Thank you Frederick Fudge and Ice Cream for satisfying my sweet tooth! The ice cream here was…read morefantastic! It felt very old school with creamy rich flavors. The prices were old school too in the best way possible- two scoops for $6 feels like a steal! The inside is small- there's no room to do anything but order. But they have tons of ice cream flavors so there's someone for everyone. At the end by the register they have fudge and other chocolate treats as well. They have a decently sized patio area in the back that I'm sure fills up on busy days but has a bunch of room. I want to come back and try some of their other options when it's warmer!

The indoor space is a bit small, so it can get crowded, especially if there's only one employee on duty or raining. Lots of outdoor seating! There's also a fun pinball machine with prizes, including free soft serve if you win a pool ball prize! There's also fudge and chocolate candies sold, instead of ice cream

How did I make it to nearly 50 years old before discovering Biscoff Cookie Butter? Honestly, I feel…read morelike I wasted decades of my life living in complete ignorance. I ordered the Biscoff Cookie Butter milkshake at Swirls Ice Cream Shop in Frederick, Maryland, and I am not being dramatic when I say it gave me goosebumps and made my toes curl. One sip and suddenly I understood joy on a spiritual level. It was creamy, rich, perfectly blended, and tasted like angels crushed up caramelized cookies and decided to bless humanity. I genuinely sat there questioning every life decision that had not previously involved Biscoff. But Swirls isn't just about incredible ice cream and milkshakes, the place has personality and it's cute. On many Saturdays they host fun events that make it feel like a community party instead of just an ice cream stop. One weekend they had Elsa and Olaf from Frozen hanging out with kids, another time they had a beekeeper featuring honey milkshakes because apparently these people wake up every day asking themselves, "How can we make life more magical?" Mission accomplished. Swirls is the kind of place that reminds you simple things can still absolutely delight you. Great people, creative flavors, fun events, and a Biscoff milkshake powerful enough to alter brain chemistry. 11/10. My life can now officially be divided into two eras: Before Biscoff and After Biscoff.

4/5 My husband and I…read moredecided to stop by this cute gelato shop in Middletown around 1:30 PM on a Sunday. They had just opened at noon, so we were excited to be some of the first customers and check out the flavors of the day! The young lady working was super friendly, professional, and genuinely seemed happy to be there--which made our experience even better. She kindly offered us samples of several flavors, which helped us narrow down our choices. I ended up going with a scoop of Piña Colada and something new to me called Candy Dream--a purple gelato that surprisingly tasted like strawberries. Super refreshing and different in a good way! I got mine in a waffle cone, but was a little bummed to find out it was the last one already--only an hour after opening. My husband had to go with a sugar cone, which was still tasty, just not his first choice. We originally came in hoping for chocolate, peanut butter, or salted caramel, but learned they rotate flavors daily--so what's on the menu board isn't always available. Just something to know ahead of time if you're craving something specific. Overall, great little spot with delicious gelato and warm, welcoming service. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors (and hopefully snag a waffle cone next time)!

There is plenty of covered outdoor seating in the front and sides of the exterior. There is even a children play area connected to the parking lot on the side of the building with a playground. Inside was quite small compared to the outside, the line inside was moving pretty quickly. They offer a selection of shakes, cones, toppings, and even no sugar added flavors. I will definitely be back to try more flavors!

Pretty cool spot for ice cream / dessert in MD…read more Came here following hike at Sugarloaf Mt and then Big Belly which is a minute drive down the road, with fam and dog. I initially wanted to get a sundae, but I hesitated as we didn't do much in terms of hike. So not enough calories burned. Instead I gotta cup of double scoop, Bubble Gum + Mint Chocolate Chip. Others got Coffee ice cream in cup, then Coconut and Mango Sorbet in cone, and Pup Cup for our dog. Apparently Sorbet was too sweet and it's better in cup than cone. Don't shoot the messenger, goes without saying. Everything was good and I liked my BG and Mint CC flavors. Though it was a guilty pleasure but it is what it is. They do have generous benches outside for seating. Our dog enjoyed the pup cup also. All in all, we would rate this 4/5 for the ice cream. Enjoyed it, and hope to be back if we're in the area again.

Service is friendly and quick (even with just one worker). There is no indoor seating (order at the window), but quite a few picnic tables to eat your dessert at. Cash only. Sweet Babe's offers a variety of treats including soft serve ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, or twist served in a cup, cone, or waffle cone; add sprinkles for a little extra $), ice cream sandwiches, Sweet Babe (soft serve with up to two toppings mixed in - there's tons of toppings to choose from- candy, nuts, fruit), sundaes, banana splits, differents cake slices topped with ice creams, shakes, malts, floats, snowballs, birthday cakes, and snoballs. Plenty of options to choose from! I decided on a small Sweet Babe with twist soft serve ice cream (chocolate and vanilla) mixed with Oreos and Reese Cups. Wow was this bigger than I expected! I enjoyed my twist, which had a nice balance of vanilla and chocolate. It was creamy, not too rich, and had the right amount of mixins added in. The rest of the family got ice cream sandwiches with twist soft serve. Again, bigger than expected and enjoyed by everyone. Will definitely plan to be back, especially when the weather gets warmer.

They have a lot of unique flavors. Not a huge fan of the amount of food coloring used and some flavors do taste a little artificial or a bit too sweet for my adult taste buds. But the staff were nice in explaining what was in each flavor, double checking for allergies, and providing us samples. Their smallest size was $3.50 when I went this month which is decent. I like that they are flexible with the amount of flavors you can mix as long as it fits in the cup. Located in the midst of a farm you can cross the road to pet some cows making it a fun excursion with kids. Of course that also means that if you were to eat the ice cream outside, you will be greeted with the smell of manure and there really isn't any space inside to eat.

Made a pit stop on the way home from camping and it was worth the small detour!…read more This is not a sit down joint and fyi does not have a bathroom for the public to use. They do have a small parking lot and some benches around back but not ideal for colder weather. The menu is pretty extensive with many options of hot dogs, burgers and dessert. We got the Chicago dog, chili dog, patty melt and onion rings. The onion rings were the best! The breading did not fall off and stayed with each bite of the onion! Not to mention the crunch! The hot dog was also delicious! The way they dressed it was neat and you got a solid bite each time! The patty melt was juicy and the rye pairs so nicely!! The service was quick. It seemed like our small group of 6 may have overwhelmed them slightly with the amount of food we ordered but nonetheless did not take too long !

TLDR: Old-school burger & dog stand with outdoor seating only. Food is delicious, prices are great,…read moreand it's a perfect stop on a sunny day. Expect a wait at peak hours, but worth it. Beef 'N Buns 'N Paradise is one of those hidden gems that feels like summer. This fast casual burger and hot dog stand is walk-up only, with outdoor seating and a handful of parking spots (which fill up quickly during peak times). You order at the window from a huge menu and wait for your name to be called over the loudspeaker. We tried a few of their hot dogs, the Chicago Dog and the Chili Nacho Cheese Dog and both were awesome. The dogs were snappy, flavorful, and loaded with toppings. We also grabbed the double patty melt, which was superlative. The patties were juicy, the rye bread was perfectly griddled, and the whole thing just hit. The onion rings deserve their own shoutout too, crispy, hand-breaded, and the perfect side item. And of course, we had to finish with dessert. We got vanilla soft serve cones with black cherry flavor burst on one and coffee on the other. Super tasty and the perfect ending. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion size. It's exactly the kind of place you want to hit up on a sunny weekend or for a casual dinner after work.
