I've tried blueberry pie, apple ice cream, coffee and toffee, and several others, and there's always something new and delicious to try. Today, I got an apple dumpling with cinnamon and vanilla ice cream, and it was such a delicious treat! You order at the counter, and there are red metal picnic tables where you can sit and enjoy your dessert. Personally, I like to eat mine right off the hood of my car--it's part of the experience for me! I really love this place for ice cream. The homemade flavors, unique treats, and relaxed atmosphere keep me coming back again and again.

The place is always clean and either has a long line or is empty, if you arrive during the "sweet time". Would've been 5 stars if I didn't feel like I was an inconvenience to the staff.

A crazy long history in this location - don't forget your dipped soft cone with that chocolate shell and sprinkles - you'll feel like a kid again! The orders come out quick and the ladies that work there don't write anything down! Very impressed. Great red and white interior, a little cramped when they are busy but the food is so good you really don't care! Been visiting this place for over 60 years!

Introduction to history & deciding to go there:…read more Just read an article yesterday that Crazy Mason will be closing at the end of August. I was in old town Ellicott City on Saturday, April 18 for their Springfest. The only times I end up venturing to downtown is when there's some event going on. We were meeting up with my friend & his family. My friend's brother mentioned Crazy Mason was excellent and that they were very close to the concert stage area we were. I said to my girlfriend I'd be game to try them out to split a shake. Having one by myself is a lot of sugar, so splitting is a more sensible option, not to mention less total cost. This was originally the Ellicott Theater in the 1940's & 50's. Various performing artists, discotheque, etc. had its spot. It's cool this Crazy Mason milkshake place took over this space. Unusual for anything in the ice cream category to have such a large space. I also learned that they started in Myrtle Beach. I could see why as it's a touristy beach area, which various ice cream shops and some more unique options are more common than say in Howard County, MD. Although old town Ellicott City doesn't have the level of tourism that Myrtle Beach would, they have some and of course many locals who go here. In 2024, I had a friend in town, and we drove him up to old town Ellicott City to look around. I just read they started in June 2020 during Covid. The Ellicott City location opened in 2022. It's unfortunate they only lasted 4 years as they were outstanding. My experience: The staff was friendly. We asked for recommendations. The younger guy who was taking orders & making shakes, enthusiastically made a couple of suggestions to us. We settled on the Cookie Mashup, which was a shake with chocolate chip cookie, chocolate syrup, cookie dough bites, cookies n' cream, crushed chips ahoy, crushed Oreo, vanilla buttercream, whipped icing, and [deep breath] a whole Oreo on top. We opted to get it in their souvenir Crazy Mason jar, which is in a mason jar. We sat in the many seats on a lower level with a stage in the background. We waited maybe 10 minutes as they were pretty busy on that Saturday of Springfest. Wow, this shake was outstanding! One of the best shakes I've ever had. It was some flavorful with a lot of great ingredients. We both loved it. I will say it was quite messy, but it was worth it! The price was pretty expensive, but it was an experience. And I would get again, but it's quite unlikely I'll be in old town Ellicott City between today 8/11 & the end of August when they close. We asked the older gentleman who was the cashier & giving the finished shakes if we could wrap the mess we left behind on the mason jar. He said let me give you a new clean jar, which I thought was very nice, and let us keep the used jar too wrapping both of them carefully. In summary, I wish they were staying open for much longer than the next 3 weeks as they really were great and very nice staff/owner too!

Since we had just finished lunch, we didn't want one of the huge expensive milkshakes they are known for, although they did look delicious. Instead, my friend and went for one of our favorite treats: pineapple dole whip, swirled with non-dairy vanilla ice cream (for me) and of course, topped with rainbow sprinkles. The serving was large, and our order was ready quickly. Can't go wrong with dole whip, although the non-dairy ice cream was kind of flavorless. Still delicious though. The place is huge (it used to be an old theater) with plenty of tables. There is also a small game room up front with arcade games. Lots of cute murals on the wall to help capture the moment. There were also annoying gnats flying around, so I think next time I'll eat outside, but I will definitely be back.

A small order window and then a pick up window. The options for soft serve are pretty standard with a kiddies, small, medium, and large cone or cup, but there are small touches like the drip guard on the cone and endless topping options that I can see why the community loves this place. My son loved his cookie dough bite topping and my other child loved his milkshake that wasn't too thick that you can't get it through the straw, but just enough that it wasn't runny either. The seating area was also comfortable and a nice place to enjoy your soft serve. My kids will definitely be asking to go back.

My husband and I shared the mardi gras cookie and milk & cookies cinnamon roll. The Mardi Gras cookie tasted like the perfect melty snickerdoodle. The cinnamon roll was delicious.

While the cupcakes were good, they were not spectacular and I found that two of the four did not accurately meet the description listed online. Two said they had a flavored filling inside the cupcake when they did not. My husband really enjoyed the strawberry funnel cake one as it had strawberry filling, strawberry in the cake batter and has flavorful toppings. This cupcake was 1.00 extra as it was their premium option. The key lime pie was disappointing as the only lime flavor was the drizzle on top, nothing incorporated into the cupcake itself. While I appreciate the beautiful presentation of these cupcakes and those from other similar bakeries, I just find that none of them stand out in flavor beyond what you can purchase at the store and bake at home. I also order the "pupcakes" for my dog and he really enjoyed them. They were carrot cake with a frosting and a tiny milk bone on top. They presented beautifully and smelled delicious.
