The UConn Dairy Bar opened in 1953 to sell dairy products that were made by the UConn Creamery. The Creamery was established in the early 1900s and bottled milk all the way up until 1991.

Today, the Creamery makes ice cream according to its original recipe and sells it through the Dairy Bar retail establishment. The Dairy Bar also sells UConn eggs, artisnal cheese, and other frozen treats such as ice cream cookie sandwiches.
