I wasn’t expecting much, and was still disappointed. Everything here is from a food distributor. Even the ice cream was bad. Ordered a fudge brownie “tornado” and it was little Debbie cosmic brownies jammed at the bottom, Ice cream on top of that, and then a few more brownies thrown on top.

We absolutely love Dairy Zone! It’s one of our favorite local spots, and as a family, we’re so happy to support them. The ice cream is always delicious, our orders are always spot on, and the service is consistently friendly. One of the sweetest touches is that they give free pup cups to our fur babies, which makes the whole trip even more special. Highly recommend stopping here—you won’t be disappointed!

Stopped by Dairy Zone and grabbed an Oreo Tornado — 10/10. The Oreo-to-ice cream ratio was perfect (no skimping here!), and it was blended just right. The staff was friendly and fast, even with a busy line. Definitely worth the stop if you’re in Des Moines and craving a solid frozen treat.

The most accurate sign in town. I’d going everyday if I had my 25 year old metabolism back!

It is my favorite ice cream place in town….but today was very dissatisfied. I ordered a Jr. chocolate shake for my wife and a Medium pineapple shake for myself. I usually get butterscotch and was leaning toward the black raspberry shake today. I love pineapple…a summer flavor… and its super hot today. So…I wanted to give it a try. All it was was a vanilla shake with very bland tasting super small chunks of what tasted like very expired …dry tasting freeze dried pineapple. No flavor. Tasted like a vanilla shake with a couple of nasty straw cloggers.

Yum! I had a small cherry dipped cone and it was really good and actually a pretty good sized cone for being a small. I went through the drive through and the service was fast and friendly. There are many options on the menu and even hot food. I will have to come back to try something else and sit outside in their outdoor seating area.

Gotta love a locally owned ice cream shop! Dairy zone has been a tradition in our family for 20+ years. I don’t know why their ice cream tastes so much better…but it does.

My personal favorite is a chocolate marshmallow shake! – Angela McKenzie

The menu board didn’t state anywhere that the cheeseburger is actually a loose meat sandwich, plus the seasoning was so strong we couldn’t eat it. We’ve been here before, there’s typically a line out into the street that moves quickly and the ice cream treats are good enough to keep us coming back to support a small, locally owned business. The service has typically been direct and quick, never what I’d call friendly but they do a great job considering the crowds. Tonight was significantly different. The line was less than usual, probably because of the fair and rain. When it was our turn at the speaker, the employee interrupted multiple times and kept saying “is that all?” “anything else?” leaving me feeling like she was not really hearing me. She didn’t repeat the order, which I should have asked her to do. When I got to the window and paid, (without being given a total) the bag felt light so I double checked the food. We were missing 1/3 of what we ordered (chicken tenders and fries). She had already closed the window. When she reopened it, she tried to give me the next person’s order. I let her know we were missing food. She didn’t say anything, turned away, then came back and said she only charged us for one and stared blankly at me. No apology, no solution suggestion, just a blank state. I drove away because I couldn’t deal with her and didn’t want to wait another 10+ minutes. IDK if she was the same employee from the speaker or two separate ones, but either way, the service and food fell WAY short today.
