“Great ice cream, amazing number of flavors and nice people. Try the Kinder cones.“

“The ice cream and experience were fantastic! The perfect place to stop for a sweet treat to celebrate, or just to brighten your day. The service was wonderful, the owners are so kind, radiating joy and passion. Everything I’ve had here is amazing. The cookie dough is nostalgic, the ice cream is creamy and perfectly sweet. Don’t even get me started on the shakes! They’re some of the best I’ve ever had. I’m not a fan of coffee even but the Java whip knocked my socks off! The atmosphere is the cherry on top, eclectic, cute, and inviting. If I could, I’d be there everyday!“

“If you’re an ice cream lover like I am, then you’ve likely heard about the sumptuous creations from Jeni’s Ice Cream. Recently, I had the pleasure of trying out their newest location, and let me tell you, it has quickly become my go-to spot for a sweet treat!

From the moment you step into Jeni’s, you’re greeted by a vibrant and inviting atmosphere that perfectly reflects the fun and memorable experience that the ice cream promises. The selection of flavors is nothing short of extraordinary. They push the boundaries of traditional ice cream, featuring both classic and unique options that cater to every palate. Whether you’re in the mood for a comforting scoop of Green Mint Chip or something more adventurous like their Biscuits & Peach Jam, there is something to intrigue everyone.

What truly sets Jeni’s apart is their commitment to quality. The ingredients are exceptionally sourced, and you can taste the difference with every creamy, rich bite. It’s clear that no corners are cut; each flavor is thoughtfully crafted to deliver a luxurious experience. Yes, the prices might be a tad higher than your average ice cream joint, but the quality you receive completely justifies the cost. It’s not just ice cream; it’s a gourmet experience!

Before Jeni’s opened its doors locally, I used to drive all the way to Columbus just to enjoy their delectable offerings. Having this top-notch ice cream available in my hometown has been a game-changer. It feels like a true gift to our community, making special occasions even sweeter and ordinary days feel a little more indulgent.

In conclusion, Jeni’s Ice Cream is a delightful addition that elevates our local food scene. With its incredible flavor variety, premium ingredients, and commitment to excellence, it’s easy to understand why it has become a beloved favorite. Whether you’re having a rough day or just in the mood for something special, make sure to treat yourself to the deliciousness that is Jeni’s – this gem is worth every penny!“

“The employees were so welcoming and friendly. The food was absolutely amazing!! I will absolutely be back!“

“One of my favorites. Plenty of seating and it's always clean. The staff are friendly and engaging. This is a larger location. Attached party room / play area. Parking is a challenge. Hands down the world's greatest ice cream. Donuts and other treats look tempting, but always good ice cream. More expensive than some other options, the quality reflects the price and the portions are generous.
If they are hosting birthday parties, you will struggle to find a parking space.“

“We booked the Hello Honey ice cream cart for our wedding reception, and it was an absolute hit! We couldn’t recommend their service for events more. Having three custom flavors alongside one of their signature menu options made for a unique and delicious treat that our guests couldn’t stop raving about. Not only was the ice cream itself incredible, but the cart added such a fun, interactive element to our reception. It was the perfect way to share a taste of local Cincinnati flavor with our out-of-town guests, and they loved it! If you’re looking for a memorable, crowd-pleasing addition to your event, Hello Honey’s ice cream cart is the way to go!“

“My mother took me to this location when I was a girl and the staff was great offering samples and shop was clean. Of course the ice cream was absolutely amazing! Wonderful memories❤️“

“Great place for ice cream.“

“A real ice cream treat. Unique fresh flavors and light taste. please support this local creamery.“

“In Hamilton we love having Aglamesis. Friendly competent service, great ice cream and chocolates. We wish you much success ….“

“I love the mocha latte it’s so delicious and they were very nice 10/10 recommend“

“clean and efficient store“

“Incredible ice cream as rated by a total ice cream snob. I ordered a scoop of s'mores which was massive. Every component was delicious. Two benches outside to sit on. Staff were lovely. Would recommend for an ice cream and walk afternoon.“

“This is a chain ice cream store in the Crestview Hills outdoor shopping center. They have all of ice cream essentials like chocolate, vanilla, etc as well as some crazier options such as the one I tried. It was the Birthday Cake Remix. It comes with cake batter ice cream, brownie, fudge, and of course rainbow sprinkles. I didn't really get much birthday cake effect but the brownie and fudge more than make this a delicious treat. Even better I got it in a waffle cone which was crispy, tasty, and delectable. While there are more exciting local dessert joints this is always a solid choice.“

“Love that you went back to not having coconut oil in your peppermint ice cream! I can safely have it again. Also your staff didn't get mad when I asked if I could have it as the holiday milkshakes knowing that they would have to clean the blender first. He even double checked all ingredients to make sure nothing had coconut in it for me. This is service that I have not had at Graeter's in a long, long time.

Dietary restrictions: See comments above. Thank you for making it safe to have an old holiday treat again.“

“Mariemont is one of the cutest cities in Ohio and of course they have Cincinnati's iconic ice cream! My boyfriend and I love to ride our bikes here and grab some ice cream! My go to is the Cookie Monster Sundae! I don't see it on every Graeters menu, but I see it here, and it's my favorite! We love the atmosphere and bench seating outside!

Parking: Great easy parking across the street and around surrounding street parking. All around cross walks too.“

“My first time here I got an Orange-Banana shake and a Peach-Mango aloe tea. They taste amazing and are super refreshing! I highly recommend them, but there are SO MANY options and flavor combos to choose from, so you'll definitely find something you like.This place also has fantastic customer service and very friendly staff.Check this place out if you haven't yet!“

“The ice cream is fantastic! The black cherry chip and butter pecan is a must!!! The staff was very friendly.“

“Great customer service! My daughter had a pretty bad wipe out in the rain today before coming into the Taylor mill store today. She had a petty nasty scrapes on her knees and elbow. She was in tears and one of sweet workers came over with some cute animal bandaids and a few stickers for all the kids. She was so sweet to my daughter, she was instantly in a better mood after that and it took her mind off her scraped up knees and elbows. I hope she gets recognized for being so kind and her great customer service skills.The milk shakes were also delicious!“

“We love everything about you!“

“Very yummy cookies!! Employees extremely friendly. Nice, bright clean atmosphere😊“

“Best dessert place there is! I have bought the 4oz minis for 2 family functions and they are always hit! We especially love the banana puddings! Not to mention the brownies are to die for!! Perfect tasty bites that remain me of the corners of the brownie pan! Can’t wait to try the shakes and cookies next!!“

“I like Crumbl, I was glad to see a semi-sweet chocolate chip cookie with pecans this week, but a little disappointed that I can barely see any pecans in the cookie. I really hope there are more hiding inside the cookie. Why is it that the samples on the counter always look better than the ones you receive in your box?“

“👌Thanks fpr another good time..!!!!“

“Best ice cream company that exists!“

“There is a more limited selection of ice cream and higher prices than you would find at a normal Graeter's but the seating area is super cute and totally original to the building. All Rookwood tiles! It wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon despite the larger museum being crowded. The hours are different from the larger museum so plan your trip accordingly.“

“I like ice cream very much. I aways went there last year, this year the ice cream is so soft the frist time there in a few months, it was so soft iit almost fell off the cone. I fave them another chance two months later, the ice cream so soft it was no fun trying to eat. I wont go back“

“Stopped in Wednesday after hearing great things about the cookies. The employee greeted me with a big smile and she was so polite. The store was spotless but best of all these cookies were amazing!!!!!! Not good —-AMAZING! The strawberry was so good I almost wrestled my co-worker for the last one.If you haven’t stopped in or placed an order you should do so immediately. They would make a great gift for graduates, new home owners, new parents etc. if my family/friends see this my birthday is in October and cookies are a great idea. :-)**Vegan options available**“

“This is a dandy little half Dunkin Donuts half Baskin Robbins in a little strip mall close to Buttermilk Pike. This location specializes in ice cream it seems so that's what I went with (besides ice cream.) I went with the most unique flavour I could find; Bubblegum. It was ultra sweet as you might expect with definite bubblegum flavour there. They also had small little jellybean like candies inside the ice cream to add even more bubblegum taste. I got the two scoops in a sugar cone to finish a very sugary but delicious dessert. Thumbs up.“

“This place is a Florence landmark. Today, I had a Black Raspberry Shake and a Big Burr. So good!!!“

“Consistently Exceptional Service at Nekter – Thanks to Alex! For the past six years, I've visited Nekter five days a week, making it more than just a juice bar for me—it's a part of my daily routine. Today, I feel compelled to write this review, not just because of Nekter's consistently delicious offerings, but to highlight an extraordinary employee who makes every visit unforgettable—Alex. From the moment you meet Alex, it's clear he's not your average employee. His infectious smile and genuine enthusiasm are evident from the get-go. Alex's approach to service is unmatched; he truly makes you feel like a friend, not just a customer. He remembers my name, asks about my day, and our conversations never feel rushed or routine. It's rare to encounter someone who exudes such natural charisma and joy in their work. Alex’s exceptional customer service has profoundly impacted my experience at Nekter. His attention to detail and consistent friendliness enhance the already welcoming atmosphere of the store. Whether it's his quick service, insightful recommendations, or just a cheerful greeting, Alex consistently goes above and beyond. Nekter itself deserves praise for its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, but it's employees like Alex who breathe life into this ethos. His dedication is a significant reason why I keep coming back and why each visit is as enjoyable as the last. For anyone looking for not just a great juice or smoothie but a genuinely delightful service experience, head to Nekter and see Alex. You’ll understand why it’s more than just a place to grab a drink—it’s a highlight of the day, thanks to people like him.“

“The lady working here was so nice to my 3 year old and I, helping us find a flavor he might enjoy since he's the only child I know that doesn't like ice cream lol. Thank you for your help and kindness. Need more people like this in the world.“

“ordering through the app was quick and easy, as was pickup. my smoothie was delicious!“
