Had to get a sweet treat after dinner. Lots of flavor choices. The place was a little empty but as we were ordering it started filling up. We had apple pie sundae and a coffee cone. Both hit the spot. read more

On our long summer vacation we not only hit this place up in Kentucky Louisville, Lexington and after another place literally had no ice cream (yes an ice cream shop did not have ice cream, they ran out lol) anyway we knew hitting up this place would just be great. I mean you are guaranteed some delicious ice cream from any of their locations and it did not disappoint. Even my son who refuses to share with me, but has no problem stealing my shake, loved to steal my shake from here :P service was good and this place was cute. My son enjoyed his ice cream at a table with my hubs as I ran to get cookies around the block. read more

Got a chance to visit cincy and check out Graeter's Ice cream bakery, I've heard so much about their fresh bakery products and boy,,, they did not disappoint. The service was good and the store was really clean. Next time I will definitely try the chess pie! I got two cherry and cheese danish and one cinnamon sugar donut. They were all fresh and delicious!! read more

Was just ok. Nothing to write home about. Wait staff made it seem like we were bothering them. Ice cream was ok but just ok. I had heard how great it was but I just wasn't a fan of anything about this place. read more

Cincinnatians rave about Graeters. So much so that they sucked me into trying it. And honestly, I'm glad I did. This place kinda reminds me of Kilwins. Maybe it's the lettering and how it's setup but without the chocolate pieces for sale. And it's as popular as Jeni's in Atlanta because of the amount of locations across the city and and how many ppl rave about it. Since we were close to this one, we had to end the night with a scoop. The crew I was with loves the black raspberry flavor and that was my first sample. Wasn't much of a fan so I tired the boldy bearcat flavor and still wasn't sold on Graeters until I tried the Buckeye blitz. For the record, me, chocolate and peanut butter go together real bad so of course that flavor was a winner for me. I got a single scoop on a waffle cone and was in ice cream heaven. I'd definitely want to try the bourbon ball flavor next time. It looks like butter pecan. Service was great btw. They were very patient for this first timer. read more

Came here with a tour group. Most people were from out of town. The 2 workers couldn't care less. Didn't say anything about Graeters. My wife's and my scoops were disgracefully small. If I wasn't part of a larger group, I would have spoken up. This is my first time at the OTR location. I have been to other locations. Given that this tour runs every Saturday at 1PM is even more despicable. The tour starts at the tour operator directly across the street. The tour is a dessert and wine tour. read more

This was another stop of our Cincinnati food tour, although it might have been a silly choice because I didn't realize there is a Graeter's in Chicago... Anyhow, we tried the black raspberry chip and milk chocolate. Solid and creamy choices although I wished the raspberry flavor could be stronger and more intense. read more

What a great treat in the midst of this rain storm! The ice cream is so creamy!! The flavors are great I loved the Sorbet but the start to try here is the blackrasberry. It has chocolate with it and oh my my my. This signature Flavor is worth the stop! The store is so super cute but a bit small wh3n crowded. Not much sitting area. But great to run in and grab a treat read more

Greeter's was another stop on our Cincinnati food tour and it was so good!! There is a way they make this ice cream which results in a thick and creamy ice cream and some chunks of dark chocolate that really balances out the sweetness of the ice cream. The workers there were super friendly and the ambiance was spot on. We weren't there for long but if ever I am around another of these brands I will definitely be stopping in!! read more

Graeter's Ice Creams is a Cincinnati original and can be found in several locations across the city. It's family owned and operated. All their ice cream is made in small batches of 2 1/2 gallons. The resulting ice cream is thick, creamy and, of course, delicious. I went with the Chocolate Chocolate Chip. The chips are actually thinly swirled pieces of chocolate - so delicious. read more

Wow. This ice cream is truly the best I've ever had, and that says a lot since I eat more ice cream than most, and travel for work all over the USA, so I try the ice cream everywhere I go! $4.75 for a single on a sugar cone. Next time, I'm definitely going for two scoops!! It was so good! Friendly staff. Quick service. The freezer was stocked with so many incredible flavors, pints and quarts, plus ice cream cakes, but alas I'm staying in a hotel so I don't have a freezer. I can't wait to return. read more

Came here after dinner knowing this was a neighborhood local spot. Very good ice cream. My husband loves the large chunks of goodness in their ice creams. We tried the black cherry chocolate and the Buckeye Blitz. Both very creamy and generous scoops. Service: friendly and quick! Ambiance: places to sit inside and a small area to sit outside. Be aware there are quite a few homeless people in this area asking for money. It's sad to see but a reality in bigger cities. read more

Best in town! Would love to see just plain banana since I can't eat chocolate. Banana cream would be good or banana split with strawberries and pineapple. read more

I've been hearing about Graeter's for years but this was my first time to Ohio so I knew I had to stop in! I LOVED it. I got two scoops in a cup, black Cherry chip (which I don't usually go for but knew it was their classic flavor) and boldly bearcat (a seasonal flavor with mascarpone, Oreo, and chocolate chips). So flavorful and such good texture. The chocolate in the ice cream was so tasty and I liked that it wasn't tiny chips but varied chunks, some very large!! My friend got black raspberry chip in a cone and also was obsessed with it. We liked it so much that we both got pints to go, even if it was our last night there. She got coconut chip and I got s'mores. Somehow they got the marshmallows to stay soft which I loved. I don't think they sell it in stores near where I live but I'll try to find it!! read more

Who doesn't love Graeter's ice cream? We moved to California seven years ago and this was our first time back. We had dinner in OTR and had to pick up a few pints for the next night's dinner. We also got chip wheelies for a quick fix. The place is small and was crowded. However, since most everyone was ordering their fix at the counter and what we were buying was all 'pre-made', we were able to get in, pay and eat out very quickly. Graeter's ice cream is the best; I don't care where the store is. This particular store was an easy walk after dinner, so super convenient. read more

A little smaller than other Graeters locations I've been to and a little more expensive, but this location serves up all my favorite flavors with friendly and quick service. The 1870 tower is truly amazing with the perfect mix of deep chocolate flavor in the bundt cake, crispy pecans, creamy black raspberry chip ice cream, and some hot fudge to tie it all together. I also love cheese crown with the most amazing crispy and flavorful cheesecake bits. Caramelized chocolate truffle and black cherry chocolate chip are two other flavors which are truly amazing. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area for some amazing ice cream. read more

We stopped in Graeter's this afternoon for an ice cream treat. We had a double chocolate chip scoop in a waffle cone, a key lime pie scoop in a waffle cone and a scoop of buttery popcorn and a scoop of key lime pie in a cup. The three of us all enjoyed our treats. Service was great. read more

While walking to Washington Park, I stopped in here to grab a small bowl of lemon sorbet. It was delicious and, while the line was long, it moved fast. The building was pretty packed and we had to stand pretty close to other customers in the small space. However, it's a convenient sweet treat if you are already in the area. I wouldn't recommend planning on sitting indoors, at least when we went on a Tuesday evening, since it is pretty hectic inside. read more

Graeter's is the best ice cream, hands down. If you are visiting from out of town (depending on where you are staying), this may be the closest Graeter's since it's the one closest to the hip/trendy area of Over-the-Rhine. Graeter's are all over the Cincy area and I pretty much grew up on it because my grandparents live in Fairfield. Graeter's has been around for 150 years, so really, I shouldn't have to explain how good it is given they've got to be one the oldest scoop shops in the country. They are known for their MASSIVE chocolate chips and for their Black Raspberry Chip ice cream (a must try). My personal favorites are Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Double Chocolate Chip, Buckeye Blitz, Peanut Butter Chip, and Banana Chip (seasonal)-- the latter two using milk chocolate instead of their traditional dark chocolate. I actually live in Arizona now and I am SO BLESSED that our local grocery store (Fry's) is owned by Kroger and they have 7 flavors of Graeter's to purchase. Even if they didn't have that, I'd spend the money to get Graeter's shipped to me across the country. It's just that good and it will forever be my fave. So glad I made it to this downtown location on my most recent trip to Cincy! read more

Most disappointing trip to Graeter's , I don't go that often, when I do I always think the best ice cream ever. I don't know what was going on with the toffee crunch but not crunchy more like soggy stale toffee, the Dutch chocolate was okay but strange chewy stuff in it. The serving size was so small but that was okay because the ice cream just wasn't worth the calories. read more

As an out of town visitor, everyone recommended trying Graeter's and I can see why! There were so many flavor options that sounded amazing, but I ended up trying the Perfect Indulgence cookies & cream as well as the black cherry chocolate chip. Both of these are vegan, but they taste exactly like the dairy version. The toppings were huge (basically full sized Oreos & chocolate chunks) and the ice cream was so creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be back to try more flavors! read more

Graeter's made me believe in chocolate chip ice cream again. I've always found the chocolate chips in my ice cream to be rock-hard and stubborn pieces of chocolate that refuse to melt at the same pace as the rest of the dessert, so I was doubtful when I heard black raspberry chocolate chip was the best selling flavor. I confess I've been wrong all along, because Graeter's showed me that the impossible is possible, and chocolate chips can be delicious in ice cream. The way Graeter's chocolate melts in your mouth is magical. Fruity flavors can taste artificial sometimes, but this black raspberry was very natural and not overly sweet, pairing well with the chocolate. Coming from the West Coast, my expectations for ice cream are sky high, but Graeter's exceeded expectations in every w read more

Graeter's Ice Cream - Black raspberry chocolate chip in pretzel cone, actually soooo good - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This is the local institution of ice cream. Their specialty seems to be the chocolate chips that various flavors are imbused with, and I happen to be a mint chip guy, so this started out well. And the chips in my mint chip were indeed impressively rich, varied in size and texture as if they been passed through a wood chipper or something. It was an excellent flavor. The caramel flavor I sampled was also solid. I wasn't wildly impressed with their cones and just got it in a cup. They had some sorbets but none of the dairy-free creams that seem to be sweeping the country. This location had some bar seating, and was quite a good area, being near the streetcar and a tour company across the street. read more

I love Graeter's Ice cream. This location is right in the middle of OTR.. Living in Minnesota I can only find them in pint sizes, and the flavors are pretty limited. I always make a trip to Graeter's when I visit Cincinnati. I got the Boldly Bearcat on my visit, it was really tasty. I think it is my new favorite. The staff is very friendly, and very welcoming. I can't wait to visit again and enjoy another flavor. I recommend the Bodly Bearcat. read more

Graeters has great ice cream- this location is not great because parking is a pain in the butt. We ended up paying $7 for parking which was more than the ice cream. My chocolate milkshake was OK- honestly for $5 I should have gotten something else because it was just not super flavorful. read more

Love Graeter's and this location didn't disappoint. Great service and kids enjoyed the experience. The best I've cream ever for me. Also some great donuts across the street. Parking is tricky and walking around is fun but follow the street lights, cops are patrolling but people speed thru this area. Love the t shirt shop and restaurants definitely getting back to this area soon, always going to Graeter's!! read more

Graeter's Ice Cream - Happiness - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Fun Graeter's location in OTR. It has the feel of an old time corner ice cream shop. Located in Vine Street where all the action is, this particular Graeter's made me feel like I was walking back in time, in a good way. On a recent steamy Sunday afternoon I headed in with a friend for a cone and to cool off! A few samples later, I had decided on my old summertime favorite of peach. If you haven't had this one yet, I highly recommend that you get a scoop or two of Graeter's peach while it lasts -- it's one that many people anticipate all year long. The cool shop was just the pick me up that I needed on the hot afternoon. A few minutes later I was cooled off, refreshed, and ready to take on the rest of my weekend. read more

This was my first experience with Graeters Ice Cream. I've always heard wonderful things about the ice cream. I purchased a scoop of coffee ice cream in a pretzel cone. If you like salty and sweet this is definitely the way to go. My combo was a little weird but I wanted to try the pretzel cone. My ice cream was good but I guess I was expecting it to be spectacular. I felt for the price of $4+ it should have been a little better. My most favorite ice cream is from The Chocolate Moose - Vegan Coffee and still is. This seems to be a very busy spot. There were only three people ahead of us on a Saturday around 4 pm. The experience was fun and the staff was pleasant but not overfriendly or talkative. I like that you can sit and people watch. Lots of fun restaurants within walking distance. read more

Graeter's Ice Cream is always one of my favorites while in Cincinnati. At any location including this one the staff is usually always nice and friendly. The location of this one is on Vine St. in Over-the-Rhine which is a popular area. Therefore, it was a little crowded but the line moved pretty fast. I love the creaminess of their ice cream as well as the taste. My husband and I always order either Cookies & Cream scoops in a cup or a milkshake. Both are always delicious. The Cookies & Cream ice cream has a nice and creamy vanilla base with chunks of Oreo Cookie mixed throughout. Amazing! Sometimes you get the big chucks (half an Oreo) and I love those. I've tried maybe one or two other flavors but I always come back to Cookies & Cream. This flavor is also my husband's favorite so that's why we order it the majority of the time. I like it as well but we usually always share sweets anywhere we go so this is the one flavor we can agree on. Occasionally I will get Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough because that was my favorite flavor growing up, and I still like it as an adult. My husband doesn't like it so usually when I get this flavor we don't share but it's not often. Overall, Graeter's has some good ice cream and is my go to spot when I want a sweet cold treat. While we always get Cookies & Cream they do have other good flavors. Give them a try and I'm positive you won't be disappointed. read more
