Zoe's Ice Cream Barn

This is a great, local spot, that we found getting on the TSP from Family weekend at Marist. The staff was pleasant, and the ice cream fantastic. The atmosphere is very approachable and the outdoor tables made it viable for us and our two dogs to enjoy 2 cones and a pup treat before getting into traffic. We are definitely adding this to our Poughkeepsie stops.

Cool spot overall. The ice cream was good. The dairy may be fresh, but the burgers seem to be generic frozen patties. The shoestring fries are great, though, very crispy and tasty. I appreciated that they did not engage in the guilt-heavy tipping manipulation that is currently so prevalent at counter-based food service. Minus 1 star because the bathrooms were a bit of a mess - probably because of all the kids.

Peanut butter lovers is totally legit. Thick and creamy. Got 2 scoops cause thats what I usually get at our local place, but 1 would do here. Just so much flavor and creamy their 2 scoops are like 3 regular. Not gonna hear me complain though. Will be back.

Stick to the ice cream, because the food is not terrible but not the best; if you do you will have a great time. :) Such interesting and good flavors, and quick and friendly service! Especially recommend the peach strawberry crumble!

My review is based only on the ice cream. The place also offers food but we visited only to try the ice cream. The quality is great- super creamy and with the right amount of sugar. They offer a wide variety of flavors including several seasonal such as eggnog. Great old fashioned quality ice creams. Will return.
