39 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!“

“The best gelato I have ever had! So tasty! Excellent texture! Incredible choice of flavors! Friendy employees! We will be back and we are over 5 hours away! Well done Golden Gelato!“

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.

“Great choices for the ice cream lover who also Loves coffee“

“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.“

“Just a classic, neighborhood whippy dip.
I've gone to this dairy corner my whole life amd it's just as good now as the first time I had it as a little kid!

Parking: Parking lot is VERY small.
On a busy day/night the lot fills rather quickly“

“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❤️“

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

“Great place for ice cream.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“clean and efficient store“

“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.“

“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.“

“We love everything about you!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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**“

“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.“

“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 went here to try the turmeric shot and it was very delicious and refreshing. I plan to come back for more. The lady at the counter was really nice and even explained how to activate and take the turmeric shot which I found extremely helpful since I’d never tried one before.“
