Touted as "The Best Ice Cream in the Nation" in their Main Street window, I honestly could not resist, and I am so glad that we did, because...We Believe! It was sensational. Cool interior, fun items on the walls, and they back up their hype impeccably well. Thankful for staffer Monica, who was as great as their ice cream. She steered us to a pair of sensational options, Brown Butter Cookie Dough and Oreo Cheesecake! Phenomenal service, and even made a great lunch recommendation! I LOVE ice cream, and this was amazing. Wish I could visit again! read more

It's the "in" creamery on Main Street these days, but with 50 flavors, the ice cream can be hit or miss. HITS: Vanilla Brownie Batter. Coconut chocolate chip. MISS: Vanilla Heath Bar -- where's the Heath Bar? read more

We came across this spot while walking on Main Street and noticed a long queue. After waiting about 30 minutes, we ordered a double so we could try two flavors Nutella banana pudding and chocolate brownie batter. Both flavors were delicious, though the texture leaned a bit more flaky than creamy. read more

WOWOWOW - I scream, you scream, I scream for ice cream!! My friend recommended this place to check out in downtown Annapolis and it did NOT disappoint. We went after lunch for a treat and were greeted with cute plush penguins in the windows, several signs of best ice cream in the country (love me some accolades), and an extensive menu. I settled in a single scoop in a waffle cone, with salted caramel and peanut butter Oreo. Both were delicious - so so creamy and just the right amount of sweetness! I missed the signage but my MIL said the waffle cones were gluten free which was pretty cool! Almost considered going back in for another scoop on our way out of town - that good! read more

We visited here and enjoyed some fantastic ice cream, which happens to be my favorite food group. There were so many flavor choices that it was difficult to make a selection, but we all finally settled on 2 scoops in bowls for each of us. The shop is extremely cute and appears well maintained. Staff were welcoming and very patient while we settled on our choices. Loved the fun atmosphere and noise level was mild while we sat inside at a small cafe table to enjoy our bounty. Shop is near the picturesque waterfront if customers take their order to go for a walk in the area. read more

We returned here twice and there are other ice cream places close by, so that says a lot. Interesting flavors, all homemade (I think), everything we tried was delicious, prices were decent considering the area. Servers could have been more friendly. There is very limited seating inside, but it's a good place to walk down to the water while you enjoy your ice cream. read more

We were visiting from out of town on a sunny but chilled Sunday afternoon and needed a sweet treat. We read this place was homemade so we had to try it. It was so clean and staff was friendly and helpful. They had great and unique flavor ideas, the ice cream was rich and creamy. I only wish we stayed longer so I could try more. read more

A must stop in Annapolis! Delicious ice cream - there are so many flavors. It's been voted best ice cream for several years for a reason.

Such a cute ice cream shop that everyone raves about. It has rotating options and one of the midshipmen said they sometimes have an Old Bay flavor that I have to try. We got a shake which was delicious, thick, and creamy. I also got cookie butter ice cream in a waffle cone which was so rich and filling of cookie butter cookies. Amazing. read more

Less than $10 for 3 scoops in a chocolate dipped bowl! This store has the coolest flavors- you can try. There was one really odd one that tasted like it would if it wasn't ice cream- that was weird but cool that they achieved the flavor in ice cream. Fun times read more

Bad service. The young lady who took my order was curt. She rolled her eyes almost when I took my time to decide my ice cream flavor for the sundae. She chatted with one other young lady while making my sundae - upside down?! The fudge was at the bottom of the cup!! She then rushed me during checkout - didn't allow me to choose how I'd like to get the receipt. read more

Annapolis Ice Cream Company didn't just take over an ice cream shop. They staged a royal coup in the frozen dessert world and came out with the crown firmly on their heads. When they stepped in after "Penguin Ice Cream," the town's reaction ranged from cautious optimism to full-on "there's no way they can pull this off." Turns out, they not only pulled it off, they built an ice cream empire that is somehow both proud and humble, and absolutely deserving of the throne. First, the ice cream itself. It's so good you start to believe there's some secret back room where the staff personally brainstorm flavor ideas with the cows. I'm talking a full-on roundtable discussion, complete with feed bags and whiteboards, followed by feeding those cows the perfect blend of ingredients so the ice cream comes out "fresh from the tap." You can't prove me wrong. The flavors are rich, creamy, and downright addictive. Every scoop feels like a direct pipeline to a higher plane of happiness. And they don't skimp either. Scoops are generous enough that you may briefly wonder if you need a gym membership... or just another scoop. Then there's the staff. This is not your typical "I'm-just-here-for-the-paycheck" ice cream crew. These are people who actually seem to love being there. You can tell they're appreciated and respected by ownership, which is more than I can say for some other locally owned spots where the vibe is more "You're lucky we even unlocked the door." Here, every "What can I get for you?" comes with an actual smile, not the corporate-training-manual kind, but the genuine "I'm about to hand you joy in a cone" kind. Bottom line: Annapolis Ice Cream Company didn't just survive the post-penguin takeover. They leveled up. This is the gold standard. If ice cream was an Olympic sport, these folks would be standing on the podium with the national anthem playing and sprinkles falling from the sky. Five stars, two cones, and one very happy, very loyal customer. read more

The shop is located on main street of old town Annapolis. It's a pretty cool and lax place to get ice cream. There are plenty of flavors to pick from. The ice cream I had was a pumpkin cheesecake, it's super creamy! Definitely handcrafted small batch ice cream. The service was great and the interior is really nice. Id definitely recommend to stop by for some ice cream. Did I mention the kiddie size is huge?!? Like I wasn't even able to finish it all, and I'm a full adult. read more

First off, I'd like to say they provide excellent service. I let them know that my daughter had a nut allergy. They were very mindful of this and got out a clean spoon and also took out a new tub of the ice cream flavor that she wanted. It was very much appreciated. I had the coconut chocolate chip flavor and it was soooo good. I loved all the fun and creative flavors that you could choose from. Not a whole lot of seating in there, but why sit when you could explore the area while eating your ice cream? read more

Saturday 11/25/2023 I remember trying this place for the first time back in summer 2021 and all I really remember was them not having a cookies n cream flavor at the time but that's about it. They serve plenty of unique and tasty flavors like carrot cake, apple pie, chocolate fudge brownie, and cookies n cream (the ones I sampled). The service was solid: they were patient and had no problem with me sampling multiple flavors. I ended up getting a triple cup of 1 scoop chocolate fudge brownie and 2 scoop cookies n cream for $6.95. The ice cream was pretty good. The cookies n cream was my favorite but right behind it was the chocolate fudge brownie. All in all, this was a pretty good ice cream experience that I would recommend and be open to returning to. I can definitely say it's the best ice cream I've had in Annapolis so far. read more

I came here a few weeks ago to grab some ice cream after lunch and there was quite a line inside, but it moved fast! I tried their coffee ice cream and it was delicious! I got a single scope, but it was huge! They also have a big light up sign inside that is definitely Instagram worthy. If you walk a couple of blocks up the hill that the shop is on, you can see the port and it's a beautiful spot to take some photos at! There is no parking lot so I recommend parking a few blocks away and walking over. read more

My go to ice cream place when I am in Annapolis. I love the flavors change every time I visit. I try a new flavor each time. The service is fast and friendly. The line can be long but it moves fast. The people who work in Annapolis ice cream can scoop out ice cream really fast! We ate our ice cream in the store and they were closing. They didn't rush us out and let us stay until we were ready to leave. read more

Now I must say my only reason for giving them 3 stars is because I am very particular when it comes to ice cream. The staff is some of the nicest, most patient group of people and the ice cream selection is vast and immaculate for any ice cream lover. My only qualm is that the ice cream is very sweet and I definitely get a headache after eating just 1-2 scoops. I personally prefer less sweet ice cream with fewer additives/coloring. The line was to the outside however, so many people obviously really enjoyed their ice cream. read more

I hate to make this such a low rating, but my salted caramel ice cream was SALTYYY. I go for salted caramel a decent amount of times at other establishments and always love it. This salted ice cream was as if every single bite was filled with salt. I couldn't take more than a few bites without feeling sick. I was very disappointed, and that says a lot coming from someone who lovessss salt and prefers savory food over sweet. If I ever go back I would definitely sample before getting it read more

Service here was absolutely amazing, on point!! Very friendly and welcoming. The staff members greeted us and even made conversations in asking how our day was. The three stars due to not being very impressed with the ice cream itself. I ordered the Salted Caramel Chocolate Brownie Ice cream, and felt like it was just ok. The flavors just weren't anything unique, just tasted sweet. Texture of the ice cream was not to my liking, very soft, melted extremely quickly even though it was a cloudy day and not hot outside at all. read more

Popped in on a Sunday evening after dinner for a sweet treat. There are a ton of flavors to choose from but I settled on the Cap'n Crunch! The portions here are very generous for the price. I ordered a small and it was more than enough. I do wish the Cap'n Crunch had more cereal pieces but overall it was good! I also tried the cake batter but thought it was just ok. There is limited seating inside so prepare to eat your ice cream out in the cold on a busy day! read more

I went to Annapolis ice cream company for the second time this Sunday. I was disappointed that they didn't have their dirt putting ice cream, which I regard as their best but I did get to try their one flew over the cookies nest ice cream, which was a combination of brownie, sea salt caramel, and cookies and cream. You would think that with all three of those flavors, it would be incredibly sweet and overpowering, but it was actually a lot more subtle than I expected and definitely not too sweet. The staff members were happy to let me sample different things and happy to answer any of my allergy questions and they had plenty of people there for ice cream on a day that was only 50°. I also sampled their lemon poppyseed ice cream which I almost went with and probably will get next time. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would and I am a lemon fan! There is some small seating in there, but I took my ice cream to go and ate it down by the docks. read more

The Only Review You Need To Read This place came highly recommended by a friend of mine, and according to signs out in front of the place, it's been rated the best ice cream in Annapolis every year since 2004. With pedigrees like that, obviously I had to check it out. I realized there must be something to that claim because there was a huge line when we entered the place. Even though there were two girls working, the line moved pretty well. Long story short, the accolades were justified - it was very good ice cream. I got chocolate chip (lots of big chips) and my funny little hunny had butter pecan (lots of huge pecan pieces). The place is rather small so there weren't a lot of places to sit, but we got lucky in finding a table. After we sat down to start eating, the line grew all the way to the front door of the place. Granted, it was a sunny and warm Saturday afternoon, so it's not unheard of to want ice cream under those conditions. However, we definitely will be going back to this place the next time we're in town because it is pretty good ice cream. Though there is a soft serve ice cream place that's part of a nationwide chain just down the street, you really could find one of their locations elsewhere and go any other time - give the local place your business because the girls there are friendly, they work hard, it's really good and you won't be disappointed. And no, I don't know them personally nor are they paying me for my review. I'm just talking about them and my experience. read more

I was really excited to try Annapolis ice cream, but was a bit disappointed. I sampled the blueberry lemonade but didn't love it. I ended up getting the sweet cream, which had a subtle, milky taste. Unfortunately it had freezer burn, which messed with the texture. My husband got the key lime pie, which was refreshing. Service was good. There was a line that went pretty quickly. There are a few tables inside, but most people took their ice cream and walked down the street. Overall, I would say our experience was average. read more

Popular ice cream vendor that sells decent, average ice cream. The service was quick with kind staff. Honestly, a small cup is a good size as generous portions are given. I liked seeing an ample amount of flavors to choose from. However, the ice cream itself was just okay. I had higher standards considering it's homemade. The ice cream is good, but not mind blowing or amazing. I've had better. Makes me want to try other ice cream places in the surrounding area to compare. Glad to know they offer vegan flavors though. I got the pineapple coconut and the vegan coconut. The vegan coconut tasted better to me than the pineapple coconut. Tasty, but no where close to the best ice cream ever. read more

The ice cream here was very good! It's very hard ice cream, which has pros and cons. I'm typically more of a softer custard girl, so I was waiting impatiently for it to melt down some. However, because it was so hard, it didn't immediately turn into a puddle when walking outside in the 90° heat, which was nice! The scoops are a bit on the pricier side, but sprinkles (my go-to topping) are free which was wonderful. They have a ton of different flavors, with lots of fruity/citrus options and many Oreo options as well! The staff were very nice and very patient with all of the families with small kids too! read more
