Best Gelato in Bel Air

"An excitable line running out the door and snaking down the block isn’t always a guarantee that whatever’s on the other side is worth the wait, but The Charmery is one B’more business that’s earned this type of sustained hype. David and Laura Alima’s colorful scoop shop doles out literally and figuratively cool flavors — speculoos, pistachio toffee, even Old Bay Caramel — alongside old-school soda jerk offerings, like chocolate egg creams, root beer floats and hot fudge sundaes."

"It's a cute little ice cream shop on the corner of West 36th Street, but it's not your average ice creamery with its unique flavor selection. While you can get reliables like Pure Vanilla, Tell Tale Chocolate or NY Cheesecake, why not stretch your taste buds with a scoop of Old Bay caramel?. Cinnamon ramen, mango sticky rice and mango lime hot sauce are also on the menu."

"The Charmery is probably the best ice cream you can get in Baltimore (I am sure those are fighting words.. I stand by my choice!). They have a rotating menu of ice cream flavors that are concocted just for the Charmery. You can get a special sundae made from scratch, root beer floats, and hand spun milkshakes."

"Pitango Fells Point has been churning gelato and sorbet on location since 2007. It was the first of six Pitango locations to open, and sources fresh milk, cream and eggs from an organic farm in Pennsylvania. Pitango focuses on simple flavors and high-quality ingredients, favoring single-origin chocolate and real fresh fruit over artificial colors and flavorings."

"A photo posted by Spoon University Loyola (@spoonuniversity_loyola) on Sep 27, 2015 at 11:14am PDT. While Pitango Gelato’s flavors are more classic and tame, that doesn’t mean their quality is any less. This healthier alternative to ice cream is creamy and delicious, and will no doubt have you coming back for more."

"Every batch of gelato and sorbet from this Fell’s Point shop is churched fresh every day. Google Map Directions here."

"Case in point, their creative spin on chicken and waffles: jerk duck and cornbread waffles. These mouthwatering waffles are paired with a bite of seasoned duck, poached egg, and a delicate touch of powerful orange marmalade. If that’s got you salivating then just wait until you see the rest of the incredibly inventive menu…"

"Water for Chocolate wins in the category of name, but how does its coffee hold up?. While it doesn’t quite match the pure quality of Zeke’s, Water for Chocolate more than makes up for it with ingenuity. We’re not sure why their coffee ice cubes aren’t a universal practice for iced coffee yet."

"Taharka Brothers is bigger than an ice cream shop or their now-signature electric pink truck—it has a mission at its core to encourage leadership in urban youth as a force for social change. With flavors like Coffee Oreo, Honey Graham, and Matcha Mochi, the Baltimore-based handcrafted brand is sold in stores, restaurants, and universities all over Baltimore and D.C., as well as through their headquarters. Their crowdfunded truck, the Change-Maker Mobile, can be found at area events and through Twitter."

"This ice cream shop offers a mix of the old with the new — the market first opened in 1786, but the 21st century ice cream company has its roots in social change and community activism. You’ve probably seen their hot pink, crowd-funded ice cream truck around the city, but now you can visit Taharka Brothers anytime in Fells Point. Check out this short documentary to learn more about the company’s history and mission."

"Taharka Brothers has some of the best ice cream in the area, with unique flavors that will leave you completely and utterly satisfied. Order their ice cream online or visit their stall in Broadway Market to get your fix. SEE ALSO:Apropoe's: Cauliflower Ravioli's a Thing?"

"The family-owned BMORE LICKS lies right on the edge of the picturesque Patterson Park, with a variety of fun, homemade hard ice cream, soft serve, specialty flavor cones, cookiewiches, milkshakes, ice cream tacos, and more. They even make Snowballs, a local summer treat made with shaved ice, flavored syrup, and marshmallow fluff. You may find a line when you get there, but don’t let that or the number of choices discourage you because whatever you get will be worth it."

"Canton's Bmore Licks, located at 2437 Eastern Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the spot to score ice cream, frozen yogurt and more 4.5 stars out of 228 reviews. Among the 30 or more homemade flavors on the menu are Cuban coffee Oreo, s'mores, watermelon chocolate chip and cotton candy. Flavored cones are also available."

"Another Baltimore favorite, BMore Licks carries at least 30 flavors of homemade ice cream daily. Flavors are rotated seasonally, but the favorites are always available. They also serve a wide variety of seasonal and special flavor cones."

"The first Kilwins opened in Petoskey, Michigan, in 1947, and the company now has over 100 locations across America. Kilwins ice cream is still produced in Petoskey, but you can watch employees handcraft fudge, caramel apples, waffle cones, brittle and more in the Fells Point store. Franchise owners David and Karen Gilmore decided to open their own shop after visiting a Kilwins in Florida and falling in love with the unique ice cream."

"Sabina-Mattfeldt’s Jupiter’s Ice Cream, located at 1405 Forge Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the spot to score ice cream, frozen yogurt and more 4.5 stars out of 56 reviews."

"Speaking of Taharka Brothers, this ice cream shop near the Cylburn Arboretum serves their ice cream year round!. (This is the former location of Uncle Wiggly’s). Google Map Directions here."

"The wood-fired pizzas are complemented by the amazing art around this establishment. Critique the meal and the artist’s masterpiece for a cultural dining experience."

"A visit to the Maryland Historical Society provides you with a great way to learn more about the history of Baltimore and of the state itself. You can look forward to learning through a variety of fascinating exhibitions and displays, with some wonderful collections and exhibits that form part of the museum. This is a place that can be enjoyed by children as well as adults, providing the whole family with a great opportunity to learn more about local history."

"One of the oldest cultural museums in Maryland, the Maryland Historical Society, has a collection of Maryland’s history since 1844. The museum is home to over seven million historic artifacts that date back to pre-Colonial times. Address : 610 Park Ave, Baltimore, MD 21201"

"From Business: Maryland Historical Society, established in 1844, is one of the oldest cultural organizations in the United States. It provides a museum, library, press, and…"

"Creative Alliance is a fantastic community arts space that has everything from live performances to workshops to family friendly activities. Kids will love Kerplunk!. – their free Family Art Drop-in, lantern-making workshops leading up to The Great Halloween Lantern Parade, Día Del Niño, Dog Days of Summer Block Party, World Refugee Day, workshops with the Artesanas Mexicanas, and much more!"

"Lombard St. With 4.5 stars out of 159 reviews on Yelp, the bakery/brunch spot, which serves coffee, tea and more, has proven to be a local favorite."

"On your way, stop at Stone Mill Bakery for a loaf of bread, some pastries, or a sandwich (my favorite is "The Powerhouse": sprouts, tomatoes, provolone, and honey Dijon on seven grain bread) and windowshop in the boutiques nearby. If you make it to the Hereford-Monkton area (about 30 miles north of downtown), visit the Prettyboy Reservoir (pictured below) and hike on the surrounding paths, or find an entrance to the Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail (formerly known as the N.C.R. Trail), which is a stone dust path that stretches to the Pennsylvania border. If you have your bathing suit and an innertube (I always travel with an innertube), you can float on the adjacent Big Gunpowder Falls River."

"’s favorite beer garden, sipping on one of the over 30 specialty draft brews they feature, while playing lawn games or relaxing with friends by the outdoor fireplace. The beer garden offers daily specials, such as Two-for Tuesday and Burgers on the Beach every Thursday – where you’ll get half-price burgers if you’re wearing a Hawaiian shirt."
