Graeter’s Ice Cream

Love Graeter’s! I’ve been going to Graeter’s for at least 25 years. I almost always get the black raspberry chip in a waffle cone. I always try and come back at least once when I come home.

I really enjoy Graeter’s Ice Cream! I can’t eat some of the signature flavors due to my peanut allergy, but I really love the cookie dough and the black raspberry. The best part of Graeter’s are the chocolate chunks that are mixed in. These are not just some little tiny chips like most other ice creams, these are really big chunks! The quality of the ice cream is always spot on and consistent which I appreciate.
I don’t go out of ice cream very often, but if we do this is our favorite place. They even have this rewards card thing that gets you coupons and free ice cream! I’m a fan of free or bogo offers.

Can’t really say anything more about Graeter’s that hasn’t been said already. Ice cream is top notch and the workers here are really friendly. Good amount of seating inside and a nice outside area to relax in the summertime. There’s a small lot outside for Peking, but it does share the lot with the other businesses in the plaza so it can fill up pretty quick. Street parking isn’t bad around the area tho.

Yummmmmy the new flavour bourbon pecan chip is sooooo good! This is a wonderful neighbourhood hang out!!!

I live in New York and there are very few grocery stores that carry Graeter’s Ice Cream. I’m a big fan of chocolate raspberry flavor and was excited to try it here and am not disappointed. If you do not know, this is super premium ice cream and unlike store bough ice creams this isn’t aerated to increase volume. Instead they use fat and you can feel the difference as the ice cream is so creamy and flavorful. Those big chocolate chunks are a delight as they just melt in your mouth.

So, mint chocolate chip ice cream is my favorite ice cream. Let’s be honest, my favorite food. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I adore graters for their mint chocolate chip ice cream because of their lack of green coloring. I thought it was weird at first because everyone else makes their mint chocolate chip ice cream with a green color but after tasting and knowing the pure ingredients in this ice cream, i can’t go back. Call me weird but never call me late for ice cream. This location is a classic and one I have been to for years. Worthington is such a cute town.

:Slow clap: I had an awesome customer-​service experience at this Graeter’s last week. I’m usually a Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams girl, but last week, I was craving good-ol’-fashioned ice cream cake, the kind with old-​fashioned custardy ice cream and soft sponge cake underneath. Basically, I wanted something that was a big step up from Baskin Robbins or Carvel but not as gourmet or pricey as Jeni’s.
So off I went to Graeter’s in Worthington. As I stared hungrily, and confusedly, at my eight (!) awesome flavor choices in the cake case, the nice gal behind the counter asked if I needed help selecting one. When I said yes, she handed me a handy info sheet about the various cakes, including details about the trims, cake flavors, etc. I told the girl that I was waffling between two different cakes (Mint Chip Truffle and Black Raspberry Chip, in case you wondered). The gal suggested, in a half-​joking tone, that I buy both of them. I told her that I was buying just for me and my husband, so she suggested I buy two 1845 Tower sundaes, one with mint chip ice cream and the other with black raspberry chip ice cream. Since the 1845 Tower sundae has chocolate bundt cake on the bottom – «the same cake that’s in the ice-​cream cakes,» she said – it would be like getting a little one-​person ice-​cream cake + whipped cream, hot fudge, etc.
Well, that was a heckuva good idea, and it only cost me $ 12 for two BIG ice-​cream sundaes. Without prompting, the employee wisely scooped the hot fudge into a separate container so that it wouldn’t melt the sundaes on my drive home. I will definitely, 100% go back to this Graeter’s location the next time I’ve got an ice-​cream-​cake craving!

We are from out of town and met a group of friends here. Really liked the ice cream and it’s a nice environment. Would go back if we go back to the area.

Mocha chocolate chip how I miss you. Every time I’m back in town, Graeter’s is on my list of «must stop» places. I wish you would open in Santa Monica, CA next! I know you now sell ice cream via Ralph’s/Krogers but it’s just not the same as going to my beloved Graeter’s ice cream shop in Old Worthington. See you soon, my old friend!

So much better than Jenny’s.

Pretty good quality ice cream, average size scoops. Limited flavor selection, but the flavors themselves are quite tasty. Their menu separates ice cream into flavors with and without chips, so I was expecting the chips to be special. Not only are they milk chocolate instead of dark, but they’re chewy instead of crunchy. I’ve never had chips like that in ice cream and I never want to again. (The toffee pieces in the toffee ice cream were also not crunchy. I expected a flavor like toffee chip to be full of crunch and it tasted like it was left out in the rain.)

Ice cream is fine, but it seems over-​priced for the quality. I wouldn’t put them above a Dairy Queen.
This location will get very crowded on summer weekends.

I came here for a sundae and found out that the raised all the prices by a ton. I’m not talking about a few cents per scoop but a lot. The sundae was still good but they’re no longer my favorite.

It really just keeps getting better. Ive been living here 5 months now and ive already gotten sweet rewards 3x now. I come here 1 – 3 times a week and Ive been trying to order something different every time. Ive tried the cookies n cream, mint choc chip, peach, choc cherry, raspberry chic, butter pecan, strawberry, blue berry pie, cookie dough, milkshakes, and a bunch of different kinds of chocoaltes. My favorite was blue berry pie up until they came out with Mexican Chocolate… I went back 3 days in a row just to order that flavor again and again. I know its seasonal but maybe they’ll decide to keep it around longer. One could only hope!
All of their ice cream is just as yummy with a few that really end up surprising you. Mint choc chip was neevr a favorite of mine but last week I was craving something different. They handed me this white ice cream with choc chunks in it… I almost handed it back (it wasnt green.) but decided to try it. I couldnt believe it was white! I know thats such a small detail but it would be like strawberry ice cream being blue. Which reminds me… their peach ice cream is pink. Its the small things that matter to me and being able to be surprised by ice cream flavors is nice.
They have mostly normal flavors but their ice cream is nothing short of specail & unique!

This is my favorite of all Graeter’s locations. They keep it clean, the servers are speedy, and when you ask for your milkshake to be thick, you need a spoon to eat it, which is exactly how I like mine. For an extra kick, ask for a shot of vanilla syrup in whatever milkshake you get.
Since Jeni’s moved in down the road, it’s not as busy as it used to be, and that’s a good thing in my opinion since it means there are more tables available.
If you don’t like kids, go early or late, because the place is thick with them after school until about 8. And make sure you give the seasonal flavors a try. The peach, strawberry chip, and banana cream pie have been some of their best offerings and they aren’t available all year.

Whenever I feel the funk, I go for the chunk.
This slogan has yet to be approved by Graeters, but I am working on it– so no worries. Their ice cream surpasses all. I know some of you go for Jeni’s (which is equally and differently amazing) and other local ice digs, but for me the large servings, and chocolate chunks (that are comparable to an entire chocolate bar) win me over whenever I go out for that delectable treat.
I usually go for the Raspberry Chocolate Chunk, but I have been known to cheat on that flavor and try some others out.
Depending on the location of the place you stop at there is nice outdoor seating, complete with benches and a water fountain to rinse down the ice cream and wipe your face off – wait what? You don’t dive into your ice cream head first?

I’m sorry Graeters. I was judgmental of you from all the bad Yuppie drivers who cut me off, or almost caused crashes, so they could make their way to Graeters, and I vowed to ignore all contact with Graeters ice-​cream, or any of their establishments.
However, I was in Worthington and had some time to kill before a nail appointment, so the boy took me into Graeters for some ice-​cream. I ordered the personal favorite of Chocolate Chip Cookie dough in a waffle cone.
Here’s where I was blown away. Yes, the Ice-​cream itself was nothing ridiculously out of this world, or anything, but the cookie dough was NOT fake, and was so soft and delicious without being sugar, or gritty like. Also, for once in my life, the chocolate chips were soft, and fudge like almost.
Now most times when order ice-​cream with chocolate chips in it, you usually get hard crunchy bits of chocolate, which I’m surprised they haven’t broken my teeth out, and usually the taste of chocolate is lost from the cold temperature of the ice-​cream.
I don’t know what kind of science Graeters is bringing to the frozen dessert table, but they have managed to conquer chocolate chips and cookie dough in a vanilla ice-​cream on top of a waffle cone.
I would gladly stop by again. There was plenty of seating in here, and open room, and thanks to the yuppies who would rather be outside sniffing carbon monoxide from all the cars and traffic jams of Worthington market weekend, I got the whole place to myself.
Sweet.

Huge fan of Graeter’s Ice Cream. I’m from KC and believe this is a fantastic ending to any meal. I don’t know that it’s the best I’ve ever had, but it’s quality hand dipped ice cream, nice and creamy.
I always go for the hand dipped ice cream in a waffle cone. But I did recently notice they also have fruit smoothies, yogurt smoothies and blended coffee drinks too. They even have a vegan ice cream/​yogurt too.
I love how they have seasonal flavors and some classic ones too.

I have been a fan of Graeter’s since back in the day. I don’t know if the trend still holds but when I was in high school, everyone* worked here.
A FEW years have passed since then. When I find myself in Ye Olde Worthington visiting family, I am pleased to note there is still a line out the door in summertime and they still have the delicious old standbys, such as the enormous waffle cones, phosphates, and super chunky ice cream (like my favorite, mocha chip).
Graeter’s is more prolific in the area these days, and now you can buy pints of the ice cream at grocery stores. However — I recommend visiting this location for the TRUE Graeter’s experience. Sit outside and people watch on High Street… like old times!
(*Except me. It was more fun being friends with the employees and getting an extra scoop for free)

By far the BEST ice cream ever!!! Definitely something i have to have every time I visit now! When I use to live here, I would frequent quite often. This location is very quaint and has lots of seating for everyone.
My favorite is the Blackberry Chip! It’s purple with huge chucks of chocolate. I do have to say, sometimes the chocolate chucks are way to big. I prefer more ice cream then chocolate but it’s the creamiest, best tasting ice cream I’ve ever had!
Seasonal favorites are the pumpkin which I have also been able to get! The coffee chip is also great for coffee lovers who want some chocolate chucks as well. It so sooo good. I wish they sold it everywhere! you don’t want to miss it!
