Golden Gelato is known for its small-batch gelato and sorbet made from scratch using locally sourced ingredients, and it absolutely lives up to the hype. We tried the Biscoff flavor, and it was phenomenal. Perfectly creamy with a rich, indulgent taste that captured the essence of Biscoff spread exactly. They regularly rotate their flavors, so there's always something new to try, which makes each visit feel a little different. Highly recommend stopping by, especially if you're a cookie butter fan! Service was okay I will say they seemed like they were rushing us and short with us. read more

This is now my favorite ice cream/gelato in the city. I got two flavors, hazelnut and passionfruit cheesecake. I could have cried it was so good. I will be back; I LOVE hazelnut gelato and I can never find a simple hazelnut base gelato anywhere in the state. Now I can!!!!! Amazing showstopping gelato.

The amount of times I've driven across the river to get Golden Gelato is laughable at this point. They are always friendly and will let you try a couple samples. The flavors are great and love the new flavors weekly to sprinkle in with the staples. The texture is so smooth! My wife and I enjoy sitting at the window seat in the main shop, but plenty of extra seats in the space attached. I almost didn't want to review because I want to gate keep but this place is just amazing and I think everyone should try it. read more

My son and his friends enjoy outings to Covington. After taking me out for a Mother's Day Brunch, we walked about a block away because he thought I would really enjoy the gelato at Golden Gelato. It was a quaint shop with all of these wonderful flavors. Truly, it's hard to decide. I sampled two flavors and got a medium-sized container with a scoop of Biscoff and a scoop of Pistachio. They are two of my favorites and they did not disappoint. The Biscoff gelato is smooth and creamy with a light cookie flavor. You get a bit of cinnamon and caramel, like the taste of a Biscoff cookie. Pistachio Gelato was delicious. The pistachio flavor is soft and real--not fake or too strong. It's simple, smooth, and a nice change if you're in the mood for something less sugary. There was an indoor seating area there, so we opted for that. I will definitely be back to try many of their other offerings. read more

I'm so glad this little gem is part of our community! The best gelato I've ever had! The shop has rotating weekly flavors which keeps it more exciting. The workers were super kind and let us sample different flavors. We sampled pistachios, hazelnut and stracciatella (chocolate chip). All were amazing but we ended up going home with a pint of the pistachios. The flavors are vibrant and the gelato is super creamy. They also sell pints at St. Francis Apizza in Hyde Park too. read more

Easily some of the best gelato I've had -- fresh ingredients, rotating flavors, and perfect texture. The store may look humble on the outside, but this place is the real deal. Simple setup when you walk in with the fridge straight ahead. We were greeted warmly by the staff and they gave explanations for many of the flavors that were available. They genuinely seemed excited to share what they had to offer with us. We ordered the Fiore di latte, dark chocolate, berry cheesecake. Every flavor was a banger. Deep, rich, and creamy with strong flavor. You honestly probably couldn't go wrong with any of their flavors. Will definitely be back when we are craving gelato! Looking forward to the summer already. read more

I'm a big fan of gelato, especially pistachio gelato. Golden Gelato's Sicilian Pistachio is excellent, you can really taste the true flavor of pistachio. The texture is nice and creamy. Small batch, local owned, very friendly, and a good assortment of seasonal and classic flavors. We ended up getting a pint so we could enjoy more at home. Their prices are quite reasonable for the quality too. read more

My daughter and I were in the mood for a delicious dessert on a beautiful day. We decided to try Golden Gelato and were very pleased with our choice! My daughter decided on the Biscoff and the blueberry mascarpone in the waffle cone (that is what drew us in the first place, the smell of the fresh cones being made...). The gelato was perfect, the flavors were so fresh and delicious. I asked if we could buy the cones to take home.... They're that good!! I ordered one scoop of the black cherry/chocolate cake flavor (forget the original name) and it was insanely delicious! We will be back to try the rotating flavors and they also have a super cute game room/sitting room that is connected called "the lounge" and there were nice sitting areas and games! Friendly staff and the prices were very reasonable! Thank you for the wonderful gelato and fun experience!! read more

Best. Gelato. Ever. This is my go-to for any time I want some kind of frozen dessert. Their options always rotate and they include seasonal options. The one flavor they have every day is biscoff, which is great because it's my favorite. I've enjoyed the pistachio and stratachella flavors. They also include vegan options daily. Service is always excellent. It's a tiny place, but they have seating in the room next to theirs, as well as a couple of tables outside. Highly recommend. read more

Facciamo una passegiata nel Cov! Walk south on Madison and turn west on Pike. Golden Gelato. Two scoops -- stracciatella and pistachio -- boom! Transport to Bella Italia without the scary, improbable, but mysteriously operable physics of Italian vehicular traffic. This is good stuff. Buonissimo, as they say. Choose traditional Italian flavors (see above) or local ones like Bourbon Old Fashioned or Pumpkin Spice. (See photo.) The friendly gelataio invited our dogs inside and offered them an Italian version of a pup cup --Fior di Latte -- milk gelato. Lucky dogs. (Golden Gelato also makes dog treats, the proceeds of which are donated to a local rescue.) We sat outside (one bench and one cafe table available), watching the Covington traffic -- on foot, wheels, and rails -- go by. Un gustino della dolce vita!! read more

Golden Gelato is one of the more underrated joints in Cincinnati. I've never been to Italy, but I find it hard to believe that they're putting out a better product than what GG is doing here stateside. Consistently friendly folk who know their way around the cream. They put out their starting lineup every week and I challenge you to find a flavor that doesn't deserve a fist pump or two. On this occasion I got the Biscoff x Blueberry Basil combo to pay homage to my main man LaVar Ball and his beautiful family. Go support the only 513 cream that makes Graeter's look a little less special. Little spoon required. read more

We stumbled upon this gem!!! Hubby and I love our gelato and when in Italy we have gelato once or even twice daily. We've missed it so much until now. We had a affogato and a waffle cone with their white coffee flavor. It was so good!!! Not overly sweet and very creamy. Their goat cheese flavor and pistachio was to die for. The waffle cones were crispy and tasted a bit of cinnamon. Loved their space too. They have a whole room next door with comfy chairs and tables and games. Such a great place to bring friends and hang out. The guy behind the counter was so friendly and really sold the flavors. Loved this place! read more

You have to check this place out if you're in the Covington area! The lovely owners were working and were so helpful and personable. Although there are only about ten flavors of gelato/sorbet at a time, I hear that they rotate through flavors. So you'll have to come back at different times to enjoy them all (I see you marketing strategy )! I got the dark chocolate and stracciatella (basically chocolate chip). Very yummy and even though I got the smallest serving size, I was still able to pick two flavors. Also, using the little spoon helps to enjoy it longer! There's a bit of seating in the main area, more in this other room on the right and some outside. Not a ton of seating, so our larger group just gathered outside and enjoyed the night. read more

Better than ever. I finally got to stop by again and had a chocolate chip gelato and a salted caramel gelato. Both were some of the best I ever had. Just to let you know it's $4.25 for one flavor and $5 for two flavors. Go for two. Service is always very friendly and helpful. Do note that there is meter parking just outside the business. The first 15 minutes are free but you can go back outside to push the button again to get another 15 minutes. There is a pay lot across the street but they charge too much and I was cautioned to not use it. By the way I finished my gelato in less than 15 minutes. It's that good. read more

Amazing! I came here with my family on a Sunday night. The owners, husband and wife duo, were still churning out fresh batches of gelato! They were the sweetest people, and you can tell they're passionate about what they do. Between the three of us, we got salted caramel, white coffee, biscoff, dark chocolate sorbet, and campfire s'mores. They were all amazing. The dark chocolate sorbet is not like fruit sorbets you're probably thinking of. It's super rich, creamy, fudgy, and velvety smooth. It reminded me of ganache! I also tasted the lemon cookie, which was delicious as well. My family and I can't wait to come back! This will probably be a regular spot for us. Update: we came back two days later! We tried the blueberry mojito sorbet, blueberry mascarpone, and malted Oreo! They were all amazing. Their menu changes daily, so make sure to check their Instagram stories for the daily offerings! read more

An old-looking part of Covington holds this gelato store. Seems like they're making things fresh. They didn't actually label their gelato, so I had to get the flavors explained. They had a good mix, including the all-important mint chip as well as some classic fruit candy flavors. The goat cheese and blueberry delivered a robust flavor mix. My mint chip had the sort of fine bittersweet chocolate flakes one gets from Italian places. And for the quality of gelato I got, it was a good amount for the price. They had some tables on the sidewalk if you wanted to eat there. read more

I immediately noticed that there were no prices on the menu... there were cups displayed on the counter with small/medium/large pricing but it wasn't clear what these cups were for- it looked like shakes. It was very off-putting for me to not know the prices of what I'm ordering, especially with more specialty items like cookie dough or coffee/ice cream creations where I can't predict a standard price. Second, there was only one dairy-free option... a cookies and cream ice cream. While it was tasty, it was my only option and that never feels great to order something because you have to. It also didn't have a description or any info available so I was left wondering what made it nondairy... almond? Coconut? Oil? Of course at a creamy whip type place I'm not going to expect the entire menu to accommodate me, but it's nice when there are at least a couple other options- especially with coffee, it would be easy to have a nondairy milk available or a sorbet/dole whip since they already carry many flavors. I tried a tiny bite of my husband's edible cookie dough and it was delicious! Seemed really sweet though- he could barely finish his side by side because it was so sugary--a good problem to have :)) I think I would go back if I had friends with me or happened to be in the area for Blink or the pool or something, but otherwise I would probably choose somewhere else where I have more options s and I know what I'm going to spend.

And it's such a treat to visit such a vintage spot in 2026! One of Cincinnati's true gems. The ice cream is consistently delicious! It doesn't compete with the other Cincinnati family brand in my opinion, but the diversity of the menu keeps me coming back. I got a pineapple mint ice cream soda, which was surprisingly refreshing and a really good balance of fruity and creamy. My husband got a sundae, which we felt was a little small compared to some of the other menu items - our friends got malts and had a whole other cup of malt available in the stainless steel cup that came on the side. I couldn't help but notice the portion size of that was inconsistent with some of the other items, and I made a plan to split a mall next time for a great value! The service is top-notch and there are very few places you can go to be waited on for an ice cream experience. Don't miss it!

The old-school charm of the shop, with its vintage chairs and ice cream diner vibe, felt like stepping back in time. My wife and i decided to indulge in a sweet treat and as we waited for our orders. She opted for two scoops of chocolate and coffee, while i chose a unique sundae named bourbon it has vanilla, chocolate, and coffee all topped with hot fudge and caramel. Each bite was bursting with flavors that were both rich and unexpected, thanks to their homemade creations. The attendant proudly shared the shop's history having been open since 1908, adding a layer of nostalgia and authenticity to our experience. Walking away, i couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to experience such a delightful spot. The combination of rich history, exceptional flavors, and friendly service made Aglamesis Brothers a must-visit for anyone in Cincinnati seeking a memorable ice cream parlor experience. I'll definitely be back to savor more of their creations and to delve into the stories of their long-standing tradition. Until then, thank you for a truly delightful journey!

Rhino's Frozen Yogurt & Soft Serve

I went in expecting gas station snacks and walked out questioning everything I thought I knew about…read morefrozen yogurt. Rhino's Frozen Yogurt is hands-down one of the best frozen yogurt spots around, and yes... it's inside a gas station. Plot twist of the year. The frozen yogurt itself is fantastic--smooth, creamy, and packed with flavor. There are tons of options, from classic favorites to fun, unexpected flavors, and then there's the topping bar... which is borderline overwhelming in the best way possible. More than 100 toppings. Candy, cookies, fruit, sauces, crunchies--you name it. Decision fatigue is real, but worth it. What makes it even better is the sheer absurdity of the setting. One minute you're pumping gas or grabbing a drink, the next you're building a frozen yogurt masterpiece like you're in a boutique dessert shop. It's confusing. It's delightful. It's genius. If you've ever wanted top-tier frozen yogurt in the most unexpected location possible, this is your place. Come for the gas... stay for the yogurt... leave wondering why all gas stations haven't figured this out yet.

Excited to say I will be back!…read more I love frozen yogurt places because I can choose what I add to my bowl and the variety of it. Rhinos has the most options of actually good flavors and topping options I have EVER seen. I specifically loved the vanilla soft serve(very creamy), and for FroYo (cookie dough, birthday cake, cookies and cream, cake batter). The cashier guy was super nice and friendly, and they continuously were restocking the toppings since it was very busy on a Saturday night.
