As an ice cream connoisseur, I would have to say that this little ice cream shop nestled in the brick and mortars of Historic Elliott City is simply the best! They serve delicious Taharka Bros. ice cream that oozes with flavor and the staff is always so friendly. This place never disappoints!

They have Taharka Brothers Ice Cream!!! Need I say anything more? OK, there are toppings and other items on the menu, however, that alone is reason enough for a visit. Seven little tables in patio, with most of them having shade. Nearby free, safe, and plentiful parking. Family friendly!

This is my favorite place to get ice cream. It is locally made, and absolutely delicious! Mint flixx and chillz is my favorite- it has pieces like peppermint patties in it. My favorite 2 flavor combination is key lime and honey graham. It tastes like a creamy frozen key lime pie! There is a great outdoor seating area and the tables even have umbrellas for shade.

Fantastic local creamery with great laid back atmosphere. Live music was a plus I wasn’t expecting. We had two double scoops and all 4 flavors were wonderful. Would have given 6 stars if I could. Wish I’d have found this place years ago, but better late then never I guess.

Excellent ice cream with some fun flavor selections. Of the 5 flavors I ate or tried all of them were winners. Only bummer was they did not have waffle cones.I’ll certainly be back.

Unfortunately, my belly would attest to my experience as an ice cream connoisseur. Its really not complicated: good ingredients and a high cream content, recently prepared. I can go to the grocery for cream content/ingredients, so a proper ice cream shop distinguishes itself in texture that cant be found in the freezer aisle.This ice cream had that springy, whipped texture where you dip your spoon into the scoop, and the ice cream tugs back as you try to retrieve a bite. This was the real deal, and in a landscaped and stone brick setting nothing short of idyllic.

I dont normally do mint chocolate chip, but it is my sons favorite. He let me try his and I was more than pleasantly surprised. No artificial ingredients or coloring. Just great tasting ice cream.

If you are looking for local ice cream parlors, Park Ridge Creamery is a must try. Located in Ellicott City downtown, the parlor offers some excellent variety and every item in the menu is worth it!

The ice cream was delicious! There was a live music and a lot going on around when we went too.

The Black Cherry Chunk was AMAZING! My neice got the Beautiful Struggle (buttercream base ice cream with strawberries and blueberries) ... YUM! My nephew got Cookies n Cream ... so delicious. Highly recommend! Great service, excellent ice cream and a cute picnic area to boot.

Delicious ice cream at reasonable prices. $3.75 for a single scoop cup (only one flavor). Outdoor seating only.

Wow, this was good ice cream. As soon as the blueberry ice cream, that my one boy got, hit my tongue, it was an intense blueberry and not just an essence of blueberry, like most ice cream shops seem to have. My other boy got Key Lime Pie and I got Peanut Butter Cup, which were both just as good. I cant wait to go back and try more flavors.

As someone who goes out to eat ice cream or gelato multiple times I week, I just have to say this is THE BEST ICE CREAM I have ever had!! So creamy as if we were on a dairy farm!!

Nice place to have some ice cream and chill!

Good place to enjoy with your children.

Very good and super friendly great service week ends are usally live music around 3 or a bit later

Lady taking the order was pretty rude. Seemed like I was bothering her while she talked to her staff.I tried the cookies and cream and Coffee Oreo and it wasn’t that good 😞

Edit: Owner responded to comment and we connected via email. I appreciate the fact that she acknowledges what has happened and has kindly offered a refund or a gift card to Gove her place another try. Because the owner has showed great customer service in reaction this incident,, I am willing to give the place another try in the future.Original review:DISGUSTING!We ordered 1 scoop of coffee oreo, 1 scoop of honey Graham. And 2 scoops of butter pecan. My husband had the butter pecan and as he was finishing toward the bottom of the cup, there is a strand of hair mixed in with the ice cream. GROSS. They would have had an earful if we ate at the spot. Fortunately or unfortunately, we were eating on our way home.There is definitely an issue with keeping a clean work space while ice cream is being made or scooped.Couldnt even call to make them aware or complain as they dont even have a phone number available.Highly disappointed as I expected better based on the reviews.

Hidden Gem. Delicious fresh made ice cream. Lots of outdoor seating. Good price - $3 single scoop, $5 double scoop. Good portion. Definitely will be returning.Update: Came back. In ice cream heaven.

What a ripoff$6.50 for a a skimpy double scoop one off which was a completely flavorless Acai Sorbet.Served by an impatient and apparently bored young woman.Steer clear

1000% YES!! Really, REALLY good ice cream! Delicious and light! I will be back and will certainly tell everyone about it!

Delicious and creamy ice cream! We had the Oreo coffee, carmel, chocolate brownie, and the Berger cookie. Definitely coming back for more!

The ice cream was to die for. The creamiest Ive ever had hands down. This was my first time and deff not my last.

I may be biased but this is the greatest ice cream shop in the history of ice cream shops! 😃

I would love to leave a review on the ice cream, however, we showed up at the window at 9:06. I understand you close at 9. I’m glad you have so much business that you can’t serve me a simple cup of ice cream 6 minutes past closing. If it were a restaurant I understand. If it wasn’t during these trying times I understand. It was simple to just put a scoop of ice cream in a cup that would take 2 minutes and help your business. I’ll come back next season and try again.Just disappointed.

My wife’s and my favorite place to get ice cream in the East Coast!

Key Lime ice cream is good. But no cone, really

Ice cream was yummy. They closed early for a Sunday afternoon so go early.

Good quality Ice cream. Very tasty. I have had pistachio Ice cream 👌👌

Taharka is the best ice-cream !!

Really good ice cream!

Great flavors great service! Also had a gluten allergy and folks were very knowledgeable and handled with care. I will definitely be returning!

Amazing ice cream 🍦 Just had to make an offering to this pollinator so he would not fly in our face👍

Very nice ice cream...had the black cherry chunk. My version of chocolate chip. Pistachio I heard first hand was good too.Located in historic Ellicott City MD.

Loved It. Key Lime Pie flavor was my favorite.Nice area for outdoor seating.

Came here once with my friends. Absolutely divine, 10/10. Mmmmmm. Will go again once I go back. Absolutely amazing. Fantastic ice cream.

Nice place to go with the family. Disappointed they didnt have plain chocolate. Outside seating was nice. Live music nextdoor.

Traveling in the area, I thought Id stop at this little scenic spot for music and working on an assignment. I found Park Ridge Creamery and being quite the ice cream lover, I decided to check it out. I was not left wanting. The ice cream is very creamy, rich in flavor, and delightfully sweet. The service was fantastic, the outdoor seating shady and scenic, and I like the vibe. Bonus, theres free county wifi and a plethora of interesting things to look at.

Cant say enough good thinks about this place. I take my daughter here all the time, the ice cream is fantastic and has unique flavors that you dont find anywhere else. Great place to chill out, eat ice cream outdoors and take in old down town.

Delicious ice cream

Their pistachio ice cream 👏

Wonderful location and atmosphere. Staff was very polite and the ice cream is fantastic! I definitely would recommend this place if you are looking for a chill ice cream stop.

Best ice cream around. Great place to bring the kids or just hangout on a nice day. Seating is outside and you can grab food nextdoor. Theres often live music in the evening.

Tried this place for the first time today. I got peanut butter oreo ice cream and my husband got key lime and graham cracker ice cream. It was absolutely fantastic! The prices are great and there is outdoor seating. We will definitely be coming back soon!

Tucked in the valley, this gem is a perfect ice cream date location with delicious ice cream. Food allergies are taken seriously, with an overall attention to getting each customers order correct.

I cant really post much about this place. I went there during their Harry Potter weekend event in Ellicott City.I went there with the specific intent on having one of the advertised Butter Beer floats. Unfortunately after waiting in line for quite some time they came out and said that they were out of the floats. At that point I was next in line. Such a disappointment; however good for them that they successfully ran out of something instead of having so people not want it.Im sure the event will come around again and Im sure Ill give it another shot.

We three kookoos were hungry for ice Cream and we looked around Google maps. This place had pretty good reviews and it looks nice and ice cream taste very good. Waffle cone does not cost extra. the waffle cone is nice and crunchy. Keep in mind that we are very very picky about things sometimes and this place is a really nice place. You could come here for ice cream.

The ice cream here was very good. The portion was small for the price

The ice cream is amazing, good creamy texture, not overly sweet that you cant enjoy the flavor. I got their Baileys Irish Cream and its better than the Haggen Das stuff. Hubby got the Berger Cookie ice cream, lots of cookie chunks in it.

This is some of the best ice cream Ive ever had! Theyre always adding new flavors and theyre consistently amazing!

Love the ice cream and like that the Creamery looks out to a patio area so that Marley my mini poodle can come with me.

Good ice cream, friendly service. Try the specials, they are very good.

The Dark Chocolate Balsamic drizzle on Strawberry is freaking life changing! Thank you Park Ridge Creamery!!! ❤️❤️❤️
