A delicious ice cream treat is never a bad idea, especially on those hot summer days. We even like to go to our local places here in Ellicott City, MD in the winter, because they’re that good. This fine city has some ideal stops that will please the whole family. So come on out to one of the following establishments.

1. Yogi Castle

Smoothies, shakes, frozen yogurt, sundaes, and more are what you’ll find at this venue, which has been a locals’ favorite since 2010. They offer multiple flavors and more than 50 toppings. Try their chocolate cup and add your choice of toppings, such as Butterfinger, Snickers, pecans, Oreos, or sprinkles. We also like the strawberry popper cup, the smoothies, and the banana splits.

If you’re unsure of what to order, just ask a friendly staff member for one of their special creations. Yogi Castle is located at 10132 Baltimore National Pike.

2. Park Ridge Creamery

When you’re looking for desserts that will leave you wanting to come back for more, this is your place. Their most popular feature is the famous Taharka Brothers treats, which the locals rave about. Order a single, double, or triple scoop in either a cup or a cone. We suggest peanut butter cup, mint chocolate chip, or key lime pie. The service is friendly and the prices are decent.

After you’ve ordered, you can sit outside and enjoy the live music, which is often a feature here. And before you leave, be sure to buy some treats to take home. Park Ridge Creamery is located at 3741 Hamilton St.

3. Soft Stuff 

This family-owned business has served the community since 1984 and it continues to remain a popular choice. They serve cones, milkshakes, frozen yogurt, and sundaes. We like the mix of vanilla and chocolate swirled together in a classic cone or a waffle cone, or the butter pecan, cool mint, or raspberry flavors. Spruce up your treat with toppings like caramel, gummies, pineapple, marshmallows, butterscotch, or chocolate syrup.

We appreciate that they serve kiddie cups and kiddie sundaes as well. Order your treat and then enjoy either indoor or outdoor seating. You’ll also be pleasantly surprised at the affordable prices that Soft Stuff offers. Find them at 10039 Baltimore National Pike Ste. G.
