Johnson’s Real Ice Cream — Restaurant in Columbus

Had a great visit to Johnson's Ice cream. First met them from the 2024 #ohioicecreamtrail, and then found they are all over Columbus, from Bexley to Powell. Stopped in today at the one on 4th st in the Short North. Beautiful, fresh, lively environment. I was greeted right away.

It had ice cream, whipped cream and a dog treat. She scarf it all down faster than I could eat my 2 dips. Easy parking out front. Clear flow of people in a line through the restaurant.

I would definitely come back for another visit. Easy access from the highway, easy access and close to OSU. Just a great place to go to get some...

The ice cream was delicious (I got double chocolate non dairy, but also tried some regular dairy flavors as well). I wish this location the best of luck in not getting...
