“The best ice cream place ever!!! They make my chocolate malt exactly how a malt should be. I don’t even have to say extra thick! These shakes are as thick as it gets. I love their slushies and soft serve. They have a great menu for great prices. Unbeatable prices a small shake is just $3!!! Be sure to tip them too.“

“Good stuff, good service. Never a terrible wait......the staff is pretty efficient. I can see why they have been there forever and a day.Parking: Limited number of spaces and not the greatest of neighborhoods. Not sure about handicap parking, even though the shop and lot are handicap accessible.Kid-friendliness: It's an ice cream shop. If that isn't kid friendly I don't know what is.Wheelchair accessibility: It's all at ground level. There isn't a step or even an incline to traverse. So should be handicap friendly. Not sure about handicap parking though.“

“Here is my Favorite Gelato spot in Cincinnati. It has everything; The location which is a few steps from the Findlay Market which I tend to go frequently when planning to make a nice dinner, they have great service, the chill ambiance and of course the delicious gelatos. One of the main reasons I always tend to stop on this one is because they normally have Pistachio flavored gelato which is a big must for my wife and the other besides of my favorite flavor (cookies and cream) well there actual Ice cream cookies which are amazing! So amazing that I couldn't take a picture of it, BUT! if you look at the pic with the different flavors, they are are the bottom right corner. Definitely need to try them. If you haven't tried this place, give it a try, it wont disappoint.“

There were some bees buzzing around - they like ice cream too I suppose. Nice little piece of West Side nostalga.“

“Old style charm in this classic ice cream parlor. Whether you need sweet treats as a gift from the chocolate counter, are looking for a cute spot to end a date night, or want to sit and enjoy ice cream with the family, this spot is where you need to go. Friendly service from behind the old marble counters. Enjoy the ice cream bar to go or "dine in" and treat yourself to a whole sundae. Helpful hint: for when you want a little more of experience than your average Graeter's run... plus you have to decide for yourself who has the better raspberry chocolate chip.“

“Excellent ice cream shop!Growing up going to King's Island, I fell in love with their famous blueberry ice cream. Now, living in Dayton, there are a few places around us that sell it, but we spent the morning in Cincinnati, and on the way home, I was in the mood for ice cream.Our typical spots to go to were closed, so we did a Google search, and this shop popped up. We decided to stop by, and they opened up about 5 mins after we got there. We were kindly greeted by the owner Brian. He asked if we could wait about 5 mins so the machine could get ready. We paid and waited. I used the restroom while we waited. It was clean.We got our ice cream a few minutes later. Light, not heavy, smooth, not clumpy. It was delicious! Pricing was very comparable to other shops. We will definitely return!“

“I’m a frequent customer because Nekter is amazing! They have great bowls and juices. I always feel healthier after eating/drinking their products. Only one confusing point: they have a saying “skip the line and order online.” Well yesterday I ordered ahead online, but when I got there they were busy with in-person orders. I was the very last person served despite having ordered before everyone. I received my order 20 minutes after the original estimated time. I asked the worker and she said they prioritize in person orders. So if they’re busy, I guess it’s faster to order in person? Otherwise great place and great staff.“

Not sure how it can even be all 3. I had apple crumble and I was hoping no one was watching me eat my scoop as I crossed the busy street because I devoured this ice cream. It is that good.
