Thank you to a fellow yelper who recommended this! I had reviewed an ice cream shop down the street…read morefrom here and some one said Johnson was much better. They are correct. This is some of the best ice cream around. Open since 1950 this ice cream shop is sure to please! I enjoyed a flavor called carmel pie and it was delicious! It melted slowly and left a wonderful finish. The scope was huge and my belly was truly satisfied. My husband had the Columbus crunch and loved it. They have sundaes that I will get next time! ( the Irish crunch) Shakes, malts and pup cups for your doggies. Inside and outside seating. Plenty of parking nearby. Super friendly service. Small batch ice cream at its best! Single $4.00 double $5.50 and triple scoop $7.00 Choose this place over the other options nearby.

Traditional American ice cream with enough variety of flavors, including s'mores, some local themed…read moreOhio State University flavors, and a few others I'm forgetting? The result is pretty mainline American but still interesting and tasty. Service is good, portions are quite generous, there's some but not much seating outside, and sadly no bathrooms - so don't make too much of a mess!

I have been only to the original Johnson's Real Ice Cream in Bexley, but went to Italian Village…read moretoday to get a FREE birthday scoop. I went with Buckeye Fever and was not disappointed because the ice cream is still made in the original store in Bexley. I got excellent service from the two ladies at Johnson's and very friendly too. I loved the artwork of the different ice cream flavors doing things in their town. I will be going back to Italian Village location again soon and check out the other Johnson's Real Ice Cream locations around Central Ohio and will continue to visit the original store in Bexley.

There are a ton of toppings and drizzles to choose from and they even have smoothies and bubble teas! The owner told us they also have Dubai chocolate, strawberry cups, and Kulfii as well!

Good flavored ice cream with a multitude of flavors and combinations. If you pick a flavor you…read moredon't like then it's more of a you thing than them as most of the stuff here is customizable. Flavor profiles of the various ice cream combinations are there like if you choose s'mores then it'll have the classic s'mores ingredients such as marshmallow, chocolate, graham crackers. One drawback to this place is little to no staff. Not one did the one worker have to take all the orders but he had to stop and make each individual item himself. We waited 30-40 mins before eating our treat from the moment of entering, waiting behind 6 people, ordering ourselves, paying, staffer making it, and then giving us our ice cream. Also there is little to No seating inside or outside. 3 Stars for the wait, one staffer, little to no seating inside or out. This is the type of stuff you've kinda gotta eat while you're there or you'll have a soupy mess trying to get it home before it melts. Are you supposed to walk back in forth in that busy parking lot (cars do a clean 50 or 60 mph through the parking lot NO CAP) chomping on ice cream? Outside of this the product produced is VERY GOOD

It was -5° outside in January, and for some reason we had a hankering for ice cream. You would…read moreimagine that any ice cream shop would be a ghost town on a weekday evening during the most bitter cold weather we've had in over a decade in Central Ohio. Maybe, but Shake No.8 was not a ghost town. When we pushed open the doors there were at least a dozen other people bundled up in their winter parkas, enjoying shakes and sundaes. Proof that the ice cream is so good, you'll even walk through a blizzard for it. It was our first visit and the guy working the counter walked us through the menu and showed us photos of the menu items. We decided to keep it simple with a strawberry milkshake and a limited edition Dubai chocolate shake. His hospitality and service is top-notch. You can tell he loves what he does and takes pride in it. The pictures don't even do these shakes justice, they tasted even better than they looked! The pistachio ice cream in the Dubai shake was world-class; creamy, rich with chunks of toasted pistachios mixed in. And a strawberry milkshake with A SIDE OF CHEESECAKE?! I mean, come on. There is nothing more you could ask for. All to say this place is 10/10, no notes. I'll be back for the Biscoff shake. Not even a polar vortex will stop me!

Very old and not aesthetically…read morepleasing, also the seating barely exists and I find that problematic for an ice cream shop, especially in a location that is not very walkable. The ice cream, on the other hand, offers very unique flavors. My favorite is the lychee flavor for anyone willing to try more tropical fruity flavors. It is, however, still rich because the sweetness is close to an Indian malai sweet. In December, they had a buy 1 get 1 special, which was a great deal and I got 4 pints. I chose guava, lychee, and Reese's oreo for my son. Guava is not my favorite, it is a tangy more fruity flavor. I really enjoyed the honey ginger milkshake here also. They also had a 12 days of Christmas special to try different scoops daily, which I thought was fun. One thing to note about this shop is that it closes on after December 31st all the way to March, so if you need to get any flavors in, it's best to get the buy 1 get 1 deal before they close.

We are so lucky to have a place like this in Columbus! It's…read morelocated in the Mecca of all good Asian food: Bethel Rd, in the same plaza as Meshikou (aka some of the best ramen in Columbus). It has a variety of Asian desserts, drinks & boba teas. I had the Herbal Jelly & Taro which was pretty good but don't feel the need to repeat any time soon. I just wish they still had the Mango Pomelo Sago Bowl. They have turned it into a sort of smoothie with the sago in a cup, but I want the whole dessert version they used to do with the fresh fruit chunks, sago, ice cream, etc (look at older pictures on here if you don't know what I'm talking about). Atmosphere is great w/ cozy sitting & different kinds of tables. The place isn't huge, so it might not accommodate a big group if they're busy. Bathrooms are nice & spacious and well kept. Service is good. You can order either at the counter or at one of the two electronic kiosks. One big complaint for me is that neither their menu or the kiosk have any details on what is inside foot desserts & some drinks. Even in online ordering it's a guessing game. Overall, this place is a gem & has authentic offerings you might not find at other parts of Columbus.

What was different about this spot was: you can adjust the amount of sugar in your drink! I loved that you can make it less sweet if you wanted to. Most bubble teas are just too sweet for me.

Our Bubble teas were very good. and I will probably try the waffle desserts, next time.
