Graeter's is a Cincinnati staple and this was my first time stopping by. I decided to go with the Buckeye ice cream which was like a chocolate ice cream with peanut butter and fudge mixed throughout it. It was a really tasty ice cream, for a fairly reasonable price, not cheap but not terrible either. It was too much ice cream for me to finish so I had to give the rest to a friend, but it was really good and this site in particular is in a great neighborhood to explore. There is even a tiny park across the street with outdoor seating for you to enjoy your ice cream when the weather is too good to let yourself be trapped inside! Would recommend checking this place out!
How I haven't reviewed a Graeter's yet, I don't know. This is probably my seventh or eighth trip over the course of the past year and a half. In contrast to the other Graeter's I've been to, this Graeter's has ample seating which was perfect for this particular occasion because I got together with 11 friends. It's great for all the college students who probably fill it up frequently. With 11 people I was able to get some extra input for this review: - "It (the orange and cream milkshake) is very sweet, expected it to be orangier (more tart)" - "Wonderful in every way" - "Big chunks of fudge in the chocolate mixed with the fruity sweetness is just wonderful" - "The strawberry cheesecake is the best I've ever had of this flavor, lots of cheesecake chunks!" The staff was very helpful and for a Wednesday night, they were well staffed in the ice cream side with four employees. If you get a waffle cone, they make sure to stuff it first and then put the scoop on too, so you're getting a hefty scoop! Make sure to try samples if you are curious about a flavor!
Graeters is always consistent with excellent quality and great staff! Today I went in to buy goodies for Sunday's Bengal game! They didn't disappoint! A beautiful cake, and several differently decorated small cookies!
As others have mentioned, the ice cream is great. However, I am writing a review about their ice cream CAKE. I bought the chocolate fantasy cake for someone's birthday, and it was pure ecstasy. They only have one size for their cakes. It serves 12 people for $35. I was originally worried that the cake was too big because I only planned on serving 2 people but NOPE -- I am 100% positive that I can finish this entire cake ON MY OWN within a few days. The chocolate fantasy cake was the perfect balance of cake, ice cream, chocolate whipped cream, and fudge on top. The fudge oozes down as you slice into the cake. PURE ECSTASY. I wish Graeter's can serve slices of ice cream cake as well so I can resist buying entire cakes for myself.
Graeters is AMAZING! This cute lil place is my go-to stop for all Icecream cravings. Must try flavors: Black chocolate raspberry Cookies and cream Anything with chocolate chips (esp Mocha) Buckeye Vienna coffee Their sundaes are splendid too! I love the 1870 Tower.
I am not a big ice cream person but this place is sooo yummy! I was not expecting to be impressed with the flavors, but there were so many to choose from! Parking: easy! Loads of it. Ambiance: cute! I felt like I was in a fun diner. Ice cream: DELISH!
Best ice cream in the city and this is my favorite location! The flavors are always on point. This month (august) one of the seasonal flavors is key lime pie. It's out of this world!!! Literally tastes like the pie, tart, sweet, and massive chunks of gram cracker crust.
I love any place that gives out samples and won't shame you from wanting to make the best choice of dessert for the night! I went with a classic cookies & cream and while that might be plain, its texture and consistency was so good. Just the right about of hardness and perfect amount of oreo bits! Great place to stop by in Cincinnati.
Graeter's ice cream is a big deal in Ohio and I can see why. It was some of the richest, thickest ice creams I've ever had. I ordered the black raspberry chocolate chip and the buckeye blitz chocolate chip. The black raspberry flavor went real well with the chocolate chunks, and the peanut butter cookie dough of the buckeye blitz was nice and chewy. The other reviewers are not wrong when they mentioned large chocolate chip chunks in the ice cream. It gave a nice crunch and had just the right amount of bitterness to take the smooth, sweet ice cream to another level. I wish they had these outside of the mid-west, but for now, I'll always seek out Graeters when I'm there.
On my way out of Cincinnati, I had one last stop to make....Graeters! I have had Graeter's in pints before, but had never been to an actual store location. I walked in and liked the cool vibe of the spot. I went with a double scoop in a cup. I had Buckeye Blitz (red velvet cheesecake ice cream with Oreo type cookies) and Raspberry Chocolate Chip. Both flavors were amazing! Greater's hooks up the chocolate chips, for sure. Different than any other kind of ice cream brand. I loved it! The scoops were huge, and I enjoyed every bite. The 2 ladies working the shop were friendly, and there was parking right out front. read more
We were in town for a service trip, and for a treat we decided to go to graters ice cream, since it's a Cincy staple, the inside of the store is great, I loved checking out all of the products. I had a delicious scoop of lemon meringue pie Ice cream, I think there was bits of crust in it even! Plus with just a scoop it was the perfect amount! Since it was also so hot, I had a pineapple lemonade and crushed it! Everyone should try it they can! Delicious read more

Graeter's definitely has the best ice cream I've ever tasted. The Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip is amazing. So is the Black Cherry Chocolate chip. Mmmmm. This particular evening at this particular location, I opted for a bowl of Black Cherry. A "traditional" bowl costs a little under $4 and gets you a large scoop of delicious ice cream. I thought it was a bit pricy at first, but after devouring it, soooo worth it. The only thing I don't like about their ice cream are the giant chocolate chips inside. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate and having to crunch giant chips is a bit annoying. Fortunately, there was only one monster-sized chocolate chip in the cup so I didn't waste too much. As for this location, I wanted to linger a bit more but my husband was eager to get our ice cream and head out the door to the plaza across the street. I didn't really get to explore but I did spot a little bakery area with cookies, homemade candies, treats, and gifts in additon to the ice cream counter. A few vintage-y tables are available for a place to sit down. Overall, pretty cute place. Can't wait to get my hands on some more Graeters again! read more

Gem! Awesome ice cream! Had a Sunday tasted freaking amazing!! The chocolate chips are no chips, they are more like huge fudge chunks! The staff is super friendly and you can sample flavors before deciding. Plus some locations also carry bakery goods. The quality is all Graeter's. Translated, that means graet! 100% recommend! read more

We are huge fans of Graeter's and have been to many of their locations. We went to the Clifton one last night. It's smaller than most I've been to, but is very charming and I actually prefer the size. They have everything that all the other ones do yet the people serving up the sweet concoctions were very nice and friendly. The flavor of their ice-cream is a notch above any other ice-cream I've ever tried. read more

Went to Graeter's during a visit to Ohio because you're just supposed to. I had the butter pecan and raspberry sorbet in a waffle cone. While the service was great, I found the ice cream to be too sweet and rich for my liking and left me quite dehydrated and unable to finish the whole cone. I felt it was a little pricey coming out to $10 for the two cones we ordered but got to add it to the Ohio must-have experience checklist read more
This place has fast service, very friendly staff and delicious sundaes, shakes, and sorbets. I highly recommend their watermelon Sorber or their signature chocolate cherry ice cream. Located right down on Ludlow Avenue it's centrally located in a nice buzzing district of Cincinnati. There's a few small seats inside to sit at as well as a little bakery in the place to get cookies and other small treats. read more
Service was excellent, that was the first thing that I noticed. Very willing to let you try any samples you want, but let's be honest, you're just going to end up getting black raspberry chip anyway. Went there with the coupon book from donating to the fund for children's cancer research. They had some difficulty with it, just be aware it may add a couple of minutes to your order that you weren't expecting. However, the manager handled it well. read more
Graeters is a Cincinnati classic - and this location doesn't disappoint! It's near UC and can get a little crowded at night, but overall it's one of my favorite locations in the Cincinnati area. If you haven't tried it, the black raspberry chocolate chip is the way to go. However, they have a variety of delicious flavors! Trust me, Graeters won't disappoint. read more

Just as you associate Garrett's with Chicago, Graeters is a well known Cincinnati tradition...but for ice cream of course. I was a regular at this place and now this has become a must stop for me every time I visit Queen City. I would always get mango sorbet and dark chocolate truffle in waffle cone. While this combo disgusted my friends, I think the richness of dark chocolate perfectly complimented and was cut by the tart and sweet mango sorbet. This recent visit was a bit disappointing since they did not have the dark choc flavor. Went with a different approach and tried the raspberry sorbet and bourbon pecan. Sorbet was a bit too sweet in my opinion but flavorful. Bourbon pecan was a delight, could actually taste the subtle sweet notes of bourbon! They come up with interesting limited and seasonal flavors as well- right now the whole pumpkin jazz is in full swing. Servers are incredibly sweet and efficient, hardly have to wait in line considering it's popularity. Have sundaes, pints, some baked good and candies too. - As lovely as this neighborhood is, parking is annoying. Street gets super busy in evening. Try street- couple blocks in. read more

A visit to Cincinnati is not complete without going to Graeter's Ice Cream! You can't go wrong with whatever you order. I've had everything from milkshakes, sundaes, and single scoops and have yet to be disappointed. My personal favorite is the Buckeye Blitz. Graeter's also recently made a "Boldly Bearcat" bicentennial flavor for the University of Cincinnati Bicentennial celebration this year and we ALL wish it was sold in stores. read more

You can't go wrong with Graeter's. It's just one of those facts of life. Some of the best ice cream you will ever have. I think my favorite thing to get is two scoops of Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip on a Dark Chocolate dipped Waffle Cone. True perfection. If it's someone's birthday and you love them, you should come here and get them any ice cream cake. They are AMAZEBALLS. This location also has the Graeter's Bakery in it which not all locations do. They have lots of yummy pasteries. This location is in the cool "Clifton Gaslight District". So it's always fun to go grab some ice cream and walk around the stores or the neighborhood. However, because of it's location this is one of the busiest locations to go too. If it's a weekend night, just attempt to go to a different one because this place will be packed. read more
So I know this is basically blasphemy here in Cincinnati, and I'm going get doused in hatorade for saying it, but I think Graeter's is just what the 3 yelp star rating says: A-OK. It's not the best I've ever had (by a long shot), but it's ice cream that tastes like what your grandma would have made for you on a hot summer day (if my grandma could make ice cream...). It's rich and creamy, which is what you want in ice cream. My only qualm is that the fruit flavors taste so artificial. Is it so awful slash difficult to have strawberry that actually tastes like strawberries? The best part about Graeter's is the chocolate chip part. Haha, they should just call it _(insert flavor here)__ Ginormous Block of Chocolate. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it though. But unearthing the whole block is probably my favorite Graeter's pasttime. I think I need new hobbies. Do I like anything there? Actually, there are a couple of flavors that I look for when I'm at Mejier, shopping the ice cream aisle which I will buy if they're on sale. Cookies n' Cream, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and Buckeye Blitz. They're always winners in my book. read more
