Dairy Haus

Trying the local ice cream spot in any new place we visit is a must, so we found ourselves at Dairy Haus on our last day in Saratoga Springs. It's a pretty unassuming place, right off the main drag, so easily to get to but also easy to miss if you didn't know it was there (although of course, all the locals know about it). It was a warm summer day, so not surprisingly, the line was long but moved fast. I was feeling soft serve, and I was intrigued by their lemon soft serve. I didn't want to commit to a whole cone of lemon, so I wanted to twist it with vanilla. However, given the way their machines are set up, you could only swirl chocolate with vanilla and lemon with raspberry (which also would have been delightful). The employee leveled with my request though and wound up layering my cone so I did have 50% lemon and 50% vanilla, just stacked on top of each other. This was perfect! The tartness of the lemon was nicely balanced by the creaminess and sweetness of the vanilla, making for an excellent cone. The quality was high, and I appreciated the server's help in getting me what I wanted. I only went for the soft serve, so I can't speak to other menu options, but they have vast options and lots of yummy hard ice cream options that would please anyone. I would recommend Dairy Haus to anyone in the Saratoga Springs area looking for a quality ice cream treat!

This is a smaller ice cream stop, but they offer alot. Soft and hard, on the general forms. The flavors we got we all enjoyed. We will be back.

Large portions. Great variety of flavors and types of dessert options. Has vegan and nondairy, too which is nice.

While visiting Saratoga Springs for a concert at SPAC, we arrived in town the same day as National Ice Cream Day 2024, 07/21. Of course, we had to celebrate so after grabbing a meal at a local brewery up the road, we saw Dairy Haus. Reading a few articles and reviews and after trying it for ourselves, we knew we made the right decision to celebrate here! We arrived around 6:45pm on a Sunday to a full parking lot. We ended up parking in the animal groomer parking lot directly next door. Standing in line, there were several picnic tables to the side, full of people enjoying Dairy Haus' treats. We were impressed with their large menu of treats but what sold the two of us was the fact all their ice cream, hard and soft, was homemade. The lines were expectedly long as it was a beautiful Sunday evening and National Ice Cream Day, but they moved right along. The staff behind the counter were young, friendly, and did a nice job taking orders and sending them out. Both of us ordered three scoops of their hard ice cream in a waffle cone. For my scoops, bottom scoop was Mint Madness (mint ice cream, Oreo cookies, crunchy fudge swirl, mint wafers), middle scoop was Peanut Butter Oreo (vanilla ice cream, Oreo cookies, peanut butter swirl), and top scoop was Cookie Monster (vanilla ice cream, cookie dough, Oreo cookies). Each ice cream was creamy and delicious but of the three, I liked Peanut Butter Oreo the best! Each flavor had a hearty scoop and fit nicely in the fresh-tasting waffle cone! We felt the price we paid for our treats was reasonable for the quality and quantity we received. Dairy Haus impressed us with their spanning menu of treats and the fact all their ice cream is homemade and reasonably priced! Make sure you bring cash if you come though as they do not accept credit cards, but I did see an ATM, just in case you forget.

This place is legit. This isn't just an ice cream shop. It's THE ice cream shop. Soft serve, hard serve, over 30 flavors, tons of different types of sundaes, shakes and the list just keeps going. And it's delicious to boot... it's like someone who loves ice cream put together the menu. Someone said the serving sizes are too small. I don't know what they're talking about. Check out the pics. And they have good music playing and a great atmosphere to enjoy your deliciousness. This is a destination ice cream Dairy Haus!
