Baltimore City Ice Cream

Charmery - Hampden

This quirky, family-owned ice cream shop is a warm and friendly place to enjoy your favorite treat. At this point, the Charmery has become an institution. The original shop is on 36th Street "The Avenue" in Hampden, and now there are other locations in Towson and Columbia. The factory is located inside the Union Collective. Try their ice cream, and you'll understand why we need more spots. Creative flavors are available at reasonable prices, and you can try them before you buy. We always try the weird flavors and pick something we can't get elsewhere.

Bmore Licks - Canton & Federal Hill

Located on the corner of Eastern Ave and S Milton Ave off of Pattterson Park, Bmore licks has outstanding soft serve and hard ice cream. There are over 100 flavors of soft serve, over 30 flavors of hard ice cream, milkshakes, and sundaes. You can find your classic ice cream flavors as well as more creative ones. The lemon gingersnap is my favorite! The are kid-friendly and dog-friendly offerings. There are also multiple non-dairy/vegan options! There is now a new location at 901 Light St. in Federal Hill. 

Taharka Brothers - Fell's Point, Remington, & Federal Hill

Tarharka Brothers is not only an amazing spot for ice cream, but a business dedicated to giving back to the community. It is operated by young adults from some of the rougher Baltimore City neighborhoods.  Traditional and fun flavors include honey graham and "Mintflix & Chillz." You can find Tarharka at three marketplaces in Baltimore- Broadway Market, Cross Street Market, and R. House. You can also support a good cause by purchasing some of their sweet merch!

Pitango Gelato - Fell's Point

For truly authentic Italian-style gelato and flavors, you must put Pitango on your list! You will be transported to a warm Mediterranean climate with the first taste of absolute bliss! In addition to the classic baccio (hazelnut and chocolate), nocciola (hazelnut), and stracciatella (vanilla chocolate chip), you can find delicious fruity and dairy-free sorbet. Pitango also serves perfect espresso. Put a shot over vanilla gelato for an affogato. Yum!

Moo Moo Cows - Federal Hill

Located at 926 Light St, Moo Moo Cows has all the comfort of homestyle sundaes and soooo many toppings! There are also dairy-free options. Try a fantastic freshly made waffle cone. In additon to ice cream, you can also get a savory hot dog or brat. Wow! It's a perfect spot to visit before or after going to an Orioles or Ravens game.
