If there’s one thing Tica the Golden Retriever, Chief Happiness Officer for the Brad Kappel Team, knows best, it’s where to find the tastiest treats around the Chesapeake Bay! Whether you’re strolling the streets of historic Annapolis, enjoying a sunny day in Severna Park, or heading out for a sweet stop in Edgewater, there’s no shortage of pup-friendly places serving ice cream and pup cups that both people and pets will love.
Here are Tica’s top picks for ice cream and pup cups in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County:
1. Bean Rush Café – West Annapolis
A local favorite for coffee, snacks, and dog-friendly vibes, Bean Rush Café is one of Tica’s go-to stops in West Annapolis. They always greet pups with a smile (and sometimes a whipped cream treat!), and the outdoor seating is perfect for relaxing with your furry friend.
2. Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard – Multiple Locations
Tica is a big fan of Rita’s! With locations in Annapolis, Severna Park, and Edgewater, it’s easy to swing by for a frozen treat and grab a pup cup with whipped cream. Perfect after a long walk or boat day on the Bay.
3. Kilwins – Downtown Annapolis
Located on Main Street in the heart of historic Annapolis, Kilwins offers delicious ice cream, hand-paddled fudge, and pet-friendly vibes. Their staff often has a pup cup ready for dogs passing by. Tica loves stopping here after her downtown walks.
4. Storm Bros. Ice Cream Factory – City Dock, Annapolis
A classic scoop shop with waterfront views, Storm Bros. is a must-visit for both locals and tourists. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor benches, and many regulars know to ask for a special treat for their four-legged companions.
5. Annapolis Ice Cream – Downtown Annapolis
This locally loved shop on Main Street serves small-batch, handcrafted ice cream with bold flavors and big scoops. Tica loves walking down to City Dock while her humans enjoy a cone. Staff are always happy to offer a small pup cup on request.

With multiple locations throughout Anne Arundel County, Always Ice Cream is a convenient stop during your treks around Anne Arundel County. Many of their spots have outdoor seating and are happy to treat four-legged guests with a pup cup topped with a dog treat while you enjoy your favorite flavor.
7. The Red Bean | Ice Cream & Coffee – Main Street, Annapolis
A local favorite for both coffee and homemade ice cream, Red Bean is nestled almost at the top of Main Street at Church Circle, and perfect for a post-walk treat. Tica loves the welcoming staff and outdoor cafe seating, and the pup cups are always a hit.
