Rookwood is rooted in Ohio history

Today, the sweet shop serves up scoops of Graeter's Ice Cream. This family-owned establishment was established by Louis Charles Graeter in 1870, starting with just a couple of ice cream carts. From the very beginning, Graeter's has crafted its ice cream using a traditional French pot method. Typically, French ice cream incorporates eggs, resulting in a rich and creamy base. In the French pot process, a smooth custard is poured into a rotating 2 ½ gallon open container, producing a dense ice cream that is high in butterfat and low in air.
The Rookwood Ice Cream Parlor is adorned with a mosaic of lush tiles that reach from the floor to the ceiling. Like the local business that provides the parlor's frozen treats, the pottery company after which the sparkling green shop is named is a Cincinnati institution. Founded in 1880 by Maria Longworth-Nichols, Rookwood Pottery has supplied ceramics and tiles to various notable American architectural projects, including the subway system in New York City.
