    Cotton candy
    Karen M.

    Loved, loved loved our shakes! My grandson got the cotton candy and I got a butterbeer. We loved them and even though it was huge....and I mean huge...I pretty much finished all of mine. The seven year old was not even close. Both of these with all the flavors and the toppings were so good! I just can't say enough. The service was wonderful. The place is adorable! We sat outside to eat ours! The hardest part was making a decision and just so you know, there are a lot of choices on the menu!

    My second extreme milkshake adventure in Columbus. I have heard they can be very busy and have long wait times. Maybe it was raining that day and it's near Halloween so I luck out and did not have to wait long. It's a small shop but they do have around 4 tables for seating. They have an extensive menu with different ice cream flavors, and salty food too like popcorns and finger snacks. You are not able to choose the toppings for your milkshake but if there's a certain toppings that you do not want (like whipped cream in my case), do tell them. After looking through their different varieties of milkshake, I decided to get the butter beer (Harry Potter fan). It's a limited shake and it was nice that they are able to do it today! It taste like caramel but it's not overly sweet which is a good thing. They added jelly bean to the bottom of the cup so there's sweet surprises when you sip the milkshake. It's then topped with mini donuts, chocolate chip caramel brownie(I think), popcorn, chocolate and more jelly beans. And also, a Harry Potter card and glasses(that's not shown but hidden at the back). So much toppings for $15 and you get to keep the cup too. Their toppings do change depending on the availability. It was a nice experience for me and insta-worthy~ I feel the price is decent compared to the other milkshake place I visit before as they did not use disposable cup and they put a variety of different toppings to try to stack their toppings till mountain-high which makes it look like extreme milkshake. FYI- Do follow them on social media like Facebook as they run promotions every now and then. Also, they charge a fee for credit card use. It's street parking only and do not park at the large bus zone in front of the shop strip as you may get ticket.

    The peanut butter sundae and the cookie dough sundae.

    Today my boyfriend and I went to the shop on a hot summers day. I must say that the cookie dough sundae was better than I expected because it had a variety of textures and flavors... not your usual confection. My boyfriend liked his peanut butter cup sundae. It truly hit the spot. We're definitely coming back to share an extreme shake -- I had food fomo! (Although today 90% of them were sold out anyway). The one downside is that there is limited seating... which is outside... in the sun, so we stood near the door of the record shop next door.

    You can add this place to your own list of desserts places. I totally have loved their huge selection of items to order from, that makes me want to come back and try all of them. It's run by a small family of mother and daughter and they do offer cash discounts. Secondly you can keep the glass in which you get ice-creams or sundaes which is pretty cool!

    Menu item that I ordered Vs What I was served.

    Every now and again, I will order just dessert from a food delivery service. Found this place. Their menu looked so promising. I ordered two mini donut desserts. Specifically chose two that were made with powdered sugar donuts (according to their menu descriptions) because I am not a fan of Cinnamon. Like at all. Well, what we received was not only poor quality but it was not as described. Both were made with Cinnamon donuts as opposed to the described powdered sugar donuts. Aside from the overwhelming Cinnamon taste, the donuts were dry and very sad. Won't be choosing them for my splurge desserts again

    After eating at La Tavola, we decided that we wanted dessert elsewhere. I pulled up Yelp and searched for dessert spots in Columbus, OH. This business was advertised, so I looked through the reviews and pictures. It totally looked like an experience. I showed the hubs and he was totally interested, so we drove about 15 minutes to this spot. Parking is cumbersome. We ended up parking in a neighborhood and were totally scared that the car would be towed. Upon entrance there were only two patrons inside eating so we came at a great time. I ordered the Smores Galore Extreme Sundae and my hubby ordered the Turtle Cheesecake Extreme Sundae. Please be aware that it took the two young ladies working the counter 15 minutes to make our order. So if there is a line, you will be waiting a long time to get your order taken and completed. Once we received our order, I was overwhelmed, but in a good way. I didn't know where to to start. The toasted marshmallow was so good and the cheesecake, brownies, chocolate, and ice cream were scrumptious. It was so much dessert and kind of pricey, but it was worth the experience. Overall we both gave our desserts 5/5 stars. I would definitely recommend this dessert spot for those looking to try something new and delicious, but be sure to go at a time when they are not too busy or else you will be waiting a long time to be served.

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch Sundae

    wow. the menu here is the biggest i've ever seen. it's definitely bigger than what you're imagining right now. it took us quite some time to decide what to get because everything looked willy wonka tasty. the girls there were so patient with us as we narrowed our list. the shop is small, so don't count on seating inside, but it's nestled in a bunch of cute shops so if you can walk and eat, i think that would be more fun anyway. this sundae was so unique and amazing! loved all the layers of texture and flavor. next time we're back im just hoping i can convince my partner to split a waffle or milkshake with me (:

    Cookie Monster Sundae
    Grace B.

    this place deserves a 5 stars!! me and my gf went right when they opened. seemed pretty small and moderate sound but always love to support a family business! a lot of options to choose from. i got a cookie monster extreme sundae and my gf got a regular c&c milkshake. it was a lot of food to take in lol. before we were heading off, the lady at the counter was nice enough to offer me a clean mug to take with me home! if i come back to Columbus soon, i'll definitely stop by here!

    Cookies and cream milkshake

    They make the yummiest treats! 100% recommend trying everything! So many choices, we even got a cotton candy CAKE for my daughter's birthday! The cotton candy milkshake is delicious! Made from a blueberry ice cream that they mix in house! They don't skimp on anything, these are milkshakes made with REAL ice cream!

    Katrina B.

    This place is SO fun! My sister and I shared the s'mores and it was out of this world delicious. Took about 15 minutes to make but it was worth the wait. I've never had anything so decadent in my life. The ice cream hands down was the most interesting yet tasty ice cream I've had in Ohio. I will definitely come back.

    OMG!!! This is a gem located in the middle of this residential area. They have plenty of options…read moreavailable. Their service is good. They helped explain their menu. They are good for sit-down and take out. They also have outdoor seating. It is good for family friendly and business casual. There is a huge parking space right in front of this ice cream place.

    | Johnson's Real Ice Cream - New Albany, OH 160 W Main St,…read moreNew Albany, OH 43054 Visited: Aug 3, 2025 | Takeout -- What we ordered: * Jr. Scoop (Butterscotch Toffee) - Sugar Cone - $4.25 * Single Scoop split 1/2 Butter Pecan + 1/2 Butterscotch Toffee - Sugar Cone - $4.75 We asked for cups on the side -- these were two-handed cones, no question. -- Flavor notes: * Butterscotch Toffee: Buttery, smooth, with soft bits of toffee that didn't overtake the bite * Butter Pecan: Heavier on the pecans than the flavor. The base leaned a little plain -- almost watery in taste -- but it was full of nuts and held texture well. Melt-wise, it held up just long enough to enjoy without rushing -- not that artificial stuff that sits like wax, but not soft-serve-level meltdown either. You've got a comfortable few minutes before it starts sliding. -- Total: $10.98 (with tip) -- Quick info: * Wait time: 5-10 min * Parking: 1-hour signs closest to storefront; rest of the lot is unmarked and free * Seating: benches + brick ledge outside * Noise: chill, steady foot traffic * Accessibility: Yes * Allergy info: clearly posted * Dairy-free: Yes (coconut-based and sorbet) -- Would I come back? Absolutely. The ice cream was good, the scoops were serious, and the side cup wasn't extra -- but it was essential.

    I guess somehow we've never been to this one…read more Odd location, little lot alongside and big one in back, so be alert at busy periods. Inside, not as big as I expected. Some tables, plus a little wall to sit on outside. Friendly patient service. The kids tried several things. I tasted the Skyline, which is really not chili flavored. Pretty much cinnamon ice cream with what seems like pie crust chunks (actually crackers.) Not bad, not weird, not spicy. A bit of a letdown for me; I expected a challenge. Ended up with seasonal lemon meringue pie, which was excellent. Prices aren't bad. I'm sure we will be back.

    I cannot believe I have never reviewed this Graeter's location which is like an Ohio staple…read more My old dentist used to be conveniently located across the street from here so great treat to get after teeth cleaning appointment. Just saying! Although tonight we came back to celebrate my brother's birthday and he loves a good treat. Can't go wrong with Graeters! You have so many flavors here from the classics to the seasonal favorite flavors. I always go with the classic blackberry raspberry chip as you can't go wrong with this flavor. You can almost pair this flavor with anything off the menu. Always a great time at Graeter's as it's not only an Ohio staple but family favorite. You can instantly bring a smile to someone's face just with a scoop of Graeter's ice cream. Just ask my daughter!
