Dear readers, this was your top choice, and you gave it 43.4% of your ColumBEST vote. This ice cream powerhouse has a cult following for a reason. Jeni’s unfailingly imaginative culinary concoctions continually push the envelope on how we think of ice cream. Now say that five times fast.
Coming in at a close second with 41.7% of the vote, Graeter’s has been a mainstay in the state since Louis Charles Graeter sold his creations on the Cincinnati streets in 1870. They’ve since grown into a beloved frozen sweets staple.
Coming in at third place with 14.9% of the vote, Whit’s undeniably holds a place in the hearts of Columbus ice cream lovers. This is also not the time to debate custard v. ice cream. We’re here for both!
