5/5 Stars -- Ohio's Ice Cream Legend…read more By far the best place in Ohio to get fresh, amazing ice cream. I mean, Toft's Dairy has like 50 flavors--seriously, there's something for everyone. You can grab a cone, a cup, or even buy ice cream to take home for the family. And it's not just ice cream--they have milk, specialty drinks, and even fun merch like t-shirts. My personal favorite? Peanut Butter Cup + Peanut Butter Pretzel--absolute perfection. Creamy, nutty, salty, sweet... all the things you want in a summer treat. Sizes? They've got three, but honestly, the small is perfect: enough to satisfy that ice cream craving without going overboard. Medium is basically a full meal, so pace yourself. What makes it extra special for me: we know someone who works there (we met her at Kalahari), and she loves giving suggestions on flavor combos. Her tips always take a cone from great to legendary. And of course, there's the Cedar Point connection--stopping at Toft's after a day on the rides or after a big sporting event is pure nostalgia. Sticky fingers, huge smiles, and ice cream that tastes like summer memories. Bottom line: Toft's Dairy isn't just ice cream--it's a tradition, a memory, and hands-down the best sweet spot in Sandusky. You go once, and you'll be back again and again.

After a great lunch at Jolly Roger I was headed back towards Cleveland and wanted to grab some ice…read morecream; Toft Dairy had popped up in my online feed recently so I figured I would give them a try. I have had Toft's ice cream a couple of times before, but the scoop shop experience can always be different. This location is actually there headquarters, factory and the scoop shop. The building has a covered patio out front, there are some cow statues and an original dairy cart out front. Inside they have a large service area with a huge amount of flavors, plus coolers with packed ice cream and ice cream pies. I ordered a medium sized cup with Banana Foster and Caveman Chocolate ice creams. The cup was $7.50 which seemed a bit expensive until I saw the portion size, this was really about 4 scoops of ice cream. The ice cream is nice and smooth with a nice texture and mouthfeel. The banana foster ice cream was slightly sweet and had a mild banana flavor I did not taste the advertised burnt sugar swirl. The Caveman Chocolate was very good with a rich dark chocolate ice cream and a nice amount of chocolate truffles, although again I did not taste the thick fudge swirls. Toft's has some very good ice cream, the scoop shop lacks some of the charm of other ice cream places, not too surprising since it is part of the factory. The ice cream is a bit expensive, but the portions are big. Probably the most flavor choices I have seen at an ice cream place.

Also super cheap compared to anything in cedar point or sf. The froyo was amazing too! And where you get your toppings from was so clean.

Since I love everything fruity, I got the lemon blueberry cheesecake flavor in the kids size, which was the perfect treat! They also offer sundaes, shakes, and malts if you're in the mood for something more decadent. The only thing I disliked was the wait, but the retro vibes and yummy ice cream made it well worth it! I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun dairy shed on a hot summer day!

My trusty Yelp app came in good once again by finding dessert places and we decided to try out Joe Sundae's. While a little bit off the beaten path from Cedar Point traffic or even the downtown section of Sandusky, Joe Sundae's is an affordable little restaurant that the locals go to. They have a decent selection of locally produced Toft's ice cream, in which you can order a few different scoops of ice cream, make into sundaes or however you like it. They also have a selection of other drinks and food, but an old ice cream parlor seems to be their bread and butter. Service was prompt and friendly as well.
