“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.“

“We booked the Hello Honey ice cream cart for our wedding reception, and it was an absolute hit! We couldn’t recommend their service for events more. Having three custom flavors alongside one of their signature menu options made for a unique and delicious treat that our guests couldn’t stop raving about. Not only was the ice cream itself incredible, but the cart added such a fun, interactive element to our reception. It was the perfect way to share a taste of local Cincinnati flavor with our out-of-town guests, and they loved it! If you’re looking for a memorable, crowd-pleasing addition to your event, Hello Honey’s ice cream cart is the way to go!“

“One of my favorites. Plenty of seating and it's always clean. The staff are friendly and engaging. This is a larger location. Attached party room / play area. Parking is a challenge. Hands down the world's greatest ice cream. Donuts and other treats look tempting, but always good ice cream. More expensive than some other options, the quality reflects the price and the portions are generous.
If they are hosting birthday parties, you will struggle to find a parking space.“

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.“

“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!!!“

“Love that you went back to not having coconut oil in your peppermint ice cream! I can safely have it again. Also your staff didn't get mad when I asked if I could have it as the holiday milkshakes knowing that they would have to clean the blender first. He even double checked all ingredients to make sure nothing had coconut in it for me. This is service that I have not had at Graeter's in a long, long time.

Dietary restrictions: See comments above. Thank you for making it safe to have an old holiday treat again.“

I really hope there are more hiding inside the cookie. Why is it that the samples on the counter always look better than the ones you receive in your box?“

“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.“

The strawberry was so good I almost wrestled my co-worker for the last one.If you haven’t stopped in or placed an order you should do so immediately. They would make a great gift for graduates, new home owners, new parents etc. if my family/friends see this my birthday is in October and cookies are a great idea. :-)**Vegan options available**“
