“Whit's is a small frozen custard place that has better taste than the big chains. We came at a busy time, and they were very quick with getting everyone's order. They had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available and had a great ambiance.“

My husband got a large shaved ice with different flavors, and I got a cookie sandwich. Everything was soooo good! If you haven’t stopped, you’re missing out! The owner is also very sweet! ♥️“

“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 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!“

“Usually I go through the drive thru. In the morning the line isn't too long, but around 4/5p it begins to grow a little. They have a lot of flavors and options for malts, shakes, sundaes, banana splits, etc. Our order has always been correct, shakes have always been really good. The cups are thicker so it's not cold on your hand which is nice, and with shakes or malts you get a thicker straw also.“

5118 Taylor Mill Rd, Taylor Mill - 5.57 miles

“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!“

Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Shop • $
2410 High St, Crescent Springs - 7.61 miles

“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.“
