Well. Let me just say, I really wish all Graeters had bakeries!!! I live in Pittsburgh, and just in the last couple years we finally got a Graeters, which I was excited about (I had been to a couple Columbus ice cream locations). Somewhere in my mind I did know that Graeters bakeries existed, so when I noticed one on yelp while traveling thru Cincy, I wanted to try it out. Wow. Sort of glad I did...but also really sad because I live five hours away! I was amazed by the prices. I think of their ice cream prices as being a bit on the ridiculous side. But I walk into this bakery and am finding large slices of cake for $2?! And cupcakes for $1.29. And cheese crowns were somewhere in the $1.50 range. (Cheese crown=akin to a cheese danish, but it looks like they stuffed it into a muffin tin to bake--and every part of it is ten times better than any danish I know--plus I got the blueberry one, which totally reminded me of Elena's blueberry pie ice cream! How do they get such an amazing blueberry flavor??) Also, they had like ten different types of cake slices. I only got three--biggest regret of my week. (Chocolate--easily one of best chocolate cakes I've had; unusual depth of flavor...coconut--very good frosting, above average cake, not quite coconutty enough overall...strawberry filled cake--nice filling, great strawberry frosting, above average cake...also, all of the cakes were better when I let them warm up to room temp). I am counting down the days till I need to be anywhere near Cincinnati again!!! read more

Everyone I met on my first trip to Cincy has bragged about this place. All I can say is.....WOW!! I am glad I stopped here for a little treat. I heard the raspberry chip was to die for, so I sampled it and loved it! But I am a mint choc chip guy and their mint chip blew my sox off! read more

Graeter's Ice Cream - Small cup of mint chip w rainbow sprinkles.....heaven - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mason, Ohio

The ice cream scoops were super tiny, asked for a cherry and I didn't get one . But overall I had a great experience as always. The ice cream was delicious. read more

I love love love Graters ice cream. Whenever I'm in town I have to have some of the best ice cream hands down. I'm a little upset bourbon pecan chocolate chip is no longer available. Please bring it back! read more

Absolutely the best ice cream I have ever had. Along with stupendous customer service by Dick, who perhaps is the manager. I had the blueberry pie and my husband had his usual dark cherry. We usually purchase a pint each Friday but decided to come in mid week for a pick- me - up! Thanks Grater's! read more

This place is great! I gave it 4 stars because I believe more effort could go into their customer service, I often see registers open with employed cleaning or hanging around while there are over 20 people in ice. If it's the weekend during the summer or evening during baseball season I strongly encourage you go somewhere else unless you have over half an hour to just wait in line... Ice cream speaking? Their awesome! Location is nice, parking is great, and the place is always clean and nice inside. read more

a cincinnati staple. some of the best ice cream on the planet and i dont think im biased. so yeah ive been living in new york the past few years. and yeah there's a lot of great ice cream places. but please. you want the real deal you get your ass to a graeter's in the cincinnati area. there's nothing like it. they know how to do you right. their staple, the black raspberry chip. so good makes me wanna' slap yo mama. the rich and velvety smooth ice cream and those big ass chocolate chips. money. words cant describe what kinda' ice cream joint this is. they never fail. the customer service is great, you can sample whatever you want, enough places to sit. i know the cincinnati area isnt known for much. but graeter's is first class and one of the best ice cream places i've ever been to. remember the name y'all. read more

Back in the day when Oprah was still doing her thang, she turned on me to this place called Graeter's that supposedly had delicious ice cream. So naturedly, when I spotted one in the area I was staying to visit a friend, I made us stop. It didn't matter that we were on our way back from personal training or that we hadn't eaten lunch yet; Oprah said it was good, and god damn it, the fat demon kid inside of me was going to have some Graeter's! The shop is very pleasantly decorated and quaint. Staff was helpful here and more than willing to let me try a few flavors. Sampled the salted caramel which rung pretty high on my tasty list. Then I tried the black raspberry chocolate chip thang and was not pleased - it tasted like fake raspberry. So being dangerous, I opted for mint chocolate chip without trying it. It was tasty but really nothing special. I felt I could have gotten the same thing out of a carton. Portion size was good. Oprah...you have fallen in my eyes. Syndicated television be damned. read more

The ice cream is so good! I always come to this place every time I'm craving ice cream, you can taste the all the flavors and textures! This place will not leave you unhappy especially if you like ice cream or sweets! read more

This place is awesome! The ice cream was so good and the workers were some of the nicest people I've ever met. An employee named Dick went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience for us and our kids! read more

Graeter's is my favorite ice cream in Ohio--there I said it. Their ice cream is pure creamy/tasty goodness and their chocolate chip flavors are out-of-this-world, thanks to the delicious dark chocolate flavor of their chocolate chunks. This location could be one of their premier stores with plenty of sweets aside from the ice cream for sale, along with plenty of to-go tubs of their ice cream for sale if you prefer to eat your ice cream at home. Lots of seating inside and some seating outside as well, along with plenty of parking. As I just moved to Cincinnati and I live very close to this store, I'll be hitting this one up whenever my sweet tooth gets me. read more

This was the place to be!!!! Delicious ice cream, late hours and great staff. ..it was like a club, for kids & adults inside! We went there every night that we were in Mason. I can only brag about what I ate, so 2 thumbs up for the cookies & cream, the mint chocolate chip, mocha java chip and chocolate, whew, there I'm done. .....ok, we made a pit stop by the one inside Kings Island as well!! What can I say, you can't beat a good thing :-) read more

Next to Penn State Creamery Ice Cream, this is next best. Raspberry & mocha chip are awesome with large dark chocolate chunks. I can't wait to try there salted caramel chip. I am glad I tried it because that's what I ordered. Great service & clean. read more

It's ice cream, so you can't really go wrong (hence the 3 stars). It's not amazing (hence the 3 stars). After I went, people told me the only thing I'm supposed to get is the black raspberry chip. What kind of advice is that? If they can't make traditional flavors better than others, then they're just an average ice cream joint. I ate the cookies 'n' cream and was completely underwhelmed after all the hype. read more

really good stuff. I live in chicago and found out that they sell this brand and some whole foods, as well as some jewels!!! :)

NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM Wow. I lived in Cincinnati in the mid-'90s and back then I thought it was the best ice cream I'd ever eaten (and I'm an expert in ice cream). I wasn't sure that I would still feel this way after having traveled quite a bit and sampled a range of other great ice cream places. Well...it's still the best. It's pure creamy heaven with chunks of wow. read more

Would compare to Texas' Blue Bell. Great tasting ice cream, good variety and good quality product.

Their bakery is by far the best we've been to. The donuts and cream cheese crowns are a MUST try. Every time we travel through Ohio we have to stop. We have tried several other top rated donut places in the cincy area and NONE compare. Do yourself a favor and try the bakery you won't be sorry! read more

Black raspberry chocolate chip is delicious. Their chunks of chocolate ganache in every flavor are phenomenal. It's not my favorite ice cream in the world, but it's really good. read more

Been there several times now. Next visit will be when my mother-in-law comes out from CA. We want to show her the BEST place for ice cream... even if it is snowing outside and maybe a hot chocolate would be better advised... LOL! read more

Had the pumpkin spice with hot fudge while in season! It's mmmm, mmmm good!

Worth the 2 hour drive and soother the disappointment of Rained out baseball tournament

Awesomely awesome ice creamery!! Ask for the house special or a hot fudge browny Sunday!

I am a huge sucker for ice cream so when I saw this place near my hotel, I knew exactly what I was going to have for breakfast - ice cream!! The service was great. They let me try a few flavors and the portion size fora single scoop is UNREAL. The black raspberry chocolate chip is really good! It was so rich and the chocolate chips were a nice surprise. They aren't really crunchy chips either, they kind of melt quickly in the mouth. The coconut chocolate chip is also a nice flavor. Can't go wrong with this flavor. Also had the black cherry chocolate chip but it honestly reminded me of a cherry slurpee so I preferred the black raspberry ice cream more. Definitely check this place out! :) read more

Can't go wrong with this iconic tradition...! Great handmade ice cream. Many locations around Cincinnati. All have the epic ice cream.

This is a really great graeter's location. Very delicious ice cream!!! Must try! My favorite flavors are Elena's Blueberry pie and Toffee Chip. read more

loved the black raspberry with chocolate chunks. Rich and creamy with huge chunks of soft chocolate. It's seems to give u extra ice cream (I ordered 2 scoops and seemed like 4!) and we had it finished in almost a week! I recommend this ice cream parlor! read more

This Graeter's ice cream is always cheeful, clean and staffed with really friendly people. The manager is supportive of the neighborhood and it's probably one of the highlights of living Cincinnati. Maybe all of Ohio! read more

Graeters ice cream is so tasty!!! The experience starts when you walk in the door. From the delicious assortment of chocolate that greet you at the door to the friendly smiles and cheerful employees that offer samples and generously serve you while showing personal interest. I visited Mason for a week and went 3 times! Then I went to Columbus and did the tour and of course had more ice cream! I even found a location in Hicksville NY near where I live! Cant wait to visit that location. Thank you Graeter's!!! read more

I need to ship some of this ice cream back to California! I tried their black raspberry chocolate chip and strawberry cheesecake flavors, and my husband had their seasonal chocolate almond coconut chocolate chip - just amazing and unique flavors. read more

Best ice cream in the world, bar non! Buckeye Blitz is my fave!

Place is amazing. A must to take your family guests visiting from out of town. You can't go wrong. Peanut brittle is great too.

The ice cream was good but powdery and the place was crowded. It was expensive and quality didn't match the price. I didn't find the taste much better than a Baskin-Robbins. We were disappointed. The best thing was their butterscotch topping. read more

Hands down some of the best ice cream I have ever had. Definitely try one of the chips flavored! I liked salted caramel and peanut butter the best. read more

pam was extremely disrespectful. Ruined our experience we were regulars but now never coming back. thanks a lot pam

Ice cream is ok but the service is very slow instead of getting a larger group going they move to the next in line and the SLOW. Prices are high. There are better options for the $$$. read more

The staff is friendly and the ice cream is great. try "The Boss" with a shot of chocolate syrup (gotta ask for that). It is terrific. Kudos to the person who thought it up. read more

I'm not usually a fan, as their prices are a little high, and ice cream unremarkable. However, this time of year they have their egg nog flavor, and it is truly exceptional. read more

Best ice cream we've ever had! Service is excellent choices are plentiful. You have to try the chip variety of flavors...the chunks of chocolate are awesome! read more

I went to the Deerfield Location tonight to stop in and get pints of ice cream for my family. I was standing in line with four pints and Josh behind the register, stopped what he was doing and offered to take those out of my hand. He then told me that he would help me in a minute. I then was waited on so nicely, he was so nice and delivered EXCELLENT customer service. He took my gift card, asked if I had a frequent Graeters card I believe it was called and then served me so nicely once again. I then told the lady that I had never had such nice customer service. read more
