This is an excellent UDF location. New and clean with a great staff. Beyond getting gas, it is a pleasure to shop/get an ice cream treat here. read more

United Dairy Farmers - I mixed 3 scoops. Caramel sea slat-caramel crunch and chocolate chunk - Grocery Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

See all

I went to the Wards Corner Rd location July 2nd, it was after 10 pm , to get diet coke. There was a young man working, and he saw that I was limping, due to a broken tibia/fibula, two years prior. He walked up to me and offered to carry my 15 cans of soda, I paid for them, and he offered to take them to my car. I want to say, how nice it was to see someone truly concerned and cared enough to go above and beyond. I should have got his name, so for now, I can just let everyone know about this young man's kind gesture, to help someone, that truly appreciated the help. read more

The strawberry milkshakes from here are amazing - the best in Cincinnati! I've tried sooo many places and none can compare to UDF

UDF is my favorite hometown ice cream (yes, I like it even more than Graeter's...) and this is probably my favorite location. It's a stone's throw from the UDF factory, where the magic happens, right in the heart of Norwood. Unlike most other UDFs, this location is a stand-alone convenience store without a gas station. I like that aspect, as the gas stations tend to have a longer line and are a little more grubby. This location was gutted and remodeled last year, so it is clean and well-organized. The staff is so friendly and I think they give bigger portions. (Also- did you know that in a 2-scoop sundae, they will use a milkshake cup and put individual toppings on each scoop?! Life changer.) There is a decent sized parking lot right next to the store. Do note that there are no cafe tables, as there are in some other locations. Plan on taking your ice cream to go. read more

I'm not entirely sure if this is the exact location of the UDF I visited but I figure they all offer the same ice cream which I'm really here to write about. This was my first visit to Cincinnati and my friend who is a native of the area made sure I got the full Cincy experience and visit all the staples of the areas. We just had a ridiculously delicious lunch at Abuelos and stopped for gas. He asked me if I had room for dessert and although I didn't, it was vacay after all and said of course. When I realized he meant here....at the gas station...I was confused and hesitant but he assured me I would love it. Right there at the same counter you pay for gas and get your Marlboro fix was an ice cream bar. Mixing the usual disgust of a gas station with my dessert made me a little uneasy. This was definitely out of my comfort zone but I went with it. They had a decent selection of flavors and I settled on a peanut butter cookie dough (mainly because I never see these two flavors combined and pretty much thought it was heaven), he had a chocolate chip and cherry cordial. I loved it! It was delicious and creamy and I ate my double scoop of it in about 5 minutes. I had a bite of his cherry cordial and it was even better than mine. What made it even better was the price of it! We bought two double scoop ice creams (the second scoop is free during winter months) for under $5 which is pretty much unheard of in Chicago. I should really give them 5 stars but since there isn't any United Dairy Farmers in Chicago--I'm being selfish and giving them 4. I'm hoping with my great review and spreading the word, some wonderful person at UDF will decide to go nationwide on my behalf. Please UDF?! Just one little ol' gas station creamery in Chicago? Preferably within walking distance of my humble abode? I'll give you that other star ;). read more

As far as UDF's go, this one is great! I think the ice cream here is better than any other UDF I've been to. It was completely gutted and rebuilt last summer. The new store is even better than the old one. My favorite UDF ice cream is Red's Grand Slam. It's only available during the MLB season. I stop here a lot during baseball season. There's a small parking lot. This location is only a convenience store, not a gas station. read more

This little UDF (without a gas station) is right next to their ice cream factory and original location, but it usually has some weird things (like experiemental flavors, or back in the day, it was the first place with those chocolate dipped with sprinkles/nuts/butterfinger waffle cones) and just has some sort of nostalgia to me. In high school, my best friend and I would drive here over our "senior lunch" (let's be clear, we lived about 15 minutes away and no one in our high school ever ventured from Kenwood Mall) to get ice cream at this UDF because we found it special. UDF may be my favorite thing about Cincinnati. The ice cream is delicious, made from skim milk so it isn't too heavy or fattening, and comes in the best flavors. Blue moo cookie dough is like a dream, s'mores is amazingly delicious and tastes like a graham cracker, and there are quite a few other great flavors. Their peppermint stick and peach (seasonal) are the best. And come on. where else can you find an ice cream parlor with their own delicious milk and ice cream that is also a gas station / convenience store. Yeah. UDF is amazing. read more

I love my Norwood UDF. This location doesn't have a gas station, but if that's what you're looking for, there are plenty of them up and down the street. This UDF is attached to the headquarters- it is store #1. It really is my #1 UDF, too. All UDFs have the same ice cream, so I'll talk about what really sets this convience store apart from the others around the area. It's the staff. They are so friendly and helpful every time I'm in there. There's one woman who is in there often when I go in to buy sports drinks and powerbars before a morning training walk- or in the afternoon when I go in to buy sports drinks (and Hoist!) after a long evening out the night before. She is always friendly and conversational and very helpful. She offered to ring the ice up for me at the counter instead of having me bring it all the way from the back of the store to the front. It's the little things! read more

This is the happiest and most fun UDF in town. The people working at this location are always upbeat and smiling! Definitely the best service that I've received at a UDF, period. read more

Service here is outstanding... The guys and girls that make your ice cream or check you out are always super friendly and funny!

Great chocolate malts! Go get one they are yummy. This seems like a small location but it works for ice cream just fine. The factory is right across the street so that's cool. People seem ok read more

If I have to pick a star then 1 it is. Went in to the UDF across from the main plant. I asked for 3 malts. 1 chocolate, 1 vanilla and 1 peanut butter. I was told by Sha Kayla that this location is out of peanut butter so I settled for a Sunday. While I waited and waited for the malts said associate had to walk away from making the to accept her food delivery. Finally after paying and walking to the door I made a comment out loud to my daughter about how crazy I thought it was to be out of peanut butter. Overheard by an off duty associate I was informed that they are NOT out and do not let this associate do that to me. I didn't want my kids disappointed so I left and called back. She answers the phone and proceeds to tell me there is no manager there and that if I felt she was wrong to come back and she will squeeze the bottle in my face so I can see. Well... I will NEVER GO BACK TO. THIS UDF! read more

It's fresh and new after the remodel but doesn't have a gas station attached. So, unless you need ice cream or some very expensive convenience store food, it's probably not worth going. It's also pretty cramped and gets crowded during busy times. The parking lot is pretty small, so parking can get tricky when too many cars are coming in or leaving. I prefer the Smith Rd location. read more

This was the first ever UDF, which is now a Cincinnati institution. Right across the street is the HQ and the lady working the counter said that they always have the freshest ice cream here! We each got two scoops and she was right. Ice cream was super fresh and it was buy one get one free 'chip' scoops. WIN! read more

We visited udf in lovefield at 6 in the morning, and more over this is me visiting ohio for the first time, i loved the cleanliness of the store and the person who was working there patiently answered all of our questions and I'm writing this review drinking the shake and this is the best shake i ever had in my life and I'm not exaggerating.... thank you UDF, y'all rock read more

Well their ice cream is amazing. The people they hire - not so much. They are all in slow motion - we call it slow motion ice cream. So the line is always a a mile or so long. Have been there several times and their chocolate shakes are fabulous. I got a turtle sundae last night. Had a microscopic amount of sauce on it. The slow motion guy covered it up with the fakey "whipped topping" and two gross cherries so you could not see that there was no sauce on it. So here are a few tips - don't go if you are in a hurry - takes at least 20-30 minutes to get waited on. If you order a sundae tell them not to put the fakey "whipped topping" on it. That way you can see the total lack of sauces. For a dairy place to use that yucky topping is sort of unreal. Always amazing to me that Chik Fil A can hire amazing people and have amazing service AND an amazing product. If UDF could hire those people the ice cream world would be a beautiful place we could all enjoy. UDF could be the Chik Fil A of the ice cream world. Lovely to think about. read more
