We walked here from the river about 10minutes. It was soo worth it. Homemade Icecream. WeHad several flavors all delicious and the Crispy apple bread pudding was more of apple pie but with a flaky crispy croissant, but its highly recommend if available. Over All Great service, Great Desserts. In Cincinnati, Stop here!
First time here, decent ice cream. Coconut sorbet was not that creamy. The pistachio tasted like almond liquor. Many ice cream shops substitute almonds for pistachio to save money. Ice cream decent for avg customer however I expect higher quality for the price per scoop. I will return and replace review if owner improves quality
Great ice cream! I had the banana and honeycomb its amazing!! There are so many flavors I want to try and definitely will be back to try more and take some home.
Hello Honey has such unique flavors that you can’t get anywhere else! I love their ice creams and the owners are super friendly! Every time I come I always feel very happy being there and it’s never a bad experience! The waffle cones taste so good and are always made fresh along with the torched marshmallows which are such a good pairing! I love coming here and can’t wait to go again!I would recommend this place if you are an ice cream lover or if you just love the vibe of this small ice cream place!
Honestly, this place is really, really good. Brown butter caramel is outstanding. Blueberry cheesecake extremely good as well. Their small batch ice cream is wonderful. Its hard to stand out in Cincinnati where weve got some really good ice cream, but Hello Honey does! Stop in soon and often!
I really liked hello honey when I had it the first few times however the last few visits have not been so great. They are usually out of all the pastries. The ice cream cones are just not the same as it used to be and I feel like that’s what made hello honey unique and I miss that.
I really like that they offer unique flavors and staff was very friendly. We all enjoyed our ice cream however we believe the homemade waffle cones are on the smaller side compared to other shops that make them as well. We also felt the waffle cones had an unusual flavor we couldnt identify but just met our expectations rather than exceeding in regards to flavor. We would come back but skip the waffle cone. The cost is a bit on the higher side for portion size again comparing to other homemade ice cream shops.
I came in right around closing time and the guy that helped me was in a way better mood than I would be, given the situation. It’s a nice little shop with a couple tables and a counter by the ice cream bar. I got a single scoop of the Honey Lavender in a cake cone. It was nice and delicate with a really subtle sweetness. The floral notes were well complimented by the honey. It’s definitely a hole in the wall being in the downtown area that everyone should try. The flavors are exploratory and the one I had seemed well thought as far as the flavor ratios were going. I wish they had better cones, but otherwise, the prices were about on par with the standard high end, independent creameries. Give it a try for sure!
Wow. This place was awesome. You could smell the homemade waffle cones right when you walk it. Lots of fun flavors to choose from (Banana Honey Comb, PB Midnight Snack, Blueberry cheesecake, Pistachio, Thai Iced Tea etc). Take some time to look at them all. Definitely get a toasted marshmallow on top if you can! Highly recommended giving this homemade ice cream shop a try!
The service was amazing and the milkshakes we ordered were delicious. We wanted to try all of the flavors. Look forward to visiting again.
If you are ever in the Cincinnati area this spot it’s a must try! Their ice cream flavors are unique, delicious and the place it’s a charm! The employees treat you with courtesy, I happen to visit twice two consecutive weekends. Amazing stop for a ice cream treat!
My favorite ice cream place. The fresh made cones make all the difference. Love the brown butter caramel flavor!
Delicious, fresh-made cones and rich, decadent ice cream! The combination is superb!
I placed an order on line for a friend. She ended up getting really sick. She was in no mood for company. She was not able to get from bed. I contacted Hello Honey to change flavors to something I would like. It was last minute but they were beyond pleasant and accomodating. I got the Lemon Meringue and Blueberry Cheesecake. I have to say it, the Blueberry Cheesecake was probably the best ice cream Ive ever had! Period. Now dont get me wrong, the lemon was very good. But man the Blueberry was phenomenal.
I don’t usually write reviews, but this place is beyond amazing. Every time we go to Cincinnati we make it a point to stop there. I always get the Honey Lavender, which is an acquired taste but has become my favorite ice cream in the world and I’m so sad I can’t get it anywhere else (I have tried a few other places but none compare to Hello Honey). My boyfriend usually gets the Cookies and Pie, but that was recently updated to Cookies and Biscoff. He got it this past weekend and said it was phenomenal and he wants it again, I tried it and agree. You really can’t go wrong here. I’m pretty sure they are all flavors made in house, I think the owner is usually working the front though I can’t be sure (it’s usually the same guy though and he is always polite as can be). We have gotten their ice cream and warm cookie and it was amazing as well and their homemade waffle cones are made when you order, which is refreshing and I haven’t had anything like it. Thank you Hello Honey, because you make every trip back to Cincinnati a dream.
Tried this sweet treat spot for the first time during a weekend trip to Cincinnati and was so happy I did! I had the espresso chocolate chip ice cream in a waffle bowl! Both the ice cream and waffle bowl were homemade and tasted amazing! The service was exceptional and made for a very positive experience! I wish I had one closer to home but will definitely be coming back :)
This ice cream was really good! The flavors are creative and unique and the ice cream is creamy and the flavors burst. I enjoyed the brownie and cream which had giant brownie pieces in it. I also had the chance to try their blackberry earl grey ice cream, which was great as well. I ordered mine in a cone, which they made right on the spot and it came out warm, which was amazing. I will definitely be returning here and I would encourage anybody to give this place a try as well.
My daughter & I were in Cincy on a birthday shopping trip. We wanted dessert (whats a birthday without sweet stuff?) But neither of us wanted leftover cake. We both love good, hand crafted ice cream, so when my daughter found this place on Maps it sounded perfect.It was. Very small, cozy place with a few tables. This is small batch hand crafted ice cream, so youre not going to find the dozens of flavors youll find at the local megamart, but with quality like this who cares? Gentleman working at the counter was personable & helpful. And patient answering questions, we had a hard time making up our minds! I got layered cheesecake, plain on bottom & blueberry on top. It was amazing. Also a scoop of Dutch chocolate ice cream with an espresso. You pour the espresso over the top. Id never tried that before & it was quite good! She got a cold layered dessert that was topped with banana pudding, definitely better than Mom made. She also liked the hot chocolate topped with a toasted marshmallow.When Im in Cincinnati again Ill be back. There were lots of other delicious looking options to try next time!
We were stuck in the hospital and decided to go out for ice cream. We chose this place because the flavors sounded interesting. It didnt disappoint! If you enjoy ice cream but are bored of the same cookies and cream try this place. Its delicious.
I’m giving this place two stars, because I love ice cream. This place is No.... UDF or Graters ice cream, it was below average ice cream in my opinion. The place was clean, decorated cute and staff was friendly, but I would rather go to a different ice cream shop. The downside of this place is you can only choose from flavors of the day and had to pay $10 for parking. :(
I had the affogado and my husband had the whisky pistachio and the honey lavender. The affogado came out with the espresso and ice cream separate so I could control the pour, which was a nice touch. The ice cream was tasty, service was quick, and the location was cute and clean!
So good!! very well may be the best ice cream i’ve ever ate!!! i got bannana honey comb
If there was one of these next to every Graeters, Graeters would be out of business in a week. I don’t think Hello Honey is capable of making a bad flavor. Everything is delicious.
We make it a weekend tradition to come here for icecream on our walks. With all the good icecream options in Cincinnati Hello Honey STILL shines way brighter than any of the others. Easily our favorite icecream in the city!!! 5 stars is not nearly enough. All home made (including the cones) and absolutely wonderful
Seriously the BEST ice cream ever and the toasted marshmallow was to die for! Great place and very kind workers too! Do yourself a favor and go here!
Best ice cream and sorbet I have tasted in Cincinnati. Thank you to use fresh ingredients ! I’ll be back.Arnaud
Personally like the mocha ice cream I got, but my friend got a honey lavender ice cream that only tasted like honey
This small ice cream shop has more than a dozen flavors of chunky ice cream (solid bits to compliment the flavor of the ice cream), some ice cream based items (floats, sundaes, etc), and options in other categories (cheesecake, cookies). I tried a couple of flavors that were both good, and got a nice sized scoop of lemon meringue pie for $3.75. I enjoyed it and will be going back to try the other options.
Well, I tried to visit this place last Friday, but I stood by the counter for about 10 minutes and no one served me. I left and don’t plan to return.
The ice cream is delicious! I would love to come back more but the cashier made me nervous. He wore one glove and wiped it off after each customer with a napkin instead of washing or changing gloves. I ordered a fresh cone and he handled it with his bare, unwashed, hand. I had been here before and the another cashier had put gloves on before getting my cone and handled it with a napkin. This other cashier, the one with single glove, handed me my ice cream cone in his bare hand, took my credit card with that hand, and didnt wash his hands. My friend was next in line, also ordered a cone, and he grabbed the cone again, bare hand. I thought that was very gross and made me not wanna order again. I was concerned for my cone and my friends cone because he touched the cone right after handling my credit card.
I had the waffle cone with peanut butter midnight snack. It was some of the best Ice cream Ive ever had. The waffle cone was made fresh upon order and stayed warm till the very last piece. Whats better than the ice cream? The service, thats what! They remained open late till we order! Id like to live here.
My new favorite ice cream place in Cincinnati. Like I seriously cannot go back to eating regular waffle cones after having the handmade cones here. They’re crisp, freshly baked, and delicious. The whole place smells like them when you walk in. And the ice cream has the perfect amount of fillings. I had the blueberry cheesecake, and the cheesecake bites were huge! They have so many options that I can’t wait to try: cheesecake, peanut butter filled cookies, root beer floats, lava cake. All of it is handmade, and you can honestly taste the difference. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Amazing!!! I saw some wonderful looking photos online and turns out the taste is just as great as the pix!! I was served by a super nice and helpful guy. He helped go thru a few menu options and let me sample a flavor which I loved. I did the fudge chocolate chip and it was soooo good. It had chunks of brownie in it! Amazing! I got the roasted marshmallow on top which was homemade and also delicious!! I would highly recommend Hello Honey!
If you’re looking for a sweet treat, don’t look here.Ice cream is ordinary. The honey pecan was actually made with walnuts. The ridge brownie, only available on weekends is nothing more than brownie batter poured into a microwaveable bowl and heated until the top is solid and the inside is hot liquid. Topped with ordinary ice cream, it sells for $8. Stay home and have ice cream there.
This is an amazing place to go for desert. Great truly fresh baked treats and delicious ice cream. I LOVED the “Almost Famous Chocolate Soufflé.” ❤️❤️❤️
The best staff and ice cream ever
First time trying this place out and overall it was very good. Freshly made waffle cone/cup is a must. I tried the cookies & pie which was very tasty. The brownie & cream didnt have a whole lot of flavor. I topped my double scoop with a torched marshmallow, it was so good 🤤
Exceptional ice cream. I cannot say enough good things about Hello Honey This is absolutely my favorite ice cream in Cincinnati. All of ingredients are fresh. They make fresh waffle cones for every order and the toasted marshmallow is a must.
Awesome local place with innovative flavors. Its always a treat to go to this place.
The owners are awesome and everything on the menu is always on point!!!
We loved it. They have a variety yummy flavors. We were originally going to Greaters but then we saw Hello Honey and my husband said, hmmm whats this place and we looked at each other and said lets try it. We did and loved it. If I was not watching my carbs I would be visiting Hello Honey often!
Hello Honey is by far the best ice cream place I have ever been too. I got the burnt butter toffee ice cream in a Smores sundae. It was incredible. The ice cream was smooth and rich. They roast a marshmellow for the top of your sweet sundae. If you are even considering going to Hello Honey definently go!!
My favorite ice cream spot ever! Everything is Homemade. Yum!
The best ice cream I’ve ever had and the owners are incredibly kind. 10/5.
The absolute best cafe and eating establishment I’ve ever visited. I’ve been to countless. The style of the place is so sweet, cute, so adorable, beautiful. The ice cream tastes better than any I’ve ever had and the texture of the butterscotch cake flavor is outstanding, really amazing.
Home made waffle cones, homemade ice cream, homemade marshmallows... yum!
Really good and unique ice cream! The waffle cones are the best Ive had... You can also get your ice cream in a combination of different ways like with a brownie sundae or over a skillet cookie! Definitely recommend!
Quality ice cream, unique flavors, personable service. Well done
Jumping and holy cows! This gem is the absolute bomb! Hand made waffle cones with super chill ice cream? Dude! Get you one and sit outside and watch the people go by! Fall into ice cream coma...momma-son will set you up. O HELLO!
They have a Thai coconut milk vegan ice cream, along with a couple sorbet options. I found it delightful and light and tangy. No vegan cones as of yet, so there is a bit more waste with using a cup and spoon. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Talked to me about their baked goods and that they do sometimes have vegan baked goods as well.
Love the name of this place, how sweet is it? It’s my first time to stopping by today, and I love it!Homemade Ice cream is so sweet & yummy. Both husband & wife are so nice, and delightful. I enjoyed delicious & creamy of Ice Cream, I definitely will go back to try different favor for sure!
This place has the most incredible and unique ice cream I have ever eaten. The waffle cones are all made in house, and my flavor of choice (banana honey comb) was a treat with each bite. I can’t recommend it enough. Taste if for yourself!
Their ice cream is amazing! Very unique flavors that are a refreshing experience compared to what were used to here in Cincinnati such as graeters and udf. Please please go try them!
Support your local small business! In addition to regular ice cream they have coconut based vegan options. One of a kind flavor options and better taste than the big name Cincinnati ice cream shops. The homemade macaroons are delicious as well!
Great ice cream! Reminded me of Jeni’s ice cream, but love supporting a small business. Loved the sweet corn flavor with a toasted marshmallow on top.
Best ice cream I ever had! Highly recommend! The little cheese cakes are also very good.
Delicious small batch ice cream. Love the Brown Butter Carmel!
Great place! We were in from out of town and called them to see if we could make it before closing and the gal there (forgot her name) waited a few minutes past closing to lock up so we could get ice cream to go. Great dairy free options available too!
Vegan ice cream! It was different in a good way! Honestly who wants the same food they can buy at the store anyhow. Small batch and it shows. Just delightful🤤 Even open on a sat evening. Right on Vine street. Happy to have a new spot to look forward to whilst walking around downtown
Great ice cream and a unique experience! The waffle cones are hand made on site. All the ice cream is such a unique flavor. I got blackberry Earl Grey. A coworker got something with charcoal. All were phenomenal. Oh, and dont forget the toasted marshmallow on top!
This place gives me the warm fuzziest every time I enter. I want their warm, homemade cone and ice cream air to be piped into my apartment. I almost dont need to eat ice cream when I go because I can taste the air and its so good. If I was able, I would go get a different item from Hello Honey once a week.
Fantastic! Honeycomb Banana with toasted Marshmallow was amazing. I will be back often. Update: we have been back several times and it is seriously the best dessert spit in the city. The people who work there are the coolest, most friendly people in the city. The ice cream flavors are all good and a large selection. One of the best places in the city or anywhere honestly.
My wife and I happened upon this amazing little gem and have a new favorite place for sweets. The ice cream is crazy good, the fresh made desserts on the weekends are your new favorite things and the hot chocolate...forget about it. ALWAYS get a homemade toasted marshmallow.
Hello Honey is the best ice cream in Cincinnati, hands down! Others are good, but overrated. Hello Honey is amazing! The make their waffles cones to order so they are flaky and warm. The ice cream is handcrafted and unique in flavor. My favorite is the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie. I send all of my friends here; you should go as well.
Amazing! Homemade ice cream, home made waffle cones! Cant get any better!!! Friendly owners and amazing flavors such as honey lavender, banana honey comb, or classics like hazelnut, or peanut butter!
I looooove this ice cream parlor so smooth an rich an original
Delicious ice cream and beautiful shop. Friendly staff. Homey atmosphere. Played good music. Next time Im in Cincinnati again its the first place Ill go.
The guy was really nice, the homemade cones and cups are delicious. The ice cream is the bomb. Brown butter caramel is tops. If your downtown strolling go in its worth the treat. And has vegan sorbet as well.
The ice cream is delicious and very unique options. I only gave 4 stars because the shop has a weird smell to it when you come in.
Wonderful local ice cream shop. Best waffle cone I have ever had. Would definitely go again.
As someone who worked a an ice cream shop for years I feel like I’ve developed a good sense of what good ice cream is both flavor wise and texture/consistency and this place has some of the finest ice cream I’ve ever had. All of their flavors work and topping are made with as much care as the ice cream. They have deserts that are more than just ice cream and on top of all that the staff is just wonderful.
WOW. Went here for the firs time today during quarantine. The guy was super friendly and got our ice cream fast. Paid online and had contactless pick up. But MY GOODNESS, the Cookies and Pie ice cream flavor is my new all time favorite ice cream PERIOD. It was wonderful and we will be returning next saturday.
AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS and a great place. Had the lavender honey... it was heavenly. The fresh waffle cone was a perfect addition to the creamy goodness. Hello Honey is the best!
Always amazing sweets and excellent friendly service. Love it!
Never been disappointed. So delicious! To the young man running the shop for a while, (due to bosses being out of town) excellent customer service!
The best ice cream Ive had in Cinci, hands down. Had the lava souffle with honey vanilla ice cream, just amazing flavor. Every bite was just SO good. They had lots of different flavors, and if their base flavour was this good I cant wait to try their other flavours.
Great service, familiar flavors with personalized touch. ...Torched marshmallow topping!!!
Doubt youre going to find better ice cream around. Homemade ice cream, unique rotating flavors, homemade toasted marshmallows...who could ask for anything more? The guy working August 5th (said it was his first day) was fantastic and very helpful.
Great service and the ice cream with the homemade waffle cone was the best. If you don’t like this place, stop eating ice cream.
