Shut the front door...Ohio has an Ice Cream Trail
This Mouthwatering Ice Cream Trail In Ohio Is All You’ve Ever Dreamed Of And More
With several local chains, dairy farms and iconic ice cream sundae joints, there is no shortage of delicious ice cream in the Buckeye State. In fact, we’ve got so many delicious ice cream places that it’s fair to say Ohio just might be the ice cream capital of America—and maybe even the world. The following road trip showcases some of the best, must-try ice cream joints in Ohio.


There’s no place quite like the Ye Olde Mill in Utica—where you can see how Velvet Ice Cream is made, take a free tour of the mill and try delicious flavors of ice cream you won’t find anywhere else. It is located at 11324 Mt Vernon Rd., Utica, OH 43080.

Since 1950, Tom's Ice Cream Bowl has served up the area's best homemade ice cream. Its homey, 1950s style makes it a nostalgic stop for many. (You can't go wrong with any flavor here but if you like nuts on your sundae, definitely get them. Their nuts are roasted fresh daily and all of their toppings are processed in-house.) Tom’s Ice Cream Bowl is located at 532 McIntire Ave., Zanesville, OH 43701.

Based in Columbus, with other locations throughout the state, Jeni's offers one-of-a-kind flavors made with all local ingredients. It's some of the creamiest, most delicious ice cream you'll ever have. (Seriously. That is not an exaggeration.)

If Ohio is the ice cream capital of the world, then Graeter's reigns king within the capital. With ice cream joints located all throughout the state, this ice cream is famously made via a time consuming French pot process that makes two gallons of ice cream at a time.


A Youngstown-area favorite known for its exceptionally smooth ice cream. Handel's has also expanded with locations throughout northeast and central Ohio. (Because it's just too good to keep in one place.)


While the freshly made ice cream will certainly entice you to check out this beloved working dairy farm, it’s all the other fun things you can do at Young’s Jersey Dairy that will make you stay awhile. Young’s Jersey Dairy is located at 6880 Springfield-Xenia Rd., Yellow Springs, OH 45387
