    Decided to treat one of my accounts to a Graeter's sundae bar. It was super easy to order and the pre boxed set up made it easy to deliver and set up. I will definitely be doing this again soon.

    I've driven by this place so many times and had never stopped by until today. I was amazed at how big this location was - they even have a play place for the little ones. With that being said, it was crowded for a Sunday evening with so many families but ordering went smoothly. I tried their "midnight snack" seasonal flavor and it was delicious. It was creamy malt flavored ice cream with chunks of chocolate covered pretzels, peanut butter cups and brownies. It wasn't overly sweet and just plain delicious. Although the inside was busy, I liked that they had the option of a drive thru.

    Graeters is my favorite of the Ohio ice cream chains due to the more indulgent French Pot ice cream. This location is newer and their largest I think. It has a playland for kids so remains busy, especially if it's not nice weather outside. We stopped in on a January Friday night and they were busy! The drive thru was wrapped around the building and the playland was full of kids. But there were plenty of open tables to sit at and the scoopers were moving quickly at the counter. My favorite flavor is the Buckeye Blitz Chip - chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, and their chocolate chips. I also like Bearcat Blitz and sampling the seasonal flavors.

    Oprah Winfrey declared "Graeter's ice cream as the best ice cream she has ever tasted." What sets Graeter's ice cream apart? The company is owned and operated by the Graeter family for five generations starting in 1870 by it's founder Louis Charles Graeter in Cincinnati, Ohio. The ice cream is made in 2 1/2 gallon batches in their patented French pots. The process makes their ice cream denser. About 70% of the ice cream they sell contains chocolate chips. Unlike other chocolate chips found in ice cream, Graeter's pours a special blend of liquid gourmet chocolate into each batch and produces a chip that is not uniform in size. Additionally, they have stuck to the original recipe: cream, sugar (no artifical sweetners), eggs, and flavorings. The milk comes from hormone free cows and beet juice is substituted for food dyes. Their vanilla is imported from Madagacar. Eating ice cream is more than an experience for me, it's a passion. I make a point of stopping at as many ice cream palors as possible, especially if they feature homemade ice cream. I need to go on an ice cream road trip one day. At Graeter's, I had their Black Cherry Chocolate Chip ($5.25) ( 2 scoops), one of my favorites. It was smooth and creamy with black cherries and chocolate chips in the mix. The unfortunate reality of eating ice cream is that it diminishes in flavor the more you eat it at a single serving, so two scoops is what I usually order. I know it's Nerdy but it is what it is. If your are ever in the Midwest, treat yourself to a Graeter's ice cream.

    Fabulous Graeter's location on Bethel! Very spacious with plenty of parking and even a drive thru. Friendly, prompt service. Huge dining room with various items available for purchase on the show floor (pints, cakes, merchandise, etc). Enjoyed a dish with two scoops ($5.25) : coffee and black raspberry chip. Delicious and decadent as always!

    Brown butter bourbon pecan!!!! One of my favorite ice creams and will continue to be. I haven't been inside the store, but I do frequent the drive thru ever so often. For the most part-the staff is knowledgeable about their offerings. Most staff I encountered were nice and friendly. This place is close to me and offers the ice cream that I love so of course I'm going to be a repeat customer.

    I had a very lengthy review typed and my draft got deleted. So all I will say now is, I love that the play area stays open so late it's very convenient (an hour before the location closes in general) HOWEVER they need to clean the damn place! Both times I took my daughter we got immediately sick afterwards even with precautionary measures the second time, hand washing, hand sanitizer, I am not sure it's worth going back. I got so sick I am left with something called cough syndrome. I know they don't clean it because the first time I went a staff member went to make sure it was cleared out and then just turned the lights off/door. There should also be an age limit for kids in the play area, no reason 10 plus year olds need to be fighting 2 year olds over plastic ball pit balls. There were teenagers doing pushups on the seesaw. The ice cream is delicious, staff friendly, THAT area is clean and they keep the line moving.

    I haven't been to Graeter's in years. They've got a location in my hometown but I've since grown loyal to local Kentucky ice cream when my stomach feels up to it. It's expensive, but still quality ice cream. It's one of Cincinnati's proudest accomplishments. And rightly so! The staff is nice and they all seem to enjoy working there! They've got a drive thru, which is a unique touch. I don't think I've seen ice cream shops with drive thru as an option before. Anyway, it's a huge space. It's got an old school feel and a play room for kids. It's a noisy place since a lot of families bring their young children. The line can get long, but it seemed to move fast. My friend ordered the seasonal watermelon sorbet and enjoyed it. I was not feeling up to dairy products, so the girl at the counter recommended I eat a cone. She said that a lot of people order it and that it's really good on its own. They guy who rang us up at the register also agreed that the cones are fantastic! I enjoyed the cone that was partially dipped in chocolate. I'm not a fan of the parking lot. It just about gave me a heart attack. Children walking around here and there and cars coming in and out. I waited a few minutes before backing out of my spot.

    Ahhhhh yes. This Graeter's might as well be a candy shop in addition to an ice cream parlor with a playground.

    Buckeye Candy Company has 29 reviews, 28 of them are 5 stars. There's a good reason for this…read more It's a great candy store that's filled full of almost every kind of sweets and chocolates you can imagine from, hard to find, to retro and imports. What are some of my favorite chocolate bars that I found? Aero Zagnut Clark Heath Zero Chik 'O Stix Curly Whirly Skor (I just wish they'd carry Roshen brand, from Ukraine. One of the "hidden gems" in the chocolate world). Anyways, it's a great specialty shop to explore for yourself. You'll find many of your old favorites and maybe something new to try. 5 stars And Here's Another Morsel For You To Nibble On: * Use your Yelp check-in to get a 10% discount. * Wanting a gift for someone? How about getting them a selection of unusual chocolate bars? * They also have an interesting selection of sodas. * Be sure to check out their markdown section for some great deals!

    I haven't updated since they moved? Well, they moved, down the street a bit, into the old Swan…read moreCleaners. About 4 times as big, still stuffed with good things. Nostalgic candy, the latest TikTok trends, imports, seasonal, etc. Right now a lot of fun Christmas things. Raindeer poop gummies, old-fashioned ribbon candy, and much more. Plus some pop, fudge, bulk stuff, and a clearance table. Fun place, nice owners, astonishing assortment of treats.
