Putz's Creamy Whip

Best icecream in the city with friendly service to boot. Generous servings at reasonable prices. Despite less than ideal location, Putz sweeps you into a park like setting causing you to  forget the hughway

I think the reason I'm writing about the creamy whip in October is because I miss it dearly. Its so close to my art studio, and when driving home, I always pass it with 'what ifs' dancing in my head... a chocolate soda today? maybe a chocolate dip top? yes, you guessed it. I'm a big chocolate fan.

Putz's is one of my favorite creamy whip's in town. There isn't one thing on the menu that isn't good and its so affordable! Even their slushies have flavor instead of just being sugar water.

They are known for having these huge old creamy whip machines from the 1920's that churn the whip a bit differently, allowing more air, but I'm more contemporary and like the newer machines because they make the frozen concoction smoother.

If you're on a budget but want to treat yo' self, whether it be with a foot long hot dog
( for some reason these taste amazing here even though they aren't grilled and their buns are always moist and fresh), or a chocolate malt you can't go wrong.

The owners are really friendly and will remember you and your name, even though 3 seasons will pass before they see you again. I also like the Americana feel and the fact that in the 70's they wrote to the government and got the highway builders to move their on ramp going north, so that they could keep their location.

I would say my only  complaints is that its cash only, but if you can find some spare change in your car, you can still afford a hot dog or a sprinkle cone! And for the record, "Putz" is a family name, they also had the street named after them and its pronounced with a long u as in "Putt Putt".

This is one of Cincinnati's best hidden gems. Always takes you back to being a kid. Footlong cheese coney, and chocolate milkshake is always the top of the top.
