Honey Hut Ice Cream

Best ice cream I’ve ever eaten. Two, large scoops of honey pecan (called butter pecan at most ice cream stores) at Honey Hut costs $ 3.00 ($ 2.25 for one scoop) which is not only a terrific bargain but the absolute best product offered in the area (taking Mitchell’s Ice Cream into consideration), as on the honey pecan, Honey Hut beats Mitchell’s, both on quality and price). Go to Honey Hut this summer!

Honey Hut Ice Cream is the BEST local ice cream in Cleveland, period. My faves… Chocolate Peanut Butter, Honey Pecan, German Chocolate and Birthday Cake! My guys like the cookies and cream and Vanilla Chocolate Chip. You have to try Honey Hut… you’ll never want that «other» local ice cream place again!
Worst thing about Honey Hut… I live in Old Brooklyn and there’s a store there as well… which means we have to limit ourselves to every other week :)

There is nothing more gratifying than enjoying a scoop, or two. from Honey Hut on a warm summer day! Buck heck, this ice cream would be a treat even in the dead of winter during a snowstorm. You cannot put a price tag on quality, and that is just what you get here with a unique mix of flavors sweetened with — you guessed it — honey! While there are many great places ice cream destinations throughout Northeast Ohio, Honey Hut easily makes the top five because quality and originality are two ingredients that many other places just don’t have, e.g., Dairy Queen, Baskin Robbins.

Such wonderful ice cream! The texture is joyously creamy and the flavors are rich and encompass the standards and many creative ones — like orange blossom (outstanding!) and honey graham — all at excellent prices. The staff is patient and friendly. There’s plenty of outdoor seating; there’s no indoor seating as this is a large ice cream stand, but much of the seating is under an awning. My only complaint is that oddly — although like other places I’ve seen around Cleveland — it looks like only a few flavors can be used for milkshakes (and I keep forgetting to ask why that is), which is too bad as many of the other flavors would make incredible milkshakes.

The ice cream was great. A very original flavor. The portion was huge. Glad we came here.

This is my favorite ice cream place in Cleveland, and well worth the wait if there’s a line. I’ve never had a flavor that wasn’t great, but what keeps me coming back is the honey pecan.

The Best Ice cream, in town! Great place to bring the kids, and have a good time. The staff is very kid friendly.

I really like their ice cream but, ice cream has gotten to be very expensive. Not long ago what used to be a medium size became the large and the price went up. If you don’t care about the price then this is a great place.

My first time here and the staff were very friendly and everything was wonderful. I got the banana split and my mother got the lemon meringue and we both loved it!

where do I start… in Ohio all that is passed of for Ice Cream is basically 2 percent milk frozen… NOW…Ice Scream… I scream, we All Scream for ICE CREAM. LOL… there is no other… in Philly you have Ginos as a landmark philly steak sandwich, in Wisconsin CHEESE RULES… in new York Hot Dogs. in CLEVELAND OHIO … old Brooklyn to be exact, which in itself takes your mind bac to 1900s… many brick streets still here, old ladies with babushkas sweeping the curb in front of there house. a place where folks actually use the thing called a porch, sit outside and gab with the neighbors… THEN GOD DECIDED TO BLESS US EVEN MORE! Hoey Hut was born on the 8^th day… I always get the strawberry shortcake…2 soft cakes on the bottom huge scoops of heaven. er I mean ice cream and plenty of strawberries. also, the occasional celebrity drops in… Indian baseball players, Browns… and DREW CARREY. a native old brookliner, he still owns his moms house and stay there when in town… so Hipsters, Jocks, red necks and hillbillies… you will be impressed!

BEST ICE CREAM PLACE IN OH! HANDS DOWN! Don’t waste your time going anywhere else. The Elvis Sunday is the bomb!!!

Amazing local ice cream chain in the greater Cleveland area. They have some signature flavors (orange blossom, chocolate pecan) as well as the familiar flavors. They also have sundaes and other sweet concoctions. The line is usually long, but they generally have enough staff so I’ve never waited too long. The main downside is that there is no indoor seating area, but ice cream is best on a hot day anyway! Also, sometimes people smoke in the area where you wait in line and sit which I just find to be rude but I guess it’s allowed. If they could put a no smoking sign, I’d give it a fifth star!

Great little place. I recommend the honey pecan with an extra side of their perfectly roasted pecans. Yum!

People that I know are from the Cleveland area tell me they’ve never been here and I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND. Yes, there are a ton of other ice cream spots in the Cle area that are also really good, but Honey Hut is a tried and true standby. No gimmicks, no funky flavors, just sweet, delicious ice cream.
If there is a particular season flavor you like you have to get there at the beginning of the month, otherwise it will be gone. That’s my one complaint about this place, and the sole reason I’m giving it four stars. There have been many times we have come even on the second WEEK of the month, and they are sold out for good of the monthly flavor… and those flavors only come around once a year. When I asked why they don’t just make more to last throughout the entire month, they just said they make a limited amount of each flavor. Seems a little counterintuitive to me, especially since people come specifically to try those particular flavors.
All criticism about limited flavor availability aside, this place is great. I absolutely love coming here in the summer and sitting out on the «patio» to eat my ice cream, and this place will always have a special place in my heart.

Full disclosure: I used to work at Honey Hut years ago. I love Honey Hut, the owners, the company atmosphere, everything. I could probably ramble on for days, but I’ll cut it short. In summary: HONEY PECAN IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE.

Deliciously unique flavors of ice cream, with a façade that is a throw back to the 1960’s. If your visiting cleveland this place is a must.

Solid tasty ice cream with such pleasant customer service. Somehow coming here feels like being in the late 1980s. It’s so clear that this place is about the ice cream. No gimmicks or frills. No «hip» additions like kale sprinkles. It’s the excellence of ice cream.

Simply the best strawberry ice cream around! I’m usually a mint chocolate kind of guy, but at this place I always go for the strawberry! I’ve had a few other flavors here but they just don’t compare.
The strawberry ice cream is unbelievably smooth and creamy. It has just the right amount of sweetness and tartness from the frozen bits of strawberry. Best of all, this place is very reasonably priced compared to Sweet Moses or Mitchell’s. I recently found out that they offer an even smaller portion than the junior, dubbed the «golf ball» for only $ 1! Great for days where you want dessert but still full from dinner/​lunch/​breakfast.

Let’s be honest, it’s pretty hard to screw up ice cream… but you can tell Honey Hut definitely is good quality. But beyond that, this place is definitely a staple of the Old Brooklyn area and a legend in it’s own right. I only go once every couple of years but it definitely never disappoints.
Best part about this particular location is it’s outdoor seating area.

Absolutely amazing. Their ice cream is to die for. I had the banana split and it was a great portion. I got mine with butter pecan (my favorite), honey Graham, and vanilla… All three flavors were amazing. If this place was in my city i would be going all the time.

I’m not much of an ice cream person. Actually, I could probably do just as well without it. My wife, however, falls a wee bit toward the other end of the spectrum. This is how we found our way to the Honey Hut in Cleveland’s Old Brooklyn neighborhood on an unseasonably warm early May evening. The smiling bee, staring at two scoops, finger on his chin, ponderous, beckoned us closer.
It’s small. Not really much bigger than a two-​car garage. And it’s wracked with Cleveland character. From its beginnings as a cobbler’s shop to their use of honey as the ice cream’s sweetener there’s no denying the Honey Hut’s got it. A testament to their success can be seen in their multiple locations around northeast Ohio, 5 to be exact with a sixth on the way in Brunswick. I’ve only been to a couple of them but the Old Brooklyn shoppe, the original, should be your first stop. But what about the product?
As I said before, when it comes to ice cream I can take it or leave it but even I have to give them credit. This stuff is fantastic. Smooth, creamy, sweet, fattening and flavorful. It has everything you could ever want in a homemade ice cream. The honey definitely adds depth and the unique flavors (coconut banana cream anyone?) push them over the top. Banana splits, sundaes, shakes, malts, and monthly seasonal flavors (
).
We sat on one of the benches just around the corner and watched the people. Cleveland’s roly-​poly population, aware but not caring that there’s a junior size cone, waddling up to the windows, black yoga pants stretched to their limits, screaming kids dressed in soccer uniforms dragging their dads, dogs licking little vanilla bowls, tiny picnic tables for the toddlers (or adults that want to feel like giants), outrageously loud Harley Davidsons rumbling down State Road. The cold, melty ice cream, so sweet my teeth scream, mingles with the atmosphere and makes for lasting Cleveland memories. It’s no wonder so many people are in love with Honey Hut. I think I’ve got a bit of a crush myself.
