★★★★★ 5.0 Viktor Rybachuk · Sep 2025

Dolly’s Dairy Bar & Gift Shop is the kind of place that makes you slow down and just enjoy the moment. My wife and I stopped in and tried the cookies and cream along with the praline pecan ice cream. Both were absolutely delicious. The cookies and cream was rich, creamy, and packed with big chunks of cookies in every scoop, while the praline pecan had that perfect balance of sweet and nutty with just the right amount of crunch. What stood out to me was how fresh everything tasted, it’s clear they take pride in what they serve. The portions were generous too, and by the time we were done, we were already talking about what flavors we’ll try next time. On top of the ice cream, the atmosphere in Dolly’s is warm and inviting. It has that local charm where you feel welcome the moment you step

Anytime you pass you have to stop. There are some FUNK “camp” flavors - but they start to run out end of season (RIP ballistic blue balls). Staff was normal. My friend did get strawberry in his chocolate due to a lack of washing the scoop (?)

The best ice-cream i ate in the US so far. Really worth a visit. Good prices and the portions are huge! They get closed seasonal in October and open again in spring. That's why many flavors are running out now (September). Perfect ice-cream on a sunny day or after a good hike or bike-tour.

Some of the best homestyle ice cream I’ve ever had and it was honestly such a surprise given the location. The peach and coffee in particular were stand outs but ever flavor we got was surprising with how flavorful and natural / fresh tasting they were. 10/10 recommend stopping here after your hike

Dolly’s ice cream is one of my favorite ice cream places in the world. I could never ask for any more ice cream. I wake up thinking about Dolly and I go to sleep thinking about dollies they’re freshly made ice cream. I don’t even know if it’s freshly made but it taste so good and the staff here are so kind and welcoming, and it takes literally the snap of my fingers to get my ice cream
