Summer is almost here, which means it's officially ice cream season. After walking around and…read moreshopping, I needed a little pick-me-up and stopped by The Charmery. Super cute spot, clean, inviting, and with a great variety of flavors. Alex recommended the Maryland Mud and roasted strawberry, and both were absolutely delicious. Honestly, ice cream this good doesn't even need toppings. Pair it with a waffle cone, and it's the perfect combo. Street parking is available, but it can get pretty busy on the weekends. Don't be afraid to park a little farther away, it's worth the walk. Take your time walking to the shops around and then treat yourself to some ice cream at The Charmery. Good lord, I almost forgot about the red velvet cookie. Don't leave without getting one.

The gelato I noticed was very fresh and had a large selection of flavors. It seems like a neighborhood spot, inside was packed and outside people were sitting and enjoying their gelato. I'm staying in Baltimore for the week and after dinner I walked to Pitango Gelato for dessert. There are lots of fruit flavored but I was craving their hazelnut gelato made with imported Piedmontese hazelnuts. Heavenly! Those ladies scooped me up something that's free of artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. I mean, grass fed cows are providing the organic milk for this Baltimore staple. I'm just passing through town, I made a stop to try the best gelato in town.

The texture of the gelato is a little gooey-er than ice cream. Service: 5/5 the gentleman at the counter was very patient with me and my friend while we tasted multiple flavors. Very sanitary and cross-contamination free. Ambiance: small storefront with two tables to sit and a small bar, nice if you just wanted to sit with a coffee and ice cream for a bit.

Tuesday 3/25/25 I…read morefound out about this spot on a Reddit post that was mentioning the best desserts in Maryland. I was in Baltimore so I had to go try it. The spot was hard to locate at first until I realized that it's located in the food market. I came for the popular honey graham ice cream but also for my favorite flavor: cookies n cream. Sadly, they didn't have any cookies n cream at the moment, but luckily they did have the honey graham. The service was solid: the worker was nice and I was able to sample four flavors (key lime pie, honey graham, vanilla bean, and chocolate love) without any issue. After sampling the flavors, I decided to get a triple cup of 2x honey graham and 1x vanilla bean. - The honey graham was like that (I see why it's popular). I let my mom sample it, and she enjoyed it so much that she got her own the next day. - The vanilla bean was pretty good and paired well with the honey graham. This spot has some good ice cream that I'd be open to returning for more (hopefully they have cookies n cream next time).

It had been awhile since I had some ice cream from Taharka Brothers, so when I went to R. House I…read moreknew this was a perfect opportunity. I usually get the "Honey Graham", but I saw that they now have "Salted Honey Graham" too and I decided to try it. The service was very fast and friendly. Soon as I tried it, I knew I made a great choice. I'll definitely be back!

They've got everything from hard ice cream flavors to smooth soft serve, Dole Whip (dairy and gluten free - win!), and milkshakes. No matter what you're in the mood for, there's something for everyone. One of the best touches is that they even offer a "doggie delight" which includes their soft serve and 2 milkbones. Love that your pup can enjoy a treat too. My doggie approves! The atmosphere is welcoming and fun. It is also convenient as it has windows to order outside, making it a great spot to stop by with friends, family, and your dog. Definitely a place you'll want to come back to again and again!

Arrived in the afternoon during a busy weekend and decided to take out for desserts. My first visit and was underwhelmed by the service received. Rushed and transactional. Packaging was very sloppy and my napoleons were shoved to the side, making the clear clamshells very messy when I arrived home. If only the desserts were saving grace, but was left disappointed as well. As others have mentioned, the pastries do not taste fresh. The ricotta cream in the original cannoli tasted warm and gritty, the shell was stale. I noticed these were sitting out. The puff pastry in the Napoleons were soggy. The cream puffs shell was stale and chocolate topping was super sweet, unfortunately these were far from heavenly. Maybe another day, Vaccaro.

The vibe inside was relaxing. We were here for a few hours enjoying our coffee, tea and desserts and it was a nice place to pass the time on a cold, freezing day. The thing that dropped the review was basically the coffee and desserts. The coffee was fine, but just your standard coffee that you'd find at any gas station. The cannoli was overly sweet and the cookies we ordered felt stale. Interestingly, they charge more for sit down desserts vs. takeout. The servers were very sweet to share that we could order takeout and not have to pay the extra fee. Finally, not sure why, but there was not a lot of heating inside the restaurant. We ate with our jackets on, which was fine. But found that to be a little odd. Nobody seemed to know why they couldn't get the heat on. When it's below freezing, it would be nice to escape the chill. Overall, it was a nice stop. My kids loved it. But it was not without some quirks.

Cannoli is infilled until you order. The best cannoli ever. Hands down.

I said no I'd like to try, they responded saying 1 sample per person (but it was the tone that turned me off). I tried the flavor I was most unsure about and moved on. They do give a good amount of ice-cream, and they said something about it being the only _____ dairy ice-cream in Baltimore. It was decent ice-cream but I dont need to go back. Otherwise seemed like a cool spot, with a few meal deals and specials.
