45 Best Ice Cream Shops near Fort Thomas

“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!“

“Amazing people making incredible sweet goodness!!! Literally the best.“

“We go multiple times a month when it's open. It's just that good. I recommend the walking tacos, coneys and chocolate shakes. Everything is consistently good unlike most restaurants these days.“

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

“We were on a girls vacation and I googled Ice Cream Shop and found this one. sooooo cute and delicious. wish y'all had a store in AL. ♥️🐝🍦“

“The young man who waited on my mom and I this afternoon was great. He was patient as my mom made a decision after I read some choices for her. Her dementia makes it hard for her to make simple choices, but the young man was very patient and show no signs of rushing us or being aggravated in waiting. Luckily no one else was in line. I also told the young man how much I appreciated his patience with her. Cudos to him!“

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

“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. ?)“

“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.“

“The Best ice cream in the world and a fun time at Dog’s Night Out!“

“This place was sooo cute !!! The lady that was working the cashier / ice cream was super sweet and relatable and their popcorn brittle and gooey cake dough was top tier!! If anything must try the popcorn brittle and caramel apple. Two very different flavors. If you like a calm sweet go for the popcorn if you like a big surprise… try the apple! Must try place if you’re in town.“

“Owners and family are kind and food is good Mom n pop places are the best“

“Stopped here for a tasty treat after a golf round with my grandson. It was close by and a refreshing treat. The service was quick. The wait staff were pleasant. The pricing was reasonable. The shakes were very good.
Stop by for a tasty treat.“

“I love Graeter’s ice cream to begin with. This location is very large a lot of seating and there is a children’s play area. However, the parking is very limited. Also has a drive-through option. Everything is reasonably priced and very tasty. I highly recommend the boldly bear cat. You can buy ice cream and other tasty treats. I saw some cakes too.“

“Honey Child puts so much thought and pizzazz into their recipes that there's a flavor combination on their menu for everyone!“

“Great place for ice cream.“

“We love everything about you!“

“Best Ice Cream in Cincinnati !“

“Their Gelato is great! Highly recommend!“

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

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

“We’re not from here but came to this cute place! We got malts & edible cookie dough! Sketchy part of town but delish!“

“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❤️“

“Good ice cream at a fair price“

“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.“

“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!“

“Their cookies are so good!

Vegetarian options: Their cookies don’t have meat so they’re vegetarian.

Kid-friendliness: I mean kids love cookies plus they have new small cookies so it’s perfect for kids.“

“Nothing like my Dad's hometown favorite, a Grater's Chess Pie!!! My daughter has some extra creamy Reddi Whip and this was an excellent option for breakfast.
Thank you Grater's, brings back so many fond childhood memories with my Father in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio!!!“

“Had Johnnys out for our company picnic and nothing but great things to say. Easy to work with, prompt on arrival, setup and ready to serve our employees on time. Very reasonable pricing. Most importantly their ice-cream and shaved iced was nothing short of delicious! Would defiantly recommend and consider for our future events!“

“Best ice cream company that exists!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“clean and efficient store“

“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.“

“This place seems to be crowded everytime I visit, but the line moves fairly fast. It is a treat's only location, so no food is offered, other than ice cream treats. Sometimes the line can be unorganized, so it is best to ask where the end of the line is, so you don't get skipped!

Parking: Parking lot can get congested at times, and people backing out usually have a treat to contend with. So, be extra cautious when parking and leaving the lot.“

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

“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?“

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