Cash only and they have snobby college kids that work there. Ive been twice since they reopened and both times I was the only person in line and had to wait over a minute for someone to acknowledge me. There was four or five kids working and they were too busy playing on their cell phones to help. When they did help they acted like they didnt want to be there or want me there. I live in Ellicott City but Ill drive to Mt Airy and go to Jimmie Cone from now on for soft serve ice cream. Yeah they give you a lot for your money but, the staff treats you like hot garbage. Not worth the extra ice cream to be treated so poorly.

This place used to be a staple in the community. Now its a loose paperclip.... They have no toppings anymore besides childish sprinkles and gummy bears. The most notable change is the chocolate ice cream... It has some sort of like... Weird, gritty, chewy bits in it. IDK... Might be like cookie bits or something. But it gave the ice cream a strange texture and was just way under par. Ill just let this place remain a memory of my childhood because it Just. Aint. The. Same.

The staff doesnt care that you are there. They are college students who want you to go away so they can go back to doing homework. We were not welcomed. They dont accept debit or credit cards. The window between the customer and the cashier is awkward if youre taller than 511. They also do not serve mint chocolate chip ice cream. Yes they give you a lot of ice cream for the money, but its mediocre. If you want quantity over quality this place may be for you.

I remember visiting this place because one of my coworkers recommended me. I was trying to see if they make custom designed ice-creams. It was funny because I had to google the method of making my custom designed ice-cream and show them but they managed to make it. Only problem was that they did not take credit cards (that is why I give them 4 stars). So I had to go to ATM but it was worth the extra trip because the ice-cream I got was the best.

Im not impressed with a place that will rush you out the door 15 minutes before they close. And when they do close make sure to turn the light off. The owner was arguing with someone who wanted to come in because the neon OPEN was lit, but the window flip sign on the door said closed. He said, "I dont care what the light says, my door says closed!" BYE

Soft stuff is a great soft serve ice cream place. Its fairly simple, soft serve on a cone or in a cup with various toppings. The portions are very generous and there is nice outdoor seating area, inside us fairly small but its never really crowded enough to matter. The prices are very fair.

Great place to go for soft ice cream. The rest rooms are large and clean. The only issue for me is that they only except cash. This presents a problem because most people now a day only carry Credit cards. I hope this policy changes. If you have cash, I recommend this place to you.

Soft Stuff is great, but I feel like since theyve moved, the ice cream has changed a bit, nothing too much though, the ice cream is still excellent. The prices are nice, and the new location they have is a nice place, and the best is that it doesnt close during the winter anymore!

I love this place! They give you a good amount of ice cream for your money AND theyre soft serve is delicious!!! Theres usually a wait because they have the best ice cream and they give you the most for your money so its well worth the wait!!! They only accept CASH though.

Soft stuff was way better when it was still within the old forest motel that was here since the new location opened the ice cream hasnt been the same now dont get me wrong theres nothing wrong with the ice cream it just isnt as tastey as it used to be

Great soft serve ice cream. Warning: the portions here are LEGIT HUGE. I recommend getting a kids size or small. The menu can be a bit confusing as some of the flavors are in the ice cream and some are flavor blast.

Great local stop for soft serve ice cream. They have many flavors to choose from. Like many other neighborhood soft serve joints, this place gives you a lot of ice cream. Its cash only, so remember to bring some.

All the other reviews have to tell you its Cash Only because that is an absurd concept in 2016. It takes zero effort to accept credit - Im sure a 5 year old with a lemonade stand could work a square reader.

If I was brutally honest, Id say the soft serve was nothing special, but then Id be missing the point. Soft Stuff is a local institution. You know summers coming because Soft Stuff is finally open.

The dipped cones are pretty good but the lines are really slow and long during the warmer weather. The snowcones are okay but Ive gone twice and had to tell the staff what a rainbow snowcone is.

It was a wonderful summer excursion to go to Soft Stuff. We all got so much ice cream that it was a meal in itself and the ice cream was great!! We will definitely go back again and again!!

I miss the charm of the old location, but the new building allows year-round operation. Definitely get what you pay for as even a kids cone is enough for an adult. CASH ONLY

Its ok for a basic soft-serve ice cream place. Nothing really special except it has that old school soft-serve place feel to it. Loses a star simply because its cash only.

Ice cream was good. They only take cash and theres not an ATM in a nearby, convenient location. Also, we I was rushed out prior to closing time. Probably wont return.

“Just basic ice cream from these guys. They don’t have a lot of flavors to choose from. Their service is great. Their prices are also quite low.”

Really good ice cream, soft kind, with lots of flavors to choose from! Prices vary but are reasonable. Cheaper than Baskin Robbins.

Our family loves this place on warm summer evenings! Mocha Cappuccino flavor ice cream is the best.

Rude waitstaff. Very poor experience at this place. I would not recommend this place to friends.

Flavoring is "painted" on vanilla soft serve in stripes. Not much to go out of your way for.

This is industrial crappie iced mixes topped with flavored syrup. Not good at all
