    Parking sign at the Dairy Creme
    Molly M.

    Hear ye! Hear ye! Calling all ice cream lovers! Come gather 'round and I'll tell you the tale of the famous Vermont creemee. The Dairy Creme is a Vermont staple, especially for those of us living in Central Vermont. Many wait with great trepidation to hear when the Dairy Creme will serve its first creemee of the season; a tell-tale sign that summer has begun. Now, I know what you're saying. What the hell is a creemee? Well, my dear friends, a creemee is what other states and other non-Vermont people (we'll leave the Woodchucks & Flatlanders debate for another time) call soft serve. It really feels so wrong for me to say soft serve having grown up knowing that was the give away that someone was from out of state. Now, we all know that Vermont is known for their maple products. It's a natural progression from maple syrup to a maple creemee, but I recommend going to Bragg Farm or Morse Farm for one of those bad babies. Here at the Dairy Creme, you can still get a maple creemee, but they have soooooooo many other ice cream creations, concoctions, and choices for you to try. And YES! THERE ARE DAIRY-FREE OPTIONS FOR THOSE OF US WHO CANNOT HAVE THE MILK! That being said, I often don't care about my body when ice cream or cheese is involved and you can spot me picking dairy-filled options most of the time. My personal favourites are the M&M creemee cookie with vanilla creemee, a small peanut butter blizzard with oreos or butterfingers, or a small hot fudge sundae with extra whipped cream. Shout out to my whipped cream buddy, Rachel Barich (you can find her here on Yelp & on Instagram @rachsfoodfuel)! And, like all good things, you know that summer has come to its end when the Dairy Creme serves its last creemee & closes up for the winter months ahead. Thus the flow of one season in Vermont into the next continues on its way. If you're in my neck of the woods this or any summer, I highly recommend giving Dairy Creme a try. Your first, second, or too-many-and-you've-lost-count creemee may leave you wanting more & I'm sure that the folks down at Dairy Creme will be happy to see your face on those sunshiny summer days!

    Picture of my boys enjoying their yummy treat.

    Was visiting from California and all I wanted was a maple soft serve ice cream. Dairy creme exceeded my expectations and I could fly back to CA happy. Don't know if I'll ever be in Vermont again so I'll cherish that ice cream forever.

    Maple & Butterscotch Not good
    Joan L.

    Around the country we call it "soft serve ice cream". Some even call it "custard". In Vermont it is a "creamer". I had heard that the thing to eat in the summer months in Vermont was a maple creemee. We drove from Stowe to Montpelier so we could go to the Dairy Creme and the Morse Farm Maple Sugar Works. First strike against Dairy Creme is they will only give one taste per person. Second strike was that the creemee was not good. I ordered a kiddie size of maple and butterscotch. The consistency was thin. The flavor was weak. I threw it out. I was beginning to think this creemee thing was a hoax until we tried a creemee at the Morse Farm Sugar Works (review to follow). If in the area, I suggest driving right past the Dairy Creme and heading to the Maple Sugar Works.

    Vanilla Creemee with Rainbow Sprinkles and Maple Creemee
    Mandarin Y.

    Their creemees are one of the best that Vermont has to offer and extremely satisfying on a hot day. We ordered their maple and vanilla flavored creemees and they tasted rich, creamy, and not too sweet, which I appreciated. Portion sizes are very generous. We enjoyed the view of the Winooski River as we ate our creemees outside the establishment. We will definitely be back to try other flavors. ***Note: a creemee has a higher fat content than a traditional soft serve ice cream, which is why it's so damn delicious***

I actually drove an hour out of my way just to get this maple creemee -- I had visited a few years ago and had been dreaming about it ever since. Thankfully, it did not disappoint. The maple creemee was incredible -- unbelievably delicious, rich, and perfectly creamy with an authentic maple flavor that completely lives up to the hype. Easily one of the best maple treats you'll find anywhere. The maple syrup tasting was both informative and fun. The staff did a fantastic job explaining the different syrup grades and flavor profiles, and it was fascinating to taste how much they vary. Everything felt fresh, high-quality, and clearly made with care. The grounds themselves are beautiful, especially in winter. With a deep blanket of snow covering the landscape, the farm felt peaceful, scenic, and exactly what you hope for when visiting Vermont in February.

Their maple soft service ice cream (maple creemee) was also really really good! It tasted so light and fresh! I highly recommend Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks - very good ice cream, maple syrup and awesome staff! There is also parking and bathroom on site.

I love that they're socially conscious and really care about social justice and the environment. - They compost.* My pup discovered this after we emerged from a trail next to the back of the bakery. She found all this very scientifically interesting. - They serve in house with reusable metal utensils and plates, which you return to the counter. - They're committed to sourcing organic, sustainably produced flour from a few family-run farms. - Takeout containers (and I feel awful when having to use these at times) are waxed cardboard -- maybe professionally compostable or recyclable, but I suspect not. Still, better than plastic. Eat in if you can. Someday I'll remember to bring my own containers and see if they'll use them. The bread is world class. We've probably tried almost every loaf at this point. They tend towards being traditional styles with robust crusts and a good, slow, cold rise -- breads that take time to make. Our preferences lean towards the sourdoughs, the miche-type loaves, anything with olives, and the potato breads (for those of us with old teeth or missing baby teeth). But everything you could possibly order will be amazing. We loved the beautiful pain d'epi most recently, though the 10 year old (who doesn't have a full set of chompers right now) found it tough to consume without a good dip in Mom's stew at the end of the day. The only version my family cited as more beloved was from Maison Kayser -- yes, a chain, but a very good one where my kiddos literally cut their teeth. Pastries are shockingly good as well, particularly the laminated ones that someone must be getting up at 2 or 3 a.m. to prepare. Chocolate croissants and almond croissants are perfectly layered, generously filled with high quality chocolate (real chocolate, not Nutella!) or almond paste filling that is even good when cold. The "simplest" of pastries (not really at all simple for anyone's whose tried to make these), a plain croissant, will wow a purist. My kiddos love the perfectly frosted maple bun visit after visit. Savory pastries are often filled with beautifully caramelized / browned onions, cheese, and other ingredients depending on the whims of the chefs. Again, I don't think you can go wrong; we certainly never have. There are decent sandwiches and salads on the menu (from the perspective of the spoiled). Nothing is groundbreaking, but they're 200% competent and ingredients are consistently excellent. A recent Harvest Salad, for instance, included fresh and tender butter lettuce, winter squash roasted to tender perfection, nuts and dried fruit in perfect balance. We'd had about 10 different "harvest salads", in the past few weeks in VT at that point, but though this one was more simply designed than many, it was more delicious, given the impeccably fresh, high quality ingredients. We sometimes get here on the earlier side, but never seem able to score a breakfast sandwich, which seems to sell out fast. We like the down-to-earth staff, who smile when they mean it and don't when they don't -- and show fatigue when they need to and ought. I love that the management appears to be humane, opening later than usual when an ice storm makes driving conditions perilous. We recognize some staff members from some years past and we like the continuity a lot. Love the entire picture. All of it. * I just read that all VT households and businesses are required to compost per a state law passed in 2020. Cool! Red Hen seems to have a great sorting system set up, though, with many neat, well maintained bins lined up out back.

    I've been a huge fan of Red Hen for years. If I could live on their baguettes alone, I would.

It's always been busy when I've gone, but wait times aren't very long and the staff is pleasant. Needless to say, I got home and inhaled my turkey on a baguette. The only thing I think is a little bit of a bummer is the lack of more "traditional" topping options. I like my sandwiches with lettuce, tomato, and onion. The cafe does not offer tomatoes and only has pickled onions. Would be nice to have a little more choice when building your own sandwich. That said, I'm still a big fan and would get food from there again in a heartbeat.
