As a first-time visitor from out of town, this spot earned a place on my list of coffee shops that…read moreI'd actually love to visit again! The vibe was busy but comfortable at the same time. The busy-ness was a testament to its popularity, yet it was comfy and relaxed because there was a variety of seating areas where one could enjoy their beverage and/or food. Many were reading, listening to personal headphones, chatting with friends. The atmosphere was lively. I loved that the menu had a variety of items on it... Definitely something for everyone. This is one of the few shops that have a delicious cardomom syrup. I actually ended up ordering a second beverage because the first one was so delicious!

Gravel and Grind was a super popular place to be this Sunday morning. The atmosphere was clean &…read morecute with a bicycle aesthetic going on. Lots of indoor, outside street view, and outside back patio seating. When I arrived, the line was actually out the door, but I only waited about 10 minutes to place my order and an additional 10 minutes to receive my coffee and food. The coffee itself was actually amazing. I loved the uniqueness of it all and wish I could have tried everything before returning to VA!

Food/drinks: Ordered most the GF items they had in stock! * Peach almond cake - delicious. And fresh out of the oven. * Lavender almond cookies - also delicious. Substantial. Melty but not too melty. Needed more than two. * Peanut butter cookie - okay. Got it because I do like PB and another review praised it, but I didn't need it. It's really chewy/a little pull-y. *Lemony mint tea - it was okay. Barely noticeable lemon. Like the touch of the leaf of fresh mint. Probably wouldn't repeat. Service: Friendly and focused. Not super quick so wouldn't go if I'm in a hurry. Not a deterrent. Ambiance: Let's talk about cute! A pretty brilliant renovation of an old gas station into a bright, airy, farmhouse eclectic cafe. I took my food to go but would love to sit here for a bit. Which obviously means I'll be back.

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.

Four stars for being well organized and well stocked and for their friendly staff. Definitely a great little shop to stop by if you're shopping in Frederick along Market and Patrick Streets!
