On the way to a friend's birthday party, (Apr 2026), inspiration struck: Bring classic Rheb's…read moreCandies' handmade chocolates! Hand-making chocolates since 1917, Rheb's is a 4th-generation family business, hidden on Bloomfield since 1950. It's just north of US-1 Wilkens Ave near Caton Ave, in a tiny little stand-alone building with a red tiled roof, a stone-like facade, and a hand-written red neon sign above the white corner-facing door. You'll walk in facing an L-shaped candy counter, with some Maryland-themed products and some pre-packaged treats along the other walls. Take a number by the door if there's a line. We waltzed right up to the counter at noon on a weekday :-) You can buy by-the-piece, or by-the-pound in various size boxes, pre-selected or chosen one or two at a time. We got a boxed half-pound for our friend, one of these, a few of those, plus a handful for ourselves :-), and some Maryland merch. They have so many varieties! We got milk-chocolate, dark-chocolate, white-chocolate. Nut clusters and turtles, chocolate-covered cherries, caramels, creams and buttercreams and truffles, and one "Birthday Cake" vanilla cream with multi-color candy sprinkles over a soft milk-chocolate shell. Each lovingly created original was fresh and more-than-delicious. Now, when you choose your own, you pay by weight, and our box was a little over the pre-made-half-pound $15.60. I promise you, it was worth every penny. (Remember pennies?) Our friend loved her wrapped birthday-box of Rheb's so much that she didnt share a one! She said she finished the half-pound in two days!!! I call that self-control. Our handful of singly selected candies barely made it to our home :-) You pay at the counter where you order. Rheb's Candies is open 9am-4:45pm, closed on Sundays, in the little building on Bloomfield that was originally half of the garage to their home! You can find a classic portrait photo of Louis and Esther Rheb to the left of the candy counter. There's only a handful of street parking spaces out front, but there's a little more about a block away in the neighborhood. Since Aug 2025, they have a storefront in Mt . Airy, too! Road trip!!! Oh, and they ship! But be careful about the temperature en route.

Rheb's has always my go-to spot for chocolates! I don't care the season: spring, summer, fall, or…read morewinter, there is always a time for chocolate! The service is always great. Pleasant ladies in their smocks taking orders. The ambiance fluctuates. During late spring and summer, it's usually pretty calm and you can walk in, grab a number, and be out with your box of goodies in a matter of minutes. During the fall and especially winter around the holidays, it can be hectic, chaotic, and crowded with folks spilling out of the door and having to endure long wait times, but, I have to say, it's worth it! The chocolates (you can choose from milk, dark,or white for some items) are fresh and made with quality ingredients that keeps folks coming year after year, including me! All in all, a family owned shop that has been around for years that produces some of the best chocolate candies in the Baltimore area. A must visit for anyone.

We just…read moreso happened to be in town for the day and our flight got delayed, so we were able to get our sweet tooth craving satisfied and found Moo Moo Cows by a search online. It had great reviews and while some other local ice cream shops also had good reviews, something stuck out to me about Moo Moo Cows, perhaps the name that excited me and gave me a good vibe feeling. We went in and there were some other diners. It was the middle of the week in the middle of the day so not so so busy, but I was glad to see we weren't the only other patrons at this awesome establishment. The service here is phenomenal. Truly, everyone on the team was awesome, above friendly, and just so warm and welcoming. The menu is extensive and there's something for everyone. I feel like these days in big cities there's so many "fancy" ice cream places with strange flavors but this place has all of the basic flavors and then some more intricate flavors too. Finally! Also, so many places don't do sundaes anymore and that was not the case here. You can build your own which is even better. We both opted for sundaes. I did a small, then we also got a large. We also got a couple of drinks and the total was around $15. We were truly astonished at the price and how generous our servings were. Quality of the ice cream itself was so delicious and has left us craving more. Although we aren't from the area, we already look forward to going back on our next visit to Baltimore!!

On two occasions I've arrived 5-10 minutes before the stated closing time only to be told they're already closed. Maybe these are just temporary hours while they re-open but it makes no sense to have a dessert vendor close at dinner time and open for breakfast. I really hope they do well and that we can finally have a scoop ice cream store in federal hill!

I've never tried any of the food, like a hot dog, but I bet it would be great. The pricing is fair and consistent across the menu and the service is always great and fast! Pro tip: never forget to add marshmallow to your snowball. It's the best to get it in the middle so you can enjoy it with every bite!

They do get crowded on weekends and holidays, but soooo worth the wait. Nowhere really to sit, so walk around and explore the great shops and sites of Hampden.

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.

I liked that there were alot of choices for size. I chose the lady size watermelon and it was okay. It didn't really taste like watermelon.

I didn't have to wait long and the person behind the counter was nice. Again, I really didn't think there was anything special about this snowball. I am always happy to support small businesses.
