    Peanut butter
    Huong N.

    Have been meaning to try The Charmery and finally made my way down to Hampden. There was a long line but it moved fairly quickly. Just peeking at the menu, there are a lot of flavors to try! There's also a freezer of additional pints and ice cream sandwiches for purchase. I tried the peanut butter chip, one scoop. The ice cream was smooth and overall had a great flavor. Looking forward to trying more flavors in the future!

    Tuesday 3/25/25 I've had this spot on my list for a while, as it's a Maryland-based franchise and there was a spot in Baltimore, so I decided to make a visit. The service was fine, I was able to sample six different flavors (telltale, Maryland mud, pure vanilla, old bay caramel, spiced pineapple, and sour grapes) with no problem. Although many of the flavors were unique and creative, none of them really impressed me. I decided I had to leave with something, so I got a double cup of Maryland mud & pure vanilla $7.79. The ice cream was alright. They don't have a cookies n cream flavor, and Maryland mud is the closest thing to it. Maryland mud is chocolate ice cream, Oreo cookie pieces, and chocolate chips. It was cool, but didn't really do much for me. The vanilla was alright, but I really just got it to balance the chocolate overload from the Maryland mud flavor. The ice cream flavors weren't bad by any means, but for me, it wasn't very memorable, and I would not come back.

    Cute ice cream shop! Located in busy Hampden. Parking could be tricky. I snagged a spot a few blocks away. There's not really any seating inside. On a hot summer day, the place was packed. It was my first time here, but i got a good recommendation. They let you sample, and I was curious about the old bay caramel - it was different but not for me. I settled on the salty caramel. I liked it, but it melted way too quickly! Prices aren't terrible.

    The old bay caramel is hands-down my favorite flavor that I have ever gotten at an ice cream shop. It's perfect for anyone who loves salty and sweet, but the Charmery takes it to the next level with how complex the old bay is. Highly highly recommend!

    Perfect for the heat. Service was okay, workers seemed over it. + Double Kiddie Scoop ($6.79): Tell tale chocolate and roasted strawberry, chocolate was rich and melted quicker (7.5/10), while strawberry had a deeper flavor (7/10). I preferred the chocolate but enjoyed this combo.

    This local ice cream chain remains my favorite in Baltimore. The flavor creations are fun and unique, the ingredients are quality, and the menu rotates at a good frequency. I love when they experiment with alcohol flavors too - mezcal and fig and red wine poached pear. Service is always quality and while I do think they should get rid of the disposable plastic spoons, the ones they use change colors when you dip them into your ice cream.

    This is a cute ice cream shop in Baltimore, I like the coconut chocolate swirl vegan ice cream. Service is often fast and smooth. The vibes are cute and homey, but there is limited in-door seating.

    Came here for an after dinner treat and could not be more pleased! The ambiance and storefront is very cute, and the staff is friendly. (Bonus points for one of the staff members knowing which types of sprinkles had gluten and which types didn't - wow). I got "pure vanilla" with rainbow sprinkles (because I'm basic like that) and loved it - great creamy quality yet didn't melt too easily. Will definitely return and try more flavors, especially some of their seasonal flavors which rotate!

    After seeing the Charmery on the news, I knew I had to stop by to try their infamous Carmel old bay flavored ice cream. As soon as I walked in I was surrounded by the yummy smell of freshly made waffle cones. The staff is super friendly and they allowed me to try so many flavors (side note: you try the flavors with an actual metal spoon, good way to prevent so much plastic waste). I enjoyed the Carmel old bay but will only eat this when it's that time of the month. The Charmery also offers staple classics along side the fun seasonal flavors. I ended up ordering one scope of the mint mountain in a waffle cone. I plan to come back often this summer. This is my new staple ice cream spot in Baltimore. Plenty of street parking on this quirky Hampden neighborhood

    Love the ice cream and the ever changing flavors at The Charmery. My only complaint is that the person helping me had loose hair, which ended up on my ice cream as she bent down to get the 2nd scoop. I cannot do hair touching my food! I let the cashier know and she had the cone made again. Thankfully, I was watching and saw it happen , because the employee didn't realize. I hope employees pull their hair back so this doesn't happen again or to other customers !

    What a fun and cute ice cream shop. We are in town visiting family and our sister-in-law recommended this spot and it was a hit. They have so many flavors and you can try what you want. We ended up getting strawberry, mint chocolate chip and chocolate chip. So good and creamy. The servers were friendly. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

    Came back during another visit to the area, to experience more flavors. It's a trio of Thai Tea, Razuzu (pairing of raspberry and yuzu juice), and Ginger. The flavors of the first two flavors weee very nice, but the ginger could use more intensity. It's a favorite stop for the locals and visitors alike.

    Amazing ice cream and service! Love coming here for a date night or with friends! The flavors are unique and delicious! I love that they have vegan options too!

    PBJ ice cream w/ color changing spoon! Oh, the joy. :-)

    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).

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!

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.
