Tons of flavors and they even have a little bakery. We got ice cream and even a slice of cake to go and it all was amazing. It is a must visit.

We walked to this place from a restaurant. Talk about some yummy flavors. I had one that was almond joy flavor. It was so good. The ice cream is local and made in small batches. They also sell cookies and candy all made by them!

There is nothing to say about this place, but its the BEST!! Must try. We had the Black raspberry chip, Mint Chocolate Chip, banana split with both of those ice creams, ice cream inside of two cookies, and the buckeye blitz.

Most native Cincinnatians have probably been eating Graeter's since birth, and nearly anyone you talk to has a favorite go-to flavor. Just recently I've started to branch out from the famed Black Raspberry Chip - my longtime favorite - and it is absolutely worth the risk! I have yet to try a flavor I didn't love. Try something new with... More

They still make ice cream the old fashion way-full of real cream. I'm yet to have a flavor I didn't like.

We went to the downtown Cincinnati location. It has limited seating and we had to wait for a table because there was a crowd there, but it was worth it. Best ice cream ever. Get something with chocolate chips, great big chunks of chocolate in creamy ice cream.

Graeter's has the best ice cream anywhere. They make ice cream the old fashion way with cream, sugar, milk-fat, etc so don't eat here if you're on a diet. And their chocolate chips are NOT the little flakes but big chunks of chocolate. Highly recommend Graeter's and you won't be sorry.
