The Charmery

Danny devito cutouts in the back are unprofessional but it makes me feel comfier in that store. I like the water dispenser in the back. I like the ice cream, it has a diverse variety of flavors, some rotate out. It is quite a bit pricey but I’d assume that. Worth a visit if you are on a nearby highway.

Absolutely delicious and amazing service! The manager and staff are super friendly and welcoming. A must visit in Columbia. :)

Best hot chocolate so far in my life

I love the fact that they have lemon ice cream! Such a wide variety of flavors

I wanted to take my son for some ice cream. Found this on our drive back home. No seating, so we took out $5.60 (small tiny scoop) of ice cream to go. Not worth the price.

Update: 2 years later and this place is still tops. Get the Maryland Mud flavor. I'm pretty sure it's a staple in their flavors. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. They try some pretty crazy and unique flavor combinations, but I haven't had a bad one yet. You can sample any and all you want to try, and they've all been good. But I always go back to Maryland Mud. :) Also, we love the color-changing spoons. It's the little things really. Stumbled on The Charmery while in Columbia (thanks, Google!) and it's only been open a week! Their menu isn't huge, but I think they've perfected their craft. I got the Cake Kitta-something ( ‍♀️) and hubs and son got the Ice Cream Sando and both were REALLY fantastic. Nice and thick! ...and unique but delicious flavors. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We will definitely return!

Great little ice cream place in the Merriweather district.

Took the family over to "The Charmery" for ice cream, after ice skating. This time we tried rye whiskey eggnog, root beer, lime in the coconut, Mississippi mud, green apple cider, and a couple others (I don't remember what the youngest two got). We got to spin the wheel for a free dessert which ended up being a Sunday. I got a Sunday with root beer flavored ice cream. I was quite pleased with the quality of the chocolate used and I was surprised how well it paired with the root beer flavored ice cream (I know how it sounds, but everyone who tried it in our group agreed).

What a neat little ice cream shop! I was quite shocked to see how packed this place was at 9pm on a Thursday night. I guess that's a testament to how good this place is. I'm not from this area, nor have I ever seen/heard of a Charmery but I'm glad I went in. Even though they were crowded, the lady behind the counter put up with my need to sample some of these super cool flavors. Old Bay Salted Carmel!? So interesting and a perfect balance of sweet and salty. Speculoos was my favorite and perfect during the holiday season. I'd recommend you give this place a shot if you are an ice cream lover!
