice cream so I didn't get those.
