Stopped here for a cold treat after a long day of tournaments. Got here right before the rush hit. When you walk to the front door, there's a sign that directs you to enter from the left side of the building. The front doors are where you exit from. Upon entering, there's an unusual smell. It's not the ice cream or a sweet smell, kinda of an irritating chemical smell. Not sure if that's common here but it was distinct. This place does have over a dozen or so flavors as one time. Toppings are available and cost extra. Portions are not consistent. The small dish of ice cream was packed to the brim of the dish while the large ice cream dish showed each small scoop that was put in it. The patrons behind me ordered small dishes of ice cream too and those portions I would have considered to be a large. Even they questioned it being a small. There is some seating inside but it gets cluster very fast since there's a line of people standing in line to order. We took our ice cream back to our hotel since it was a short drive down the road. Staff was not friendly. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was the convenience of there being ice cream near the hotel and both my husband and son liked it. This place sells ice cream, milk, cheeses and ice cream cakes. read more

Best source for quality fresh milk products. A real treat to get milk in recycled glass bottles. Their locally made ice cream is top quality and its ice cream counter and tables is a strong draw for local families. Old-fashioned dairy outlet, right next to farm, is tough to beat, including energetic youthful servers. read more

Love the lavender chip ice cream! Great friendly home town atmosphere! Highly recommend!

The ice cream was great as always but WOW the group of girls working today were full of attitude and terribly rude. Yikes. My husband and I were appalled. We'll come back for the ice cream service was a complete joke. read more

Stopped in today on our way through town and so happy we did! We were coming from Penn's Caves and headed to Pittsburgh so it was a little off the beaten path but such a nice way to cool off on a hot summer day. The benches outside under the trees were a big plus as well! Lots of flavor options and the inside of the store also has other staples like bread, milk and eggs. Ice cream was very flavorful and I appreciated that there were lots of pieces ad also that they were small pieces which in my opinion makes it feel like there's even more of the flavors/toppings. (Worst thing in the world is getting Oreo ice cream with 1 single large Oreo and everything else is just vanilla). Service was pretty quick too. Only complaint is that the ice cream was really melty from the get-go and when the person handed mine over the entire outside of the bowl was sticky with ice cream from her glove. Small prices to pay though for sure. read more

Ultra velvety & super smooth ice cream!! The birthday cake was absolutely phenomenal. Not overly sweet and spot on for birthday cake. The mint flake was super smooth and just the right amount of mint. Price is very reasonable and portions are a good size. The store has lots of odds & ends in it. From fresh milk to homemade pasta & jams. Definitely a good stop on your way through State College. read more

What a cute little dairy/ice cream store! They have so many flavors of ice cream so there's something for everyone. My husband was in love with the lemon custard--he said it's the best ice cream he's had in a long time. I had the peanut butter oreo ice cream and it was good! My kids had the mint chocolate chip and the vanilla, both delicious as well. They also sell milk, cheese, and other food items. I love these kind of stores and try to find them whenever I'm traveling. Definitely a must-try! read more

I am a sucker for family/ locally owned businesses. I was in the area this weekend and heard of this place. Of course I had to stop and take a look at their products. I arrived around 10:00am on a Sunday and it was not busy, but there was a steady stream of costumers. I ended up buying their chocolate milk, three different kinds of cheese, and a coffee drink. The chocolate milk is so creamy and thick. It comes in a glass bottle which can returned at a later date. If you return the bottles, you can save money on your next milk purchase. The three cheeses, sharp American, raw hot pepper, and longhorn cheese, are flavorful and just what I expected. The raw hot pepper is super spicy to me, but may be just right for others. The sharp American cheese is excellent. I wish I purchased a larger block. This place is cute and welcoming. There is also heavy cream, buttermilk, honey, eggs, and so much more available. If it was not 10:00am, I would have definitely ordered some ice cream because I hard it is amazing. If I am ever in the area again, I will be stopping back! read more

This place has been here since I was little and now I'm in my 30s and still stop here when I can. Very happy to support a local business

I am from State College and have been eating ice cream at Meyer Dairy all my life. My favorite flavor is Chocolate Peanut Butter. It is just fantastic!!! I do not care for dark/stronger chocolate, so for me, theirs is perfect!!! Their milk is delicious, too, espcially chocolate, & even the skim!!! It is the freshest anywhere!!! There are so many great things about the store/restaurant that beckon customers to return!!! The picnic tables outside & the cows out back, the lovely countryside, the antique milk wagon, lunch, grocery items, cheeses, delicious eggnog during holidays, and the wonderful Meyer family!!! For me, it is just so relaxing to go there. Love it!!!! read more

Had a mocha chip sundae with hot fudge and whip cream while my boyfriend had a small chocolate chip brownie dough. The server behind the counter was very generous with her scoops, so we definitely got our money's worth (both of our orders together were $7 total). Really delicious ice cream - honestly loved it, and as a Chicago-land native I'll be thinking about this place! read more

Super creamy and delicious. My so. Had chocolate marshmallow and I had chocolate chip brownie dough (amazing) and mocha chip.

I had stopped In here time and again since the 1980s . Never recall having any problem till today. Went in for some milk and a sundae. A group of 4 people were get waited on with their picks of ice cream treats . 4 younger folks (kids) were working behind the counter. 3 of which were assisting the group in front of me. The fourth looked like she was making something for someone else where as she walked away with it. I was then given a milkshake by one of the girls waiting on the group in front of me, which wasn't mine because I hadn't even ordered yet! She had no idea where it went to. Then the group in front got what they wanted and walked away after paying. I stood there still waiting to be assisted. No one did. I stood there while one girl went and got a milkshake for herself, the one boy walked right by me and no one else was to be seen! So I waited a couple more minutes as there was no one there but the girl sitting down eating her milk shake. Once the boy came back and went by me a second time u spoke up asking for someone to wait on me . I sounded like a dad or boss having to tell them how to do their job. I'd call this the ice cream of the clueless. . Good sundae however. read more

I grew up in SC but now I live in Philadelphia. When I come back in town there are three places I always try to hit, one of those places is MD. I'm a huge fan of their cookies and cream, however any flaovr you get will be smooth and creamy. One of the things I love the most about this place is that the portion sizes are great! The small is enough to fill you, and the large is enough to satisfy ice cream lovers like me. :-) Aside from the ice cream I enjoy the old school feel of this place. Next time you're in town stop in and check it out! read more

Delicious dairy store. Ice cream is the first counter you see when you walk in. About a dozen flavors made with fresh Pennsylvania milk. We ordered the lemon curd, chocolate chip brownie, maple walnut, butter pecan and white house. All the flavors were delicious! My favorite was the white house- it had cherries with vanilla ice cream. And the medium was two scoops the size of softballs. If you desire milk for your homemade yogurt or ice cream, you can buy a gallon of it on the counter to your right (as you walk in). Bring your glass bottle for returns and get a discount on your gallon. If you want a sit down meal, there is a small dining area to your left. Great ice cream, great price! read more

My wife and I always like to stop at Meyer's Dairy as our last stop as we leave State College. We enjoy the delicious ice cream and typically order a large milkshake to enjoy in the way back to Harrisburg. Price is about average and service is good. read more

I am an ice cream addict. I love buying ice cream up north because they are not afraid I may don my bathing suit anytime soon--that's the only reason I can come up with as to why in the HOT south, I get a skimpy scoop. Back to the product--we went there after a Penn St. game (WE ARE...) There was a line out the door but it moved quickly. The only hold up was the family of 5 that felt they needed to try every flavor. My husband ordered his peanut butter something, my sister in love ordered chocolate, and I ordered the mocha. The ice cream was fresh and delicious. I would have taken a picture, but I was too intent on eating. If you like fresh dairy farms, you can pick up fresh milk and eggs. I wish I lived up north. (not really...) read more

We had a better visit this time than last time. The place was almost deserted so we walked in and placed our orders. I got one scoop of strawberry and one of chocolate almond. The serving was huge but I managed to eat it all. The flavors were very good. We all enjoyed what we had and we plan to return. read more

Really good grape nuts ice cream. I haven't found this flavor elsewhere. Chocolate tasted sour though and I did not like.

On farm store that sells milk and ice cream. They also sometimes have amazing food trucks set up in the parking lot.

I asked how many flavors for a large. The girl at the counter told me two. I ordered with the two flavors. She charged me for two larges even though I ordered one. She then "fixed it" by giving me half of the ice cream that was originally in one large. I was not thrilled. The almond joy was melted and gloppy. I wasn't thrilled with this experience at all and was treated like I was cattle in a line while ordering without politeness, courtesy, or friendliness. I find no reason to return. Save yourself the trouble and go to Berkey Creamery. read more

Literally the worst service I've had in a decade. They complained with rolled eyes and sighs WHILE we were ordering. I told them I'd be happy to order somewhere else and the guy exclaimed, "no, we'll handle it". Gee, I'd hate to put you out by ordering off the menu at your restaurant.... They completely botched the order, (imagine that!~) Nobody in my group raved about the ice cream. I never got to eat anything...at all... No way this dump is worth any of the trouble. **Update So I tried to order 2 scoops of different flavors ...they said "yeah, that's not really a thing". Un-f-ing-believable. read more

Meyer Dairy, family owned business, and home-milked dairy foods, is worth stopping by even if you have nothing to buy. You can count on a friendly welcome and (of course) top-notch milk, ice-cream and other dairy products. How many dairies have you ever visited whose happy cows you can see spread out on the rolling hills out back, grazing on the lush grass beneath the very blue sky above? (OK, it s being Central Pa, you can't actually count on the sky always being blue but at least, it FEELS blue because of the unique atmosphere of this homey industry.) Need I add, their milk comes in logo embossed glass bottles which you return for refills! A token of the way the world used to be. read more

Slow service, the best mint chocolate chip Ice cream anywhere-fresh and clean taste! Grapenuts cereal is amazing. The line is an issue, because you are supposed to get in line from the far left side of the building for ice cream cones, but people still enter at the center and manage to squirrel their way into the line. That's really frustrating for those of us who follow directions. They really need to use a cord or be more active about telling people where to be in line for ice cream cones. No idea what they are building in the parking lot, otherwise it is exactly the same as it was when I came here as a child. The best part about the ice cream is a fresh clean taste, no preservatives or junk. I do miss them having grill items like their amazing hotdogs with chili. read more

My first time visiting Meyer Dairy Store did not disappoint. Great location to grab some ice cream and relax on a warm summer night. Outdoor seating is spacious and plentiful. Ice cream flavors had plenty of variety, along with milkshakes and other dairy deserts on the menu. I had the black raspberry flavor and I highly recommend to anyone who is unsure of what to order! If you find yourself in the area, it would be a great idea to visit this location! read more

This is a must hit when I am traveling anywhere near State College. We are always sure to bring out yeti cooler and some ice to take home some delicious Meyer Dairy Milk. I always went here as a kid and the ice-cream was great but never really changed in flavors, until the past time I was here. They had all the originals with a couple new ones. I can't remember them all but I tried the blueberry and it was fantastic. Good work Meyer Dairy! Keep'em coming. read more

very good, fresh ice cream. Decided to go here instead of the penn state creamery and wasn't disappointed. I got the coconut chip, my dad got black raspberry, my grandpa got chocolate milkshake, and my grandma got butter pecan. They have been going here for forty years and love it. It was cool to go to a place where my dad went as a kid. The ice cream is made fresh on the farm which I love. So glad we stopped here! read more

Had not been to Meyer Dairy in 3-4 years. Since then the quality of the milkshakes has changed & not in a good way. The mocha chip milkshakes were more milk than ice cream & it didn't taste like mocha chip at all. Very disappointing! It was an expensive glass of milk. read more

An excerpt from my book going LOCAL! When brothers Don and Joe Meyer decided to open a dairy store along Route 322, I am sure they had no idea what an icon they were creating. But, I can guarantee that the two dairy farmers were hoping to at least supplement their meager living off the land. Don and Joe are from an era when hard work, honesty, quality, value, good service and customer satisfaction were the foundations on which every business was built and how they went about their daily routine when they first opened Meyer Dairy in 1970. Sadly though, Don was killed in a plane crash in 1982, but Joe, now 84 years old, is still at the dairy store every day. The store is perched on a hill overlooking State College and is a Mecca for connoisseurs of milk, ice cream and other dairy items. The milk at Meyers it's so fresh and is sold in cool retro-looking half-gallon glass bottles. When you buy it you pay a one-time deposit on the bottle and when the bottle is empty, you bring it back and exchange it for a clean, fresh and full one - recycling in its truest form! Then there's the ice cream. Don and Joe were making handmade ice cream and selling it to a cult following before Ben and Jerry were in underpants. Meyer Dairy ice cream rocks! It's creamy, tasty and the masses agree. If you don't believe me, stop by the store on any summer evening. If you can even get in the parking lot, you will immediately be daunted by the line of customers which is always out the door. So from milk to eggs, butter to bread, ice cream to chili dogs (yes chili dogs), Meyer Dairy has it all and does it right. When you go, and I know you will, you might see Joe hovering around or even working the cash register. In any event, give him a smile and say Hi and keep in mind that he represents the quintessential era of customer service, satisfaction, and the pure essence of going local. Enjoy! read more

I would DEFINITELY recommend this shop. The ice cream is spectacular. The sundae with Carmel ice cream was good. The only problem - they were out of 10 of the 25 flavors. It was a shame I couldn't try butter crunch but it's ok. If ever back here I am coming back! read more

This was one of my favorite spots as a kid, but due to proximity, my visits are now very infrequent. Nonetheless, every time I return for a Meyer's Dairy treat, I'm left tingling with giddy satisfaction. If you could put happiness on a cone, this would be it. You just can't find ice cream like this in the big bad city where I now reside - only the country could produce this incredible flavor. The chocolate marshmallow (usually gross from other dairies) is AMAZING. My second favorite is mint chocolate chip, and a close third is Oreo cookie. read more

Milk. From local cows. Served in glass bottles. Exquisite. The chocolate milk is highly recommended.

Go here weekly for fresh milk, OJ, and other items all in glass!!! . Very friendly and it is nice you that they take credit card now. If you get more than two glass jars it is worth buying a carrying case abs pouring lid (you can buy behind the counter). Ice cream is good too. read more
