49 Best Ice Cream Shops near Fort Thomas

“This is the cutest place the middle of downtown! The service was friendly- everything we ordered was fresh and one of a kind. The cookie dough flurry was something we’ve never had and it didn’t disappoint- it’s a mix between soft serve ice cream and cookies dough. The cookie dough scoop was golden by itself and so was their soft serve regular ice cream was just as good. We also ended up with their hot cocoa- was just “ok” but still good. Visit this place- you won’t be sorry!“

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

“The only complaint I have with the crumbl cookie in anderson was that they are closed on Sunday and I didnt know that lol. I drove 40 mins to be disappointed. But that was my fault and nothing to do with them. The store is always clean the staff are always pleasant. 5 stars“

“We love everything about you!“

“Great after dinner treat ! Got the vanilla ice cream brownie sundae and besides the brownie bites weren't bigger it was just like the old fashioned soft serve ice cream I remember when I was growing up!
Snack hack 101- It's cash only here but they do have an ATM on the side of the building“

“Stopped on in for a little treat, and the employees were super nice! I sampled the darkest chocolate, the Texas sheet cake, and their seasonal wild berry lavender. The person helping me, (I'm sorry I didn't catch their name), was so sweet and helpful. Everything was clean and stocked up as well. I personally recommend the darkest chocolate for a decadent sweet!“

“Love that it’s hard Ice cream and not soft served“

“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 quintessential ice cream gathering place in St. Bernard right on Vine Street near Roger Bacon high School. Super friendly local staff, nice outdoor tables to eat at, they keep the place clean, community oriented, and super welcoming and friendly. I recommend the banana split -- a classic.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oakley Crumbl is hands down one of my favorite stops! Their Dr. Pepper dirty soda (with cherry, vanilla, and heavy cream) is absolute perfection—it’s my go-to every time. And the cookies? Amazing doesn’t even begin to cover it. We’ve honestly never tried a flavor we didn’t love. Every week feels like a new treat and they never disappoint. So glad to have this spot close by!“

“First time in this location So far my daughter is loving it“

“Great service and delicious soft serve ice cream with friendly staff.“

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

“Their Gelato is great! Highly recommend!“

“I have discovered that the Dairy Queen in Latonia/Covington has lower prices than the Dairy Queen Highland Pike in Ft. Wright near Walmart. I believe it is because the one in Latonia is privately owned. I paid about 2 dollars more at Dairy Queen on Highland Pike for a milkshake than I do at my local location on Decoursey Ave across the street from Latonia Liquors and this location has a bench or picnic tables where you can sit and enjoy your ice cream without taking it in your vehicle. Yes, they do have a drive thru also... if you're in a rush or have somewhere else to be. The associates are generally quick to get you in and out of the drive thru. Just be extra cautious when exiting the lot because it's a busy road and there are pedestrians crossing often and waiting in line at the walk up window.
The associates are friendly as well!“

“This place is the best.“

“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!“

“Great Soft Serve, My Dog loves it and The staff are super nice everytime we go there“

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

“Employees are so helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is one of relaxation and feeling safe. What a great place to go for any occasion. They have things other than ice cream, too. I love the buckeyes, but they also have cookies and other chocolate candy.“

“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.“

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

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

“Great place for ice cream.“

“I love this place its so so so so GOOD and yummy and cool and funny and kind and awesome and tubularly“

“The girl that greeted us had dark hair (black I believe) I should’ve gotten her name. I was going in to pick up a testing cookie-Pumpkin cheesecake, with my 3 young kids. I’m someone who’s easily stressed and wanted this to be a quick in and out type of deal, we came 10 minutes early so I was expecting to wait but nope it was ready! We also ended up buying the cookies and cream cake. The cashier/baker was the sweetest though, even if the cookies had been terrible we’d come back to see her.

The pumpkin cheesecake was delicious, right amount of cheesecake and pumpkin flavor with the graham cracker crumbl on top. I was so excited this was at the location near us. Thank you!!!!!“

“The staff was wonderfully friendly! The people make this place a must go!
The Banana Shake is a work of art.
We bought one of every cookie and currently working our way through them.
Nana's Strawberry cookie is hands down a fav so far. I'm going back for more.“

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

“Graeter's in Mariemont is one of my favorite spots to grab ice cream. The location itself has such a great small town feel, it's right in the heart of Mariemont and fits the vibe perfectly. I'm usually a creature of habit and always order chocolate, but I decided to branch out and try the Apple Strudel since it just came out. So glad I did. It had these amazing cinnamon apple chunks and little pastry pieces mixed in, tasted just like an actual strudel. Staff was friendly and the line moved quickly even though it was busy.“

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

“I’m impressed with the fresh ingredients, consistent high quality, great taste, and very pleasant staff.“

“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.“

“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❤️“

“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.“

“We came to Simply Rolled after our daughter performed in the Nutcracker at SCPA. This was our first time experiencing this style of ice cream creation and WOW! The associate (I didn’t want to misspell her name but it starts with a “N”) was extremely nice and helpful, she even wrote a congratulatory message on our daughter’s cup! Thank you for making our first experience memorable! 💚“

“I had their popsicles at an event and they were PERFECT for a summer event! I had an orange one and it was so creamy and delicious!“
