About Sweet Finishes

Sweet Finishes is the ice cream shop Columbia MD residents have been waiting for — a place where community, comfort, and quality all meet in one scoop. Founded by local entrepreneurs Calvin Smith and Tosha Clark, Sweet Finishes opened its doors on December 1, 2025, right here at Columbia Marketplace on Snowden River Pkwy. What began as a frozen yogurt franchise became something much bigger the moment Calvin and Tosha decided to break free and build a shop that truly reflects what their neighbors crave.

The Sweet Finishes story is rooted in listening. When customers kept asking for more variety beyond just frozen yogurt, Calvin and Tosha took action — exiting their franchise agreement and launching their own independent brand in the same beloved location. Today, the shop features around 30 flavors of ice cream and frozen yogurt, a welcoming atmosphere, and two 50-inch video screens showcasing the full menu of sweet possibilities.

Whether you stop in after dinner with the family or treat yourself solo on a weekday afternoon, every visit is designed to feel like a special occasion. Sweet Finishes believes the best desserts are not rushed — they are shared.

This used to be the old TCBY that was located on Snowden. It’s in the same place, but their variety of sorbet, yogurt, and homemade ice cream choices are exceptionally awesome! The owners are a husband and wife team, who were more than welcoming and inviting. It was the perfect place to end our anniversary. We both had Sundays that were really good. I had an apple pie based ice cream. Where is my wife had a chocolate concoction of awesomeness! This may definitely be our new go to spot for ice cream in the future

I was pleasantly surprised to find that Sweet Finishes now occupies the old TCBY space. With a more diverse variety of yogurts and ice cream, even a few NSA (no sugar added), and Vegan choices, there is a delightful cold treat for everyone. As I sit here enjoying my $1.99 Waffle Cone Wednesday cone with a scoop of Pretzel Sundae ice cream, I am already planning to make this a frequent summer day stop to support this local small business. 😋 Who could pass up a tasty treat from a local business that is " built on the belief that something sweet can brighten a day and bring people together."🍦🍨🍧☕️

Rebranded from TCBY, and made it so much better! The lemon bar ice cream is divine and dreamsicle tastes like childhood in a cone. The owners are inviting and super sweet. 10/10 will be back!

Warm, friendly and inviting from the moment I entered. Plenty of options esp. nondairy. I had the delicious nondairy chocolate chunk in a crispy waffle cone. Reasonably priced. Definitely coming back; worth the visit for small business.

Best ice cream I've had in a long time! The sea salt caramel is incredible — made with ingredients from a local farm, and you can really taste the difference that natural, high-quality ingredients make. They have a great lineup of unique flavors beyond the classics too. What really impressed us: my son has dairy allergies, and their vegan chocolate chunk was just as delicious as the dairy options. It's great to see a shop that doesn't treat allergy-friendly options as an afterthought. Highly recommend — this is a must-visit if you're in the area!
