12 Degrees Italian Ice | Our Story

A Maineville original since 2014

A Maineville original since 2014

12 Degrees Italian Ice started with one simple idea: make something genuinely delicious from scratch, right here in Maineville. Three families later, that's still exactly what we do.
The beginning

The beginning

The Spencer family opened 12 Degrees in 2014 on Grandin Road in Maineville, Ohio — a neighborhood shop built around small-batch Italian ice and a genuine love of the community. From day one, everything was made in-house, with no shortcuts.
Three families, one shop

In 2019, the Urlage family took the reins and kept the craft alive. In 2025, the McMillian family became the latest stewards — same small-batch commitment, same Maineville home.

Italian ice is our signature, and the menu goes well beyond it: gelati, Dole soft serve, floats, flights, swirls, and more. The variety keeps people coming back.
