Wow! This ice cream was so freaking good. Coffee and pastries were amazing as well. Super nice folks there too. I can’t wait to come back.

With friendly service and a cozy atmosphere, Red Bean is the perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings with their irresistible ice cream creations.

Ah, The Red Bean. I love this place so much. I’m not a huge ice cream person, but I could eat this everyday. I order chocolate ice cream with the strawberry oreo combination in a waffle cone. It’s SO good. You can choose chocolate or vanilla, and then your mix ins -there are so many options! Anytime I go to Annapolis, I go here. There are a lot of ice cream options downtown, but if you don’t pick red bean, then you’re missing out. It’s such a special place!

The ice cream was amazing and the workers were very welcoming. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice. Definitely recommend this place for some good dessert!

The go- to ice cream spot for me since Annapolis Ice Cream was rebranded. It just has not felt the same and so I wanted to try a new spot and Red Bean is a great spot with some great ice cream! You make your own ice cream, pick a base, pick two toppings, and they give you a pretty hefty portion for each size. (A lot if you end up getting a waffle cone). Also pretty fairly priced!

This place is great! Air conditioning was on blast yesterday, which I appreciated. Clean bathroom for customers.

There is even a fantastic little selection of nondairy ice creams, which I *think* are a plain coconut base, swirled with whatever flavor you would like. My partner had peanut butter and I chose cinnamon dark chocolate chili. It had a little kick to the end of it. We also enjoyed chilled rosemary infused lemonade—we wanted to try the honey lavender lemonade but they were out as of yesterday.

There are gifts and local art lining the walls. We will be back!

Wow! wow! wow! I would drive all the way from Fairfax Virginia to come to this place again! They have so many flavors and variety with tons of mix-ins. You can get your ice cream on a large waffle cone for a dollar to complete your dessert. So delicious! They also have non-dairy options! They have non-dairy affogato as well that is so incredible! The non-dairy espresso almond flavor is so good with crunchy almonds inside! Their ice cream is so delicious and not overly sweet. If you come to Annapolis, this is definitely a place to visit and have great coffee and ice cream.

This is my favorite ice cream place. The ice cream is so creamy and you can’t go wrong with any of the topping choices. Affogato is delicious too!!

This place is great, the service quick, friendly and efficient. I amazed how they made 2minute fresh ice cream with fresh cream & fresh fruits. Simply delicious, lovely varieties of ice cream. Thank you for providing great services to everyone. Keep up great work.

Didn't even have the coffee, but the ice cream is AMAZING. They blend all the ingredients you pick for your ice cream in this industrial mixer that really brings everything together. The ice cream was super soft, and my wife and I vow to go back here as soon as we reach Annapolis again!

I was looking for a coffee shop in downtown Annapolis and i was very happy to find this place.
The staff was very friendly and I ordered a regular cappuccino which was great and reasonably priced.
I certainly want to back!

Love the ice cream here! The service is excellent and orderly. They write down your order and have an organized assembly line to make the ice cream. And the staff are friendly. Easily the best ice cream in Annapolis, in my opinion.

The person working the counter was very nice and provided prompt service. The atmosphere is quaint but more so ice cream parlor than coffee shop. It’s basically soft serve made to order with vanilla or chocolate ice cream and your choice of mix-ins. If you’re looking for ice cream by the scoop/cone then this is not for you. It was pricy but the serving size was appropriate for the money. Did not try the coffee. IMO best ice cream in Annapolis. Will most definitely be back!

This has become my home away from home during the 2019 legislative session. All the specialty drinks are so good you'll have trouble getting a plain (boring) coffee. Super nice staff. Beautiful interior. And today I finally tried a sandwich, which was spectacular!!

I can't imagine getting coffee anywhere else in Annapolis!

Great coffee, deserts, and held onto my in laws sunglasses for us as we ran around town trying to find them after we lost them! Great service, kind staff, highly reccomend the affogato!

I like the concept of two simple flavors (chocolate or vanilla) and then choose your mix-ins. The ice cream is delicious and the variety of toppings is wonderful! The seating in the front windows is a cool touch.

What a UNIQUE ice cream experience!! The whole process of making this ice cream was an adventure! It’s like cold stone but instead of scoops it’s like soft serve! So delicious- I got the salted banana Oreo and it was one of the best ice creams I’ve ever had!! Can’t wait to go back! The waffle cones were great as well!

It is GREAT!😍 Beast ice cream place here for me. The ice cream is so creamy and thick. And you can mix your own flavor! I chose peach and green tea mix with vanilla base.

Awesome unique flavored icecream with the option of adding in herbs and spices. I ordered a waffle cone (freshly made) with vanilla ice cream blended with old bay spice and marshmallows which was kinda weird but not bad! I'd love to go back and try other flavour combinations.

Very nice atmosphere with nice employees.the coffee and the pastries were so good.i will go back again.if you are in the area check this place!!!!
