Get ready for a sweet treat, Cincinnati! The Lil Goodie Shoppe, a beloved ice cream institution in Colerain Township, is doubling the delight with a brand-new location in Price Hill. But here's where it gets exciting: this expansion isn't just about more ice cream (though who doesn't love that?). It's a testament to the enduring appeal of a local favorite that's been churning out soft-serve smiles for over four decades. And this is the part most people miss: the new spot, nestled on Mount Hope Road in the Incline District, is taking over the space once occupied by Bold Face Dairy Bar, adding a layer of nostalgia to the already sweet story.
For those who haven't indulged yet, the Lil Goodie Shoppe is more than just an ice cream stand—it's a community staple. Known for their creamy soft-serve and friendly service, the shop has been a go-to destination for families, couples, and ice cream enthusiasts alike. Their original location on Eagle Creek Road in Colerain Township has been a local landmark since its inception, and now, the magic is spreading to Price Hill.
But here's a thought to chew on: with the rise of trendy, artisanal ice cream shops, will the classic soft-serve charm of the Lil Goodie Shoppe continue to win hearts in a new neighborhood? Or will it remind Price Hill residents of the simple joys of a perfectly swirled cone? The new location is set to open in mid-April, and we can't wait to see how it fits into the fabric of the community.
What do you think? Is soft-serve ice cream still your go-to, or do you prefer the fancier options popping up everywhere? Let us know in the comments—we’re all ears (and taste buds)!
