Oh my gosh they have finally have a dairy-free chocolate ice cream!!! I got a single scoop of it on a chocolate dipped waffle cone. It does have a very coconut flavor, and definitely tastes different than the regular chocolate ice cream they serve. However, it was still extremely delicious and the texture was impeccable. And the chocolate dipped cone was still as great as I remembered it. Great outdoor seating, really nice kids working there, overall great experience!

Dairyhäus is absolutely adorable. From the moment we pulled up, the charm of the place was impossible to ignore. It has that perfect small-town ice cream shop feel, but with quality and options that rival the big names.

The line was long, which honestly made me even more excited — and it moved quickly thanks to their friendly and efficient staff. Everyone was helpful, upbeat, and patient, even with all the indecisive ice cream lovers (myself included).

I was thrilled to see they had dairy-free options that actually tasted amazing. It’s not easy to find a place that caters to dietary needs without sacrificing flavor, but they nailed it.

The whole vibe was relaxed and happy. Families, couples, kids running around with sprinkles on their faces — it was just one of those feel-good places you want to come back to.

Definitely worth the trip. Can’t wait to return for round two.

My family visited Dairyhaus in Rockton this week and thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream. Housed in a charming historic building, it offers plenty of shaded outdoor seating—perfect for relaxing on a warm day. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

They never miss. Love that they have fresh ice cream and rotating flavors. The waffle cones were really good too. They fold them at the bottom, so you don’t drip down through the middle – that’s how I know they’re ice cream experts.

The Dairyhaus had some great non-dairy ice cream, if that’s your thing, along with the normal traditional fare. It was a hit with our family.

Daryl here again! I have to give another review (had to use my YouTube channel email), this place just always gets better and better! Everyone always talks about the big chain ice cream shops, but be sure to never overlook Dairyhaus! You will not get the quality service and the great quality ice cream at any other shop, Dairyhaus is the place to stop! Great ice cream, amazing staff and service and the friendliest environment you could ever ask for! Very old fashioned and super awesome! This is my favorite hometown ice cream shop, if you are here from out of town and you want ice cream, this is the shop! I will always come here every ice cream season! Ps try the Cookie Monster sundae, it’s the bomb!
