I keep coming back to UDairy--it's easily some of my absolute favorite ice cream. The First State Cobbler is a must-try and the raspberry cheesecake is another standout. Be warned their portions are very generous, I usually get a small if I want a rather large amount of ice cream, and even the kids size is very generous! They also offer pints and quarts to go, plus a selection of cheeses. The staff is also very kind every time. I recently discovered there's a walking trail that leads to the farm behind the creamery. There are benches and seating along the way, making it a great spot to hang out. Just a heads up: most of the outdoor seating is currently under construction as they expand the area, but it looks like it'll be even better once it's finished. read more

First weekend of spring was the only occasion we needed to get us to UDairy Creamery, and as usual, it did not disappoint! Great selection of flavors, absolutely delicious and perfectly creamy true ice cream. It was nice enough to sit outside at a picnic table which always makes it more fun. Though the decision was tough, today I went with a scoop of 1923 which is French vanilla ice cream with chocolate chunks and a salted caramel swirl. Sooooo many great sounding flavors! Though my usual go-to flavor is their classic Cookies & Cream, I need to go back soon to try the Holy Fluffernutter!! In addition to many freshly scooped ice cream options, they also sell ice cream by the pint or half gallon, and they have other ice cream treats, artisan cheeses, and some fun merch. They have plenty of parking, as it sits next to the Fred Rust Ice Arena. You're likely to find long lines as we get further into the warm weather seasons, but we always find it worth the wait when that happens. read more

Was at the University of Delaware for a cheer competition and this ice cream shop showed up as one of the places that we should check and we are soooo glad we did. They serve the most creamy and delicious ice cream that my family and I have ever tasted. It was so good that we went back the next day to try more of the flavors. Between our two trips we tried Chocolate, Mint chocolate chip, 1st state cobbler, Strawberry, Blissful Bing Cherry, and U-be-be Baby. Each flavor was outstanding and we just could not stop eating. Also the portions are big. The store is run by students and the customer service is great. If you are ever in the area you owe it to yourself to go by and try it. You won't regret it. I would give this place 6 stars if I could. It is just that good! read more

Popped in for dessert on a Thursday evening. While the exterior of the building smelled like the nearby farming operations, the inside smelled like fresh waffle cones and the plethora of ice cream being made. The staff were really friendly enjoy and allowed me to sample a few flavors prior to deciding. While they were all excellent, I settled on the seasonal pumpkin coffee cake flavor. Portions were very generous at s great price point. Excellent ice cream, will definitely be back! read more

I love stopping by UDelaware's creamery for ice cream. They have fun flavors and are more reasonably priced. The kids scoop is 1 scoop in a cup, the small is 2 scoops (1 flavor) in a cup or choice of cone, and medium is 4 scoops (2 flavors) in a cup or choice of cone. The flight is 4 scoops (4 flavors). I find that their ice cream does melt rather quickly so I like to get the ice cream in a cup with a cone on top. I like getting the medium or flight so I can try more flavors. On the regular menu, the bing cherry and Ube are some of our favorites. For seasonal flavors, we have enjoyed the 1st state cobbler, junk in the tree trunk, and trick or treat. Located near the ice rink with ample parking and benches/seating outside the shop. They do not have a public bathroom so make sure to grab wet naps and napkins! read more

Delicious ice cream made fresh on campus. I got the ice cream flight with apple cobbler, Bing cherry, pumpkin cobbler and chocolate peanut cocoa. It was all delicious. Four small scoops, a sampler of deliciousness. Friendly staff; stools inside and tables outside. And koozies for your ice cream so it doesn't melt. And the cow cutout is so adorable and she's eating ice cream! She likes ice cream too! read more

Delicious homemade ice cream with unique 20+ seasonal and classic flavors. Whenever we drive up from Northern Virginia to King of Prussia, PA, we make a pit stop at UDairy for a sweet treat with a generous ginormous serving! The ice cream has a high freezing point and doesn't melt right away.While there's no option for a split scoop, you can get a Kiddie scoop or a flight of 4 flavors. My favorites include All Nighter, Mint and Cookies, Nom Nom Nom, and Delaware River Mud Pie, and Ch Ch Ch Chocolate. All Nighter - The sweet and savory flavor tastes like mocha with a coffee base and cookie dough, chocolate sandwich cookies, and fudge. Bursting with flavor in every bite. Ch Ch Ch Chocolate - True to its chocolatey name, the flavor is frozen cocoa ice cream with chocolate chunks, chocolate sandwich cookies, chocolate cake crunchies and a fudge swirl. Delaware River Mud Pie - Chocolate Cookies and Cream was delicious! Nom Nom Nom - Fun blue ice cream with cookie dough and cookies and cream. Mint and Cookies - Tastes like a thin mint cookie. My preference over the Mint Chocolate Chip. Cookie Dough Dynamite - Loaded with cookie dough. The flavor was a bit more bland and I would opt for Nom Nom Nom. 1st State cobbler - Wasn't a big fan of the peach ice cream with blueberry swirl and cinnamon. Fun to try, but very sweet! The Apple Cider didn't quite hit the spot either. While the housemade crispy waffle cone adds a nice crunch, it's surprisingly very sweet and doesn't have that savory sweet pairing with the ice cream that I was hoping for. Impressively, I was able to make it to the bottom of a cone without any ice cream dripping onto my hand. No mess! Before getting sprinkles, just ask the shop if they have them as they sometimes run out. One time the staff topped off my ice cream with a thick coat of crunchy round nonpareils instead of sprinkles (the shop ran out), which overpowered and ruined the Nom Nom Nom flavor. While there's a porta potty, it's a bummer the restrooms aren't open to the public. Always excited to stop by and grab a scoop! read more

Stopped by after a college tour. Was interesting to learn that the ice cream is made from a dairy farm belonging to U Delaware. There's also a class for students to learn about the process and come up with their own flavors to be voted on. The classic milkshake was great. No complaints at all except for the calories...there is lots of seating indoors and some outdoor tables too. Enjoy! read more

As alumni of the University of Delaware, having UDairy's MooMobile at our wedding felt both nostalgic and incredibly fun. Guests sprinted to the truck the moment it arrived. Watching people experience UDairy for the first time and instantly fall in love was one of our favorite moments of the entire night!!! On the bus ride back to the hotels, everyone was comparing best flavors. Hearing someone say "Delaware River Mud Pie changed my life" absolutely made our night. Instead of a traditional cake cutting, we did an ice-cream-licking moment, and it was perfect. It felt so us, and taking photos on the MooMobile made it even more special. The team was incredibly kind, organized, and took such great care of our guests. Being able to use UDairy's vanilla ice cream with our caterer's desserts elevated everything, and having eight flavors to choose from was such an amazing surprise. We hope we created some new UDairy fans, and we can't wait to visit again the next time we're back on campus. Highly recommend the MooMobile for weddings and events. LeeAnne was a huge help with the planning! read more

Absolutely bombastic portion sizes for the price. Some of the most creative and amazing flavors I have tried. 100% allergy friendly for celiac customers. Loved it and would go again (once I'm not so full from the amount of ice cream that comes with a small) read more

Amazing ice cream! Been here several times as a student as a grad student a decade ago at the University of Delaware and went back with my wife and best friend last weekend. The service is friendly and fast and the seating is limited inside with a couple picnic tables outside. We ended up eating it in the car and it was wonderful. I love that they now have a Cookie Monster flavor called Om Nom Nom that my wife and I shared with the peach First State Cobbler special. Look forward to returning next time in Newark. read more

Might be the best ice cream I've ever had!!! Love the seasonal flavors! Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Believe the hype! If you're near Newark, Delaware...get HERE! Icecream is fresh, made by UD students at their local dairy farm through the college of agriculture You have NEVER experienced icecream so creamy and delicious! It's so filling, I learned the hard way that a single scoop is enough! They have regular flavors and seasonal selections. You can try before you buy, so you know you will love it. We regularly visit this location on Main Street whenever we are in town. The service is always so friendly and attentive. There's an indoor sitting area to enjoy your treat. read more

My family was visiting for my daughter to do a college tour. Saw that they had an ice cream place that uses dairy from campus agriculture and makes all the ice cream. Had to try that. I went with a four scoop sampler, very reasonably priced. The gentleman working the counter was very patient, as I couldn't remember the flavors I had decided on 60 seconds earlier. The ube flavor was a highlight for me, really great! My daughters enjoyed there's as well. (And so did I when I finished there's as well) Clean, bright, and modern. Definitely a great place to have on campus! read more

UDairy Creamery - Four scoop sampler! Loved that Ube! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Newark, Delaware

This student-run ice cream shop on the university's Ag School campus is a local gem. They have a wide range of flavors but the simple ones like peach are excellent. Only critique is that some are a bit too sweet for my boring adult palate. Can have long lines on warm summer nights but the vibe is laid back and there are picnic tables, garden with walking paths and cows nearby to hang out with. Nothing like the sound of cows mooing while you're licking an ice cream cone. read more

While taking one of my stepsons on a tour of the University of Delaware, we decided we had to stop at the UDairy Creamery. The students run the farm and make the ice cream. The ice cream was excellent! There are many flavors and a "single" is a large amount of ice cream. I had strawberry and loved it! It's a quick stop off I-95 if you're in Delaware. Give it a try!! read more

This place has the most delicious ice cream. Great different flavors especially the Ube

Really delicious homemade ice cream that uses ingredients from the School of Agriculture and is made and served by UD students. What more could you want?? As an alum let's just say I'm glad this I opened after I graduated - that would've been dangerous. The ice cream is super tasty and they have tons of flavors, though be warned it melts fast (probably because it doesn't have many preservatives) and they give you a lot for your money. We were with friends who got their kids 1 single each which included 2 scoops - way too much for little ones (they kept saying they should've gotten one for the kids to split). Lots of benches to sit and enjoy outside, though eating ice cream while smelling manure is a funny experience. :P read more

Ice cream place on the outskirts of the University of Delaware campus that uses dairy from campus agriculture, and where the students run the farm, run the store, and make the ice cream. The place has both a walk up window and a shop, and, although there is no seating inside, there are picnic tables and benches outside There are a great selection of ice cream flavors here, and they even have a great deal on a flight--four scoops for $6. My GF and I just oped for one scoop of ice cream, but they gave us a ton of ice cream which barely fit on a cone. The ice cream was solid, but strangely it melted extremely quickly. Maybe this is due to a high dairy-fat content? This could be wrong, but it's a guess read more

Wow! What a treat! I-95 SB exit is right before the tolls, so that's a major plus! Arrived to see many young people out front, but they were just enjoying their ice cream and hanging out with friends - there was no line inside; another major plus! Unbelievable selection of interesting flavors - tough to decide! And, I'm happy to say that the flavor I chose was udderly delicious! I don't think you can go wrong with a visit here! Enjoy!!! read more

Great service! Great flavors! Always delicious! I have never had a flavor I didn't like. Love the samples!

We stopped for ice cream after a tour of University of Delaware. Single scoop cone was really generous, in fact it was our lunch I would definitely go again read more

Recommended by a friend who lives in the area, so we stopped by on our way back to NY. We tried 4 different flavors: mango basil, u be-be baby (ube) peach green tea, and the 1923 (french vanilla with chocolate chunks and salted caramel swirl). The portions here are HUGE, even for a single scoop!! 1923 and the ube flavor were definitely highlights. Mango basil and the peach green tea were good, but I would probably go for the ube next time. No samples were allowed due to COVID. The line looked long when we first arrived, but it moves really quickly. Would definitely recommend stopping by! read more

UDairy Creamery - Mango Basil - this was a single scoop!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Newark, Delaware

One of my favorite foods is ice cream so I am a tough critic. My sister just moved to Newark for college and said we have to try UDairy. This has to be one of the top 3 best ice cream places I have ever had. I got a scoop of mango basil and U be-be baby. My sister had 2 scoops of peach green tea in a cone. The scoops were HUGE. After taking a bite, we each looked at each other in shock - so good. The U be-be baby is SO good, if you like ube. I'm from north NJ and would consider making the drive just for this one flavor. The mango basil was good but I would have liked a slightly stronger basil flavor. My sister's peach match was also very good. The total was only $10 which was a steal for the portion size. I am dreaming about the next time I can get UDairy. read more

When I told a friend I was going to Newark, he immediately said "you HAVE to go to UDairy." I was skeptical, but the ice cream is awesome! The server helpfully let me know that you can get a flight with four flavors. My favorite was the ube - it was so rich and delicious! The peanut butter chocolate and the "grandma's gone coconuts" were also great. They had lots of seating outside at picnic tables. Definitely make time for it if you're in town! read more

Time for an update! What sold me was U Be-Be Baby (Ube with vanilla wafer pieces). If you're not familiar with that, it is purple yam and highly used in Filipino desserts. To my surprise, I was not disappointed. So I've been coming here the last two visits this month just for that. My husband's favorite is the Ton-A-Toffee and I also enjoyed the Caramel Macchiato. Check the board as they carry $5 Flights Special for 4 different scoops of flavors. Lines can be long at times so expect to wait. Especially the outdoor window. However, worth the sweet treat on a hot summer day. read more

After hearing of this place from friends, I took the opportunity to pull over and try it on a trip back from Baltimore today. I got 4 different flavors for the family: Chocolate, butter pecan, Nom Nom Nom, and Grandma's Gone Coconuts. Sampling all 4, I can tell you this. Grandma's Gone Coconuts is something special. I'd drive back for that. The butter pecan and chocolate both had intense flavors. My wife loved both as did my kid. The Nom Nom Nom, blue vanilla with cookies in it basically, that's the one I'd say was good but not great. It's just not something I'd consider special. Everything else... I'd definitely consider special. read more

The ice cream scoops here are ginormous compared to other ice cream shops that I've been to! We got a double scoop for only $4.50 and we were so full from the ice cream. Love how they have so many different flavors to choose from and the names are so clever - we got Grandma's Gone Coco Nuts and U Be-Be Baby. I was actually surprised that they had an ube flavored ice cream (which was really good - had a nice ube flavor and was creamy). Will come back next time to try the other flavors - we also saw that they had a tasting flight option (choose 4 different flavors for $5)! read more

Always a popular spot for ice cream on the University of Delaware's campus. They have deliciously creamy homemade flavors (you can go visit the farm right next door) that include awesome staple flavors like The All Nighter and Delaware River Mudpie, as well as seasonal ones like Pumpkin.
