Schneider's is near my friend's place and she brought me here to try her favorite spot! I got generous scoops of German chocolate cake and banana in a cup and both flavors were delicious. The interior is just for ordering, but there are benches and tables outside the shop. The employee who helped us was also exceptionally kind--thank you, Patrick, for such a friendly experience! read more

Lovely shop with plenty of options. I bought white chocolate pretzels along with a box of assorted chocolates. The staff even offered to wrap my box of chocolates! Very sweet place even if it's on the smaller side. read more

Finally got to try Schneider's ice cream! It's really delicious and hits the spot on a hot day. There's a nice outdoor seating area as well as some benches along the sidewalk. Service was good too. While we just got ice cream, we did look at the candies as well, but they are pretty pricey. read more

This place is adorable!!! Mom and pop owned, everything made in house, grandpa (original owner) coming in to make the chocolate himself!! The caramel was delicious, not too sweet, not too rich, just perfect. Was greeted by a lovely gal who helped me decide what to get among all the options. Definitely going back for more! Please give this store a shot read more

Never ever skip their cookies and cream ice cream! It's my favorite and I get it everytime. This is a family owned shop that has been around for a long time. It's a neighborhood favorite and they have a huge variety of sweets. Their seasonal ice balls are back as well. I love the blue raspberry with the ice cream inside! They expanded their outdoor seating a few years ago and now there are plenty of seats to enjoy the weather. read more

It's been a staple of mine for years when I lived here. Then I was back in town for the Taylor Swift concert. Bellevue outdid itself welcoming people from all over. They had three "swiftie" themed ice cream options and my crew got two of the three. Hazy and a lover sundae- both loved them. I settled for the non dairy ice ball pina colada flavor. So darn good. The owners are just the sweetest and customers are always taken care of. My ice ball was the perfect amount of ice and no big chunks. The flavor is so good and not syrup-ey yum!! If you have a sweet tooth go! So many options besides just ice cream. They had candies, nuts, fudge, chocolates among other dessert options! read more

Stopped in here while we were in town for the Taylor Swift concert. Bellevue's businesses completely welcomed the Swifties and fully leaned into having items themed for the weekend. Schneider's had several themed ice cream options. I got the Lavender Haze - which was delicious. A friend got one of the ice balls with coconut. We all loved our treats and I'd definitely stop in again. read more

If you want to find Bellevue/Covington and Cincinnati's best chocolate look no further. Every kind of chocolate delicacy imaginable. I learned today they founded the Opera Cream delight and it's amazing. Picked up some opera creams and buckeyes for friends coming in from out of town. Highly recommend! read more

A very homey, small town ice cream parlor and fudge shop that is a staple amongst the local community. Located within the charming streets of Bellevue, this place boasts great outdoor seating. The service was friendly and the ice cream flavors were very creamy. They were lacking a bit of that flavorful punch that some top ice cream places have but were still very good, nonetheless read more

This place is a landmark in Bellevue. You walk in and the smells are enough to make you so happy and bring back you to childhood. They offer all types of candy ice cream and gift arrangements. It's a great time to visit for the preparation of Easter. It was an end to a perfect day. read more

Must try the snowball !! So yummy you won't be able to stay away long! Will be back soon!

This place is a NKY treasure! It has been a family tradition to go here for years now. My grandparents loved it, my Mom, the wife and I and now my kids! Beat ice balls with ice cream anywhere! read more

I love this place. If you haven't had an ice ball with ice cream, you are missing out. The candy is delicious too.

Old school ice cream and candy shop. Something for everyone. Lovely flavors. The right place for your sweet tooth.

Love this place ! So heard so much about the ice balls that I had to come out and try it. The line was pretty long but worth the wait. Since it was my first I wasn't sure how it worked. The girl at the counter was very helpful and provided suggestions on what the favorites flavors were. I asked her to explain what it was that I was hearing so much about. So basically it is shaved ice, a scoop or two of ice cream topped with more shaved ice then topped with your favorite syrup. i wad able to choose any flavor ice cream... i went with chocolate chip cookie dough and strawberry syrup. sounds like a bad combination but it was actually better than what i expected. The ice cream with the shaved ice was amazing and different at the same time. it was a different texture of goodness, ice and ice cream mixed together. Definitely would go back to try different flavors. read more

Schneider's Sweet Shop has been open since 1939 and still is kicking it with those old school sweet shop vibes. They have homemade everything. Their chocolates and candies, ice cream and ice balls. I hadn't been here before until a few months ago when my Grandma took me because I hadn't had an "Ice Ball" before. She couldn't believe it. I'd lived down here for at least eight years now and I hadn't had an Ice Ball. For those of you who don't know, an Ice Ball is just shaved ice. But in northern Kentucky, people like to get it with vanilla ice cream in the bottom or middle of it. The first time I came here I got the Ice Ball with ice cream. It was good with ice cream but I prefer it just like a regular Ice Ball. No Ice cream. They have so many flavors to get as your flavoring for your Ice Ball, I pretty much always get Rainbow. Because I'm secretly, (Not so secretly) a five year old. The homemade ice cream is good as well. You can get just scoops or even Banana Splits or ice cream sodas. They actually still have a soda fountain and that's cool. The homemade candies are where they lose a star with me. They have good Opera Creams and Fudge, but I hade their Malt Balls and Buckeyes before (Two of my favorite things.) and I didn't like those at all. So it's very hit or miss. This place can be packed at night during the summer. It's super small, has limited indoor seating and has an outside patio to sit on. I always get my food to go but sometimes standing in line with eight families who all have twenty kids who are all screaming in a small store, pushes my patience sometimes. Everyone who works here is always super nice and welcoming. I would say though, out of the few spots in Northern Kentucky to get an ice ball, this is the place to go. read more

I've balls are great during the summer. Specially if you take them to go and sit by the river. Service there is always a 10/10.

Food was good, service was also good for it basically being run by all teenagers. It's a cute little old shop with lots of fun homemade candies to try! read more

You can't go wrong here. I LOVE their dark chocolate covered oreos. Really all their chocolates are delicious. They keep the line moving quickly. The ice cream is good too. I'm not a fan of the very popular ice balls they serve in the summer... they're very sweet. Worth a stop for dessert or if you're gifting chocolates. read more

Ice cream was delicious. Had the chocolate with peanut butter chunks! Highly recommend.

Um Um. Ice ball with vanilla ice cream is the best. So good your eyes roll back in your head. Great place. Great neighborhood. Great service. Love it. read more

Turtles are the best anywhere! The Orange ice-ball with vanilla ice cream is the bomb! When my mom was alive, her favorite candy from Schneider's used to be the Opera creams, an Easter staple. read more

Such a nice little spot to get a sweet treat. I heard about this place online and decided to get my mom some peanut butter fudge from here as part of her Mother's Day gift. She called to let me know it was really good and smooth. They had a whole glass display case of other chocolates and candies available plus ice cream. My sister and I really liked the ice cream. I also snagged some candy cigarettes for my mom as a gag gift. Reasonable prices and open later into the evening, which makes it easier to enjoy. The location seemed perfect on a street with plenty of restaurants and shops. read more

My wife and I were in town on vacation and stumbled across this place and it is an absolute gem. It was so good we went back three times and spent over $150 on chocolate! read more

Schneider's is a community staple. Known for their homemade candies and ice cream, and their seasonal ice balls are very popular too. I'm a huge fan of their chocolates. Chocolate covered nuts and pretzels are on our rotation along with the ice cream of course. And then there are the ice balls. Several flavors for you to mix and match and served with or without ice cream. Try it with the ice cream. read more

Fantastic chocolate shop! Prefab gift packs for the undecided, or create your own by the pound. Too much chocolate to name. Incredible opera cream varieties I didn't even know existed. Definitely my new go to when in the dog house at home. A definite cure all!! read more

This is my first time visiting. And I will say amazing service. The women serving me made me feel at home. Like they were family. And the selections of candy and chocolate is crazy. I ended up with a nectar ice ball with Banana ice cream. I suggest if it's your first time Try it read more

Schneider's Sweet Shop - a hand holding a cup of ice cream - Candy Stores Near Me - Bellevue, Kentucky

This sweet shop is so lovely and special to me, that I just had to post my review all the way from Denver, Colorado. My grandparents are from the Covington-Bellevue area; family legend has it that my grandpa used to buy my grandma sweets from Schneider's. Growing up, the black-and-gold box was always a sign that it was a special occasion in their house in Michigan, where they ultimately settled down and raised their family. When my in-laws visited Covington recently, they visited the shop and sent us some opera creams all the way in Colorado. The box that arrived was (absolutely delicious) assorted chocolates, not opera creams. My mother in law called to correct the ordered and a box of opera creams arrived a few days later with a note from Schneider's staff acknowledging the mix-up. They were exactly as amazing as ever, and transported me back to my grandparents' house! Excellent customer service, highest quality products, and nostalgia to boot. This is a fantastic shop! read more

Yum! An excellent mom&pop shop to get homemade ice cream and candies. I live close and we love riding our bikes to get ice cream from here in the summers. For Christmas I like to get my parents chocolates from Schneider's. Highly recommend. read more

Homemade!!! Opera creams are my wife's favorite and I tried the Chocolate Banana Wafer Sundae. Both were awesome and reasonably priced. read more

The best ice cream! So flavorful, love it! Service is good, friendly and fast. Will be back!

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time and were blown away. We can see why it's so busy and such a hot topic! The moment you open the door, the smell of sweet treats hits you and instantly makes you hungry. He got a single scoop black raspberry chip on a waffle cone and said it was good. I had the ice ball with ice cream and strawberry syrup and was in heaven. This is single handed Lu the best dessert I've ever had. My boyfriend liked mine so much he went back to get a small! The portions are pretty big, a medium filled me up and a small was too much for him after just having the cone. We'll definitely be back for more ice balls this summer!! read more

This place is seriously sweet! Family owned since the 1930's and still going strong! My grandma grew up within walking distance from Schneider's and on the rarest occasions would be able to take a dime around the corner and get herself a treat to enjoy! Over the decades, prices have changed, but the hometown feeling hasn't. Recently, Schneider's added a patio which is a great addition to the experience: sit, relax, and enjoy your ice ball while taking in the ambience and history of Bellevue. I always get a strawberry ice ball with homemade vanilla ice cream - but their other ice cream flavors look so good too! Next time I want to try the peach (here for the summer). I go for the ice cream but always get some candy to take home too. Vanilla caramels are sinfully delicious. read more

Three generations of my family grew up going to Schneider's (my grandma, then my mom, then me). Coming here has always been a treat, and we do it as a family whenever we have something to celebrate since we don't all live nearby anymore. We've never had a bad experience here, everything is just lovely. I'm so glad we have this gem in NKY. read more

Where has this place been all my life? Well, actually Schneider's has been in the same Bellevue location since 1939, I just didn't know about it. For generations, Schneider's has been selling a variety of candies (opera cream, fudge, caramels, cordial cherries, turtles, Kentucky cream candy, and more), homemade ice cream and ice balls, malts, shakes, floats, sundaes, and many more items that are giving me a cavity just thinking about them. I went here to pickup some Mother's Day gifts for my mom, grandmother, and mother-in-law. Selecting three different candies, I was being pretty sneaky because I knew I would get to try all of them. The staff was very helpful, even gift wrapping and marking them with a post-it note so I could identify each one. The variety box of truffles was so unbelievable. These were the freshest truffles I've ever had. Rich and creamy, that melt in your mouth chocolate definitely won me some brownie points. For my mother, I bought chocolate-covered pretzels. The contrast between the sweetness of the milk chocolate and the saltiness of the pretzel was divine. I've never been a huge fan of cordial cherries, but the ones I bought for my grandma were really good. I'll definitely be back to this neighborhood sweet shop. The inside may not have the same charm as Aglamesis, but I think the candy is just as good. read more

This place so cute--a total throwback to another era. They have hard candy in big glass jars (first time I've seen horehound candy outside of a movie/book), homemade chocolates and Kentucky cream candy, and hand-dipped ice cream. The charm was missing a bit from the styrofoam cup my ice cream was served in, but it was a yummy refreshment from the oppressive heat and humidity outside. This is a great stop for dessert if you've just dined at one of the restaurants on Fairfield Ave and would also be a good place to pick up some speciality candy or chocolates for a hostess or other gift. read more

Always pop by this place to grab chocolate covered pecans! Always a hit with family and satisfying my sweet tooth. When I went a couple of nights ago i decided to try a snow ball. Definitely not like snowballs in the south, but satisfied my sugar requirements anyway. Cute local place! read more
