    As I was heading out of town to return back to the real world, I needed one more vacation treat and as a huge ice cream fan, I knew Shoofly Dairy Bar would be my last stop and it was completely worth it. I was a bit overwhelmed with all of the options (and some of those shaved ice/ice cream combinations were...interesting), but I went with my good ol' standby: a cookies and cream milkshake. And I was reminded why that's my favorite: the creamy vanilla blends with chunks of chocolate cookie and little bits of sweet icing and the one from Shoofly Dairy Bar was the perfect blend of all of those and especially rewarding on my drive home. Service was quick, everything was reasonably priced, and although I took my milkshake to go, I loved the old school setting and could see others enjoying the outside seating in the unseasonably warm sun. Highly recommended!

    1/2 Slice Pie with Ice Cream (shoo fly pie)

    Woo-Whee!! While doing a day trip up to Williamsburg, we were all about hitting up the dessert places. This is a walk up & order establishment with picnic tables & umbrellas for seating to the right of their building with some lawn games. They have an extensive number of snoball flavors. That is an understatement, just look at the list in the pic I took. I was overwhelmed with all the options. Since we were actually meeting up with friends for dinner & ummm well snoballs as well in the very near future (15 minutes to be exact) , I opted to save the snoballs for later that evening. I went with the nitro cold brew milkshake. GOOODNESSS GRACIOUS!! That is some creamy deliciousness in a cup! While I've only had shoofly pie once in my life (in Lancaster Central Market), I wanted to have some again. I had no idea there was shoofly pie available a great deal closer to me. I didn't realize the half slice came with ice cream. So I had a milkshake on top of shoofly pie & ice cream. All of it was really good, but I wasn't able to finish my pie & ice cream in such a short amount of time. Refer to my pics for the available sizes. I highly recommend stopping by & checking them out! You're in for a treat! Ps there is a donut shop next door, but they were closed at the time.

    Shoofly is a great place! Was craving a little nighttime sweet treat and decided to come here. I got the wedding cake flavor snoball and it was so good. They have over 40 different shaved ice flavors that you can pair with vanilla custard. Great service too!! Yum!!

    What a fun place with unique twists on shoo fly pie in the land of ice cream. From the road, this looks just what you would expect for an old school ice cream drive up. Their menu includes all things soft serve and what appears to be a limitless number of snowball flavors and combinations. What really sets them apart though is their ability to reinvent the Pennsylvania Dutch favorite shoofly pie in a variety of formats from moon pies to sundaes. I had the sundae and it was redolent in all things shoofly from molasses syrup to crumble providing both the flavors and texture of a good slice. This is more than a gimmick, it is deconstruction at its best. Staff is the usual teen crowd but they know the menu and are both friendly and polite. This took me back to my own teens and hot summer evenings being offset by the cool delights of an ice cream stand. Worth visiting for sure.

    I came for the pie and soft serve ice cream. I was not disappointed. Sweet tooth squad, the hype is real! Shoofly Dairy Bar gets its name from the PA Dutch dessert Shoofly pie and offers soft serve ice cream made with Farm Friend milk (non GMO, from happy grass fed cows,) among other menu items like Hawaiian shave ice, snoballs etc... Specializing in natural and organic ingredients, staff are well versed in their extensive menu offerings of what is natural colored, sugar free or made with organic cane sugar. The customer service received from this local Mom n Pop style shop was fantastic, which is merely the cherry on the top of my 5 star review. We got a slice of the Shoofly pie, a Whoopie Pie and a soft serve to share.... Prices are very fair for the size of the serving. The pie is a Mennonite family recipe and is absolutely delicious. Are you also one that takes your dog everywhere with you? Well, there is something for them too! It's called the Pup Cup. It's a snoball topped with peanut butter flavor, real beef or chicken broth and a small dog bone - my beagle did not sleep on this, she wolfed this down (and did not savor it...) but no complaints from her, just puppy dog eyes begging for more.

    It's like stepping back in time. We were driving back from the cape, and some errands took us off the main road. We felt like stopping for a treat, and yelp got us here--way to go, yelp. This is just like an old-time roadside ice cream stand. Being old, I know what I'm talking about. We had floats, which they made by putting rich ice cream in a large cup and handing it to us with bottles of premium soft drinks. We enjoyed them sitting at one of their many outside tables on a warm evening. While this place is too far for us to make a memorable trip, we would undoubtedly veer off the main road the next time we're in the area.

    I love Get Lost it's such a good sweet treat spot…read more Their Hawaiian shave ice is SO good and they have a ton of flavors to choose from. Tropical to sugary flavors; Dragon fruit to bubble gum. My personal favorite is the Float On which is root beer float inspired with vanilla icecream and it's seriously amazing. They put vanilla ice cream in the middle, shaved ice packed with flavor, and then top it with their house-made whipped cream. It just makes it perfect. The ice cream is delicious, the syrups are flavorful, and you can tell everything is made with care. As far as seating, it's a small spot. Inside where you order, there's only a tiny bit of seating so it's not really somewhere you go to sit for a long time. Most people order at the walk-up window and wait for their name to be called. They do have picnic tables outside if you want to sit out on a nice sunny day. And right beside it, there's an attached space with additional seating if you want to be somewhere a little more covered or out of the weather. It's perfect in the summer, but I also love that they stay open in the winter. They usually do buy-one-get-one free Fridays during the winter, which is such a nice bonus. And the customer service is always really good too friendly and welcoming every time I go. Definitely recommend if you're in Virginia Beach and craving something sweet and refreshing!

Somehow they managed to take the taste of a perfect iced coffee and turn it into the softest, fluffiest shaved ice you can imagine. Rich, refreshing, and way better than it has any right to be. The place is clean, the staff is friendly, and you can tell they put real care into what they serve. If you're even remotely a coffee person, do yourself a favor and get the Mug Life. Get Lost Ice just set the bar pretty high for every other shaved ice shop out there.

The staff is always friendly, and generous with their flavoring. This is a great place to stop by on a warm/hot day with seating outside. The only downside of this place is the parking. I wish that the parking lot was bigger or designed better, it does make it a bit limited for customers coming in and out. It's especially tricky for bigger vehicles maneuvering through.
