So happy that Dover Dairy is open for the season! I opted for the classic Oreo Flurry while hubby got his traditional cookie dough flurry. What I love about their flurries, (besides the best soft serve vanilla anywhere) is that they blend your flavor choices very well so there's toppings all throughout, then top it off with ice cream and more toppings. Of course they have awesome homemade hard ice cream flavors, cakes, slushies, novelties and more. Be aware that they are a cash only establishment, so grab $$ before you head over. There is plenty of parking behind the store. In case you are hungry, the Dover Grill next door is also open. They have awesome burgers, fries and amazing comfort food. The owners have been there forever and their ice cream is the best in Morris County. They train the most professional servers who scoop with a smile. The lines may get long at times, but people are super patient because the reward is worth it. Stop in for a bit of joy, you deserve it! read more

I recommend their rum raisin hard ice cream! The raisins taste like they were soaked in the rum for a good amount of time before going to the ice cream. I ordered three scoops, and each scoop was quite small. Besides rum raisin, I also ordered butter pecan and orange sherbet. They made good ice creams, and they have been in business for almost 50 years. They must do something right ;) read more

Best ice cream in Morris County by far. Always willing to accommodate very very clean. Just a terrific spot.

Finally came back here for some delicious snacks earlier in the week. Food: unpictured is the oreo Cookie Monster styled ice cream that my wife loves, but I only learned that they do a creamsicle ice cream (a mix of vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet) and I am in love. It is such a unique flavor mix that I didn't know I needed and I also learned later that it is possible down the shore, but I don't have to go that far for it! Aesthetic: standard ice cream parlor, I like the location albeit the parking is a little tough if the lot is busy. Service: great, hard working servers, can't imagine how busy they get! Also bonus photo of my little creamsicle Milo in the background. read more

My husband and I drove to this place because they were selling pumpkin soft-serve ice cream. I love trying seasonal desserts. I haven't visited this ice cream shop in so many years. It hasn't changed a bit. They still have minimal parking spaces which are located in the front of the store. You can also park on the street and walk over. As I walked through the door, I saw a sign that said "Cash only, thank you"; I was so glad I had cash on me. I went in and waited to be served. I bought a pint of pumpkin soft-serve ice cream for about $6, which was reasonable. It was a cute little ice cream shop in the middle of Dover and like I said nothing has changed. My family and I enjoyed the ice cream. It tasted just like pumpkin pie. Yum!! You have to try it while it is available. I'm looking forward to trying other flavors next time I'm in the area. read more

It's delicious. The cream and the sugar come through equally strong. They'll let you sample the flavors, too - just ask. Like Denville Dairy, this place is so analog that I kind of love it. No ordering ahead, no apps or rewards programs. Just you and yours waiting in anticipation in line, inching towards the front of a crowded store and poring over the menu. I'm sad when they close for the season and thrilled when they open again. I have no idea why different prices for the same thing are listed over all the menus. Make sure you clarify the pricing before you buy if that's a concern of yours. read more

Wow! I found another Homemade Ice cream store! Amazing, Salted caramel was magnificent. I was told they are known for their Rum Raisin and I had to try it - it was good. This place is worth the visit if you ever are on the Dover area... Again, it's important to try Homemade ice cream because you never know if they will still exist in the future.... read more

How can you not love an old fashioned ice cream shop that's been around for about 50 years? The last time I was at Dover Dairy Maid was over 10 years ago, but it's still as good as I remembered. The ice cream is delicious and we're supporting a local business. Parking is easy with a lot across the street. You wait on a line inside, but it moved quick on a hot Friday night. Prices very reasonable. Stop in here and treat yourself! read more

Came out of my way because I heard good things To find out... cash only. In this world who on earth doesn't accept card. If you have to put a minimum on it, fine. But to not even offer is insane read more

Here's the deal: It's a small , cramped place with challenging parking. The reason is because THE ICE CREAM IS DELICIOUS !! The lines move quickly so have some patience! The only thing I wish they would change is having a dedicated line for people who want to buy some "packaged ice cream" instead of waiting online with everyone else. It's CASH ONLY.... read more

Top 5 places to get homemade ice creams in Morris County. I got the Oreo hard ice cream and Dulce de leche in a cup. The ice cream was as soft as butter. The texture so rich and creamy. At one point I thought I was eating soft serve it was SOOOO good. Highly recommend!! read more

Ice cream is so fresh! I'm from out of town and came with family. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The servings are generous. I got a small and it was more than enough. We came right before closing and they didn't try to rush us at all. Everyone in my group loved everything they ordered. I definitely would recommend. read more

One of my favorite places in Dover hands down. Dairy Maid is a landmark treasure in this town and for good reason, in business for 42 years and serving as a seasonal reminder that Summertime is here and the Good Times are too. Probably the Best Ice Cream Store around for miles serving amazingly delicious flavors of treats for kids of all ages. Cones, Cups, Sundaes, and Banana Splits for instant gratification plus a wide variety of Ice Cream Cakes are also available. This is a cash only establishment and you will find no indoor seating here, although a few outside chairs and benches that are also shared with the Dover Grill. This is Really Great Ice Cream so Come and Get your Munch on!! read more

Review based on this experience. Homespun milkshake with ice cream was thin and mostly milk. Counter person was nice, but not properly trained in how to make one. If in a rush, could have easily walked out with a large cup of milk with 2 small scoops of ice cream minimally blended for $8.50. Was somewhat improved after the manager re-made. However, not thick like one would expect for an ice cream based shake. Would come again for ice cream but not shakes. read more

Great ice cream they just opened up today the line was really long so we decided to eat the food right next door @ the Dover grill the food was amazing loved it. Will be coming back here soon. read more

We stopped at @DoverDairyMaid after dinner tonight because we really haven't fulfilled our ice cream quota for 2022. Jackie got a sugar cone with Peanut Butter Fudge and I got the Blueberry Cheesecake. @jackie_and_steve1986 #doverdairymaid #icecream #icecreamtime read more

Dover Dairy Maid - Coffee ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

Hands down best ice cream cakes in the area. Always delicious and fresh! I love their regular ice cream too. Friendly and reasonable prices too. read more

Could be the best ice cream I've ever had. Nice "small" sized cup of Blueberry Cheesecake. I'm so used to the quality of things being dialed down to cut costs but the ice cream was so good and the place was clean and it was a good sized scoop at a reasonable price. (Just a little odd that mine came to $5.01 and I got $.99 cents back in change.) Maybe a " leave a penny, take a penny" dish would be a good idea, for everyone who orders, a small cup of ice cream and needs a penny. read more

Eh, I hate to leave this place and not give it a 4-5 stars, it has a mom and pop feel which is awesome and hard to find in NJ. I just don't think Dover Dairy Maid was all it was cracked up to be read more

Love this place! The ice cream is really delicious and the service is great. Its the perfect place to get something sweet if you're feeling like it! read more

Dover Dairy Maid - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

We drove by and saw a big line out the door. We decided to stand and wait as well. They have the social distancing markers outside on the ground which is great BUT once inside, it's a free for all!!! The girls at counter signal you to come in then you stand shoulder to shoulder next to strangers!!!! They need a better system when alowing people inside! That is where social distancing is most important! The chocolate ice cream was only okay, not worth the stress and hassle; would not go back..x read more

Best ice cream in the area, hands down. Always a flavor for someone and it's just such great quality. I truly think this is the best ice cream in all of northern NJ! read more

was skeptical about coming here as it is a small shop on the side of a highway, but this turned out to be one of the best icecream places in the area. The best part is their unique soft serve flavors. some soft serve flavors include coconut, mango, and peanut butter. definitely a must have if you are in the area. read more

Dover Dairy Maid - mango soft serve - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

This place is pretty good. I'm a Dairy Queen person but the dairy maid is closer to home and a solid alternative. They make good flurries when it's not too busy (they take a while to make here so when it's super busy I get something else). Really like their packaged good selection, I like being able to bring honest to goodness ice cream shop treats home, that's one thing that's unique to this place compared to DQ and I almost always grab something to bring home and put in the freezer when we go. read more

You don't find places often that have soft serve flavors besides chocolate and vanilla ... but this place does! An array of soft serve flavors as well as a good list of hard ice cream flavors as well. The take out freezer had the cutest small cones with dip and shots! We got a twist of coconut and mango soft serve and I have to say it was the best! You must stop by and try them out ... parking was an issue ... but worth it. And bring cash because they don't take plastic. read more

Dover Dairy Maid - Mango coconut soft serve twist. Yum!!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

I tried ordering a cake for my daughters birthday and this "middle aged man" answered. He started to fight with me and continuously argue with me. He hanged up after and HE WAS ARGUING OVER MY NAME! I didnt want to tell him my name and he just god mad about it. Worst customer service ever. read more

GREAT VALUE FOR THE PRICE. A small-sized hard ice cream gets you two big scoops! That on cone plus a soft serve small were just shy of $8. CASH ONLY. Chocolate lovers, the double chocolate fudge crunch is for you. And the "crunch" means crunchies--like the ones in the middle of ice cream cakes. Yes, texture eaters, this one's for you, too. Mango lovers, how often do you see mango ice cream? It's soft serve and captures both the sweet and sour of a good mango. Hiiighly recommend. Other soft serve flavors: black raspberry, strawberry, chocolate, vanilla No seating inside, but there are plenty of benches and tables outside. No parking lot; only street parking which can get packed. read more

best ice cream around, cash only but prices are fair and servings are good. it gets busy but the line moves quick.

Found this place while drining around for some fresh air. I am so happy i stumbbled across it. The ice-cream was amazing. Will def find my way back here again! read more

I was craving ice cream and decided to try Dover Dairy Maid. I was pleased with my choice. I ordered the blueberry cheesecake ice cream on a cone. Beware that this place can get crowded on a week day evening. I'm guessing, it's because of the summer season. It was a small wait time before I ordered. When I ordered I felt extremely rushed. In fairness, I do think the employees were trying to help the customers as fast as they could to minimize the line. The freezers were filled with packaged homemade ice cream of all varieties. I like that there were many varieties to choose from. I would come back here again. read more

I live in the neighborhood and have purchased milkshakes for years (love 'em too). But we finally decided to try an ice cream cake. Ordered Saturday morning and picked up Sunday 11:20. It was for my adult son's birthday and we enjoyed the cake very much. Great ice cream. Decoration was simple and tasteful. We will try to invent a reason to order another soon. read more
