Graeter's Ice Cream

I've been a customer for at least the past 55 years. I was always happy to pay more for the quality and quantity of ice cream compared to say, UDF. Unfortunately, the quantity of ice cream has gone down along with the quality of other offerings. An affliction shared with almost all other restaurants these days; I just expected more from Graeter's. Even though the ice cream is still the best around, I'm opting to keep more of my money and curtailing my visits.

This place was good last year but not as good this year. The pumpkin ice cream had ice crystals in it and the Buckeye Blitz was a little soupy. Friendly staff and clean store but the ice cream could be better.

Go here, get a chip flavor!
Always a new or seasonal flavor.

On vacay and trying some ice cream. Found this place and WOW! I love this. It's great, Buckeye Blitz and Boldly Bearcat...I like chocolate. Good stuff. Lots of other items for sale and it was very busy. Seating inside and outside. They whole family can enjoy treats including your pup as they have sweets for them too. And for the nostalgic kid in you, they offer "Helmet Sundaes"

First Graeter's experience and it won't be our last. Body Bearcat, Birthday Cake, and black Raspberry were all favorites in our group! The baked goods looked phenomanl, and insanely cheap, but we were full from ice cream (next time!)

I've been to many diff locations from the Cincy area up to Dayton and ask the employees are helpful and friendly. The ice cream is the best around that I have tried, especially the S'mores, my favorite. My issue is the price and that's only because it seems like the scoops keep getting smaller. Either way I would recommend, so do yourself a favor and stop at one of the many locations and try it, I doubt to will be disappointed.

Deliciousness Galore!

Homemade ice cream, cookies, chocolate or cakes. The flavors may vary by season. My adult recommendations are Bourbon Pecan, Black Raspberry or the Peach.

It can be very hectic and busy depending on the time of day. Just stand back and take in the menu for a moment before you get in the line.

Parking: If you don't see a spot up front there is more parking behind the building and in additional areas close by.

Kid-friendliness: I see kids of all ages here. This place makes you feel like a kid again.

They have smaller cups for the youngest, all the way up to two scoop cones or banana splits for those with bigger appetite.

I am going out on a limb and will be giving this location five stars. Despite my hesitation anything less would be unfair. On numerous occasions they have refused to pour their malts and shakes directly into my wife's mouth, I am doing my best to be understanding given both sides of the conflict. The truth is I am just fearful of what will happen should she not get a sweet treat. She is a peaceful and kind woman but when she is denied her affogato she takes her frustrations out on me and our household furniture. She once elbow dropped me from the roof of the house when she didn't get her vanilla bean malt. It was my fault for anticipating her needs. Thank you Graeter's for keeping me safe.
