2. Black Cherry Chocolate Chip

There’s something about black cherry and chocolate that just screams decadence, and Black Cherry Chocolate Chip delivers on that promise. Each scoop represents a bold contrast, where juicy, tart black cherries meet generous chunks of bittersweet chocolate in a rich, luscious base. 

It’s one of those Graeter’s ice cream flavors that wins over both fruit fans and chocolate lovers while bringing plenty of mouthfeel to the table. Compared to something like the simplicity of a creamy vanilla flavor, this one’s anything but subtle — so if you’re chasing drama by the spoonful, go ahead and dig in.

3. Butter Pecan

While Butter Pecan can be a hit or miss for some taste buds, this Graeter’s ice cream flavor proves its worth as a timeless classic. Rich, buttery ice cream blends with perfectly toasted whole pecans to deliver a comforting, nutty sweetness that doesn’t try too hard, and certainly doesn’t need to.

Fans of Graeter’s ice cream flavors who crave a balance of creamy richness with a salty crunch will find their match here. This quiet legend in a pint isn’t flashy or wild, but that’s the beauty of it.

4. Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip

A Graeter’s ice cream flavor that needs no introduction (national recognition already in the bag), Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip is a true signature favorite. It combines luscious, tart black raspberry ice cream in a stunning shade of purple with the brand's famously large bittersweet chocolate chunks for an unforgettable combo.

This is another Graeter’s ice cream flavor for fruit lovers and chocolate fans, though those massive chips might catch you off guard if you’re expecting sprinkles. But honestly? That surprise is part of the fun.

5. Vienna Coffee

Smooth, rich and made with Sumatran and Colombian Arabica beans, Vienna Coffee is a love letter to coffee fans who crave more than just a caffeine fix. This isn’t your average coffee ice cream; it’s creamy, elegant and tastes like your favorite café drink perfectly frozen.

One of the more underrated Graeter’s ice cream flavors, this one speaks to grown-up palates that prefer a little depth over a sugar rush. It’s not ideal for folks who steer clear of caffeine, but for many, it’s the ultimate refined scoop.

6. Buckeye Blitz Chocolate Chip

One thing’s for sure, Buckeye Blitz Chocolate Chip doesn’t hold back in its celebration of peanut butter and chocolate, Ohio style. This Graeter’s ice cream flavor combines rich chocolate ice cream, chewy peanut butter cookie dough and signature dark chocolate chips for one seriously decadent bite.

If you grew up loving peanut butter cups or have a sweet tooth with a nostalgic streak, this Graeter’s ice cream flavor is the ideal choice for you. Fair warning: it’s a hefty scoop packed with texture, so it’s probably not the pick if you’re craving something simple. 

7. Cookies and Cream

A timeless classic done the Graeter’s way, Cookies and Cream is pure comfort in a cone, bowl or straight out of the container. This dreamy Graeter's ice cream flavor is loaded with crunchy Oreo cookies in generous, not-shy-at-all chunks.

9. S’mores

If you’re craving campfire vibes without the smoke, S’mores is the Graeter’s ice cream flavor you'll want to get your hands on. Imagine gooey graham cracker-flavored ice cream studded with chunks of milk chocolate chips and marshmallows. Or better yet, skip the imagining and grab a pint.

20. Peppermint Stick

If you love that refreshing, tingly mouthfeel that lingers long after your peppermint treat is gone, Peppermint Stick deserves a prime spot in your freezer. Available from late November to December, it’s one of the most invigorating Graeter’s ice cream flavors around, with peppermint oil adding an extra kick.

While it nails the minty magic, the chewy peppermint candy pieces can be clingy, often trying their best to wedge between your teeth. Nevertheless, for true peppermint fans, it’s a small price to pay for such a festive, cooling scoop.

21. Cinnamon

Sugar, spice and everything nice are exactly what you’ll find in a pint of Graeter’s Cinnamon ice cream. This cozy classic skips the flashy mix-ins and lets the warm spice do the talking, delivering just enough fall flavor to welcome the new season.

While some might find it plain on its own, that simplicity leaves room for pairing magic, from warm apple pie to buttery crumble. You can snag this spice-kissed Graeter’s ice cream flavor between October and November, and until then, your taste buds will just have to wait patiently.

22. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip

Craving both peanut butter and chocolate chips? Then, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip is your answer. This nutty Graeter’s ice cream flavor is salty-sweet perfection for anyone who swears peanut butter and chocolate belong together (they absolutely do). The peanut butter base is rich and creamy without being overpowering, while the milk chocolate chips add just the right amount of indulgence.

Fans of Graeter’s ice cream flavors with bold bites will be all over this one. The chocolate chips are generously sized and sometimes steal the spotlight, but honestly, that’s not the worst problem to have.

23. Eggnog

Whether you count down the days until eggnog season or cringe at the very thought of it, there’s no denying its impact. So, of course, Graeter’s gave it the frozen treatment. Nutmeg, rum and eggs come together in each scoop, wrapping you in a cozy, holiday hug. 

This is another seasonal Graeter’s ice cream flavor worth scooping while you can. Of course, if you’re anti-eggnog, this won’t make your Christmas list. But, love it or leave it, it’s the kind of flavor that leans all the way into what it is — a holiday favorite.

24. Orange and Cream

Don’t let the name scare you, orange and ice cream make a delicious duo, just give Orange and Cream a taste. This seasonal Graeter’s ice cream flavor is like a grown-up creamsicle with extra flair, blending orange purée with a creamy base for an irresistibly refreshing combo.

It’s light, playful and delivers exactly what it says on the package. The only downside? It’s a fleeting treat, available just one month a year. So, if this mellow, citrus-kissed Graeter's ice cream flavor wins you over, you’ll be counting down the days until next May.

25. Mocha Chocolate Chip

Latte lovers who dream in espresso and dark chocolate are in for a treat with Mocha Chocolate Chip. This smoky Graeter’s ice cream flavor invites anyone who treats mocha like a food group to experience a rich blend of roasted Arabica beans.

Each serving is chaotic in the best way possible, with salty, sweet, crunchy and gooey elements hitting a different note in every bite, and somehow, it works. One of the more indulgent Graeter’s ice cream flavors, it’s for snack lovers who can’t pick just one craving to satisfy.

27. Banana Chocolate Chip

A throwback to banana splits and homemade desserts, Banana Chocolate Chip is one of those comfort-driven Graeter’s ice cream flavors that might stir up debate. Banana can be a polarizing pick, often accused of stealing the show, but here, it’s mellow and naturally sweet, allowing the milk chocolate chips to shine.

It’s a surprisingly balanced scoop for anyone who grew up with banana-flavored everything (and didn’t mind). Whether you’re a longtime banana fan or just banana-curious, this light-hearted Graeter's flavor proves the combo still deserves a spot in the spotlight. And if you still need convincing, it happens to take first prize in Bob Graeter's daughter's books.

With velvety bourbon notes and sweet glazed pecans folded into rich brown butter ice cream, it sounds like a dream, and for many, it is. That said, it does its job a little too well, so if you prefer your scoops a little more subtle on the liqueur front, it might be a bit overpowering.

29. Birthday Cake

Anytime is a good time for cake, and Birthday Cake ice cream gives you the perfect excuse to dig in. Easily one of the most playful Graeter’s ice cream flavors, this one brings a dreamy cake batter base to life. Soft chunks of real cake and rainbow sprinkles add a touch of whimsy to every scoop.
