Love this ice cream! I first tried the Banana Pudding and Vanilla Wafers flavor awhile back and got hooked on that so I haven't been able to venture out and try as many new one flavors as I'd like because I keep coming back to the Banana pudding. We did try the funfetti cheesecake which was good. But that banana pudding is just 10 out of 10 amazing! The vanilla wafers add such a great taste. read more

On a day of dilly dallying, my friends and I stopped by Always ice cream. Seemed like a cute little shop. I ordered one scoop of cookies and cream in a cup. I like my cookies and cream to be kinda chunky with actual cookie pieces. There wasn't any actual chunks of cookie. Just cookie crumbs blended into vanilla. Not terrible, just not my preference. They also had nice looking ice cream sandwich options but I wasn't in the mood for that much ice cream lol. Might try those next time tho read more

Do Yourself a Favor and Go! It was a Monday, and after a decent workday, an orthodontist appointment, and a stressful family visit, I needed a pick-me-up. Instead of going home to sulk, I decided to GET THE ICE CREAM! My coworkers had mentioned a new shop nearby, and sure enough, it was one I'd already been eyeing. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Daylee & Jasmine, who radiated warm, inviting energy. Great customer service is always a win for me, but especially at an ice cream shop! It's supposed to feel like a sweet escape from life's chaos, and they nailed it. The "FLAVAS" (yes, that's what they call them!) were creative and fun, alongside some classics. Daylee let me taste all the ones that caught my eye before I made my final pick: Banana Pudding with Wafers, topped with fresh bananas, wet nuts, caramel, and chocolate sprinkles. It was exactly what I needed to turn my night around. Honestly, that was dinner, and I have no regrets. The vibe inside is funky, colorful, and spacious, with both indoor and outdoor seating. They even sell merch! I grabbed a sticker and signed up for the rewards program because I will be back. Hopefully Daylee & Jasmine are there next time!!! They were not only kind but also gave me the inside scoop (no pun intended ) on the brand, the other locations, and even offered an honest (and hilarious) opinion about one particular flavor that made me think, "Why???" (You'll just have to try it yourself to see what I mean.) Bottom line: this place is a gem. Go check them out & tell them MeMe sent you! read more

Yelp event participant! Quaint and cute little shop, easy to find, and surrounded by other great options at the Village of Cross Keys. This shop with its charm offers unique ice cream "flavas" (as they call it), you don't usually see. I typically stick to my favorite choices, but this time I decided to try something different and went with the "Brown Butter Walnut." I really enjoyed it; the rich flava was rich and packed with walnuts and brown butter. The two scoopers were friendly, helpful, and professional. I'm excited to come back and try more flavas when it gets warmer. read more

Walked into a super warm welcoming from the two very helpful young Women working. I let them know I can't do anything dairy & asked them to recommend one of the 6 Vegan/Dairy free options. They both gave a resounding thumbs up for the Vegan Mango & that's what I went with. I'm soooo glad they suggested this flavor because it tasted Awesome! I'll definitely be back to try the other Vegan/Dairy free offerings. read more

IThis ice cream shop deserves more than 5 stars. I stumbled upon it while in the neighborhood for official business and was immediately impressed. Upon entering, I was greeted by a refreshing new business smell, which set a positive tone. Two cheerful employees warmly welcomed me. I decided to be adventurous and asked the young lady to choose three flavors for me to try--and I ended up loving all three! The shop offers both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a convenient spot to relax. Parking was easy, and the staff remained extremely friendly throughout my visit. I highly recommend this ice cream shop and can't wait to return soon read more

Delicious ice cream! I love being able to sample the different creative flavors. I can't get enough of the brownie one! The staff are always so friendly encouraging you to try different flavors and mix them up. I can't wait to come back for a milkshake especially as it starts warming up and you can sit outside. I was told someone has mixed 4 different ice cream flavors for their milkshake--sounds like a treat! read more

Tried this new ice cream place for the first time. My daughter got the leprechaun bait and I got the peanut butter oreo. Leprechaun bait has a vanilla base with all kinds of stuff like cookie dough, chex mix and M&Ms. The place is nice with a few tables and they let you taste before ordering. Both flavors were very good. I would call this a very solid ice cream option. read more

5-stars! I went by opening day. Lots of happy patrons enjoying their fresh scoops. I went in with the intention of ordering a shake, but ordered a double in a cup. Let's start with scoop size - gigantic! Well worth it. Sprinkles? Oh, no charge (incredible!) Both flavors stood out. Black berry and peanut butter oreo. My favorite of the two was the peanut butter oreo. I recommend at least trying the flavor before you make a final flavor decision. Staff were very friendly and the line moved quickly. The shop was offering sample flavors to patrons regardless of the line. No one felt rushed and everyone was smiling. This gave me plenty of time to consider the menu and make a decision. They also have a cold case with pre packaged ice cream and cakes. The cakes look delicious. There's seating both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Best. Ice cream. In. Bmore. Period. (So sorry to the classics, but the newly opened Always Ice Cream has quickly made it to the TOP of my best list.) I loveeee chunky ice cream and this spot is legitimately my dream ice cream place--with constant new flavors + some tried and trues, Always Ice Cream is perfect for people who love chunky ice cream like me! So far I've tried their coffee brownie, cookie butter, and chocolate brownie flavors and all of them were 10000/10. Everything is freshly mixed and you get giant chunks of the mix-ins, which is my fav part. If I could try every flavor, I would. (I just might this summer). Always has my heart! read more

A very cute ice cream shop located in the up and coming cross keys area! I dropped in for "a little something sweet" after dinner on a Wednesday night and there was a nice crowd.

Came here for dessert after dinner at Cece's! Nice, clean ice cream shop. Good variety in flavors. The staff were very nice, good service. Everything was clean.

Would recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Ordered the coffee and chocolate brownie batter flavor and it was 100% on target. I've had ice cream around the country and this is by far one of the best I've had. Folks rave about Jenni's and Millie's but they have nothing on this place. The flavor was spot on and rich, not overly sweet (like Millie's). Service was fast and friendly. Store was clean and well kept. Will be returning in the future. Keep up the good work, team! read more

I stopped by Always today with some friends after brunch. We tried several of the flavors before making our choices and found several of the flavors to be a little artificial tasting. (For example, I love pistachio ice cream and gelato, but not when it's bright green and artificial tasting in addition to artificially colored.) I chose a kiddie cup of their lemon poppy seed, which I enjoyed, but overall, we didn't love the flavor options or artificial flavoring of some of them. Baltimore has some tough ice cream competition. Always isn't bad, it just isn't as good as some other ice cream shops in the city. I wouldn't mind stopping by again but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

I was in the area for brunch and stopped by because I was craving something sweet. Immediately upon entering the shop, my friends and I were greeted by staff members. We were encouraged to sample the flavors, and I tried both the Butterfinger and the Funfetti Cheesecake. Ultimately I opted for the latter and enjoyed a single scoop of the ice cream in some of the shaded seating they offer outside. Portion sizes were large and prices were very affordable. Just what I needed on a hot summer day. I would definitely go back! read more

I'm not really an ice cream person but this definitely did what I needed it to do when I had a hankering for ice cream. I love that AIC makes quality their priority. They are mixing in the freshest ingredients and top tier toppings into their batters. They do not cut corners at all. When they say brownies in the batter that's what you're getting. Like they are baking the brownies or cookies in the back then putting the entire batch of cookies or pan of brownies in the ice cream. They are not chopping things in the back to finite unrecognizable pieces then throwing it in the batter. You can taste every type of topping mixed into every bite. On beautiful days, it can get crowded here with the line out the door but they don't seem to run out of "flavas." Also despite the crowds, the staff remained high spirited and patient. You can also sample any flavors you might be curious or on the fence about. Cheers to a great time! read more

I found out about this place through a friend. I love ice cream. I pulled up in the parking lot and it was just about full. Everyone wasn't in the ice cream shop but, there was a crowd on the inside of the shop. The flavors they offered were much different than other shops. They offered flavors like, Butterfingers, key lime, lemon cheesecake, banana pudding and uncrustables just to name a few. The staff was upbeat, friendly and patient. I decided to try uncrustables which tasted like peanut butter and jelly. Not sure I would want an entire cup but it was tasty. I opted to get a single scoop of banana pudding ice cream. A single size scoop is more like a double. Let me tell you...I enjoyed my ice cream until the last spoonful. It was rich in flavor. If I was not a diabetic I would have grabbed some to take home with me. I can't wait to treat myself to more ice cream. Maybe in a few weeks. This place is definitely thumbs up for me. read more

I can't to go back! The staff that work here are so friendly! We brought our 2 dogs with us, and so my girlfriend stayed outside with the dogs while I went in to order. When I walked in, they asked does your pup want a pup cup? And I said yes. And then they asked whipped cream or sweet cream. They also said, that dogs were allowed to come in. That whole interaction warmed my heart. I had the cookie butter, my girlfriend had key lime pie, my daughter had mint chocolate chip and my other daughter got chocolate-vanilla soft swerve. Everything tasted delicious! And the prices were great! This is now my favorite ice cream place in the city. They have so many flavors and some unique, fun flavors. I also want to try one of their milkshakes. They have indoor seating and outdoor seating. Parking is also super convenient. read more

Amazing ice cream and great service. The chocolate fudge brownie was delicious with an ideal portion of fudge that exceeded expectations.

Real ice cream very flavorful, fresh and creamy. They even have vegan, who ever needs that.lol. the lemon biscoff was only superseded by the black cherry with real cherries in it. You wont go wrong topping it with brownie pieces. And sprinkles are free. Worth a trip. read more

Ice cream is delicious , staff is very friendly. The music playing is very offensive, could not wait to get outside.

Best ice cream around Baltimore, and this is coming from someone who lives within walking distance of another very popular ice cream place. I will happily drive 10 minutes to Always in Cross Keys. The staff are so nice and friendly and they have a great variety of flavors to choose from. Their chocolate brownies are insane. read more
