My partner and I stopped here after a walk on the Miami Scenic River trail on a Tuesday afternoon. We had been driving by this place for a while now and had always wanted to try it. When it opened for this season we finally gave it a go. It has a pretty large parking lot, which I was thankful for, though it can be difficult to get out when you are leaving. They only take cash so be warned, but there is an ATM on the side of the building. There was only one girl working that day, but there are two windows I am assuming for busier times like the weekends. We walked right up and ordered from their pretty large menu posted on the side. I got the campfire sundae, and my partner just got a vanilla cone. It is all soft-serve, and they have chocolate, vanilla, or twist. There are many different toppings, dips, shakes, and sundaes offered for all preferences. My sundae was not very photogenic at all, which was fine as it still tasted great. The campfire sundae is twist ice cream topped with teddy grahams, chocolate dip, whipped cream, and a cherry. It was refreshing and had good crunch from the toppings. Between the two ice cream flavors though, the vanilla had a lot more going for it. For a fun, small place to get ice cream during the warm months, I would recommend coming here. It is not fancy, but it hits the spot! read more

The store gave off your traditional old school neighborhood ice cream shop. The menu was loaded with a variety of options, anyone could find something there. The service was quick and efficient compared to most places. The sundae was average at best... the banana was fresh but i wish there was more of the other toppings. I'd give it another shot, just not overly impressed with round 1 read more

Been going here for years. Never had anyone be so rude as the guy tonight. I asked if possible could I upsize my milkshake and willing to pay for it and got a nasty "NO" Wouldn't even look at me. May have been owner not sure. As an owner of my own business for years you shouldn't be so nasty to customers. Without them - u have no business. read more

Loved our chocolate dipped soft serve ice creams at Dairy Corner! The ice cream was exactly as expected and the chocolate dip coating got nice and hard. This time we also splurged and did the rainbow sprinkles on the the outside - outstanding! Added a little pizzazz. This is a standard little ice cream stand on the corner in Newtown. Parking lot adjacent to the building, and some tables and benches available for seating. Yes, a little scruffy but in a "been here a lot of years" kind of way. Quirky menu sort of spread out over all the windows gives you something to look at while you wait in line - and in summer, there is usually a line. *Cash only* The staff has always been efficient when we've been there, actually sort of anonymous since there are so many signs all over the windows, you can barely see them - you order, pay and are handed your ice cream. Not much more to it, and there doesn't need to be. This will be on regular rotation for our summertime ice cream requirements! read more

This ice cream shop is so good! It is cute and classic, with a walk up counter. Dairy corner has so many good flavors and the soft serve is so good! In the winter, they sell great christmas trees. It is cash only, but there is an ATM right across the street. They have great customer service. It is hands down the best ice cream place! read more

Dairy Corner - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Classic local town soft serve ice cream spot. Walk up windows. Friendly ice cream servers. Cash only. White, chocolate, or zebra cones. Strawberry dipped or chocolate dipped cones. You know, all the classics. They also have their version of the blizzard with all your favorite toppings. The shakes are good (but better across the street at UDF). My favorite item here is the chip wheelies, chocolate chip cookie sandwiched around vanilla scoop. This place is great. It nostalgic. Come here after a date, bring the team here after a big win, or bring your buddies with a case of the munchies. No one will be disappointed. Call to make sure its open. Usually opens late spring closes mid fall. There are occasions when there are long waits. The line moves pretty quickly but the line can look intimidating. Go enjoy!

We headed to Dairy Corner for pre-dinner dessert while waiting to pick up a to-go order from 50 West. There was a bit of a line but they are super efficient in moving everyone through quickly. I appreciate that they don't take the next order until they've finished yours, so you're not standing around awkwardly trying to stay out of the way while you wait. However, I hate how most ice cream places hand you the ice cream and THEN take your money. The woman in front of us begged to pay before they made her cone and honestly she's on to something. Anyway, I ordered the s'more sundae and only got a little bit of marshmallow on my change as we headed around back to the seating area/park. The sundae was ridiculous in the best way possible. Chocolate coating in the cup, topped with swirl soft serve, marshmallow creme, teddy grahams and whipped cream. Indulgent and mildly extravagant without being too much. My husband, meanwhile, raved about his butterscotch malt, which I admit, was really good and maybe better than my sundae. All in all, I kind of wish they took credit and that the parking lot was a bit bigger but mad props for efficiency and slinging ice cream faster than maybe any other dairy whip in the vicinity. I'll be back for a shake sometime soon. read more

This is my favorite seasonal place to stop by for a cold sweet treat! The establishment has been around so long that my grandparents actually had their first date here! I rotate with my order, but especially enjoy the red soda floats and the chocolate ice cream with peanut sprinkles. My mom always gets the vanilla cup with butterscotch hard shell topping which is delicious. They have a good amount of outdoor seating. I have memories of collecting caterpillars outside here as a kid - it's a very kid-friendly place! Just make sure you bring cash - it's cash only! Always looking forward to my next stop back. read more

Honestly I'm surprised by all of the negative reviews. Dairy Corner is a classic small-town ice cream stop. They make the best milkshakes and malts, with the most delicious flavors. I love stopping here, no matter the occasion, when I'm driving through. There is something so nostalgic and charming about this place. It makes you feel like you're in a movie. The service could be better... it's also staffed by high school girls who are clearly trying their best. They're shy and just teenagers. That's okay! I frankly don't get the complaints about their service. One of my favorites in Cincinnati. Always a treat. read more

Service was much better and the employees were much more pleasant. They were working hard on a Memorial Day Weekend. Got the regular sundae with hot fudge and marshmallow. Great sweet treat at a more than reasonable price. read more

Conveniently tucked at the corner of an intersection is the walk up ice cream establishment known as The Dairy Corner. Good news is they have a parking lot, bad news is that you must have cash. However if you forget that( like I did) you can walk across the street to the UDF and use their ATM. They have a peanut butter /mallo malt that honestly is the best shake I've ever had. Worth my 20 minute one way trip! If you're near Newtown for a bike ride, or driving through, it's more than worth any line to wait. I've heard the lines can get long but I went on a week night and must have beat the crowd. So, it you're not lactose intolerant head over. read more

One of the few fun things someone can do in Newtown is go to Dairy Corner. It's located right on the corner of two busy streets. They're not that busy though. It attracts crowds but it's usually not too crazy. One exception is if a youth baseball team shows up. It is best known for their dipped cones. It has several flavors for the hard shells. They also have a popular dirt sundae. It's made with crushed Oreos. The menu is posted in pieces all around the window. It has several slushie flavors. I had the Blue Raspberry Ice Ball. It's about $2 for a regular. They also have regular food, greasy stuff like hot dogs and barbecue sandwiches. It's been there forever. It's so popular because there aren't many other choices. There's a nice seating area with a few benches and tables surrounded by trees. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid. I can't do it anymore. The ice cream is consistently icy and the service is poor. Literally the only thing the person behind the counter said to me was the price. Which is a bit expensive for soft serve ice cream. It seems they are in neutral and coasting on nostalgia. Not getting service from me anymore. I'm going to Mt. Washington Creamy Whip or Old Milford Parlor for better ice cream and friendly faces. read more

More of a 1.5 than a 2, but after reviewing my "1s," I felt a 2 was more appropriate than a 1. Not a lot to point out as positives, but I will say, my wife loved her peanut mallow sundae and, especially, the nuts on it. I had been looking forward to a peanut butter milkshake, but they only offer peanut mallow. I wasn't really interested in that and decided on a a chocolate shake. The taste was really strong and not very pleasant. Not sure how they make it, but it had tiny, little balls of chocolate in it that were kinda hard like plastic. It was pretty bad as far as chocolate shakes go. My 6 y/o daughter wanted rainbow sprinkles and they told her that the only way to get rainbow sprinkles was with peanuts. For a sec, we thought they misheard her so my wife helped out with her order and they said the same thing. What ice cream shop doesn't offer rainbow sprinkles? That's a sin by itself. Two smokers on the property (even with signs saying otherwise), tons of bugs around the building, it was pretty dirty, the parking lot was tight, and the girls working were super unfriendly--wow do they hate working there and made sure we knew. Not a "1," but we won't be back. read more

This place is just a nice local soft serve ice cream stand. They've got good ice cream with a nice variety of toppings. They've got shakes, malts and floats,too. If you're a foodie looking for the best ice cream, maybe this isn't for you. But it is still a fun place to go after a game, a meal or a night out read more

This is a typical ice cream shop open in the summer time. It has your traditional soft serve and then some other funky stuff. I had a dip, which ice cream dipped into a flavored shell of sorts (pics attached). The reason it's a 4 and not a 5 is 1: it's cash only, a little inconvenient and 2: no where to sit. On a summer night I love to sit outside an ice cream place and enjoy my ice cream and conversations with my friends. The pricing is reasonable enough. Would come here again. read more

Truly a fan! I was at a baseball game just down the street when one of the gals in the bleachers suggested getting ice cream right around the corner. It literally is a hole in the wall. You walk up and order your ice cream--and it's delicious! This shop reminds me of going to get ice cream when I was a kid, and it brings back all the feels! Know that they only except cash, but they are pretty cheap. There is plenty of parking behind their shop, as well as a UDF right across the street that has parking. You can get anything from a dirt sundae with crushed up Oreos and worms to shaved ice and ice cream mix together to dipped cones and sundaes. I asked the young girls who were working there what was their favorite, and they quickly suggested the dipped Cone topped with peanuts and candy crunch. I tried it, and it was amazing! BONUS: this ice cream shop is only a few minutes from the bike trail. You would definitely have to map out what turns to take, as you would have to leave the bike trail for a bit--but it would be worth the stop. read more

3.5 stars for the Dairy Corner but rounding down since Customer Service wasn't good. The lady clearly did not want to work today, or maybe she's always unpleasant. Never a smile on her face or a kind tone in her voice. The BBQ sandwich with cole slaw was homemade and good. It was filled with yummy green peppers so avoid the sandwich if you don't like that. The bread was even yummy! The large root beer float was certainly large! She filled the cup with ice cream and poured a 20oz Barq's on top. Nice touch to give us the remainder of the soda left in the bottle but that didn't help the taste. It was just off. I like Barq's but maybe I was searching for an A&W flavor? Or maybe their ice cream just doesn't pair well with Barq's. This place was just kinda meh. I was so excited to stop but sadly disappointed. read more

We parked across the street, as parking for this business is tricky. Once we got to the ice cream shop, the line was fairly long and did take a bit to get through. My husband placed our order as I took the kids to find a spot to sit (seating is also pretty limited). I got the upside down banana split, and it was amazing! Definitely recommend! read more

I don't get it. I read reviews here and everyone swears it's the best creamy whip, so I was excited to go. I always get a twist with the PB/rainbow sprinkle crunch-coat. The crunch-coat was okay but the ice cream was not. It's in no way creamy, not remotely. It's more like a jello pudding type frozen creation. Thin, very thin, with a bit of grit to it. Like if you were supposed to use whole milk or cream in something but you used water? That kind of thin. I took this pic and you can see the grit in it that I'm talking about, and the color of it is not what creamy whip looks like, it looks almost gelatinous here. I ate the crunch-coat off and threw the rest away. If this is the only place you know, I'm sure it's great but you should venture out more and see what you are missing. Service is a whole different negative review I could focus on but if the ice cream is no good, why bother. For reference, I think Johnny's is fabulous, Lil' Goodie Shop is great, Zip Dip is always good. read more

This is my favorite place to go to get ice cream. My husband and I have been coming her together since 1970 when we were dating. Been married since 1971 & still ''our place''. Their ice cream is the best!! My parents brought me here in the late 50's....what does that tell you? You don't have generations of families that still come here for any other reason than it's the best place for ice cream worth coming back for. Make memories at the DAIRY CORNER.....we did & still do!! Danny & Nancy Miller. Glen Este, Ohio. read more

Prices are reasonable, but they only take cash... a physical item that not many people use anymore. Know this before you order.... I happened to miss it amid the all of the ice cream specials that clutter the window. The selection is good and the service and ice cream are great. They even offer a doggie sundae with a dog biscuit for all the dog lovers that just left Wags Park down the road. This is a great place to stop with a wet, exhausted dog. read more

Dairy Corner is locally owned and operated and one thing most people don't know is that this is the first creamy whip to open in Ohio! They started serving in 1955 and have been going strong ever since. With pretty much anything and everything to satisfy any sweet tooth some of their offerings include: home made ice cream sammies, glaciers, dip tops, crunch cones, sundaes and more! The favorite seems to be the glaciers everyone in our line ordered one so we followed suite. And if you don't know, a glacier is a flavored crushed ice drink with soft serve in the middle. Kinda weird, but turns out its a great fix if you are hungry and thirsty hahah! The flavor of the ice cream at this creamy whip is the most real and homemade I have tasted in the area. It tastes very rich and has a caramel color just like my mom used to make when I was little. I opted for a cherry dip top and I have to say, it was my least favorite dip top I have every had simply because the bubble of ice cream is made in the shape of a ball. See photo. Kinda weird and super hard to eat. I ended up throwing it away. Not sure if this is a tradition to make it in this shape, or just something the 100 year old lady serving us was doing. Either way, this place is a must for locals, and anyone who is obsessed with hunting down historic creamy whips! read more

The old Dairy Corner is no more. We've made trips here for years, myself as a child & then bringing my own children. I'm done. Twice this month (June 2019) we tried to visit and they were closed, both during normal operating hours. The trip earlier this month was Saturday afternoon, today's visit was Sunday at 6pm. Dairy Corner is my favorite but it's not worth 20 minutes one way to find that they're closed. read more

I love this ice cream place so much. Although it doesn't look the best from the outside- it really is the best.. I've been going there since I was a child. They have so many varieties of things to choose from and you will most likely love everything. They do only take cash but they have inserted an ATM recently. They have pretty much any type of dessert you could think of. I love dairy corner!! read more

This is a nice spot to stop at in the summer if you're looking for something a little different than DQ. The ice cream is super creamy. Only downside to that is if you're eating a cone outside, it melts very quickly. There are lots of options for dipped cones, sundaes, malts, and floats. If you want something larger than the small size, you have to specify or you'll just be given a small. It is cash only, but the prices are not too high. My hot fudge sundae was delicious and I would definitely go here again. read more

If you've never been, do yourself a flavor and go, especially if it's summer and you're in the area... It's a gem in the Newtown crown for sure... They've been around forever...

A regular stop after Soccer matches, Baseball Games, on the way home from visiting Mariemont, Eastgate, really any excuse to drive thru Newtown...

Icy and grainy texture. Not at all what I remember. Better off going to UDF across the street. My kids wouldn't even eat it.

This place is an establishment. It has been around forever, and for good reason! Their soft serve ice-cream is the best in town (at least in my opinion, and I consider myself an ice-cream connoisseur). My go-to order is a chocolate and vanilla swirl in a waffle cone. However, they have so many different options on their menu there is sure to be something to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth! They have sundaes, frozen ice, and toppings galore - hard shell dips, sprinkles, peanuts. My favorite place to go for an ice-cream treat! read more

Dairy Corner - Chocolate & vanilla swirl in a waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The Newtown Dairy Corner is a classic of growing up in Cincinnati. Well...maybe for the eastsiders. Located in the cute town of Newtown just off the Little Miami River, its a must-do if you are on your way to go canoing or just want some good soft serve! The Dairy Corner serves all sorts of flavors of soft serve ice cream. You can get it in a cone or a cup or covered with butterscotch or that hardening chocolate stuff. Don't forget the sprinkles! They also have various novelty popsicles shaped like today's favorite cartoon characters or the long fruity ones that change flavors as you eat them! It really is the epitome of a summer childhood memory for myself as well as many others. The dairy corner has benches in the back for enjoying the summer weather with your ice cream but beware of the bees that like to hang out back there!! read more

The price isn't bad at all but the service is awful. I think if they actually smiled it might cause their faces to break or a Zombie Apocalypse. And since they are one of the last true Dairy Whips or Neighborhood Summer ice cream places, I guess they think they can get away with such sad service. So if you are looking for some nostalgia with your soft serve then it's a nice place just don't expect anything more than a bored and hasseled attitude. read more

How had I never heard of this place?! I spend a fair amount of time of my life in Oakley, and -- as I was craving a good creamy whip cone -- felt it necessary to locate the nearest stand where I could satiate my need. It was because Cindy, our very own Community Manager, had visited earlier in the day, that I learned about Dairy Corner and that is was probably the closest creamy whip to where I was. My theory about ice cream is this: if you can't master the basics, what are you good for, really? It is that reason why I always order a small zebra cone with chocolate sprinkles. Dairy Corner did it really well, too. I will certainly be back. read more

I went to this place as a kid a lot and had not been. I decided to take my husband, who wanted a dessert, as this managed to pop into my head. It's a cute place. It's local, they only take cash, and their signs are faded and kind of hilariously old. It's a cute little place. Basically, a high schooler takes your order, and gives you some good old fashioned ice cream. It's good stuff. Great for kids. Nothing fancy. They have a dog sundae too! read more
