Dairy Bar has recently been recognized by the Boston Globe Magazine and Yankee Magazine as a top ice cream destination in New England!
Boston Globe journalist Francis Storrs says:
I admit there aren’t a ton of reasons to visit Storrs in the summer, which I can say because I grew up there, but the second best reason for the trip (you’re first Mom and Dad!) is for what I humbly judge to be New England’s best ice cream. The University of Connecticut started as an agricultural school, and the Dairy Bar helps continue that tradition, crafting dozens of flavors using milk and cream from cows you can actually see from the shop, as they graze on Horsebarn Hill. You can’t go wrong with any shake, sundae, or cone – my go-to flavors are salted caramel crunch, Husky Tracks, and classic chocolate – but if you want to be right, get the giant ice cream made with homemade chocolate chip cookies. It’s big enough to share. After one bite, you won’t want to.
