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! ♥️“

“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 😆“

“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 😋 🫶🏾❤️“

“What a wonderful experience. We rented the back room for our daughter’s birthday party. They were so accommodating, prices were reasonable and their customer service was top notch. Highly suggest a visit. The ice cream and cookie dough were so good.“

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

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

“Great place for ice cream.“

“What a fabulous spot for families or ice cream, frozen treats and dessert lovers of all kinds! The inside playground here and two party rooms make this a great spot for parties or other gatherings. I was visiting nephew, his lovely wife and precious two children and we stopped in Graeter's for dessert. I enjoyed my pineapple freeze and loved watching my nephew's children playing on fun equipment inside. Special and enjoyable evening! Wishing you the same!“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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 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!!!!!“

“Love Kelly Q's. Always the best service and great food!!“

“friendly people. Great food and ice cream.“

“So excited for the owners and see what they will do, it was clean and even had some new toppings I hadn’t seen before.“
