Hands down the best milkshakes and malts you'll ever taste, plus a huge selection of ice creams and candies made right in the store. Original vintage details: old marble counters, original marble tables and pink wallpaper. It's a Cincinnati/Oakley classic! You can even sit at a table and be served by a server--what other ice cream shop has that?
