I had tried Graeter’s in pints perched at grocery stores here in NJ, and had always found it a bit too icey and not creamy enough. I preferred brands like Tillamook, which I find much creamier. But on a recent visit to Cincinnati, some friends from the area insisted that I had to try ‘the Original’ Graeters from one of the shops.
I will agree that it was better than the packaged ice cream I had tried before but I’m still not sure it is worth 5 stars. I tried chocolate chip, and while the ice cream was good, I was disappointed with the size of the ‘chips’. They were huge hunks of flaky chocolate. Too big for my liking. One piece took up the entire width of the cup!
In summary, a very good ice cream…but not the best and flavor choice will have a big impact on your assessment.
Game over - the best ice cream I’ve ever had. It is so rich, dense, and creamy. My flavor recs are black raspberry chip, vanilla, and strawberry - but I need to try more too. You can also sample a couple before making a call, and the team is nice about giving the samples out.
Staff was friendly. Prompt service. Ice cream was very good. Creamy, tasty, lots of “chips” (more like hunks) in my cookie dough. No left overs!! Price was about the same as back home. Not great but not bad. Got a reds helmet cup for the fun of it!!
