44 Best Ice Cream Shops in Cincinnati

“This classic dairy stand offers great ice cream treats. It is a great place to go on a hot night for all sorts of tasty creations, and the staff provide great service. There are plenty of tables to sit and eat at. The downsides are how close it sits to Hamilton Avenue and its sometimes heavy traffic, that they only take cash, and the lack of restrooms.“

“Best ice cream company that exists!“

“I love Graeter’s ice cream to begin with. This location is very large a lot of seating and there is a children’s play area. However, the parking is very limited. Also has a drive-through option. Everything is reasonably priced and very tasty. I highly recommend the boldly bear cat. You can buy ice cream and other tasty treats. I saw some cakes too.“

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

“Their cookies are so good!

Vegetarian options: Their cookies don’t have meat so they’re vegetarian.

Kid-friendliness: I mean kids love cookies plus they have new small cookies so it’s perfect for kids.“

“Stopped in during our vacation for the blueberry soft serve. YUM!! Very creamy and smooth, mild blueberry flavor. Highly recommend!!“

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

“Decided to stop for some ice cream with my son. They have a great menu, the girls behind the counter were very friendly and my milkshake was delicious. Parking is limited and they could use a couple more picnic tables. But it was very good and will be back!“

“Good ice cream at a fair price“

“Inside is super cute. 1/3 of the dispensers were being cleaned or inoperable, so choices were limited. The staff interactions were mixed; the one we encountered in the dining room who was working on the machines was nice but the “cashier” didn’t seem too thrilled to be there. Not rude, just not pumped. 😉

The frozen yogurt was tasty, though, and they have a TON of toppings!!!“

“Best dessert place there is! I have bought the 4oz minis for 2 family functions and they are always hit! We especially love the banana puddings! Not to mention the brownies are to die for!! Perfect tasty bites that remain me of the corners of the brownie pan! Can’t wait to try the shakes and cookies next!!“

“This was a cool place to try out. My sister loves this place and we were visiting and wanted to try it out too. I love my salted caramel and sugar cone. The place smelled so yummy and was comfy place. Service was also great too. Would recommend to anyone for a sweet tooth.“

“Nothing like my Dad's hometown favorite, a Grater's Chess Pie!!! My daughter has some extra creamy Reddi Whip and this was an excellent option for breakfast.
Thank you Grater's, brings back so many fond childhood memories with my Father in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio!!!“

“Free birthday sundae! Yummy. Get the app.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“Had Johnnys out for our company picnic and nothing but great things to say. Easy to work with, prompt on arrival, setup and ready to serve our employees on time. Very reasonable pricing. Most importantly their ice-cream and shaved iced was nothing short of delicious! Would defiantly recommend and consider for our future events!“

“it was amazing. muy bien“

“SPOILERS FOR GENERAL CUSTERS GOLF AND GULP BELOW:

there was like a REALLY funny monkey at one point and i think it made the whole golf thing really worth it. like this was the best mini golf experience ive ever had. the ice cream is good too. my girlfriend won though :( thank you Custer!“

“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“

“Shame to the haters out there. My kids love this place. Great flavors and toppings. I think the owner got a bad rap for trying to keep the place clean during the pandemic but has relaxed. She brought chairs around so our whole party could sit together. My son got a stain on his shirt, and she brought a microfiber to help us clean it- worked great. We’ll be back!“

“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.“

“Items ordered Small blueberry soft serve in waffle cone cup Small vanilla ice cream in cup with rainbow sprinkles Medium blueberry ice cream on sugar cone Medium blueberry ice cream on bubble waffle cone with cheesecake bite topping I took my kids and nephew here, when we got there, there were only a few customers ahead of us so our wait wasn’t long. Within ten minutes the line grew to about forty people. The soft serve is excellent, a truly very creamy consistency, they didn’t skimp on the cream. In Cincinnati you can find varying degrees of soft serve from ice milk to rich and creamy. This soft serve is well rich and creamy, five stars. I immediately compared it to Kings Island soft serve which has been tasting less blue as the years pass. This blue soft serve took me back to the blue I remembered as a kid. The sugar cones were excellent, fresh and crunchy. My eldest got the bubble cone which I was very curious about, it went well with the ice cream. It was soft pillows of tender waffle, it tasted fresh. Salty and sweet a bit more salty than sweet but paired well with the ice cream. The cheesecake bites were delicious, very fresh, very delicious. Great customer service, friendly staff. I highly recommend this ice cream experience.“

“Best ice cream company that exists!“

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

“We’re not from here but came to this cute place! We got malts & edible cookie dough! Sketchy part of town but delish!“

“Mariemont is one of the cutest cities in Ohio and of course they have Cincinnati's iconic ice cream! My boyfriend and I love to ride our bikes here and grab some ice cream! My go to is the Cookie Monster Sundae! I don't see it on every Graeters menu, but I see it here, and it's my favorite! We love the atmosphere and bench seating outside!

Parking: Great easy parking across the street and around surrounding street parking. All around cross walks too.“

“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.“

“👌Thanks fpr another good time..!!!!“

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

“The typical great Dairy Queen ice cream served here. Prices are great! Service is quick and the place is well kept up and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful.“

“I shop at Davis Cookie Collection every week and it just keeps getting better. The flavors are out of this world! I seriously haven’t had a single one I didn’t like. Even the flavors I thought I wouldn’t enjoy, she somehow made me fall in love with. That’s how good these cookies are.

On top of that, the customer service is exceptional. The owner is warm, welcoming, and truly passionate about what she does. You can feel the love and care in every cookie and every interaction.

This place is a gem. If you're a cookie lover or even if you're not, you need to try it. You’ll be hooked!“
