There's ample parking too, so if you're in Rockville then be sure to visit. Enjoy :)

Good ice cream. We…read moreordered 2 scoops of ice cream and the gentlemen convinced us to spend a few more dollars and get a pint. So glad we did. We got a pint of coffee Oreo. It's a very light coffee flavor and small pieces of Oreo. I would have liked bigger chunks - but it's still good. We also got a pint of brownie bites. The brownies are also tiny, but good. Service was outstanding. The gentleman who helped us was very friendly.

They are baked fresh daily and include snickerdoodle, birthday cake, chocolate chip, Cookie Monster, ect. Ice cream flavors are mostly cookie and chocolate-based, with a few fruit options (strawberry shortcake or blueberry crumble). One could also order a brownie bottom sundae (brownie baked in a foil round container) and topped with choice of ice cream flavor(s). Portions are huge and can feed 2 or 3 people. This time just had a scoop of strawberry shortcake flavored ice cream in a waffle cone. So satisfying and creamy, and not too sweet. There are a few a spaces for inside seating and more tables outdoors during better weather.

The single scoop is a really nice size so I appreciate that…read more The brownie in the cake tin thing was also pretty good, especially as someone who does not like brownies. There was only a little hot fudge drizzle though Not a lot of flavors, but they have a couple interesting ones and a couple standard ones. The cookies were ok. The gingerbread cookie was kind of mid. The white macadamia cookie was also mid but maybe a little better? I think the cookies are mid because they're meant to be eaten with ice cream? But if you're looking for a really good cookie, this is probably not the place. Perhaps the flavor would be OK in conjunction with the ice cream.

To be honest, I was in deep shit cause I jokingly told my daughter that my wife and I are not her parents and how I found my daughter in a trash can and I had to get her to stop crying before I get home because I know my wife is going to stab me while she goes on ranting about spending nine months carrying her only for me to traumatize our daughter about finding her in a fucking trash can. Look... it's my generational trauma that I'm passing down to her because my dad did the same shit to me also.... It's called tradition. But I digress... So I bribed my daughter with ice cream and I get to live another day stab free. Some pretty damn fine ice cream at that too...

Delicious homestyle ice cream. They are also the owners of Kona Ice…read more I've had their waffles before and it was delicous. I'm very picky when it comes to ice cream. I love ice cream especially during off peak season. I got the vegan ice cream - strawberry flavor. I wish that I got a bigger size but it was delicious. I was happy to know that the vegan ice cream was not soy based, The owner and the female employee was very nice and welcoming to our group. Its a small ice cream shop, but the ice cream is very fresh and they use high quality ingredients. No stabilizers in their product. I will bring my mini tribe back here

Yes to Carmens! They've got options! Lots. I love the Gelati which is a mix of Italian Ice and…read morecustard. I got the strawberry ice with honey milk custard. What is honey milk, you ask? It tastes like the creme inside an Oreo cookie. So when you mix that with the strawberry Italian Ice, my Gelato tasted like Strawberry Nestle Quik.

I came for the fried chicken but fell in love with the BBQ!!! Actually it was all delivered but you…read moreknow what I mean. I'll get the only fail out of the way. The Chicken tenders weren't tender and the coating was over-salted. The full rack of BBQ Pork ribs was a winner, tender and meaty with great flavor. The Slow-smoked Chicken is delicious and a nice, moist change from the usual chicken treatments. The Smoked Chicken Wings were great too. I wouldn't get the Texas Beef Brisket or the Carolina Pulled Pork again, but they weren't bad, just lots of other choices that were better! The sides here are stand-outs too. I almost didn't get the vegetarian Collard Greens since I love collards cooked with meat but these were delicious -- they never made it to the microwave, they were so vinegary-good when I sampled them cold lol! The Mac & Cheese was good and cheesy. The baked beans were good but again vegetarian where I'd prefer meat included and I didn't care for the sweet sauce. The Skillet Cornbread is the best I've had, slightly sweet with a good corn flavor that made me decide to buy a WHOLE skillet rather than just the generously portioned slice next time, especially since it's such a good value. I do regret not trying the coleslaw and potato salad so again, next time. The little rolls are tasty too, moist and slightly sweet but it's a pity they aren't burger-size so you can make a sandwich with all that delicious meat and sides.

IYKYK ;) They also have usual flavors like vanilla, chocolate, mint chocolate chip, strawberry and so on. The place is very small you place you're order it's made in front of you are you exit to enjoy on the exterior patio or in your car. Only 6 people can fit in the vestibule to order (maybe up to 10). Everything is done in front of you and it's worth the wait. They have several ice creams, shakes, sundaes and floats. The service is always great but depending on the season they may be out of certain flavors so read the notes around the window while you wait. Their hours vary based on the season. They are located on Rt.355 - Hungerford Drive next to Cameron's Seafood directly across from MCPS Board of Education building before you get to Montgomery College - Manakee Building.

I'm choosing joy. I'm choosing vibes. I'm choosing snacks. While back on the dating scene, I literally have one rule: pick me up/send me an Uber and I'll go wherever with you. I'm in my YES phase right now. YES to every invite! No dietary restrictions here...I'm open to all the things. Gluten? Yes. Sugar? Absolutely. Anything yummy, anything bad? Hand it over. I'm not fighting for my life in the gym yet. I was told I would be on the best date ever. Best date ever? Hmmmm. Very, very confident. I love that energy. Well, Pike & Rose is amazing. I'm late to the party, but I arrived cute, so it's fine. I'll give it to him, great date. But what made it spectacular was him introducing me to The Baked Bear. I do love nice things, roses, and gifts, but the way to my heart is SWEETS. Love me with sugar and I'm likely to like you more. This was a direct hit. A bullseye. Cupid could never. I've never been to Pike & Rose. I do not like driving, so this area has never crossed my mind. But yes, thank you for the intro. I will now be acting like this is my spot. We walked up and wow...the line was so long. There will be lines, fair warning. The neon sign was everything because I am the Cookie Monster of the DMV. If it's baked, warm, sprinkled or melts slightly when you touch it, I want it. Hand it over! Cute places to sit outside the shop! Very date‑night worthy, and lots of couples doing sweet couple things. I love... love. This was lovely to see; old couples, new couples, couples who look like they met on the walk over. Love is beautiful. Let's get into it! I did not want to do the brownie cookie sandwich, but my new big‑back friend said I could and should, so I did. Don't threaten me with a good treat. I will crumble faster than the cookie. The ice cream choices complement all things ice cream sandwich. Truly no wrong choices just great ice cream flavors for the best ice cream sandwich or bowl! This was so delicious. I'll be back...a big back, all the backs!!!

Although I have tried my fair share of funky flavors, I have never come across as many unique and…read moregenuinely tasty options as those at Carmen's Italian Ice. Calling the selection good would be an understatement. Flavors and styles lined the walls, and they have even introduced seasonal spring drinks alongside their custards and Italian ice. I ordered a gelati, which came with two flavors and the option to add a warm brownie in the center. They also offer prepackaged pints to take home. The only item that could not be sampled was the not fried chicken, their iconic Shark Tank inspired creation shaped like a chicken leg, where the novelty lies more in the form than the flavor. Some flavors had intriguing names like Tiger Blood and Midnight Fantasy, and the staff were more than happy to explain each one in detail. *Midnight Fantasy: featured a chocolate base mixed with chunks of brookie. It leaned heavier with a slightly grainy texture from the cookie pieces, but the chocolate itself was not overly sweet. It worked best when paired with something lighter. The brookie itself was well balanced, with a fudgy brownie component and a cookie that had a snickerdoodle like quality. *Mango Italian Ice: had a clean, fruity flavor and a smooth texture. It was not overly icy and paired nicely with the custard on top. *Honey Milk: was my favorite of everything I tried. The honey flavor came through strongly, both in taste and aroma, while the milky richness added a smooth creaminess. It paired beautifully with the Italian ice and balanced the richness of the Midnight Fantasy. *Spring Break Soda: was an interesting take on a Sprite style drink, with kiwi syrup, blue raspberry syrup, grenadine, and cold foam. It definitely delivered a sugar rush. There was a tropical feel, but it may be best suited for those with a serious sweet tooth. There is likely something for everyone here, and the friendly service makes it easy to find your match. While I would probably skip the sodas, the Italian ice and custard stood out for their quality.
