“We LOVE Gramingo’s! My daughters beg to stop there for rolled ice cream. I especially love all the choices of delicious homemade fudge. Last time we stopped in I got a connoli and buckeyes and they were both great. They have a really good selection of nostalgic candy you won’t find anywhere else too. Highly recommend stopping in. This place is a great asset to our little town.“

“So the other day I waited for about a minute because they didn’t see me walk up at first… because they were busy MAKING THE CONES FRESH IN HOUSE. I have literally never in my life seen fresh waffle cones made in a literal waffle iron before. You cannot ask for more than what they give you here.“

“After being recommended to try this place, we made our first stop today for breakfast. Although we did a carry out order, the atmosphere and staff was amazing. We easily ordered to go through the phone, and we were greeted by several kind, smiling, and warm staff when we picked up. The inside is a cute, home and family style atmosphere. The staff has the most generous and respectful communication and I valued that. And don’t get me started on the food- delicious !!! We will be back to try lunch and dinner menus soon. Well done Kelly Q’s!“

Cotton Candy Ice Cream
Banana Split

“Stopped by for the first time and really enjoyed it. Got the Moreliana which is several types of fruit mixed with sweetened condensed milk, coconut, and vanilla ice cream. It was a little pricey (over $9) but it was a pretty large portion/serving so I say it was worth it when other ice cream places charge $6-7 for a scoop. Staff was friendly and efficient. They serve different types of cut up fruit, ice cream, milkshakes, drinks, and other Hispanic snacks. Definitely a hidden gem in the Florence area. I'll stop by again when I'm in the area.“

“They have very good soft serve ice cream and other stuff. There are usually a couple of adorable young ladies working the times I've stopped by. The neighborhood it's in is very old and nostalgic, if you've been in Cincy all your life but never visited this neighborhood you should especially if you like history. There's a park across the street with a very nice children's play area, this is pretty little town.“

“First time coming here and to start off; you will miss this place if your not looking because the outside looks boring and rundown, while the inside gives old dinner vibes but mainly setup like a fast food establishment. Almost everything in the menu is homemade and done with care and old techniques. I had the footling hotdog with fries while my wife had pecan ice cream and a grilled cheese. All of it was great and I'm in love with their chilli now. Think skyline but more meat, less runny, and more flavor. Fries were mediocre and I personally didn't like the cornmeal on the fried mushrooms but I can look past that. The grilled cheese is very standard but good and the ice cream is packed with big scoops. You'll definitely get your money's worth here and more. Can't wait to come again and try more!“

2939 Terminal Dr, Hebron

“I love ice cream and this is some of the best. It’s rich creamy and not too sweet. Like that the ingredients are straight forward and not complicated with stuff aka artificial ingredients that are on junk food labels. Highly recommend their blackberry chocolate, cherry chocolate chip, black raspberry chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip and anything with coconut and sometimes cookie dough. I may have a dairy sensitivity, it’s hard to pass up amazing ice cream made right. Look forward to more of your ice cream on my next visit ?“
