Love the creaminess and breadth of flavors. My favorite is coconut chip and my kids love the raspberry chip. Chunks of chocolate so big you won't believe it! You can't go wrong. Their pastries are great, too!

Graeter's is the best ice cream in Cincinnati and maybe the world. Very rich and the flavors are always strong. Coconut is a must. I also love the coffee chocolate chip and the peach is seasonal and made with fresh peaches. Get it in a cup so you can eat slowly and savor every bite. Yum! Woth every calorie.

Like Skyline Chili, Graeter's was raved about by the fiance for years. Finally in town for the Flying Pig Marathon, I got to try it out. I ordered 1 scoop caramel and 1 scoop Buckeye Blitz. I thought it was really good, but it doesn't take the place of my favorite (Oberweis Dairy in Chicago). The fiance got the peanut... More

my husband is from Cincinnati, so as we returned for a getaway weekend, Graeter's was our first stop. Love the quality and the staff at the Fountain Square shop.

We are lucky to live in Cincinnati so we can head here often for the best ice cream ever! The flavors are all really good but any one with chocolate chips is to die for since they are unbelievably huge and delicious! If you are really wanting to indulge, the sundaes with bittersweet chocolate on top are divine. Whenever I... More

World class ice cream and some excellent candies and pastries. We are there just about every week. Unfortunately over the years they have discontinued some of our favorites such as their eclairs and chocolate almond yogurt cake.

The ice cream is rich and loaded with flavor. We loves the buckeye blitz but our hands down favorite is the black raspberry chocolate chip. Huge chunks of dark chocolate! The only problem was that there were so few places to sit. We had to take it back to our hotel to eat it. Without a doubt, we finished wanting... More

The ice cream is ok nothing special, sorry to let you folks from Cincy down. I have had much better, if you ever get to New Brunswick there is a place in St Martin called Mccabes that will blow this place out of the water.
