    Nice Ice cream joint downtown with creative flavors. I got Thai Tea in a cone. The cone was really long and awkward for the ice cream but it was overall good. Nice on a hot day.

    Sweet ice cream spot, a nice and fresh variety of ice creams to choose from in the city.

    The menu is extensive

    It's YE Gurl--eating ice cream like it's a civic duty and judging the playlist while I do it. ‍ Hello Honey - Downtown Cincinnati 3/29/2025 This stop was purely indulgent. We took a quick day trip to Cincy and made a pit stop with one goal: ice cream. Yes, again. Yes, we have a pattern. And this time the destination was Hello Honey, a local favorite known for its artisan flair. At first glance, we weren't even sure it was open--it was that quiet. But after some squinting and door pushing, we were in, only to find they were mid-menu shuffle and a few crowd favorites were out of stock. (Warm weather + weekend = expected chaos.) We waited behind a family of four in full indecision crisis and a woman who had to have sorbet explained to three confused kids. All in all, we had plenty of time to plan. What We Ordered: We all went for double scoops in a cup ($7 each). I had: Lychee Rosewater - floral and delicate Honey Lavender - subtly sweet with an herbaceous twist Let's just say: worth it. Clean, refreshing flavors that didn't feel heavy or overly sweet. Noticed the manager was hauling inventory to another location, so this downtown spot may be the quieter of the bunch. Which actually makes it great for a lowkey ice cream date or a solo treat-yourself stop. Plenty of seating in the back and a few charming items for sale if you like a side of retail with your scoop. Would I go back? Possibly--but I'm curious about their other locations now that I've had a taste.

    Boston Cream slice

    Friendliest service and I'm here for the cakes! Sold by the love, there are soo many to choose from - I went with Boston Cream and a small cup of Banana Honeycomb ice cream ($14 ttl) High quality and big enough to split with someone so it's worth the $ Lots of room inside and out to sit with a small group also- outside quite comfortable and aesthetically pleasing

    Banana honeycomb
    Gabbie B.

    A cute ice cream spot my friends and I stopped. They have so many unique flavors. The service was great and I got to sample a few different flavors. I tried the banana honeycomb and their coconut cream roll cake. The ice cream had the perfect banana flavor and sweetness from the honeycomb. The coconut cream roll cake was so good, I decided to order it for my birthday cake! It is so fluffy and full of coconut flavor. It reminded me of a coconut cream pie. I will definitely be ordering my cakes from here in the future.

    Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
    Lamia J.

    I had an opportunity to travel to Cincinnati a couple of weekends ago, and with the beautiful weather I needed some ice cream! Hello Honey's menu had some very interesting and tasty flavors. Unfortunately we were at one of the less busy locations, so some of the flavors were unavailable at the time we visited. That blueberry cheesecake ice cream though - DELICIOUS! Not overly sweet, the blueberries didn't overpower it, and the flavors meshed so well. There was plenty of seating and a small marketplace inside of the shop as well. I plan on coming back here the next time I am in the city!

    Was walking around Downtown when we strolled upon Hello Honey. An ice cream shop with multiple locations including Walnut Hills and Pleasant Ridge. They use only fresh ingredients and you can tell. The ice cream is made really well with just the right amount of sweetness. We've tried two flavors, brown butter caramel and banana honeycomb which were both delicious. The service was great too. The guy was really kind and answered all of our questions. There is no parking lot so street parking is or finding a lot nearby is what you'll have to do. The inside of the shop is pretty spacious and there's also plenty of seating outside. Highly recommend checking them out if you're craving a sweet treat!

    Charcoal sesame

    This ice cream parlor seems strongly of sewage. The ice cream tasted like heavy whipped cream then hard packed creamy ice cream. Most flavors are sold out and the ice cream cone is brittle. I'll stick to Jeni's.

    The ice cream tasted amazing and they serve flavors that you normally can't find at bigger ice cream stores. I love this because it made me be adventurous and try something new! Even though only one person was working, we didn't have too wait long for service, but waited a little while for our order but was worth the wait. There were quite a few tables and it was warm enough to walk through the park next to the shop. I would recommend trying the ice cream here.

    They're known for their marshmallows (made in-house and served a la flambé). I think this particular aspect of the experience fell off the wagon, because I thought they were *just* good - kinda under-toasted, more tough than melty. I ordered chai, but received some sort of lemony flavor. It was still quite good. In reality they have many gluten free options, but you have to ask for a "secret list." IMHO they could really improve the experience by listing the information publicly.

    I used to frequent this location often because it's a nice walk from my place and I love the Honey Vanilla and waffle cones. The past few times I visited, the ice cream left an oily film that stayed until I brushed my teeth. It has been a few months but cannot bring myself to go back to this location. During my last visit, I sampled the Charcoal Sesame. I commented that it was good but I probably wouldn't be able to finish an entire cup of it. The woman behind the counter looked disgusted and said, "Yeah. Because it tastes like licking a Chinese wok at a Chinese restaurant." Although I am Chinese American, I have never considered licking this frequently used piece of cookware. She was very passionate about it so I will keep her comment in mind.

    B Day Dough with toasted marshmallow
    Lindsay S.

    Yummmy! Hello Honey's ice cream is creamy and full of flavor. I got the B Day Dough with a toasted marshmallow on top. The marshmallow was delicious. It tasted like a homemade marshmallow, the consistency was completely different than one from a bag. The B Day Dough tasted like cake with a small amount of sprinkles and chunks of sugar cookie dough. So delicious!! If you're in downtown Cincinnati I highly recommend stopping by!

    Broken icecream cone
    Morgan W.

    Location is great to walk in and grab a cone. Every flavor on the menu sounded delicious. I ordered the biscoff and cookie, and a scoop of apple crisp on a waffle cone. Two scoops of icecream. My partner got a vanilla and chocolate flavor on waffle cone. The waffle cones are tall and skinny, and two full scoops of icecream were placed precariously on top. We received this cone, and asked for a cup, predicting that if the cone was not eaten with speed, melted icecream would drop off. We left the store, walked down about half a block. My cone completely broke apart, and I caught the two scoops in my free right hand. Structural integrity of cone for 2 scoops? 0/10 Crunch and flavor of the cone when crunched on top of said icecream, placed in a bowl? 6/10

First, it's…read morelocated in a really lovely part of Pendleton near a part of Broadway that's permanently closed for pedestrians and outdoor dining, so the ambiance is really nice. The inside of the shop is interesting, with knickknacks and things to look at in every corner- kids would love it for this reason! 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.

I warmed it in my air fryer for 6 minutes on 330 so it didn't overcook. The croissant was flaky and delicious, and the kimchi added good flavor without being spicy.
