After ice skating at Elm Street Park, we figured the next family stop had to be Graeter’s ice cream. We all tried different flavors—Buckeye Blitz, Coconut Chocolate Chip, S’mores, and their famous Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip—and everyone loved every single one.
It’s fair to say Graeter’s is batting 1.000 when it comes to ice cream. For what it’s worth, my brother always said it was his favorite during his medical residency in Columbus. It’s a local staple, and for good reason.
We’ll definitely be back.

Very nice ice cream. It is like European Italian one. Highly recommend the blackberry one.

Graeter’s Ice Cream was such a great experience we got it back to back nights. The first night I had the boldly bearcat, it was amazing different flavors bursting almost every bite. Brownie in one bite, the chocolate chip in another, another tangy flavor in another. Delicious and perfect creamy texture. My wife got the strawberry which she said was perfect and what all strawberry ice cream should strive to be. Creamy fresh tasting but not overpowering. The second night I had the peanut butter chip which was one of my favorite peanut butter ice creams I have had. It wasn’t like most where 1/2 way through you’re kind of over it I was fully immersed until the last spoonful of melted deliciousness was ate. My wife had the cookie dough chip which was also great and full of chunks of dough. Definitely a must hit in the area and we will most definitely be back the next time in Cincy.

A local business colleague who is an ice cream aficionado highly recommended I try Graeter’s ice cream during my Cincinnati visit, and being an ice cream lover myself, I had to give them a try. It turned out to be a great recommendation – I only now wish there was a Graeter’s in my home town!
I’ve been several times since, and although all the flavors I’ve tried are really good, their best really is the Black Cherry Chocolate. I’ll order this every time and never get tired of it. The ice cream has an authentic cream base, and they use quality mix-ins to create a perfect ice cream. So many premium ice cream joints use way too much sugar in their ice cream that it results in a sickly overpowering sweetness (there is nothing “premium” about adding twice the amount of sugar that anyone needs or wants). Not Graeter’s – their ice cream balances the creaminess with the sweetness, which results in a much better product.
The ice cream parlor also has an assortment of baked goods and chocolates, which look really appealing, but I have not yet tried them. At the very least, they have something for everyone.
Although I’ve only been here a few times, on two different occasions there were some boisterous altercations inside the parlor with loiterers coming in and creating a scene (unrelated to the business itself). Nothing dangerous, but take note that this location may have all sorts of people wandering through. In other words, you may get dinner and a show!

This was my first time eating Graeter’s since we were visiting from out of town, but well worth the stop. I had raspberry chip and it was great.

This location is very clean and the staff are friendly. They have a variety of non ice cream treats and souvenirs too. Don’t sleep on their mango sorbet, that flavor is phenomenal! Highly recommend stopping in for a scoop. They have pretty limited seating inside, but if the weather is nice there are plenty of tables out on the square.

Graeter’s ice cream shop downtown is great! The black raspberry chocolate chip was so flavorful!!! One scoop in a cup= $5 even or 5.25 in a waffle cone.They also have a key lime pie flavor that I’m going to have to try next time. You can get coffee here, donuts, cookies, candy, chocolate, and other goodies too. There’s plenty of places to sit inside and you can people watch at fountain square. Pretty cool! ⛲ ☕

I had tried Graeter’s in pints at grocery stores here in NJ, and had always found it a bit too icey and not creamy enough. I prefer brands like Tillamook, which I find much creamier. But on a recent visit to Cincinnati, some friends from the area insisted that I had to try ‘the Original’ Graeters from one of the shops.
I agree that it was better than the packaged ice cream I had tried before but I’m still not sure it is worth 5 stars. I tried chocolate chip, and while the ice cream was good, I was disappointed with the size of the ‘chips’. They were huge hunks of flaky chocolate. Too big for my liking. One piece took up the entire width of the cup!
In summary, very good ice cream…but not the best and flavor choice will have a big impact on your assessment.

French pot ice cream has a really silky texture. I loved it.
It’s mainly to take out, not cozy for lingering but it’s on the public plaza. Lots of little gifts too.
