Lil Goodie Shoppe - Price Hill

The Lil Goodie Shoppe's new Price Hill location brings West Side soft-serve tradition to the Incline District — Dole Whip, flurries, and the legendary Reese Cup parfait.

Price Hill

The Lil Goodie Shoppe has brought its West Side sweet-treat tradition to Price Hill, and the Incline Village neighborhood is better for it. Tucked along West 8th Street in the heart of the Incline District, this second location carries on the family-owned legacy that's made the Colerain Township original a Cincinnati institution since 1985. The menu is a serious lineup — silky soft-serve, frozen yogurt, Dole Whip, flurries, malts, shakes, and floats — but the standouts have a way of becoming obsessions. The Reese Cup parfait is a peanut butter and chocolate dream that regulars swear by, the Turtle Sundae is pure indulgence, and the brownie sundae never disappoints. Cool down even further with one of their colorful slushies, a Glacier, or a classic soft-serve cone piled high. Whether you're stopping in after a night out on the Incline or just looking for a reason to treat yourself, the Lil Goodie Shoppe on West 8th is ready to become your new neighborhood go-to.
