In 1950 our Grandpa Johnson opened our first location in Bexley, Ohio and he has since been an inspiration to three generations of ice-cream makers. He started Johnson’s Real Ice Cream with a commitment to quality, community, and the simple joy of a cold ice cream cone (or pint, or sundae—there’s no wrong way to eat ice cream). Each flavor we make is a testament to the things he loved and a reflection of his personal quirks. He was a good man with a contagious laugh who worked hard and always had fun. Thanks for keeping his legacy alive by enjoying his famous flavors!
Local landmark serving housemade ice cream, sherbet & frozen yogurt in quaint digs.

Cute ice cream date night location! Patio seating with outdoor ordering window. We walked in to check out the pints of ice cream. The flavor names were unique and would make for a great “thinking of you” gift, will be back to grab a few.
We got a milkshake and a sundae, great flavor and many options to select from. Also sampled a few flavors.
Teenagers that were working were friendly and attentive. Could benefit from a manager being present to help with oversight – long line/outdoor window not being helped/tables needed cleaned, etc.
Plenty of parking.

Have visited and enjoyed many times over the years. Sometimes things just don’t click. That was today.
Visited began with a vehicle exiting the tight parking situation via the entry. Doing so slowly and all over the drive.
Great as usual greeting on entry. Ordered a hot fudge sundae. First attempt by male server turned out to be too much ice cream and an overflowing abundance of fudge. Looked like a creation by a kid. He threw that out and went for a banana sundae container
Ugliest and poor quality sundae I’ve had. One scoop of cookies and cream. That turned out to be stringy? The concoction pulled apart rather than slicing cleanly with the spoon. Huge splat of whipped cream that did nothing for the presentation.
Great amount of hot fudge. In all a sad soggy thing. At least the ice cream was cool. The hot fudge great tasting in moderation.
I had the ingredients but not the value
A note of interest. Take a look at your dining area and customers in the supposed four people booths. There is enough space in that area to enlarge them to allow four real papyri fit. Maybe a right die for kids and thin teens. For the rest?

While Jeni’s ice cream has been our go-to place whenever we visit Columbus. This time we got an opportunity to try Johnson’s real ice cream.
We were not disappointed at all. The flavors were good, the texture and creaminess was exactly as it should be.
Service was fast and friendly as well. We would definitely come back, if we are in the area. They had today listed some unique “favorite” flavors, which we did not try.
Look forward to trying them next time around.

They have pretty good ice cream and a lot of options. I got the Tropical Smoothie($5.45) and it was pretty good. However, there’s a staff member that is always rude. Everyone else is nice and accommodating but he always rejects every request you have.

Love it! My boyfriend and I are visiting and were looking for ice cream and stumbled upon here. Everything was amazing!! Will definitely be coming back if ever in the area. Their “Rollin’ in the cookie dough” flavor is very good and definitely a must-try!

Stopped by because we didn’t want ice cream from a chain. The boys working were very polite and the ice cream was great. My fiancé loved the raspberry cheesecake shake.

Johnson’s is a decent dessert place with warm dining room and friendly service. They have various flavors and types of ice creams. Samples and Wi-Fi are available. Highly recommend black raspberry flavor.

AMAZING ice cream! Seriously some of the best I’ve ever had. Very polite employees. Welcoming and friendly. Excellent customer service. And the ice cream, better than the competition. And they have sooo many flavors, it’s unreal. I have been going here for over 30 years now and I have always had nothing but great experiences every single time

The non dairy flavors were spot on! I’ve had plenty of ice cream shops non dairy options and this is up there with the best of them. I’m hoping they offer non dairy milk options in the future for their shakes, or maybe add another flavor. Honestly though, I’d just like to see the non dairy flavors offered at their New Albany location when it is feasible to do so.
The staff was also very friendly and knowledgeable and offered to make a spritzer that I wouldn’t have considered. Next time! Their portion sizes are great!
