Marble Slab Creamery

They NEVER have all the flavors or toppings.
Things are mislabeled and they serve you the wrong ice cream. They don’t care, they can’t remember spoons and they are expensive to boot.
Go find another ice cream place that has ice cream!

Too much of a good can make you feel big. too long of a line can probably can get into a tangle. There is still time to think about it and back out. This 2^nd floor ice cream and cookies is not the only place to get your sweets during summer time in inner harbor place. Make a decision or wait in line and shut up and eat your ice cream before it melts. Not so bad but people stinks to what’s immediate and near them.

Good location. Slow service. Nice cashier but horrible «policy» that supposedly says I can’t purchase a kids size ice cream because I’m not under 12.
Assumptions: I’m not buying it for a kid under 12. Also, that I want a huge intake of sugar. So they’d prefer no sale, as I walked out, to a sale. Wow. Will NEVER go back there.

Icecream is good but service is horrible! The person gave us a waffle cone instead of a chocolate dipped bowl. After asking for a sample, the girl muttered something under her breath. And lastly, I saw another girl roll her eyes at another customer! I can’t believe how unprofessional and just bad at her job these people were!

Staff hates their job and make you wait. Ice cream is not too good either. No seating.

She said…“I love marble slab, but the service here really sucks. The one taking our order seemed like she didn’t care about anything. She barely answered our questions and served really melty ice cream. She couldn’t even add mix ins because it was so melty. Blah wouldn’t come back to this one just for the service.”
He said…“The service here was horrible, the server seemed annoyed that we were ordering ice cream. Oh wait I didn’t pick her job so why was she mad? I don’t know but she tried to give me ice cream that was liquified, I was like I’ll pass. She ended up giving me some other ice cream but it was melting already. This place needs quality control. Usually Marble Slab is okay but this location was bad.”

No place to sit, the staff was not very friendly.
It’s ice cream. but I would go elsewhere if I were you. There is a candy store downstairs… much friendlier service there.
I had a shake and it was only ok. She gave me the wrong size and was not helpful when I asked her about the toppings. She seemed too busy to help me out.
The cookies were not good. my three year old son didn’t even finish his. I will not be back. Not worth it when there is a Ritas just down the pier.

Be prepared to wait in a long line on the weekend. Apparently the 21 yr old manager doesn’t know how to staff this place for a WEEKEND! Little screaming kids rule!!!

This ice cream parlor is located in a VERY TOURISTY section of Downtown Baltimore. For Baltimore residents they know this all too well, THE HARBORPLACE MALL. The shop itself was smaller than a Cold Stone Cremery but larger than a Baskin Robbins.
The prices were standard much like Cold Stone’s prices. $ 4.50 (Small), $ 5.50 (Medium), and $ 6.50 (Large). I ordered the medium with the waffle cone (a dollar extra in price) inside the bowl. I chose pistachio, cinnamon and amaretto scoops (ice cream). I was AMAZED at the flavor. It was really intense as I was just ponder at what I would have eaten had I not just tried this parlor out. Oh wait I probably would have tried Rita’s (ice custard. Never had perhaps next time when I venture there.).
The ice cream was freshly made as I could see from the texture of this delight. I was a happy camper. =)

Given their awkward name and claims that they’re the «original» Cold Stone, I never thought I’d patronize a Marble Slab, but their Inner Harbor location just so happens to be joined by a «Great American Cookies» — I went in for the latter.
Aside from the usual cold-​mixed ice cream concoctions, there’s a whole separate assortment of cookies, ranging in both size and flavors. Bite-​sized variants (think Entenmann’s in size) are steep at $ 1.19 apiece, but I grabbed a few of the mid-​sized versions for a more reasonable (but still not cheap) $ 1.69 each. If you buy five, you get one free though.
Overall, the cookies I had were tasty, and loaded with creamy morsels of goodness (chocolate fudge, marshmallows, caramel, and white chocolate, depending on flavor of course). I’d recommend this place to those looking for one-​stop ice cream /​cookie, shopping, although there is a fudgery, smoothie, and pretzel shop downstairs if you’re seeking something different…

AGHAGHAGJAHGJAGJAGAHJGA! Marble Slab is M.I.A!!! I stopped by the mall last week and it was nowhere to be found. Seriously — just an empty shell of a restaurant. I seriously almost freaked out. Ok — I did freak out!!! AGH! I am going to get to the bottom of this and get back to you all. I am hoping it’s just relocated!

I’m a sucker for Apple Pie a-​la-​mode… and it was on the menu, so I indulged! It was ok, but nothing special. I get the Apple Dumplings w/​sweet cream at Coldstone, and it’s soooo good, but Marble Slab is just a sorry imitation. It’s almost laughable!

I had a scoop of the strawberry a few weeks ago, and it was anything but «healthy.»
The texture is heavy (like Coldstone), but is creamier and is not too sweet like some other ice cream shops I could mention.
The staff this time around were pretty friendly – I guess it varies based on the other reviews or grumpy, slow staff and dirty rap music.
It’s not cheap – I spent somewhere around $ 3.50 for a small cone – but I guess it’s worth the occasional treat, given the quality.
First, though, you have to find it. It’s tucked away in the second floor of the Pratt Street Inner Harbor Mall, just North of the tarot reader. Sure, it’s a tourist trap, but if the ice cream isn’t half bad, I couldn’t care less.
If you want decent full-​fat (no low-​fat health yogurt stuff) ice cream, and you’re in the vicinity of the U.S.S. Constellation and the Maryland Science Center, AND you’re not a cheapskate, then, heck, why not? :)

I love this ice cream parlor. Everything is made onsite. The ice cream, waffle cones and all the brownies and pies. They make the most decadent chocolate hazelnut shake I have ever tried. Good thing I don’t live in Baltimore or this would be a weekly trip for me :-).

Good ice cream but will NEVER go there again! The staff was blasting some type of rap music that dropped an f-​bomb several times!!! Unreal! I had to say something to the staff about the music and the fact that I had three children under the age of 8 in there with me. Once told to change the musicthe staff just looked at me like the request was out of order and took their good old time in changing the song. DO NOT GO HERE if this is the type of staff they hire!!! And yes, we did call their customer support number…

Kinda-​sorta like Coldstone, Marble Slab is located in the Pratt Street (2^nd Floor) abuilding of the Inner Harbor tourist trap, I mean tourist destination.
My 5 year old and a friend’s 3 year old LOVED their double-​dark chocolate with rainbow sprinkles (mixins). What a delicious mess.
My friend had a mixture of Sweet cream icecream with caramel and reeses peanut butter cups mixed in.
I tasted the «French Toast» ice cream — and it was good — a sweet mapley-​base with a pinch of cinnamon and an eggy-​ness. Great to taste — but I don’t think I could eat a whole bowl of it. They also make fresh waffle coines — which smelled terrific.
A fun place to take the kiddies — and yes — way, way expensive. (Kiddie cup/​cone is $ 3.50 or so)

This place is on the second floor of a little shopping mall on the Inner harbor near the USS Constellation. I was here in fifth grade on a school trip and decided to get a scoop of Strawberry. It was creamy, yet still hard serve. The scoops are very generous– 1 Marble Slab scoop= 2 realistic scoops, etc. The flavor was intense but not too sweet, and it was for sure under-​priced– this in a sugar cone was around $ 3. Feeling bad, I tipped them for their trouble. Beware that it’s a little messy, but who’s going to complain? Again– the strawberry is to die for.

The ice cream was ok. I got some cake ice cream, and my friend got a chocolate shake. The server was really slow and really grumpy though.

I was definitely yearning some «real» ice cream. Notice I say real, because I wasn’t looking for anything fat free or sugar free, nor even yogurt. Marble Slab is anything but healthy. It’s also across the skywalk from the Renaissance Harbour hotel I stayed at.
I ordered the white chocolate raspberry with caramel and nuts. Mmmm… devine! Marble Slab is very similar to Cold Stone Creamery, because the ice cream has a heavy, creamy texture, which is decadent.
Unfortunately, the next closest Marble Slab is in Gaithersburg, because I would definitely go back.
