The Most Scrumptious Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt in Cincinnati

Pho Lang Thang

★★★★☆ 4.2 (805) • $$

"I'm a Findlay Market fanatic, shopping there weekly for over 25 years now, and Pho Lang Thang has been a favorite from the days they had a cramped space inside the market itself. Nothing like the stylish, spacious digs they have now, with a very well-stocked bar and friendly, attentive staff. I stopped in on a chilly February afternoon and enjoyed a delicious, warming chicken congee and fabulous beef bahn mi with pate and jalapeños. Highly recommended, whether you're shopping at the market or just looking for a terrific southeast Asian meal in the 'nati."

Hello Honey

★★★★★ 4.6 (300) • $

"If you want good ice cream and less than mediocre service, this is a good place. Visiting from out of town, we had some time before our show at the theater started, so we decided to get the family some ice cream! We walked in and the concrete floors were very sticky. It's an ice cream place. Things happen. There was no one in the store, so we were pretty excited to get our ice cream quick! We were greeted by the young person at the counter, and then another young person came from the back. As soon as we started our order, the first young person said to the other "ok you got this..." and just left. Went to the back. The second young person was so shocked, she left too, and then went to the back! We stood for another three or four minutes waiting and the second person finally reappeared. Our order was taken, and the young person that took our order disappeared to the back again! The ice cream is up front. Still not sure why they both kept going to the back. We finally received our ice cream, but I had to remind them what the last order was because they had forgotten even though they wrote down the order. The ice cream was good. It wasn't soft serve, but it wasn't frozen solid. The peanut butter crunch had a mild peanut butter flavor, the mint chip tasted just like Girl Scout cookies, and the blueberry cheesecake was great. The service wasn't great. Since we are out of towners, we will probably never be back."

Midwest Best Bbq & Creamery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (324) • $$

"Stopped here for some good food before heading to the Loveland castle. Liked the sliders but LOVED the wings!I got the MB combo (pic is missing one wing... apparently the phone did not eat first this time) with mac n cheese instead of fries. Mac n cheese was just okay. The wings were the star of the show here.Between myself & husband we tried the following wing flavors: G-Funk, Grippos, Cajun ranch, and Honey chili lime. My favorite was the honey chili lime while my husband liked the G-funk.This place is fast casual. You will order at the counter and they will drop the food off at your table. Overall: I liked the vibe, the easy parking, and the wings."

Milk Jar Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (239) • $$

"I'm seriously addicted to the Milk Jar Cafe. My favorite is Ceylon with Milk. I love that you can adjust things like sweetness, ice level, and of course add ons like boba.I do prefer the one in Anderson because of the store atmosphere, but the people who work at both are equally lovely and kind."

Dairy Kastle

★★★★★ 4.6 (194) • $

"This fun, cash only frozen treat experience only runs a few months out of the year. If you are in Louisville and craving a Dole Whip then this is your spot. The team consists typically of a few high schoolers serving up sweet treats. The location is small and popular so come prepared to stand in line for a while there will be plenty of fur babies available to enjoy while you wait."

Mrs Curl Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4.4 (191) • $

"Great place to grab a quick snack. Out door seating. Got mine to go!! Extremely pleased. CUSTOMER SERVICE ! Communicated non verbally my biz was valued. Got a 2 Chicago Dogs, Walking Taco, good flavor. and Pulled Pork, excellent"

Pendleton Parlor: Ice Cream & Cookie Dough

★★★★☆ 4.4 (165) • $

"California Dave here.... I cannot wait to enjoy this fantastic, impeccable, family-owned legacy Ice Cream Parlor !Nick and his loving, polite staff are exactly why this business is in it's 4th generation making everyone in Cincinnati smile with joyI'm coming back to Cinci next month to visit family, after over 20 years...Wow, how time flies.Hoping my old friend and I can enjoy a sundae and reminisce about the olden days"

The Cone

★★★★★ 4.5 (157) • $

"I knew I was in for a treat the parking lot was packed with cars with plenty of available parking and plenty of patio seating. The menu was extensive listings for a sweet treat for anyone. I liked the convenience of a drive thru which I was not expecting. I enjoyed an Oreo malt. The service was quick as people stood outside to take your order at the drive thru. The menu was also accessible in the drive thru"

Jubie's Creamery

★★★★★ 4.7 (99) • $$

"Was greated by the crew when walked in. Was able to taste a few of the ice cream choices which helped me decide what I wanted. The music was upbeat and probably just a tad too loud but everyone else was outside eating and we decided to stay inside.. Will be back for sure.. Brady did a good job suggesting items and was able to answer the questions we had.."

Whipty-Do

★★★★★ 4.5 (107) • $

"Another awesome local ice cream shop to support! The staff was friendly and handing out orders SO fast. I did feel like a bit of an outsider trying to understand the menu. I was overwhelmed with it being spread across multiple boards and signs, and it includes references to a secret menu. So I went really straight forward for my first time -- a cone with blue cream, topped with fruity pebbles. It was DELICIOUS. Every bit as good as any blue ice cream cone I've had. A couple things do set it apart: Whipty-Do accepts credit cards, has a drive through and also offers a nice seating area with umbrellas for a bit of shade.I'll be back!"

Dairy Del

★★★★☆ 4.2 (105) • $

"We are new to this location. We came 15 minutes before closing. We were met at the drive thru by a very polite young man that took our orders. He named off all the Sunday flavors for my husband. He got the butterscotch. After seeing a photo on another review of cookie Sunday I had to have that. The cookies Sunday came with 2 soft warm cookies fudge topping and whipped cream. It did not disappoint. My husband enjoyed his butterscotch Sunday. We will come again"

Golden Gelato

★★★★★ 4.9 (77) • $$

"Easily some of the best gelato I've had -- fresh ingredients, rotating flavors, and perfect texture. The store may look humble on the outside, but this place is the real deal. Simple setup when you walk in with the fridge straight ahead.We were greeted warmly by the staff and they gave explanations for many of the flavors that were available. They genuinely seemed excited to share what they had to offer with us.We ordered the Fiore di latte, dark chocolate, berry cheesecake. Every flavor was a banger. Deep, rich, and creamy with strong flavor. You honestly probably couldn't go wrong with any of their flavors.Will definitely be back when we are craving gelato! Looking forward to the summer already."

Old Milford Parlor : Ice Cream & Cookie Dough

★★★★☆ 4.1 (96) • $

"Amazing place! Staffers are normally exceptionally kind. The inside is amazing and the food is so good! The idea of a cookie dough scoop alone is amazing! They have fun things inside as well. For example, there's a gumball machine with a chance go get free ice cream. There's also fast times, and so many options!"

The Village Parlor

★★★★☆ 3.9 (103) • $

"Iconic old style diner. Super nice employees. Cute interior. Hasn't changed in 30+ years. I say that because I am so disappointed in places that change from good to bad after time or management changes. Lebanon Village Parlor does not disappoint each time we go. This time for lunch we ordered the two chili dog meal and the egg salad sandwich. The egg salad spent too much time in the food processor and had mashed potatoes consistency. See photo. Tasted bland too. Dogs were nothing special. But I still love this place for the nostalgia."

Chillburger

★★★★☆ 3.9 (98) • $$

"Food amazing staff friendly nice outside seating . Wanting lunch I happened to be in area with so many choices I began to debate. I wanted a salad but where? Olive garden and their all you can eat mediocre salad or maybe a burger? I picked the later. I ended up at a place with the best burgers in town. But then the debate started again they had cobb salads. I am not disappointed. It's perfect. Try out this place if you haven't already."

Milk Jar Café

★★★★★ 4.5 (69)

"My family and I have loved Milk Jar for the past couple years. Their quality and service has always been amazing! However, we were always really excited to get their amazing poke & are now very disappointed that they have discontinued the "meal" portion of their establishment. To the milk jar owners, PLEASE open up a poke place in West Chester we would love to support it!!"

Simply Rolled Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 3.6 (98) • $$

"Walked by many times when it was closed but thought I would like this. Finally found it open and in I went. You can build your own creation, or pick from a featured one. I chose Smores, and was so glad I did. They mix the ingredients - in my case graham crackers, chocolate, marshmello cream and vanilla ice cream - place it on a frozen service, and after mixing spread it ultra thin and roll up. Service was good, even though everyone is made to order while you wait. Cost was $7.75 and I think that's very reasonable for the product.Such a treat during this hot wave we're in. Can't wait to go back and try another!"

Chillburger

★★★★☆ 4 (70) • $$

"This Chillburger location is new and a great value for the price point. This is a chain but the concept is well thought out and the execution is on point. The burger was hot and fresh with a delightful potato bun. My wait for food wasn't super long considering everything is cooked to order. I really liked the "Chill Sauce" on the burger. They weren't super busy while I was there but I can see this spot being slammed at times because of it's location. The location is so new that everything is clean and pristine! I got the fresh cut fries but the onion rings looked good too. The fries are shoe string -- which aren't my favorite but they were good. Unfortunately, I felt like the order I got had been sitting around for a while. I'm spoiled by hot fries! They also had several ice cream dessert options that looked tasty. Peanut butter shake? Next time, dangit!"

Silver Grove Dari-Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (63) • $

"We've made it an annual end of summer feast to make the drive to Dari Bar the week before they close (Labor Day) every year. This year was no exception, though it did look a bit different thanks to COVID-19. Instead of the walk up window, they've instituted a drive-thru. You order with the staff under a tent as you pull into the parking lot, then you park your car and they bring you your order. The staff were all super friendly and we felt incredibly safe. They all wore masks & gloves and the food was delivered in trays for no contact. Everything we've ever tried on the menu has been amazing, but I highly recommend some of their unique items, like the marshmallow milkshake and the jalapeño munchers, which were sadly sold out on our most recent visit."

Kelly Q’s & Whipper’s Dairy

★★★★★ 4.5 (54)

"A wonderful staple in the community for good food, friendly and pleasant atmosphere and most of all great service."

Paradise M.x

★★★★☆ 4.4 (54) • $

"Was trying to find a spot for me to take my lunch and ran across this gem. Found a spot to park and walked. Omg!!! From the moment I stepped foot onto the patio area, I was in awe of how nice it looks. It instantly put me in the mind of somewhere warm like Arizona. From the greenery adorning the fence to the green turf to the lights to the outdoor patio sets, it's very soothing and relaxing. I couldn't wait to get back outside to sit and bask in the aesthetics of this ice cream shop. Now let's make our way inside. I don't know where to begin. All I'm going to says is, you must see and experience for yourself!!! Whoever designed the layout knows what they are doing. I could hardly make my way to the counter for trying to see all the cute pieces of furniture, neon light signs, greenery, etc. So I made my way to the counter and was overcome by the selections of ice cream. How do you choose just one or two? I walked both counters and seen they had Horchata. I asked to sample and it was just how I imagined. I struggled with just the ice cream or if I wanted a shake. The young lady at the counter was very helpful with me trying to decide. I opted for an Horchata with strawberries. I will definitely be back! I had no idea they had been open for about a year or so and honestly, didn't know they existed. This is the perfect spot for the family after dinner or before. Also, a cute spot for date day/night. Overall, it's good for whatever you want it to be. You can never go wrong with ice cream!!!"

Ellas Frozen Yogurt & Candy Shop

★★★★★ 4.5 (48) • $

"It was very cute inside the place. They had a lot of option for Frozen Yogurt and toppings. The staff were super friendly and informative. They also have a party room where my husband and I are thinking of having our daughter's 2nd birthday."

Gold Spoon Creamery

★★★★★ 4.7 (43) • $$

"Thank you for the delicious vegan ice cream flavors! I chose a cone with the coconut milk-based Cookies & Cream. It had nice big chunks of Oreo as well as a slightly more prominent coconut flavor than usual, which was a good thing to me! Service was quick and ready to help. They do sell vegan pints, which is awesome (but priced too high in my book, at almost double the price of a pint of Graeter's). They have dairy free ice cream and gluten free ice cream options, too."

Yagööt

★★★★☆ 3.8 (59) • $$

"Yagoot is my passion. I used to live in the Cincinnati area and truly took those delicious sweet-tart cups of frozen yogurt deliciousness for granted. Now that I don't have a Yagoot near me, I'm lost. Yagoot's frozen yogurt is particularly tart. If you don't like tangy tartness, you should still try it, but I would recommend getting a fruity flavor instead of original and adding fruit and other toppings. Because I am obsessed and love sour things, my order is simple -- a large cup of original with nothing on it. My best friend, who lives in Cincinnati, used to not be a fan because of how tart the yogurt is, but she's a convert now, much to my joy. Go to Yagoot right now, grab some froyo, and let the love story begin."

Pepe's Mexican Flavors

★★★★☆ 4.1 (50)

"I visited Pepe's as I was visiting family out of town and the taco truck near their house was not open. I ordered a carne asada torta. The torta was really good. The quality of the cheese was solid. I also ordered tacos and a tamale for the wife which she enjoyed. A solid lunch choice."

Cow Palace

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (70) • $

"The shakes and ice cream are worth a visit. The food is just mediocre. Burgers are plain, no seasoning, no condiments, not very big either. I will say they had one server and she was handing the whole place. She was doing a great job."

Airline Dairy Creme

★★★★☆ 4.4 (41) • $

"Thursday September 24, 2020Good family fun. Called from car port #6 for two cones with chocolate and the other vanilla. The order came within 1 minute of ordering. Handed the host cash plus tip and was on then were on our way enjoying our cones yum."

Mt. Healthy Dairy Bar

★★★★★ 4.6 (37) • $

"The best thing I could have asked for on a hot summer day! My sister got the pretzel with cheese that had a little kick to it and the blue raspberry burst and kept raving about how creamy the ice cream was. The medium cone was HUGE. I got the burger which was juicy and delicious and the upside down banana split. Highly recommend!"

Zip Dip

★★★★☆ 4.3 (42) • $

"It's easy to pass by this tiny West Side establishment, but its pastel colors and neon border will grab your eye. Soon enough, you'll be pulling a U-turn into their parking lot.Zip Dip dishes out over 50 different kinds of soft serve, from your traditional flavors to the more eccentric. If you know me, I always opt for the eccentric. At Zip Dip, this would be the crème brûlée soft serve. Then I got really adventurous and went with a crème brûlée milkshake. It was incredible! I highly recommend giving it a try, if you're bored with the classic flavors.I can also recommend the regular chocolate shake, which is just the right combination of cream and liquidy to be a thirst quencher.Zip Dip's "small" shake starts at 16 oz., which is more than enough milkshake for me. Wearing your elastic pants? They serve milkshakes in 44oz cups. That's almost three pounds of beverage!Zip Dip has been a West Side legacy since 1950. Stop by and become part of its history today!Price per person: $3.00"

K & W Drive In

★★★★☆ 4.1 (46) • $

"So excited to have my first soft serve ice cream in five years!! All because someone decided to offer GF cake cones. So happy. Thank you!!!They also offer a wide variety of great food and treats! Though I didn't see nachos on the menu and I think that's a necessity!"

Ritter's Frozen Custard - Beavercreek

★★★★☆ 4 (48) • $

"Tried this recently while at a conference in Dayton. The desserts were prepared quickly, the space was clean and pleasant, and the staff was friendly. I found the concrete (peanut butter & heath) a little on the sickly sweet side. Also, I ordered a small/mini and it was quite large. My friend had a sundae and it looked good. She very much enjoyed it, and the portion was more reasonable. I would consider another visit next time I'm in the area."

Rhino's Frozen Yogurt & Soft Serve

★★★★☆ 4.3 (41) • $

"One of the best places in Cincinnati for frozen yogurt , I have memories of going to TCBYogurt with my mom back in Maryland as a child and my favorite was always the vanilla chocolate swirl frozen yogurt from there , I've tried many places over the years and to much my delight came across Rhinos (they are available to be delivered on doordash fyi) and they really brought back that nostalgia for me with their pint of zebra (vanilla and chocolate) it's my go to for yogurt and reminiscent of my childhood I've yet to find a better yogurt place in this area ! Top tier !"

Super Scoops Ice Cream

★★★★★ 4.7 (34)

"This place in Cross Pointe offers some enjoyable ice cream treats. The location on the end of the plaza made it easy to find. The facility is simple with three or four tables. The service was friendly and polite when we visited. We shared a two-scoop dish with cinnamon and dark chocolate. The ice cream had a great taste and texture. They are a bit expensive but it was worth it. We'll look forward to our next chance to visit."

Eishaus

★★★★☆ 4.3 (40)

"How is this place not packed for weekend brunch???The goetta & egg tots are delicious! The breakfast flatbreads, also yummy AF!And the Bloody Mary's are perfect - simple and tasty. Cannot recommend this hidden gem enough."

Ison's Family Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.2 (39) • $

"I wish I had gotten pics when we had food! We stayed in the area for almost 3 weeks and we had Ison's 3 times.No, we don't normally eat like that AT ALL.In fact, until we had Isons- no joking or exaggerating- I described myself as someone who did not like pizza.In fact, the first day we got pizza from them I had made myself other food but it smelled so incredibly good I thought "well, I'm going to have to take a bite to remind myself I hate pizza".I was so wrong.I absolutely loved it.I couldn't get enough of it.We spent twice on a meal at Ison's what we normally spend for pizza but I think I was ordering more than we normally ate. I think a normal sized order would've been about 25% more than the usual.My goodness it was delicious.It never tasted like frozen cardboard like I associate with most pizza joints. Best of all: I didn't feel sick after eating it. They never left out any sauces. Our order was always correct, cooked perfectly, and ready promptly. I can't say enough good things. It was really fantastic.My entire reason for wanting to re-visit Batesville is to go to Ison's. We were in town to visit friends."
