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!“

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

“clean and efficient store“

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

“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.“

“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 was wonderfully friendly! The people make this place a must go!
The Banana Shake is a work of art.
We bought one of every cookie and currently working our way through them.
Nana's Strawberry cookie is hands down a fav so far. I'm going back for more.“

“Graeter's in Mariemont is one of my favorite spots to grab ice cream. The location itself has such a great small town feel, it's right in the heart of Mariemont and fits the vibe perfectly. I'm usually a creature of habit and always order chocolate, but I decided to branch out and try the Apple Strudel since it just came out. So glad I did. It had these amazing cinnamon apple chunks and little pastry pieces mixed in, tasted just like an actual strudel. Staff was friendly and the line moved quickly even though it was busy.“

“Best ice cream company that exists!“

“Fast and friendly service. Good selection and reasonable prices! We will be back.“

“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“

“I’m impressed with the fresh ingredients, consistent high quality, great taste, and very pleasant staff.“

“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.“

“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❤️“

“We came to Simply Rolled after our daughter performed in the Nutcracker at SCPA. This was our first time experiencing this style of ice cream creation and WOW! The associate (I didn’t want to misspell her name but it starts with a “N”) was extremely nice and helpful, she even wrote a congratulatory message on our daughter’s cup! Thank you for making our first experience memorable! 💚“

“Consistently Exceptional Service at Nekter – Thanks to Alex! For the past six years, I've visited Nekter five days a week, making it more than just a juice bar for me—it's a part of my daily routine. Today, I feel compelled to write this review, not just because of Nekter's consistently delicious offerings, but to highlight an extraordinary employee who makes every visit unforgettable—Alex. From the moment you meet Alex, it's clear he's not your average employee. His infectious smile and genuine enthusiasm are evident from the get-go. Alex's approach to service is unmatched; he truly makes you feel like a friend, not just a customer. He remembers my name, asks about my day, and our conversations never feel rushed or routine. It's rare to encounter someone who exudes such natural charisma and joy in their work. Alex’s exceptional customer service has profoundly impacted my experience at Nekter. His attention to detail and consistent friendliness enhance the already welcoming atmosphere of the store. Whether it's his quick service, insightful recommendations, or just a cheerful greeting, Alex consistently goes above and beyond. Nekter itself deserves praise for its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, but it's employees like Alex who breathe life into this ethos. His dedication is a significant reason why I keep coming back and why each visit is as enjoyable as the last. For anyone looking for not just a great juice or smoothie but a genuinely delightful service experience, head to Nekter and see Alex. You’ll understand why it’s more than just a place to grab a drink—it’s a highlight of the day, thanks to people like him.“
