    Tonkatsu ramen
    Mike M.

    Finally tried the ramen. I got the raclette my son got the tonkatsu. The Raclette ramen was so unique and all the flavors from the broth to the pickled veggies, to the pork and raclette cheese were meant to be together. Creamy savory broth made me drink it out of the bowl. All the ingredients tasted so fresh and scratch made. We ate in the covered cafe space and the people were so friendly. One of the best ramen's I've had to date. I think it will become one of those defining dishes you can only get in the CLE.

    Bubble waffle

    It's a retro looking shop in a residential neighborhood. The line and the offerings are both ample on a good day, and I waited for a bubble waffle. The flavors are distinctive-one I was hoping for they were out of but I ended up with some interesting malted chocolate and something banana-based. A few non-dairy frozen desserts were available. The waffle browned nicely and made a great combination with ice cream from top to bottom. There was outdoor seating with a porta-potty set up and a water cooler that was empty, so bear in mind the limitations of the setting, but on a nice day this was clearly the place to be.

    Mason's Creamery is a Cleveland's classic that I only visited years after living in CLE. It's definitely a summer place to be (day or late night) where you can meet up with friends and family, bring your dog, and hang out on the patio. This place is consistently lively! Food: The menu features ice cream, affogato, and sorbet. You can order your favorite ice cream in a cup, cone or ice cream sandwich. New seasonal flavors are posted on chalk boards outside. You can also order Korean hot dogs! In colder months, Mason's Creamery switches to their ramen menu (watch their social media). It's so cool to associate this place with your warmest and coldest moments. You can order at a small shop inside or at the takeout window (samples available). I ordered forest berry sorbet in a waffle cone ($7). Sorbet was good, but a little watery. I usually go for sweeter flavors. Cone was sugary and delicious! Easily the best cone I've tasted locally! Service: Service was very quick and pretty pleasant. The line moved fast. Seating: Plenty of covered and uncovered seating is available outside. There are tables and benches to accommodate all kinds of groups or solo visitors. There are also cool string lights in the evening that add to the whole vibe. No indoor seating is available, just patio. Parking: No onsite parking is available, park on the street. Ohio City is a challenging parking destination but it's well worth. I'll try other ice cream and sorbet flavors next time. I also really want to try their ramen! I've heard so much about it!

    Visited Mason's Creamery today to try their ice cream. To my surprise, they offer affogato, which is traditionally made with Italian ice cream and Italian espresso. To my dismay, they don't use Italian ice cream or Italian espresso. But it was still pretty tasty. They do need to improve the presentation because it was just vanilla ice cream floating in a bowl of espresso. I also had one scoop of ice cream in a bowl and it was tasty. Good stuff!

    This place knows what they are doing. It's always busy. They don't always have flavors I love. I wish they had a few more traditional ones. I love that Bubble Waffles, which you have to order at the register. Then they give you a pager that will beep when ready and you pick it up at the outside window. The Waffle is wonderful. Fluffy and has a slight maple syrup flavor. The Maple Bacon flavor is great as was the White Rabbit. The Peach didn't taste much like Peach. I really appreciate a place that makes their own whipped cream as opposed to the kind in a can with terrible ingredients.

    Cute spot with ample outdoor seating and a fun atmosphere. The ice cream was phenomenal. I got the cookies & cream which was stuffed with cookies and the honey cornbread that I'm still thinking about. An unexpected flavor with large chunks of moist cornbread. The also have bubble cones which looked and smelled amazing (next time!) Small is 2 scoops $6 Medium is 3 scoops $7 Milkshakes are 4 scoops $8

    QUICK REVIEW (if you don't want to read the long review below): Quaint Ohio City neighbourhood ice-cream shop owned by husband and wife couple, Jesse Mason and Helen Qin. Serving up unique flavoured ice-creams from cardamon to ube along with Korean-style corn dogs all year round plus ramen in the winter months. Owners moved from Los Angeles, CA to Cleveland, Ohio in 2013 and local Clevelanders like myself are happy they did. LONG REVIEW: ** 5/5 stars for their tasty ice-cream** (I'll update it once I try their ramen and winter menu) I've been to Mason's Creamery approximately 8 times or more. I visited recently in August 2024 for a friend's going-away gathering before she moved back home to Houston, Texas. ORDERING -- outside at the booth or inside. It's a very small ice-shop but if you're new, I suggest ordering inside where you can see the full menu and ask questions. Their limited ice-cream menu is also posted outside. SEATING -- Patio-style. They have chairs all outside the ice-cream shop including a section at the back with about 3-4 tables. For my friend's going-away social, we (about 6 of us) sat at one of the tables/chairs at the back. There is no inside seating. ICE-CREAMS -- I got the small Cardamon flavour in a cup ($6). It was such a light and airy ice-cream yet filled with flavour. They sell ube, strawberry, chocolate, and much more flavours. They also have some seasonal or temporary flavours that appear once in a while. You can get ice-cream in a cup, cone, waffle, or in a cookie as an ice-cream sandwich. Since they produce small-batch ice-cream, they may run out of certain flavours during the day although that's never happened to me when I've visited. KOREAN CORN DOGS ($6 - $7) -- Choose from beef, cheese, vegan, or half and half (half cheese and half beef). As someone who prefers to eat healthy 95% of the time, I surprised myself by ordering a beef corn dog topped with potato during my August 2024 visit. Yea, it isn't the healthiest food in the world but it was so delicious. I got the yum-yum sauce on If you know me, I almost never eat corn dogs or beef hamburgers but my friend Naila persuaded me to get one as everyone was leaving. I remember eating hot dogs all the time when I was younger but little did I know that years later, Korean Corn Dogs would be a popular development (haha). I ate my potato topped beef corn dog in pure happiness in-between helping my friend move and pack up her apartment, along with the cardamom ice-cream that I got. Writing down my thoughts now 3 months later makes me want to order the corn dog and cardomon ice-cream again. Support local and visit Mason's Creamery today. They are closed on Monday's and Tuesday's. P.S. Now that it's winter, I'd love to return to try their winter offerings (ramen, pork dumplings, and Tonkotsu). I heard it's not the best ramen but maybe it's worth a try. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 130/150 total reviews in 2024 - 779 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 11 December 2024

    Bubble waffle with strawberries & cream and fruity pebbles
    Hannah S.

    The bubble waffle is very soft and melts in your mouth. The ice cream and waffle combo is a must!

    We stopped by Mason's on a whim on a Saturday night. Naturally, there was a line right out the door but it moved quickly. Lots of street parking although we didn't see a designated lot. They have the cutest outdoor seating options with lights strung up. We opted to walk around while we ate but it looks like a great gathering spot for friends or to take a date. They have both dairy and vegan ice cream options. Flavors were very unique. I opted for Butterfinger and Strawberries & Cream. My husband had Butterfinger and White Rabbit Candy. We both got smalls which were very generous 2-scoop servings for $6 each. The value is great. Everything was delicious and they allow you two free samples to try before you buy. We will definitely come back - it's nice to have an alternate option to Mitchell's when we're in Cleveland.

    Flavors one day in July 2025.

    Delicious ice cream and tons of outdoor seating, including plenty of covered areas. Flavors change regularly, the apple pie was a bit intensely sweet, while the twinkle was interesting and tasty, exactly as you'd expect a Twinkie mixed into vanilla ice cream to be. Inside is small, the line moves at a good clip so even if it spills out the door and onto the sidewalk I wouldn't stress. They have delicious looking fancier options (egg waffle cone, root beer float, etc.) but we skipped those as do take longer, and we had our priorities - the generous scoops of ice cream in waffle cones!

    The flavors of ice-cream are very different. The ice cream it self is very soft. They have outdoor seating. The restroom is outside in outhouse. The service is 5/5 they are super nice and welcoming.

    We love this place! Delicious ice cream. I love the vegan options!!!! We ordered their ramen for takeout once, can't wait to try again!

    Masons is one of the best ice cream stops in Cleveland!!! They have classic flavors but also REALLY unique flavors that are always so fun to try!! ... one of my favorites is the Ube flavored ice cream! (Ube is a yam native to the Philippines) it's naturally purple & the ice cream is purple!! They also offer many different treats like ice cream sandwiches, Korean corn dogs, banana bread splits, bubble waffle, ect!! I can't wait to come back and try even more flavors.... Plus fall is coming up and I can't wait to see what flavors they come up with!! Happy munching!!!

    Is there a place to eat inside during the winter?

    Hi Alex, there is a heated vestibule with limited seating and we also have a heated enclosed tent with additional seating.

    Do you still serve the ramen with raclette as seen on DD&D?

    Hi Jean! Thank you for asking. We serve ramen in the fall and winter, usually starting around early November, so we do not currently have it. It’ll be back on the menu then. However we plan on doing a ramen pop-up sometime in the next few weeks… Read more

    Do you have a large selection of egg-free ice creams, or an easy place to see your info? Our daughter is allergic to eggs and peanuts, and we've found creameries can be tough for her, but we wanted to bring her by to try it while we're in Cleveland!

    Hi there! We are currently operating as a ramen shop for the winter until 4/3 when we will be back as an ice cream shop if you’re planning to visit Cleveland soon. Once we switch over, our ice creams are all egg-free (although we do use eggs and… Read more

    Are you closed Sundays now?

    No, we're not - usually open 2-10pm summers and 2-9pm in the fall/winter, but today (8/20) the city told us around 4:30pm that they were working on a broken water main and had to shut off water to the shop for 3+ hours, so we had to close short… Read more
