I love ice cream! Was so thrilled to find this delicious and delightful independent ice cream shop. I had the mint chip and chocolate chip. The "chips" were the finely shaved melt in your mouth chocolate. I was so happy to find this little gem. Yum yum yum! And the service was adorable *I was so engrossed in enjoying my ice cream I forgot to take a picture. However, the weather was cold and rainy. read more

Yum, this is our go to place for ice cream. There are over 30 different flavors of homemade ice cream. This evening I had Raspberry Bavarian which is vanilla ice cream with raspberry flavor and chocolate chunks. My husband had coconut flavor ice cream with chocolate chips throughout. Both were delicious. Service is always friendly here and it is a cute place out in the country. However, be warned there isn't any inside seating and limited outside seating on a raised wall. read more

Hoffman's Ice Cream & Deli - Raspberry Bavarian and Coconut Chocolate Chip - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

The ice cream was so good, we went back two days in a row when we were at a softball tournament nearby. Great seasonal flavors!

So I've enjoyed Hoffman's since I moved to Carroll County in 2004. The ice cream is homemade using milk from local farms and is always reliably good. They partner with many of the local VFD fire houses to service ice cream at their carnivals. Off the top of my head they are Winfield, Sykesville, and Reece fire halls to name a few. Their location on 32 has a small convenience store attached to it that makes fresh deli sandwiches. Give it a try and it's worth the trip if you want to get some homemade ice cream. read more

The ice cream does not disappoint! We've had it several times and tried several flavors. Both in house and purchased to go in the pint and half gallon size. I need to make my way over to the deli side next time. read more

I had a random doctor's appointment in Westminster and my doctor actually recommended I visit here since I made the drive all the way there. This is a very well-known spot for a lot of locals, this was my very first time hearing about it and visiting. They are known for a delicious on site made ice cream and they have a deli. I got an Italian sandwich for eight dollars and it was probably the best Italian hoagie that I've had. It's very homey nothing super fancy very American but delicious. Honestly, I'm still thinking about that sandwich. She also gave me a pickle on the side. What costs $8 these days? And it was so solid! It is partially a grocery store as well and they sell ice cream sandwiches, which I want to try next time. I also got a small scoop of ice cream. I got the raspberry special, and it was really really good. Creamy vanilla with bits of chocolate and raspberries. I don't even like ice cream that much. They also let you sample flavors - it was super busy with kids after school. The staff were really friendly. I honestly would drive here just for that sandwich because it was that read more

Great local ice cream. Scoops are reasonably priced, too! Tons of flavors to pick from. Just wish they had more seating options in the parking area. read more

Their ice cream is very good. They would get an excellent from me but for their mixing of additions. For example, I've ordered chocolate almond one time and there were so many almonds it was too much. The second time, I found two in the whole scoop. I had the same experience with the buttered pecan and the black cherry. The nuts and fruit across the entire batch is inconsistent. Not sure how it's mixed but if they improve the ratio of additives, it would be my favorite. read more

Been there a couple times, ice cream is delicious!! Lots of flavors to choose. Servers have been very friendly.

This has the best ice cream in all of Maryland and churned and delicious. My favorites are tin roof Sunday and vanilla with peanut butter swirl. read more

I had to make the journey while I was in Maryland. This place has been around for 74 years and is quite sentimental to me. My parents would take me here in the 1960's. My last visit was in 1997. I took my mom here a few days before she departed Spaceship Earth. The ice cream was good when I was a lad and now as an older and wiser traveler. I thought the large ice cream was a little small---no matter, every sip was yummy. So glad hard-working young people are keeping this historic icon alive. Treat yourself read more

Love supporting local businesses and we had to hit up Hoffman's this summer for their ice cream. Always generously served, our single scoop ice creams are overflowing from their cones (such a great deal!). And you also get to try flavors you don't get to always have. The new flavor we liked this time was the coconut chocolate chip! You can really taste the coconut flavor of the ice cream. So good. We also liked the raspberry sherbet (for the less creamy option) and we got the usual chocolate chocolate chunk and the Dutch chocolate. read more

Hoffman's Ice Cream & Deli - three different flavors of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

I've wanted to try the ice cream for decades. My roommate and best friend in college, worked at her family shop. Ice cream is smooth, cold and nice frozen. Staff inside was helpful. No true benches or tables that I saw, so I'm sitting on a landscaping wall beneath shade trees. Think I'll get a sandwich at the market counter once I'm done As a tribute to my friend, who died much too young, I'm thoroughly enjoying your family's ice cream, Angie. read more

I recently moved a quarter mile down the street and was looking for something quick to eat Hoffman's has been around for 78 years and make their own ice cream and have a little market and sandwich shop too. I ordered a turkey club, a cup of baked potato soup, and bought a half gallon of coconut ice cream. The club was fantastic and reasonably priced, the soup was excellent and the coconut ice cream was out of this world. I have make a pina colada milkshake with it and some rum. Heaven!! The service was prompt, quick and the young lady answered all of my questions about items on the menu. It is a take away place and I didn't see any tables inside but there were some picnic tables outside. The ambiance inside threw me back to my childhood corner store and felt like a step back in time. I recommend stopping by and at least getting ice cream but I will be a regular for sure. read more

This has always been the best ice cream! My family brought me here as a child and I'm happy that the ice cream tastes exactly like it did back then! Whenever I'm in town, I try to sneak in a visit read more

Delicious homemade ice cream! Fast service and inexpensive! We live over an hour away and already trying to figure out how to get back there soon! read more

Great place to stop for ice cream. Gets very busy during the summer but line moves quickly. Bring the family and enjoy.

The "Go-To " place for homemade ice cream in Westminster/Carroll County. They've been around for several decades, and still make their own ice cream. They do have precautions in place for COVID-which sometimes means a long line outside during peak times in the summer. In seasons past, the ice cream line forms at the register inside, and it snakes back through the building to the deli area if it is crowded. However, during this period, only one group is allowed inside the ice cream area at a time and others must wait in a line outside. There are young staff members monitoring the line and ushering people inside when they are ready for them at the counter. And yes people- you gotta wear the mask, even if you believe the Rona is a hoax. ( I do not). It's kind of a bummer-but I totally understand and appreciate the precautions!! Ice cream- there is a good variety of flavors. I prefer chocolate and fudge ripple, but there are more adventurous flavors as well. Milk shakes are popular and from what I recall are very well done. ( Due to dieting, I only get 1 scoop in a cup now.). They have different cones and sundaes, but not a lot of the gimmicky items like a Baskin Robbins chain. Fine by me. It's quality that I crave anyway. And you do get that here. They do have pints and half gallons of their ice cream in a freezer that you can buy and they are more cost effective if you are willing to wait to eat at home. Another " good and cheap tip", they sell homemade ice cream sandwiches in a freezer in the deli area as you come into the store. ( It's easy to grab if you are going toward the ice cream area). They are made with the same ice cream, have a homemade wafer and are a little cheaper than buying a scoop or a cone. My hubby gets them all the time! Deli- Lots of people rave about their deli sandwiches. It's been a while, so I can't say from experience they're great, but all the locals say so! read more

I finally had food from their takeout deli. I'm impressed. They're not chinsey with their portions. Great service.

Great ice cream flavors chocolate the best. Vanilla great for dogs. Great prices. Great sandwiches would recommend the Ruben

My husband and I made a quick stop here while passing through Westminster. I was immediately impressed with the amount of customers who were here at 2pm on a Friday afternoon. The place has a mom and pop/convenience feel - homey with a little bit of everything to offer. On the ice cream side, they had cases filled with their ice cream, offering pints, quarts and gallons. All ice cream was homemade and they had vegan and sorbet options as well. There were a lot of flavors to choose from, a great blend of unique and traditional options. My husband got the chocolate marshmallow and I got pumpkin, a seasonal flavor. We also ordered a small vanilla pup cup for the girls. The ice cream was so creamy and the pumpkin flavor was spot on, but not overpowering. When sampling my husbands, the chocolate was light but still had a nice richness to it. Prices were very reasonable and customer service was exceptional. You could tell they had an efficient system down to get everyone served in a timely manner. Highly recommend for overall quality! Do not blink or you will pass by this place! read more

Awesome homemade ice cream! It's really hard to find true artisanal ice cream shops and Hoffman's does it really well. A family-run shop that has a great selection of flavors and even make their own ice cream sandwiches. Don't forget to bring some pints home! read more

Do you like homemade, hand dipped ice cream, thick milkshakes, sundaes with all the toppings? No? Then this is not the place for you! And if you do, then get in line!! Hoffman's has been around in Carroll County since 1947. I have been eating their ice cream for 35+ years! Every time I am in the area, I have to stop by and get something, usually a deluxe milkshake. Their cookie sandwiches and ice cream cakes are to die for as well. read more

Everyone knows about their amazing icecream, but they gave great soup, sandwiches and salad as well. The staff is incredibly efficient considering how busy it gets there. It's one of my favorite places. They even have some convenience items. read more

Ice Cream Varieties: 100 out of 5 Price: 5 out of 5 Ice Cream Quality: 1,000,000 out of 5 Service/Staff: 5 out of 5 Overall: 5 out of 5 Sooooooo good. There were so many varieties of ice cream, it made it incredibly difficult to pick just one, so I picked two instead. I got a waffle cone with Dutch Turtle and Chocolate Marshmallow. It was creamy, decadent, complex, and just what I needed after a long day in the heat. The service was great and the place was HOPPIN' on a Saturday evening! read more

Really good sandwiches, excellent selection of convenience snacks and drinks . Only downside is no seating that we could see. Everyone enjoying ice cream and food in the parking lot. read more

Hoffman's Ice Cream & Deli is an institution. The ice cream here is a great. It is part convenience store, part Ice cream parlor. They have many flavors here and even sell homemade ice cream sandwiches. The sugar free flavor options are delicious as well. This place is recommended for anyone that enjoys eating ice cream. read more

Excellent home made ice cream. Excellent Customer service. The shakes are great as well.

Hoffman's is a Westminster staple! The place has been here longer than I've been around and probably outlive me. Every person who works here is very friendly and as a family owned homemade creamery, they truly care about the ice cream and you. I frequent this place once a week for my refill pints of Chocolate Chocolate Chunk, Dutch Chocolate, Strawberry Cheesecake and the absolute smash hit 'Bavarian Raspberry' which is a limited time summer flavor but it should be 365 because the raspberry compote/jam along with the vanilla and dark chocolate chunks is anything but ordinary. If you're visiting the town or live in or around Carroll County, please give them a visit and you won't be disappointed! 11/10! read more

AWES9ME ice cream plus they have convenience store/deli attached. LOVE their egg salad and like their cole slaw and chicken salad. Usually they have 2 new soups each day. Some I like and some I don't but HIGHLY suggest you try them cause even a bowl is only $4.25. Sandwiches like the soup there some I like and some are lacking. If your in Carroll County I suggest you stop in, a great place for lunch and dome awesome ice cream or milk shake. read more

Nobody makes better ice cream anywhere in the U.S. . And it far surpasses store brands like Breyers. And Breyers is pretty good. read more

Great local Mom and Pop place. Great ice cream cakes and lots of to-go options like ice cream sandwiches and pints.

Not only are they serving icecream at this place in Westminster, MD, they make subs too. The chicken sub was delish. I like that we have places to sit to enjoy our meal and icecream. read more

Best ice cream ever! Beats all else in the area hands down. Try chocolate peanut butter ice cream with peanut butter topping.
