    Stopped by Always Ice Cream in Annapolis today and loved it! The service was fantastic, and I got to try a couple of flavors before deciding. I went with Cookie Monster and Dubai Chocolate, and the Dubai Chocolate (chocolate and pistachio) was amazing. If you're ever in Annapolis, definitely check this place out!

    Cute ice cream shop with a creative list of flavors. We ended up getting an ice cream cake which was delicious! They have special flavored ones like Cookie Monster and coffee Oreo but we went for a classic chocolate and vanilla with rainbow sprinkles. The ice cream was very tasty and the icing was nice and subtle.

    The cookies and cream is seriously the best I've had! It was delicious and so creamy. We also ordered the strawberry ice cream which was so good too. The employees were friendly and are very generous with their scoops. There's some tables inside and outside, but it was so hot the day we went we sat inside to avoid the ice cream melting so quickly. This will definitely be a reoccurring stop whenever we're in Annapolis!

    This little Ice Cream shop was such a delight to step into while we were staying near by. I love embarking on a trip with no real plans in store other than spending time with friends and family and enjoying whatever it is that unfolds. I had the rare opportunity to join my sister and nephew in Annapolis while my nephew attended swim camp at the U.S. Naval Academy, we stayed at an air bnb a few miles away and I happened to see this little shop on the way to the house! My dessert stomach and Ice Cream loving heart beckoned to be subdued by their sweet offerings. I asked my sis if we could get some ice cream before we picked up my nephew and of course she told me he wanted ice cream his first night there, the night before. So we stopped by and promised to take him there after picking him up. I ordered their creamy coffee ice cream with a chocolate oreo ice cream in a cup. Both were delicious! They even had T-shirts for purchase and pretty rad stickers too! I got a shirt for my nephew and my sis and I each got a shirt. I couldn't pass up a rad sticker for my nephew and boyfriend too. That night, my nephew enjoyed coffee and cotton candy. He was so happy we went there! The three of us enjoyed ice cream later on that week and though they were busy we managed to get a spot outside to enjoy it. I was so glad to see this little shop busy. They have a bunch of flavors they offer, even vegan ones!! If I happen to be in the area again I know where to go for delicious ice cream without having to drive into town!

    Best ice cream in the area! Staff is friendly and the menu is sooooo creative! We ordered the ice cream cake for my office birthday party and they were perfect!! Lots of options to choose from. This location is really convenient to go to. Always is best ice cream in town! Such a fun friendly vibe

    Yassssssssss ! I scream for ice cream !!

    "Dancing queennnnnnn young and sweet"... great music playing once you enter the shop. This place is a popular among the west Annapolians. If you're in the neighborhood and in the mood for a cold sweet, def head your way to here. Ice cream flavors are tasteful. I recommend the coffee flavor, fruity pebbles and the red velvet cheese cake . My children enjoyed the Cookie Monster.. which is a combo of oreo and cookie dough choco chips .. full of flavor, chewy, yummy and crunchy. My son loves the Cookie Monster as a milkshake. He highly recommends. There's cool merch available to purchase! Dog friendly. Service is always professional, no complaints . Always ice cream is walking distance from other cool shops. If you're looking for a cold treat, make your way to always ice cream.

    Not a bad scoop of ice cream. However, I felt like the flavor was just average not much better than what I've had from the store.

    Very good ice cream and yogurt literally just minutes from the busy of the downtown Annapolis ice cream shops and stores. This quiet quaint neighborhood ice cream parlor has limited options but they are the right options AND you can pick up a homemade ice cream sandwich, which I didn't have but will be back for. Tip: pick up a punch card after 10 purchases you get a scoop for free. AND one scoop is MASSIVE so don't go in with your "eyes bigger than your belly". As my grandma used to say.

    Cookie monster flavor... tasty! Just look at those delectable bits of cookie dough.
    Yasmine B.

    I was very pleased with the flavors and service here. I had the cookie monster, my daughter had the cake batter, and my husband had the oatmeal creme pie flavor. I loved my cookie monster flavor but the cake batter flavor?? OMG. It legit tastes like you're licking the cake batter off of a spoon. Whenever I go to Annapolis again, I'm definitely stopping by to try new flavors... P.S. the oatmeal creme pie tastes just like an actual oatmeal creme pie, but it just isn't my thing :). My husband enjoyed it and I had a small taste and it was good. If you're ever in Annapolis, I'd highly recommend you give them a try. Space is small but has a couple of seats inside as well as outside. There is also a restroom available for customers.

    I've always been a big fan of Annapolis ice cream. Heading over to here was great. I tried out the strawberry Nutella ice cream. One scoop was plenty. The cone was fresh.

Walk up counter service with multiple people behind the counter working. Had a couple scoops in a bowl after giving the line up a look. Butter pecan, and vanilla were my picks, a friend a long time ago told me the best judge of a creamery was to try their vanilla as there is no place to hide from the lack of quality if the ice cream makers skills arent up to par. Storm Bros knows how to make good ice cream period. The vanilla, rich, creamy vanilla bean flavor with good consistency and texture. It was very good. The butter pecan was on point as well, nice buttery pecan flavor with a good amount of pecans in the mix. This little shop offers more than just ice cream too, with a nice selection of baked items in the front case to go with your frozen treat. Frozen drinks, along with an assortment of frozen goods. All in all it was a good bowl of ice cream on a hot afternoon and worth the effort, wait online and monies spent. 4 Stars a solid choice and worth a visit and your support 01112

I'm hoping I can catch it again before the season changes and they moved on to some other cheesecake flavor. I'm pretty sure I was helped by the owner both times.

However, the chicken was breast meat and sliced thin, which made it come across as dry. I did tell the server I liked it and didn't go into much detail since she seemed very busy and I didn't want to add stress in the moment. Still, it's not something I would personally order again. The waffle situation was more frustrating. I initially received cornmeal waffles, but I had told my server ahead of time that I strongly avoid cornmeal. She said she would substitute them, so I was surprised when the plate came out with the original cornmeal waffles. I didn't realize at first and ended up taking a bite before noticing. I let the server know and she had the kitchen remake it. The replacement Belgian waffles were overcooked and dense, so they didn't really improve the experience. The butter though was genuinely delicious, just very rich and more of a holiday-style flavor than something I'd personally crave in warmer weather. I also had a basic cup of coffee made with Rise Up Coffee Roasters, which was $4.50. That felt overpriced for what it was. I could have walked right across the street and had a specialty coffee from the source for very little extra cost, which honestly would have been the better choice. Overall, the experience had some clear issues, especially with the waffle mix-up and consistency, but it wasn't completely disappointing. I just don't think I would personally order the same meal again.
