Every kid loves slushies. Our ode to the idea? Trailside Ice Shack. Reminisce over memories of treats after the big game on those hot summer days. Pick any flavor you like or even create a crazy custom combination!

With variations on an old classic, you can’t go wrong with the mac ‘n cheese. Always an ooey, gooey, cheesy and delicious favorite! Yelp Tip: ½ price on Mondays and with an entire menu dedicated to mac – you’re sure to please every palate.

 

Streetpops

Oakley, Downtown Cincinnati and Various Farmers Markets
Popsicles have been around since 1905, but here’s a trick – sneak some healthy fruits into your kids’ pops by opting for a streetpop! Locally made in both cream and fruit varieties with plenty of seasonal ingredients snuck in.

Dinner for the whole family, including Spot! After you order for you and the kiddies, don’t forget to add a little treat for your furry friend. Tickle Pickle offers half patties for dogs and has a pet friendly patio.
