    Sweet ice cream spot, a nice and fresh variety of ice creams to choose from in the city.

    The menu is extensive
    Aja H.

    It's YE Gurl--eating ice cream like it's a civic duty and judging the playlist while I do it. ‍ Hello Honey - Downtown Cincinnati 3/29/2025 This stop was purely indulgent. We took a quick day trip to Cincy and made a pit stop with one goal: ice cream. Yes, again. Yes, we have a pattern. And this time the destination was Hello Honey, a local favorite known for its artisan flair. At first glance, we weren't even sure it was open--it was that quiet. But after some squinting and door pushing, we were in, only to find they were mid-menu shuffle and a few crowd favorites were out of stock. (Warm weather + weekend = expected chaos.) We waited behind a family of four in full indecision crisis and a woman who had to have sorbet explained to three confused kids. All in all, we had plenty of time to plan. What We Ordered: We all went for double scoops in a cup ($7 each). I had: Lychee Rosewater - floral and delicate Honey Lavender - subtly sweet with an herbaceous twist Let's just say: worth it. Clean, refreshing flavors that didn't feel heavy or overly sweet. Noticed the manager was hauling inventory to another location, so this downtown spot may be the quieter of the bunch. Which actually makes it great for a lowkey ice cream date or a solo treat-yourself stop. Plenty of seating in the back and a few charming items for sale if you like a side of retail with your scoop. Would I go back? Possibly--but I'm curious about their other locations now that I've had a taste.

    Friendliest service and I'm here for the cakes! Sold by the love, there are soo many to choose from - I went with Boston Cream and a small cup of Banana Honeycomb ice cream ($14 ttl) High quality and big enough to split with someone so it's worth the $ Lots of room inside and out to sit with a small group also- outside quite comfortable and aesthetically pleasing

    Banana honeycomb
    Gabbie B.

    A cute ice cream spot my friends and I stopped. They have so many unique flavors. The service was great and I got to sample a few different flavors. I tried the banana honeycomb and their coconut cream roll cake. The ice cream had the perfect banana flavor and sweetness from the honeycomb. The coconut cream roll cake was so good, I decided to order it for my birthday cake! It is so fluffy and full of coconut flavor. It reminded me of a coconut cream pie. I will definitely be ordering my cakes from here in the future.

    Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
    Lamia J.

    I had an opportunity to travel to Cincinnati a couple of weekends ago, and with the beautiful weather I needed some ice cream! Hello Honey's menu had some very interesting and tasty flavors. Unfortunately we were at one of the less busy locations, so some of the flavors were unavailable at the time we visited. That blueberry cheesecake ice cream though - DELICIOUS! Not overly sweet, the blueberries didn't overpower it, and the flavors meshed so well. There was plenty of seating and a small marketplace inside of the shop as well. I plan on coming back here the next time I am in the city!

    Was walking around Downtown when we strolled upon Hello Honey. An ice cream shop with multiple locations including Walnut Hills and Pleasant Ridge. They use only fresh ingredients and you can tell. The ice cream is made really well with just the right amount of sweetness. We've tried two flavors, brown butter caramel and banana honeycomb which were both delicious. The service was great too. The guy was really kind and answered all of our questions. There is no parking lot so street parking is or finding a lot nearby is what you'll have to do. The inside of the shop is pretty spacious and there's also plenty of seating outside. Highly recommend checking them out if you're craving a sweet treat!

    This ice cream parlor seems strongly of sewage. The ice cream tasted like heavy whipped cream then hard packed creamy ice cream. Most flavors are sold out and the ice cream cone is brittle. I'll stick to Jeni's.

    The ice cream tasted amazing and they serve flavors that you normally can't find at bigger ice cream stores. I love this because it made me be adventurous and try something new! Even though only one person was working, we didn't have too wait long for service, but waited a little while for our order but was worth the wait. There were quite a few tables and it was warm enough to walk through the park next to the shop. I would recommend trying the ice cream here.

    They're known for their marshmallows (made in-house and served a la flambé). I think this particular aspect of the experience fell off the wagon, because I thought they were *just* good - kinda under-toasted, more tough than melty. I ordered chai, but received some sort of lemony flavor. It was still quite good. In reality they have many gluten free options, but you have to ask for a "secret list." IMHO they could really improve the experience by listing the information publicly.

    B Day Dough with toasted marshmallow
    Lindsay S.

    Yummmy! Hello Honey's ice cream is creamy and full of flavor. I got the B Day Dough with a toasted marshmallow on top. The marshmallow was delicious. It tasted like a homemade marshmallow, the consistency was completely different than one from a bag. The B Day Dough tasted like cake with a small amount of sprinkles and chunks of sugar cookie dough. So delicious!! If you're in downtown Cincinnati I highly recommend stopping by!

    I used to frequent this location often because it's a nice walk from my place and I love the Honey Vanilla and waffle cones. The past few times I visited, the ice cream left an oily film that stayed until I brushed my teeth. It has been a few months but cannot bring myself to go back to this location. During my last visit, I sampled the Charcoal Sesame. I commented that it was good but I probably wouldn't be able to finish an entire cup of it. The woman behind the counter looked disgusted and said, "Yeah. Because it tastes like licking a Chinese wok at a Chinese restaurant." Although I am Chinese American, I have never considered licking this frequently used piece of cookware. She was very passionate about it so I will keep her comment in mind.

    Really enjoyed this ice cream! The texture is nice albeit a little sticky on the roof of my mouth (maybe high fat content/not fully emulsified?). I generally prefer sticky to icy though. The flavors are all unique but in a classic way - like cookie dough but several types of dough, etc. I wish we had arrived in time to try some of their more popular flavors but they had sold out by the end of the night. It was not the best ice cream I've had this year, but I will return the next time I'm in Cincinnati!

    A very quiet ice cream parlor that is just minutes away from Izzy's. We tried the brownie cream, peanut butter crunch, and mint cookies and cream. I am uncertain if it is our choices, the flavors, or the way everything was put together. Overall, we thought the three flavors weren't distinctively different from each other. Everything kind of blended together.

The inside of the shop is interesting, with knickknacks and things to look at in every corner- kids would love it for this reason! I immediately noticed that there were no prices on the menu... there were cups displayed on the counter with small/medium/large pricing but it wasn't clear what these cups were for- it looked like shakes. It was very off-putting for me to not know the prices of what I'm ordering, especially with more specialty items like cookie dough or coffee/ice cream creations where I can't predict a standard price. Second, there was only one dairy-free option... a cookies and cream ice cream. While it was tasty, it was my only option and that never feels great to order something because you have to. It also didn't have a description or any info available so I was left wondering what made it nondairy... almond? Coconut? Oil? Of course at a creamy whip type place I'm not going to expect the entire menu to accommodate me, but it's nice when there are at least a couple other options- especially with coffee, it would be easy to have a nondairy milk available or a sorbet/dole whip since they already carry many flavors. I tried a tiny bite of my husband's edible cookie dough and it was delicious! Seemed really sweet though- he could barely finish his side by side because it was so sugary--a good problem to have :)) I think I would go back if I had friends with me or happened to be in the area for Blink or the pool or something, but otherwise I would probably choose somewhere else where I have more options s and I know what I'm going to spend.

And it's such a treat to visit such a vintage spot in 2026! One of Cincinnati's true gems. The ice cream is consistently delicious! It doesn't compete with the other Cincinnati family brand in my opinion, but the diversity of the menu keeps me coming back. I got a pineapple mint ice cream soda, which was surprisingly refreshing and a really good balance of fruity and creamy. My husband got a sundae, which we felt was a little small compared to some of the other menu items - our friends got malts and had a whole other cup of malt available in the stainless steel cup that came on the side. I couldn't help but notice the portion size of that was inconsistent with some of the other items, and I made a plan to split a mall next time for a great value! The service is top-notch and there are very few places you can go to be waited on for an ice cream experience. Don't miss it!
