50 Years of Honey Hut: Photo Gallery

Cleveland is home to several terrific ice cream shops. On a hot summer night, it’s easy to hop in the car and, within 15 minutes, be taking your first bite of delightful ice cream.

One iconic Cleveland ice cream shop, Honey Hut, turns 50 years old this year. The family business was started in 1974 and is still going strong with four locations in Greater Cleveland, including the original on State Road in Cleveland’s Old Brooklyn neighborhood.

Kevin Page, a third-generation employee, is one of several family members to work at Honey Hut, including his grandfather and his dad. “Obviously the world has changed, culture has changed and everything, but still the heart of it is giving the best quality ice cream,” Page says. “I think we try to do the best quality ice cream the lowest cost that we can.”
