Asst Mgr Barb, without missing a beat continued filling orders, asked if they had my order.When she got no answer, she asked one of the cooks to make my sandwich.She asked another co-worker if she had coupons. Once my order was ready, she sincerely apologized for the and gave me my food and the coupon. I told her I was impressed with how she made things happen and took care of the situation.

“what an awesome dairy bar! my daughter and visited this past weekend for the first time. super friendly staff, and really nice set up! we will definitely be back! super fun! 😊“

“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.“

“never had this until the food truck rally in Springfield...probably THE best frozen yogurt I've ever had...would highly recommend“

“best ice cream around. The blue ice cream and all the Dole Whip flavors are just the best.“

“Sending a shout out to Gold Spoon Creamery in Blue Ash. We visited today with our Girl Scout troop for a tour and ice cream. Emily was very knowledgeable, and the girls thought it was cool to get a behind the scenes peek at where the ice cream was made. The ice cream was delicious! Highly recommend them as a shop to stop by if you’re in Summit Park this summer!“

“Best espresso ice cream that I’ve ever had! My husband and I drove from Lebanon today to try the ice cream and it was absolutely delicious 😋 The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. We ran into a very nice young man who worked there who was emptying the trash and took ours for us with a huge smile and a “have a wonderful day!” Outdoor games that are free and trees for the kids to climb and scenic views of the golf course. Awesome establishment, we will be back 👍👍“

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

“We were on a girls vacation and I googled Ice Cream Shop and found this one. sooooo cute and delicious. wish y'all had a store in AL. ♥️🐝🍦“

“This place was sooo cute !!! The lady that was working the cashier / ice cream was super sweet and relatable and their popcorn brittle and gooey cake dough was top tier!! If anything must try the popcorn brittle and caramel apple. Two very different flavors. If you like a calm sweet go for the popcorn if you like a big surprise… try the apple! Must try place if you’re in town.“

“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.“

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

“Outdoor seating only.
Bring cash because I don’t think that they take credit cards.
Full DQ treat menu, including ice cream sandwiches and Dilly bars.
Follow the ordering process. One single line of customers. When you are first in line, advance to the first open window.

It is kind of like going to confession. There is a physical screen you talk through and a window separating you from your treat.

When it is time to pay, the window is opened and you get your treat. “When the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs”.

Please excuse the Catholic analogies - this Dairy Queen is directly across the street from Roger Bacon high school.

Like I said above, bring CASH because I do T think they take credit cards. I might be wrong.

There is ample parking in back of the place, and it is easy to get in and out of here.

High school kid staff were warm and friendly and made me a perfect cone.

Love this place. Drove six miles to get here.“

“Just the best ice cream in the world!!! Love the chocolate - so delicious. Always greeted with a smile - such a happy place😁😁“

“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❤️“

“A Cincinnati institution…a must stop every visit!“

“GR8 stop for a special treat in Cincinnati 🤙👍“

“it was amazing. muy bien“

“Visited Graeter's Jungle Jim's location on Dixie Highway, Fairfield, OH, back in October 2022. It's a very convenient outlet, since you don't have to drive around finding a branch anywhere else. There are plenty of branches of Greater's all around in Cincinnati, namely from Downtown, Montgomery, Colerain and even one at CVG or at the International Airport.

During my visit, I ordered two pints of the Mango flavor. It was something which I had even tried earlier. It's quite good, which leaves you with a real Mango flavor instead of seeming like being articificially colored and flavored.

It was pretty good customer service with the Sales Associate being very courteous and quick. The store was pretty spacious.

Graeter's also has cake selections, signature chocolates, signature coffee powders, besides lattes, etc. Greater's is renowned for its iconic brand, something indigenous to Ohio. It's gotten a bit more expensive, these days!“

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

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“Hands down the best cookies I’ve ever had. Every week brings something new and exciting, but they somehow manage to nail every single flavor. The cookies are always fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. The staff at the West Chester location is friendly and quick too. Whether it’s a classic chocolate chip or something wild like key lime pie, Crumbl never disappoints!“

“The place was nice and clean. And business as usual. The customer service wasnt bad either, but there was just a sense of, customers being a nuance, feel. Maybe it's just my personal opinion, and I wasn't expecting rainbows and unicorns but, at least smile a little.“

“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!“

“It had been many years since we had been to the Root Beer Stand so it was high time to come back. It had grown a fair amount since our last visit which was great to see. The place was really busy but they really are streamlined well and there was not a long wait time. There is a bit of indoor seating but a vast majority of the seating is at picnic tables outside around the area. Everything looked great all around the grounds although you must remember you are outside and there are a fair amount of bees around so beware of that. I had a footlong chili dog and fries which were excellent especially the chili dog. Also had to have a root beer float which was legendary as usual as their locally sourced root beer really is delicious. This is definitely an awesome place to go on a summer day for sure and it gets my highest recommendation.“

“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!!“

“Levi who works here is the absolute best! My husband and I got here a few minutes after close (we are used to the 10pm closing time that gets adjusted in the winter) and he unlocked the door to let us order quickly. That was so kind and really made our night. We were even celebrating my husband’s 30th bday and Yagoot was all he wanted, so it made it even more special. Thanks, Levi! You are awesome and made our day!!“

“Great flavors of sorbet and yogurt! The customer service can be hit and miss sometimes. Most days the workers are just playing on their phones but I guess there's not a ton of stuff that needs to be done. The place is mostly clean and they do have outdoor seating. This is near Jungle Jim's so plenty of things to do nearby.“

“Amazing and delicious! I cannot wait to come back and try a different flavor!“

“I haven’t been in since they’ve rebranded and remodeled. But, wow! It’s really soooo chic and elegant inside. I was actually shocked we were technically still inside of a mall. They have a ton of different pastries, chocolates, macarons, gelatos and coffees for you to choose from. Everything was bright, colorful and looked like it was all made with care. I got the hazelnut dalgona coffee, some macarons and a few croissants to try out. The coffee was great, super creamy and sweet. The macarons were fresh and my favorite flavor was probably the pisatchio!!
Its a great place to treat yourself to a sweet snack or to buy as gifts for friends and family. The entire staff was super welcoming and can help you narrow down your choices if you don’t know what you’re shopping for.“

“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.“

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

“Way better than crumble cookie ! Definitely will be coming back .“

“good food can't wait to come back“

“I had their popsicles at an event and they were PERFECT for a summer event! I had an orange one and it was so creamy and delicious!“

“I love the strawberry matcha and my fiancé loves the strawberry milkie. The staff is super friendly and pleasant and the store is clean. There is only one problem: it smells like rotten milk. We would come more often if it wasn't the case. Again, wonderful place for a little treat.“

“I wasn’t sure if they opened at 10:30 or 11 and usually I check but I was out running errands while my kids were in school. I wanted to get a cake for my sons 3rd birthday and I got there at 10:45. The lady told me just to pull ahead when I got to the speaker. I pulled up and she said they were closed but could help me. She was more than happy to help me with a cake and they wrote on it for me 😊“

“A nice rolled ice cream and tea restaurant. Provides a cozy atmosphere and plenty of comfortable seating. The prices are not too bad. When we visited the service was just ok, but my daughter enjoyed it enough to say she would like to return in the future. Check it out if you are in the mood for se milk tea or ice cream!“

“The Blizzards are delicious 😋 Great service, we will definitely be back!“
