Hello Honey

I had a buddy at work who kept on hounding me to try hello honey. He said, "it's the best ice cream in the Cincinnati. It blows Graeters away." Those are strong words to this lifelong Cincinnatian. I mean is it on Oprah's favorite things list? Has it been in business for 150 yrs? There is no way. I saw they had a store in Pleasant Ridge and decided to give it a try. The truth is Hello Honey is different as soon as you walk in the door. It has a fun edge to it. Cool artwork. Fun music. It's definitely not your grand parent's ice cream parlor. There is a vibe. The service is friendly, kind, and patient. They have to be patient with all the interesting flavor profiles of their ice creams. The ice cream descriptions sounded like they written by a sommelier/ poet. You could tell everything has been taken up a notch here. After several minutes of deciding (and sampling) i had the COOKIES & BISCOFF in a waffle cone, while my GF had the HONEY LAVENDER in a cup. OOOWEEEE! This ice cream was good! The ice was rich, creamy and the flavors were on a different level. I was really impressed. Brandon you were right. This ice cream is really really good.One watch out here is next level ice cream comes with next level pricing. This is date night ice cream. This is celebration ice cream. This is not let's take Timmy and the baseball team to the dairy whip, ice cream. It's expensive, the flavors might be a little too much for timmy, and the edgy music does come with occasional curse word or two. But as long as you are ok with those things you should give hello honey a try. Good-FriendlinessFlavorsTaste VibeCleanBad-Parking Price

went here with my boyfriend a couple months ago and had a great experience! the store was clean and the girl working was very friendly and helpful. I really appreciated how they had dairy free options. I got the cookies and cream dairy free, it was delicious! one suggestion would be to play some music though, it was strangely quiet! I would definitely love to come again and try some more desserts!

A true diamond in the rough. Their flavors were unique and they had a large variety of options! Good enough for 2 scoops, sweet enough for a whole pint, this is the ice cream you take home at night. The ladies working were so sweet and helpful on picking out a flavor. A great place to sit and eat or walk around the cute streets with your to go ice cream.

Cincinnati loves its Graeter's, but this place is the the real ice cream gem of the city. Fresh ingredients and thoughtful flavor profiles without oversweetening. While the cookies and mint is my absolute go to, I'm never disappointed branching out to more creative flavors.They have some roll cakes sold by the slice, and these are ok, but if you go online you can order custom ice cream cakes and these are absolutely incredible. You are doing it wrong if your next birthday doesn't involve one of these.

Great experience at the soft opening! We beat the rush but very quickly the line was out the door and around the cornerI was SO happy to see they had a Dairy Free and Gluten Free option at the PR location as last time I visited Walnut Hills they only had DF Icecream with Gluten in it which I unforutnely could not eat. And I was even more pleasantly surprised when it was actual Dairy Free Icecream and not a Sorbert! The Raspberry Vegan icecream was very flavorful and my partner got the Cookies & Cream icecream and had similar sentiment. I am excited to come back once they are finally open and have added in sound dampening items, and finalized the flow of traffic to make the total experience. Overall a very welcome and exciting add to Pleasant Ridge!

Nice local spot in Pleasant Ridge without the lines of Jeni's with great ice cream. They also have cake rolls (they have a name but I forget). Not your typical flavors but very delicious especially if you have an adventurous palate. Some tables and seating inside and also some chairs outside. Good place to grab ice cream and walk around the Pleasant Ridge shops.

Whoah...... Best ice cream I've ever had!! We sampled quite a few and I was torn between banana honeycomb and peach cobbler ... went with peach cobbler. The crust was so delish! Hubbie loved his apple crumble and daughter's mint Oreo was very good. It was worth every penny!

This place is just way too delicious. Had to check out the new location. The toasted marshmallow is like the cherry on top. Be careful, this will become your new favorite neighborhood ice cream parlor.

I love the different ice cream selections! I've found myself wanting to revisit just to try them all!

The ice cream was good overall! It was creamy and didn't melt too fast. I got the lavender flavor and a chocolate flavor as well. I was glad I got two different flavors because the lavender was a little overpowering after a while. They do have vegan and gluten free flavors which is nice. It's expensive, so I don't think it will be my go-to ice cream place, but I would go back and try it again! There's only street parking, or you can park in the lot across from Cafe Alma.
