“Lemon Sorbet to Die For!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012 NEW

After eating at a nearby restaurant for dinner I wanted a light dessert while I listened to salsa music on the square. Graeter's offered the perfect option at a great price. The scoop was huge and the service was great. A definite must when visiting Cincinnati. More

“Gourmet ice cream”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012 NEW

We had been recommended to stop by here on our trip. It was walking distance from our hotel so we decided to give it a try. I got caramel ice cream which was very good, rather pricey though. For a gourmet ice cream shop i would say the cost was average with with any others in the same buisness. I... More

“Ok, but not that great.”

If you ever had coldstone, you have had better ice cream. I had the chocolate chip raspberry. Nothing I couldn't find in my home state. Too much excitement. More

“The best ever. Period”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2012

This is the best ice cream in Cincinnati, or anywhere else for that matter. I have yet to have a flavor I don't like, and I have just about had them all! Any of their "chip" ice cream is amazing - it has huge chunks of chocolate from the french pot process they use to make their ice cream. It... More

“Best Ice Cream Ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2012

I have loved Graeter's for 30+ years and I live near a Graeter's store. The ice cream is always rich tasting and delicious, no matter what flavor you choose. More

“Perfect for those with a sweet tooth.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2012

The ice cream is hard to believe. Chocolate chip is really full of chunks and, seemingly, goes with all sorts of flavors, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, raspberry There are fresh flavors in season, peach, strawberry, etc. And that's only the beginning. Graeters has great bakery and candy sections , too. Cakes to order and an English Muffin bread perfect for breakfast... More

“Simply the best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2012

It is difficult to to describe Graeter's. It is simply the best ice cream you will ever eat - period. Believe the hype, especially if you are from out of town. Get to this place and order up the double chocolate chip, or the raspberry choc chip, or my favorites, the cookies and cream/cookie dough. It is all dreamy, and... More
