Free samples, always
Scoops so good, even the walls are drawn to them
Every wall, stool and column is hand-painted in black marker line: drawn brick, drawn skylines, drawn dog portraits, a glowing drip counter and a cow-print runner down the middle of the room. Overhead, the Arcade's 1890 pressed-tin ceiling and chandeliers are absolutely real.
- Taste before you choose — the staff will keep handing over samples
- Cookies baked from scratch, great on their own, better on a scoop
- One of the most photographed rooms in downtown Cleveland
customer love
“The free samples were a great touch, and the ice cream was delicious! It was a real treat to enjoy it in such a charming, historical arcade building. The ambiance added to the experience, making it feel extra special.”
“Must try! DELICIOUS ICE CREAM. Perfect place to take a date and enjoy some unbelievable ice cream. I always order 2 to 3 scoops each, so many options for flavors. I highly recommend. Also, support a local business too!”
“Delicious ice cream, they make their ice cream with actual cake so it tastes exactly like the real thing. I had the Banana pudding flavor. Will be back to try more!”
