A tad on the pricey side and I don't love their waffle cone- quite average and no depth in flavor- rather bland. Nonetheless, I love their fun flavors of ice cream! I have tried purple cow, cookie explosion (my favorite), cinnamon (reminds me of cinnamon toast crunch), coffee & cream, caramel apple cheesecake, and blueberry cheesecake! Good service, friendly workers! I particularly appreciate how willing they are to let you sample flavors! Also, very good with allergies. I would highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

They're open all year round scooping up homemade ice cream with unique flavors! Too cold to eat out? Enjoy your cone in their comfortable seating area surrounded by flyers of local events & businesses. Never been and want to pick the best flavor for you? Ask their friendly staff who is always willing to answer any questions you have!

This place has a soft space in my heart, so that might skew my review. As an alum, I spent too much…read moretime here during my undergrad days. After not being there for a while, this was legitimately my first stop on campus when visiting. Went straight from the airport and got some scoops. Even on days when the temperature dipped below zero, I found myself wanting ice cream from Dairy Bar when I was a student. Years later, I'm happy to say that the flavors were still as good as I hoped. There are times when nostalgia can carry or elevate a memory of something, and luckily, nostalgia aside, I very much enjoyed my ice cream here. Pro tip for those who might not know: they serve limited flavors of the same Cornell-made ice cream in dining halls. They also serve it during the buffets at Statler Hotel. I love the different flavors, and would eat it at any time of day.

They have really unique ice cream flavors which they sell at their Dairy Bar on campus and distribute to local retailers. The Dairy Bar is a small cafe housed in Stocking Hall, home to Cornell's dairy program. The cafe has mostly to-go items like wrapped sandwiches and pre made bowls and snacks. They also have a grill with a small selection of fresh menu items. And they have an ice cream bar of course with the same flavors as their refrigerated pints. The staff here was friendly. It gets a little crowded around lunch time so plan ahead.

The coffee is also delicious and didn't even need a flavor added. The man taking our orders the first day was also incredibly kind and you could tell he just enjoyed his job, or at least was happy to be there. There's also a mini shop here basically. There's fresh bread and prepackaged meals here like Shepards pie and fruits and veggies. There also was plenty of cute merch and I left with two designs. Two things that I didn't like. Ordering was a bit chaotic. There are labeled areas that show where to order what, but if it's your first time in it can feel overwhelming and you might be wandering a bit figuring it out. I wish it could all be ordered at one spot, not like it's a food hall. I understand that this probably does work the best for them though and is most likely pretty easy for ordering if you're a local. Lastly, I had an issue with a woman working the second day. They have a big menu and I was looking at it above her head while ordering. She was fine while I was talking, but stopped me when I went to walk away. She said "You know, you really need to face people while you're talking to them." What! So awkward and weird. That's the main reason I took one star off because it caused me not to go back again. Very rude and felt like a mini lecture for no reason.

This visit we got coffee, breakfast sandwiches and various baked goods. The restaurant was busy and hopping with activity on a Sunday morning around 9AM. The parking lot was full but there was street parking around the business. There was also plenty of seating for us to find some room to eat in comfort. You order food at one counter but you pay at the other counter? All food is delivered to the "pay" counter. Service was fast, even with the crowd, the breakfast sandwiches were delicious, the coffee was dark (which we love) and the baked goods didn't last long.

Food: The ice cream isn't that great. It's overly sweet and the flavors are fairly monotone. Service: Despite paying for my ice cream, I felt like the server taking my order was doing me a favor. The server glared at me when I walked in. After I got my ice cream, I asked for an extra spoon as I wanted to share it with a friend. The server refused to give me another spoon, despite having already paid $6.25 for a somewhat small cup of ice cream. I offered to pay for the extra spoon and was met with another glare and a strong "NO". Have you ever been to a ice cream shop that refused to give you an extra plastic spoon?
