This is my favorite ice cream in the world! I live in St. Louis, but LOVE this ice cream, and must have it every time that I'm in Cincinnati! Best flavor for me is dutch holland chocolate, and I love it in an extra sincere soda. This last visit was incredible, they looked packed but service is still fast. Love... More

No doubt the old soda fountain is cool and there all kinds of sweet ice cream treats available but the experience is over-priced. I further realize that this is the equivalent of a micro-brewery with small runs and relatively high expenses. It's just that with Graeters and United Daity Farmers both also in the Cincinnati market there are better values.

Very good ice cream. When you go into this place it is like you go back in time. They have ice cream, Sundays, sodas, shakes and awesome candy. Great hours too.

The best all around ice cream experience in Cincinnati. Graeters is great, but this is just a smidge better. This location is a blast out of the past.

I would recommend the original ocation on Madison Rd in Cincinnati for the atmosphere. The Montgomery location is just a storefrony in a strip mall - no soda fountain, etc. I judge an ice cream parlor on its hot fudge sundae and Aglamesis Brothers comes out very well indeed. The fudge thickens on on contact with the ice cream. The... More

Don't leave without getting a few homemade chocolates too. The soda jerk was friendly and made a great banana split!

This ice cream is every bit as good as Graeter's and is served in an old fashioned parlor in Oakley. Try some of their candies as well, they are delicious!

This has always been my Cincinnati favorite ice cream. It's not as well known being located only in Oakley and Montgomery, but their ice cream rocks! Enjoy this old world treat.

This little place screams history from the minute you walk in. Eating on original marble tables from the early 1900's sends your mind wondering how many people have eaten here throughout the years. The service is tremendous and the ice cream is even better. I had a scoop of mint chocolate chip and my fiancee had a scoop of strawberry... More

Great old fashioned and quaint ice cream parlor in Oakley. I don't like chocolate so this is better than Graeter's for me. Swiss raspberry sundae is heavenly- fresh made real whipped cream folded into homemade raspberry sauce- OMG, again I hate chocolate so I get it on starwberry ice cream or vanilla. Topped with crushed english walnuts- this is soooo... More
