Mt. Washington Creamy Whip

This is my favorite place in Mt. Washington. Yetta really loves it, even though she has to wait outside. If you’re ever over here, I think you should stop in. It’s a lot of fun to go here.

Just parking and walking up to this sweet treat haven you already get a feel for the ‘50’ vibe. After hiking around the California woods trail we stopped by for a refreshing treat, and I’m obsessed with soft serve so I was happy this was in the general area. This place only offered chocolate, vanilla and a twist of the two and as far as dips go, they had chocolate or cherry. I tried the cherry which tasted a little oddly bitter/​waxy. My BF had the chocolate Sundae which was standard. I think despite the limited, basic variety (as far as ice-​cream goes) the atmosphere is what would bring me back. The bill was around $ 6 for the both of us and FYI, they do not take American Express.

If you like soft serve this is your jam. Mt. Washington Creamy Whip is awesome. The menu is relatively small but it has all the classics including some home baked goods such as cupcakes and brownies. Parking is plentiful and the atmosphere inside is warm and welcoming. There was a decent sized crowd when my girlfriend and I arrived around 9pm on a Sunday evening but the line moved quickly and there is plenty of seating both inside as well as outside in the front. It’s a great place to kick back, relax and smash some soft serve.

Nice little shop in «downtown» Mt. Washington. Simple soft-​serve ice cream cones and shakes and the like. Also cookies are available. «Thumbprint» cookies available by the pound. There are inside seats and outdoor seating to watch the Beechmont traffic. Inside there are many historic photos that are interesting. Charm was lost with the photo of Dubya Bush… Businesses shouldn’t flaunt their political views IMO.
I ate part of my cone inside, looking at the different nostalgias, then sat out front for the rest. They had circus music playing for the outdoor patrons. Yes, I said Circus Music. I hope that was a joke and not always on. I’ll probably be back, so I’ll know if it was accidental.
So, it is nice to have some ice cream on Washington Mountain, but it won’t blow your socks off… Unless you a Republican Circus Performer, then, 5 stars for you!

Hmmm… to say the Creamy Whip is like Dairy Queen does it a huge disservice. The Creamy Whip is what Dairy Queen wishes it was! I had a great cherry dipped cone. The ice cream is rich and delicious. And, the cone was huge. A friend had a flurry and couldn’t finish it. He said it was «too much candy». Lastly, our friends 1 year old had her first ice cream cone there. The staff on duty (the owner I believe) fawned all over her and made us all feel very welcome. Thanks Creamy Whip!

We landed here by accident, and boy am I glad we did!
I was actually looking to check out a new biz in the area and stumbled upon this charming little Creamy Whip! Now I am a pretty harsh judge when it comes to Creamy Whips (they’re kinda my thing) but this one wins the star of approval.
We talked with the owner and she said this business had previously been a bakery and has been in their family since she was a little girl. Now they have combined their two passions: Baking and Ice Cream!
They have a ton of different items to choose from: Macaroons, cookies, cupcakes etc. Plus the typical cream whip fare: Shakes, cones, dip tops etc. I opted for a Vanilla Cone with a Cherry Dip Top which was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. My boyfriend got a strawberry shake and it was great too.
The atmosphere is funny and super old school. We ate outside and enjoyed the parlour tables. My only concern is that this place is right on the busy street and is super dangerous for children to be eating outside.
Overall a solid creamy whip! We will definetely be back!

Mary is a sweet owner with a warm environment and cold treats.

Nothing fancy here. Standard chocolate and vanilla ice cream, with a couple other options. This place is very traditional and, perhaps, a bit boring.
Despite being labeled a creamy whip, Mt. Washington also seems to put a bit more stock in their bakery. We didn’t try any during our visit, but that might be a reason to go again.
Overall, just a so-​so experience. There wasn’t anything offensive about our visit, but nothing memorable either.

Good soft serve ice cream. Big fan of the crunch topping. Also like that they have a rainbow sherbert selection.

Can we remove Thumbprint Furniture from the title of this venue? It hasn’t been a furniture store for at least the last two years I’ve walked this neighborhood and purposely ended at the creamy whip for a treat!
Unlike walk-​up creamy whips in the area, this one is more like an old time ice cream parlor where you can walk in, make your selection, browse the counter for bakery treats, take in the vintage details and then head outside to enjoy your cone on the sidewalk table and chairs.
I uploaded a photo of the menu board so one can see prices, which typical of a creamy whip. I do like that they offer gift certificates!

The Mt Washington Creamy Whip and Bakery is no longer a Furniture store that I can tell… They are very much a delicious bakery and ice cream parlor.
Their cupcakes are light and fluffy… and their baked goods are very moist and not over sugar’d or overly dry like most bakeries I’ve encountered in cincinnati. Check these guys out, they are super friendly and have delicious confections.
Cutest little back room area with an old counter with stools and a large tv. Check this place out when you are wandering mt washington.

Recently, where the Mt. Washington Bakery used to be located, a place called Thumbprint Furniture opened up. Then at the beginning of the month I noticed another sign above the location. Now the furniture store has a soft serve parlor in the front room and they’ve dubbed themselves the Mt. Washington Creamy Whip.
The soft serve is decent. They don’t have anything fancy just normal chocolate and vanilla flavors.
If you wander back through the door you will be amazed at what you will find. The furniture, gadgets, and knick knacks in the back of the store are so cool! There were so many retro and art deco dining room tables and chairs that I just wanted to buy up! They have several really old gas stoves. The awesome ones with the special compartments for casseroles and broilers. There are also old memorabilia, posters, shelving, and various furniture pieces. Everything is old, but is in a pristine vintage condition. Most of the furniture is pretty pricey.
It was cool to see the back where the bakery used to make their donuts everyday!
