We love the ice cream and huge selection! Unfortunately they always seem super inconvenienced to have us come give them our money. I'd rather go someplace that appreciates our business. read more

Staff was nice. Cute little inside but nowhere to sit. There is some outside seating. I got coffee Oreo, ice cream with chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. It was very good. read more

Outstanding every time we go. But the changing of flavors makes it even better. Just had Christmas sugar cookie and it was life changing. Always friendly people working, very helpful and patient when my nine year old asks for samples. I've had their cakes and they have been great. And we love the cookie ice cream sandwiches for a take home treat. read more

Amazing all-around! A bright, friendly, welcoming shop with an assortment of unique flavors that will make you want to literally try them all. Highlights for me: * The family team that owns and operates this store is amazing and constantly creating new and unique flavors to add to the rotation - all homemade IN STORE. * I recently received a birthday cake made by Diane and it was super delicious, extremely colorful, and the design was custom-inspired for which Diane totally delivered! * Go there on a summer evening or during one of their really cool Saturday car shows and you'll see how popular the store is and for good reason. Easily the best ice cream I've enjoyed. I have to wonder about some of these negative reviews - did they even actually visit Diane's Dairy? Do they even LIKE ice cream!? Focus on the glowing reviews here, on Google, and everywhere else. Diane's Dairy is the real deal and it's a community staple for a reason! And their Social Media accounts are hilarious and highlight all of the incredible cake designs!! read more

Omg! This place is a hidden gem- I love the Mint Chip Ice Cream. I'm going to come back and try a few other flavors since it is very rare to find an Ice Cream store that actually makes the Ice Cream themselves as in "Home Made" The negative reviews made me laugh since it is obvious that those customers don't know anything about Ice Cream. I'm going to put this on my Top 5 Ice Cream list in New Jersey and will be back to enjoy more of this good stuff... read more

Ice cream was super delicious. Incredible, inventive flavors and old favorites. Spoke with Diane for a bit since it was just us, she's lovely and clearly has a ton of pride in her shop (which she should). My husband offhandedly mentioned he loved rocky road and she took it out of the freezer for him (as she rotates flavors). Ingredients are also clearly marked for GF/egg/nut allergies as well. Great place will definitely go back. read more

We've been here 2 times, the first time was last June when they had a soft opening, we thought the ice cream was good but not as good as other more established homemade ice cream places such as Lake Hiawatha dairy and Denville dairy so we have not gone back. It's probably because we had to pick boring flavors because we were sharing with the toddler. It's my wife's birthday and we wanted to give this place another try. We got an ice cream cake this time. The thing with ice cream cake, unless you special order, they come in generic vanilla and chocolate flavors. To my surprise, this cake is much better than most other places we have tried. If I am not mistaken, I think their ice cream cake was made from soft serve. The chocolate is much richer than most ice cream cake I've tried. The service was also excellent both times. They offer to write something on the cake and they did an excellent job. The decor is nice and cute. Will probably go back to try other flavors in the summer. read more

One of the best ice cream places around! We drive from Caldwell just for it and they are not crazy expensive like other places. Not to mention they have flavors you don't see anywhere else! If you see a normal flavor like smores it will be the best you had. Thanks Diane! Keep up the great work! read more

Homemade in house ice cream! Woman owned! Gourmet flavors like lavender coconut dulce and Nutella cheesecake! YAASS! read more

I found this ice cream shop on Instagram and knew I had to check it out. The owner was so nice and friendly. I ordered the chocolate/vanilla soft serve with added Oreos and it did not disappoint! I also had the alfajores and strawberry ice cream which were just as good. My favorite one was alfajores on a waffle cone. It was absolutely delicious that I didn't even get a chance to take a pic . Check out Diane's Dairy!! read more

Best ice cream shop. Amazing selection of flavors. My favorite go to. Cakes, sundaes, you name it. You have to try it even if you're just passing by. read more

Diane's Dairy has the creamiest ice cream. She has great flavored hard ice cream but this soft serve cup was the best I ever had, everyone at my Super Bowl party wanted to know where I bought them. Diane is a doll, her work on custom cakes etc. look and tastes amazing. I'll be buying more of these cups for future parties or just for me;) read more

Diane’s Dairy - So I ordered some ice cream cups for the Super Bowl, simple chocolate and vanilla. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Towaco, New Jersey

Creamy rich homemade ice cream. So many flavors to choose from! Cute location with outside seating and plenty of parking. Nice staff and lots of yummy packaged ice cream treats to take home. I had a scoop of Island coconut and a scoop of Lemon Custard Crumble in a Crispy Waffle Cone...HEAVENLY! Hubby had a scoop of Dirty Dog and a scoop of Diane's Toy Box (I think, lol) and he loved it. Evening treat was a hit and we will definitely will be visiting again. read more

Excellent Ice cream! Always fresh and very creative with the flavors. Some of the best in north Jersey!

My daughter and I live in town and go here a lot. I'd love to recommend a flavor- but the problem is: I like too many of them lol! One time I had a sampling of different flavors that I took home and basically couldn't get enough because they were all so good. Last fall, I especially loved the apple pie flavor. My daughter loves their different oreo variations. The selections are really special. I love it even more because its homemade - and you can really tell the difference. I've also purchased ice cream cakes for my daughter here for the past 2 years - you can pick any flavor ice cream you want for that, instead of the standard vanilla/chocolate!!! And I really love the special designs Diane creates as the cake decorations. Actually, she also did my birthday cake last year and customized it so nicely. One more tip if you're new to Diane's - be sure to check out the fridges in the front for different take home treats which all have really adorable designs. During all different holidays, these are themed and we really enjoy them. read more

It is really, really nice to have an ice cream place in the neighborhood. And it is good ice cream. I especially like the cookie ice cream sandwiches. Service is not the friendliest which is kind of what I expect at a local ice cream place. I find this especially if I go in during the day to pick up things to bring home. Minor point but enough that it stuck with me. read more

Got to go to their "soft" opening tonight. Holy cow, the other shops around here are in trouble! Best homemade ice cream (strawberry fields with real strawberries!) in the area, so many unique and exciting flavors too. For ice cream that reminds me of gelato I had in Italy, the prices are also very reasonable. Can't wait until the grand opening in July! read more

Ice cream was good but the service was not. We went in about ten minutes before closing and were out before they even closed but it was very obvious the workers were annoyed and definitely not friendly at all. It also looked like the owners were there too and we got the same vibe. Sad because the ice cream was good but we will not be returning read more

The dairy is the go to spot for my son and I. They have so many flavors and so accommodating in so many ways (flavors, size of servings, concerns/knowledge of allergies, samples). They are always willing to go above and beyond especially Diane herself... on more than one occasion she personally helped us and all the girls who work the counter are great! I ordered a custom ice cream cake for my sons birthday that exceeded expectations (will order again this year) 10/10 would recommend ... the dole soft serve is my personal fav while my son always loves a vanilla chocolate soft serve swirl with rainbow sprinkles. Second favorite for me is pumpkin patch read more

Wonderful ice cream worth the trip! My brother's 2nd trip; my 1st. Lots of flavors and tastes are offered. Shop is pristinely clean and the server was very helpful and friendly. Two picnic tables right outside the door are available for sitting and enjoying frozen treats. read more

Great ice cream! Great service when you get anyone other Diane. Diane can be colder than her ice cream unfortunately. I complimented her and how much I see her on Montville Moms Facebook group but she wouldn't engage or interact with my daughter and I. She kept a cold face and just answered with single word responses. I will come back with my kids again, but this was not the first time we had a bad experience with her service. I thought the other times were just a bad time to catch her. Hopefully she can appreciate her customers with better interactions. read more

We stopped at Diane's Dairy and we were greeted by excellent staff members. The ice cream was all delicious and so creamy; definitely a must try if you are in the area! read more

This is a fantastic place for cold desserts - and the folks who work here are gregarious, patient, and put the customer first. I've lived in the Montville area for nearly 35 years. I'm so happy Diane's Dairy is here. It's great to have Diane's Dairy in the neighborhood. I get the feeling it's the kind of place where you can go for a delicious treat and a warm feeling of customer service and friendliness. I tried the Mintville flavor (delectable + clever in terms of naming) and my wife enjoyed the cookie dough with whipped cream and peanut butter cups. And to think, this was only the "soft" opening - we'll 100% be back for the Grand Opening, if not sooner. Welcome, Diane's Dairy, and thank you. Wishing you the best. read more

Amazing place. Stumbled upon this place while coming back from a sporting event. Worth making a trip if you are even close. Everything is done in house. Owner is great. read more

A true dairy delight. Came here on a Saturday in the summer to a lot full of classic cars and some great old tunes. Go look at the homemade ice cream and try not to be impressed; you'll be trying some! Fair prices and a nice place to eat outside. We went to Locanda Vecchia for dinner and stumbled upon Diane's (I hear the Red Barn Restaurant a few doors down is also great). A real treat. read more

Very disappointed in Diane's attitude. I've been in here multiple times and every time she is not very friendly. My daughter is apart of the montville library summer ready program and she got a coupon for a free kiddie ice cream if you buy a medium ice cream. I customer ordered 2 cakes for a total of $76 and when I went to pay for them (with my daughter) I asked if I could use the coupon and get a free kiddie cup. The girl working the register went to ask Diane and she said no. I asked to speak to Diane. When she came out I told her I'm spending over $76 and you can't honor the coupon for the free kiddie cup?! She thought about it for a second and unhappily told the girl "give it to her" and she honored it. I'm very thankful she did but she acts like she is doing ME a favor by giving her business. She does have delicious ice cream but so do many other places and I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

One of the best ice cream shops i've been to. My new favorite is their Oreo Coffee flavor. The staff is awesome and customer service is excellent! read more

Diane's Dairy has the best ice cream! I can never get ice cream anywhere else now. Not only does she have so many amazing flavors to choose from, but she also has amazing customer service. Diane is so sweet to all who come in, and she has always been so helpful. I love every single one of her flavors that I've tried, and it's incredible that all of them are homemade. Diane and her ice cream are truly number 1!!! read more

This ice cream is to die for! Everything is homemade with pride and passion. The flavors are delicious and very unique, always something different to choose from. The ice cream cakes are so creative, but also taste amazing. Diane and her staff are very friendly and helpful in suggesting what to order, a very hard decision :) read more

Went there on Friday and the Ice cream continues to be as good as you are going to find. it's funny, a couple of friends from town were there and they both said that Diane's was tops on their New Jersey list as well. We agreed it really comes down to the passion behind the homemade flavor. Never too sweet or over the top but when you have real homemade blueberry or apple pie being added ; the results speak for themselves and it's worth skipping the restaurant dessert to come here. Now I hesitate to post this cause I don't want bigger lines !! read more

Just took my family to Diane's dairy. Really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. And the ice cream was home made and top notch. Will definitely return. read more

Right next to our favorite Chinese take out. I had the dole whip pineapple which was great. Good service with ok prices. Would recommend the dole whip what're flavor they are serving at the time. read more

I have been here now about 4 or 5 times and it has only been open for a few weeks. I'm in trouble! So many excellent flavors; I am hooked. Great local business with the best ice cream I've had in a long time. The Island Coconut and the 'Smores are heavenly. Please support this business! They deserve it and I'd Iike to see them around for a long time. :) read more
