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.

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.

“Son un verdadero Gelato italiano, frescos y de calidad. Y lo mejor es la atención, te sientes como en casa.“

“We were passing through and it was recommended so we stopped in for some delicious ice cream on our road trip. Staff was very friendly and the ice cream was great. Lots of other sweet stuff is available and you can pick up containers of ice cream to go.“

“This was my second or third time in here. I enjoyed it so much, i had to introduce it to my brother. I told him the cookie dough would remind him of our childhood, and he agreed. The staff is extra friendly, the cookie dough and ice cream is delicious, I highly recommend checking it out!“

“This place has become a summertime staple in our household. It’s a perfect soft serve, and the hard shell is a must for me. I came here when I was a kid when it was a bakery. And I love bringing my kids here now as an adult. Love to support small businesses in my neighborhood. (The line is out the door every time we come, so the community shows this place lots of love. ?)“

“Outdoor seating only.
Bring cash because I don’t think that they take credit cards.
Full DQ treat menu, including ice cream sandwiches and Dilly bars.
Follow the ordering process. One single line of customers. When you are first in line, advance to the first open window.

It is kind of like going to confession. There is a physical screen you talk through and a window separating you from your treat.

When it is time to pay, the window is opened and you get your treat. “When the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs”.

Please excuse the Catholic analogies - this Dairy Queen is directly across the street from Roger Bacon high school.

Like I said above, bring CASH because I do T think they take credit cards. I might be wrong.

There is ample parking in back of the place, and it is easy to get in and out of here.

High school kid staff were warm and friendly and made me a perfect cone.

Love this place. Drove six miles to get here.“

“I love the seasonal peach ice cream. Outdoor tables make it easy to enjoy a socially distant treat.“

“the best hands down . Im so glad to stumbled upon it. it's hard to find decent ice spots“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Very consistent service and food, a location that takes the quality of the cookies seriously. Only complaint is not based on this specific location, but that Crumbl keeps raising the prices of their cookies. Otherwise, this is a good location if you're wanting to pick up some Crumbl.“

“Decided to stop for some ice cream with my son. They have a great menu, the girls behind the counter were very friendly and my milkshake was delicious. Parking is limited and they could use a couple more picnic tables. But it was very good and will be back!“

“We love everything about you!“

“Such a fun place! Old school mini golf with lots of fun things to see and two sets of holes to play. Reasonably priced and connected to an ice cream spot with tons of options. The golf courses have definitely seen better days, but that doesn't stop the fun!“

“The best ice cream parlor in the Cincinnati area since Battenwood's in 1980s Covington. I usually don't like ice cream all that much, but I did enjoy this Graeter's. It's especially enjoyable after you see a movie next door, and in my opinion on a rainy day as well. Mariemont has a very similar feel to Winnetka, Illinois, which is why I have always enjoyed it so much, and this Graeter's is definitely a big part of that enjoyment.“

“Great place for ice cream.“

“Came in 30min before close (I hate being that guy) but 3 ladies walked in so me and my friend went on in. Place was clean and people didn't seem to irritated about us coming in late. Me and my friend both got cones with 2 dips of ice cream. I don't think we was in there 5 minutes and out the door we went. Fast efficient service, and as usual ice cream was great!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“The cookies are so tasty!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“I absolutely love this little icecream parlor and Try to come here almost every time i visit the Museum center. It’s really cool sitting down and eating Icecream in this little historic room, surrounded by the beautiful Rookwood tiles and retro aesthetic. It’s almost like you’ve stepped back in time.

Dietary restrictions: It’s an Icecream parlor, there will be Dairy and Peanuts. If either is dangerous to you I cannot advise eating here but I still recommend checking it out.

Kid-friendliness: It’s an Icecream Parlor and thus very kid friendly.“

“Grater's Ice Cream in a unique art-deco setting, yes-please! The shop matches the rest of the look and feel of the Museum Center which is pretty cool and has a nice view of the Dinosaur's. We sere there on a Saturday so beware, they closed at 4 pm.“

“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**“
