50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Fort Wright

“Edit: My previous review was a negative one due to the service I received from a young teenage girl and the fact that it was around 8:30 p.m. and I think they were just trying to close for the evening and weren't interested in waiting on customers, but I have come to realize that's more of a teenager issue than an issue with this particular dairy Queen. I have since returned for another visit and found the staff to be incredibly helpful, kind, and courteous. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and have removed my previous review and replaced it with what I feel like is a more factual and up-to-date review.“

“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.“

“amazing flavors, textures, and service! we didn't want to go too crazy on the samples (we stopped by during vacation so it was a one time visit) and realized I didn't try nor order the banana pudding and asked for a sample. it was so amazing we got a pint to go that we had to finish by the next morning for checkout 😆“

“We got a Mocha Java Chip and a Classic Side by Side with Salted Carmel Truffle Ice Cream and Smores Cookie Dough. My lawd I could have a gallon or two more! Super rich, creamy, flavorful and the combo was fantastic! The shop vibe is more on the modern side but is comfy and nice! Perfect all around and we’d give more stars if we could!“

“I enjoyed an AMAZING mocha shake, served with a big smile! 😃“

“Zip Dip means summer! Best creamy whip and fun atmosphere with picnic tables and swings.“

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

“This place is so fun to come to!!! The ice cream options are fresh and delicious!! She had 8 flavors that did not include milk. You walk in and it's bright and fun!! Everything was so favorable! Do yourself a favor and visit. There are so many options that are out of the norm!!!“

“there ice cream and hot dogs“

“We love everything about you!“

“Fruitland is the best treat to hit Kentucky just the idea of real fresh fruit added to these delicious desserts makes the experience extremely enjoyable and the healthier snack alternative. I will add that there is something for anyone to enjoy my family of picky eaters were able to find something they all enjoyed. The staff provides a service similar to chic fil the nicest complete team and friendliest people you will ever meet. Try the mangonada I tried mines with strawberries and watermelon it was some of the best flavor profiles I've ever eaten 😋 🫶🏾❤️“

“I used to come here when I was a kid! My favorite ice cream is the Mocha Chip!!!“

“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“

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

“Best ice cream company that exists!“

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

“Great coffee and selection of ice cream!☕️🍦“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is the cutest soft serve ice cream shop and i am so glad it opened! I have gone a few times, and the soft serve is so yummy and the milkshakes are fantastic!! The staff is always so friendly and I love how dog friendly they are!! I highly recommend it if you are craving a sweet treat!“

“The custard is delicious and the staff is great! A good place to go for a yummy treat.“

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

“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.“

“One of our favorite ice cream shops. We were in town to visit family, had dinner in the courtyard, which is fantastic because you can get great beer, pizza, and then head here to Graeter's to grab dessert.

As usual, everyone got different flavors. The kids kept it simple with vanilla and cotton candy. The adults got Toffee chip, salted caramel, and several other flavors—and everyone loved every single one.

It’s fair to say Graeter’s is batting 1.000 when it comes to ice cream. For what it’s worth, my brother always said it was his favorite during his medical residency in Columbus. It’s an Ohio/Kentucky staple, and for good reason.

We’ll definitely be back...again...we always do.“

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

“👌Thanks fpr another good time..!!!!“

“Their Gelato is great! Highly recommend!“

“Today was my first trying their ice cream and it was AMAZING! I will definitely be going back. I highly recommend trying it.“

“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“

“Charming little spot for ice cream and fun with the family. Dated, but in a funny way. We like the QR code scan setup that allows you to track your score along with your other players. We have come a few times already this year and will be back for many many more!!!“

“The staff is super friendly and attentive. I tried the tamarind popsicle and it was very good. I will be visiting soon to try more flavors and snacks. Y un esquite, y un hotdog y todo quiero probar!!!“

“Best ice cream company that exists!“

“clean and efficient store“

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

“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❤️“

“I had just finished a bowl of chili further up the concourse.And there and my gate eight thirteen was an ice cream shop that I never heard of I was in a bad mood and not looking forward to a long flight with every seat full. The female employee there was very chipper and obviously proud of her company sharing with me that it was a regional family owned business and even suggesting favorite flavors. She apologized for being out of whip cream but gave me 3 cherries.Instead on my sunday I must suggest the cinnamon ice cream with butterscotch topping.“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“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.“

“When I first tried Davis Cookie Collection, I wasn't expecting to be so impressed, but babyyyy after the first bite, I was hooked! The cookies were fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. They tasted like they were made with genuine care and quality ingredients.

What I loved most was that each cookie tasted homemade and had the perfect balance of sweetness. The presentation was beautiful, and the entire ordering process was easy and professional.

It's not often that you find cookies that look amazing and taste even better, but Davis Cookie Collection definitely delivers. Whether you're treating yourself or sharing with family and friends, I highly recommend giving them a try. I'll definitely be ordering again!!!! 🍪❤✨“

“I really enjoy supporting small local businesses like this place. Great, friendly staff! Love this place!“
