Not to be missed. The ice creams and the flavors are simply amazing. They are always in rotation. Some of the texture of ice creams were incredible. Try the Ezra Coffee or the Blackberry Custard with bits of fudge. Great Food Science hall area to sit and enjoy ice cream on a hot day.

A good visiting spot for ice cream. It is very cheap 10 bucks for 3 scoops times 2. So many choice of ice creams and all ice cream made on campus. The ice cream is very smooth. Be sure to get their milk too. Their milk is more creamier which you cannot get at the local supermarket.

Great ice cream. They were super busy because it was drop off weekend, and it was still organized and everyone was so friendly.

Great tasting ice cream. So smooth. So sweet! We all had different flavors but all were good.So fresh made makes the difference.

Unbelievable! Probably one of the world’s best ice cream in a school cafeteria!!! I think it is the product of culinary and agricultural departments of the university. It’s their own production not available anywhere else. If you are interested in ice cream, it is a must try. Very good tasting, creamy and I am sure with best ingredients and nothing else.

Very good ice cream! A cool rainie day but still lots of customers. Cheerful workers. We strolled past the viticulture lab in the same building.

A delicious variety of ice cream flavors, and all the employees were friendly and helpful.

Super creamy but lack flavor, long line but moves fast.

The ice cream is fresh made and just amazing. There has been a line to the door the entire visit. Must try location!

Parking:Right across the building ample parking. Paid during business hours. Free on weekends.We were in Ithaca and wanted to try ice cream. Luckily it was close and we wanted to visit Cornell University as well so we have visited cornell dairy and I am glad we did because its very difficult to come by ice cream that tastes so good or GREAT. HATS off to the quality, same as gelato. I loved caramel flavor and there was something three bear with brownie and caramel. It was superb. I had to buy 2 extra bowls to take with me.

Bavarian Raspberry Fudge still as good as I remember it.

Great ice cream, very large portions. Bring an empty stomach.

I work close by on campus, so I go here almost every day!!! The workers are always nice and offer very quick service!You can buy sandwiches, coffee (prepared coffee drinks and bags of ground coffee), fruit, ICE CREAM, AND MILK!!!! Plus Cornell Dairy Bar merchandise (t-shirts, car decals, coffee cups and travel mugs, etc) all of which look super cute and high-quality.Ive never tried their ice cream but it always looks suuuuuper good. And its REALLY popular!They accept many forms of payment! Cash, card, meal card, p-card, etc.

Small and fantastic food service area. Excellent dairy products, great food and friendly staff. Definitely take the tour upstairs while you are there. Highly recommended!

A great spot to visit it you are exploring campus. Excellent ice cream that make wonderful shakes. You can buy dairy products and maple syrup in bulk to go. If you fall in love with their ice cream, they have a variety Cornell Dairy Bar wear and logo items to choose from. In addition they have fountain drinks, a variety of fresh coffees to choose from and a small grill. You can eat inside or out on a nice patio.

Epic, huge sundae with high quality ice cream for only $5. Cornell may be expensive but this isnt!

It was neat to see how ice cream is made & the ice cream was delicious.

Amazing ice cream, amazing staff, amazing pricing, amazing portions...I think that covers it.Everything is made by them, and when the milk is from the cows on campus.The staff are so patient while you try the different ice creams. They are also very knowledgeable about all their ice cream flavors.Theres plenty of tables and chairs to kick back and enjoy your sweet treat.One of the best ice creams Ive had!

Ice cream was so good, this place is definitely worth a stop if youre in the area. It is on campus, so youll need to follow their COVID-19 guidelines and wear a mask while getting your ice cream. There are lots of seats outside.

Not to be dramatic, but their Bavarian raspberry ice cream is perfection. The kiddie scoop was huge, so the value is also pretty stellar. If youre a nerd like me, youll probably enjoy heading upstairs to walk along the Cornell Dairy Observation Deck.

In Ithaca, Cornell Dairy is the go-to ice cream spot. Its ice cream wins with its lush creaminess, rotating flavors, and great prices. Purity, the biggest local competitor, fares better with dairy-free options. Try the maple walnut or clocktower pumpkin and you wont be disappointed.My one and only complaint: the brownie in my brownie sundae always makes my spoon break! SUCH A STIFF BROWNIE!!!! Cornell Dairy, please start microwaving your brownies so they soften beforehand.

Yum. Had the Barbarian Rasberry Chocolate, in a medium with 3 large scoops, in a waffle cone. Wow was that good.

For delicious and fresh ice cream, i can’t complain about the prices! It’s actually very reasonable and even more when you get the pint ones.The selection is great because it’s a good mixture of basic ones and innovative flavours. I really can’t remember the name of the flavour I got but the base was açai and it’s mixed with swirls of fudge and coconut flakes. I actually loved it because it was so unique and delicious.The space is very clean and well kept. If I went here for school, I’d definitely love to grab an ice cream and study because it’s so spacious and bright.I guess one complaint is the staff seem kinda snappy? I kind of get it though because that’s how it is for most university facilities that are run by students, but we were clearly tourists and it would’ve been nice if they were patient and welcoming because we were new to this!Otherwise, I’d still highly recommend and I’m definitely coming back when I have the chance to. Really want to try the ice cream sandwich! (Which is in the freezer along with the pints)

I enjoyed it very much.Modern and several eating options.Plenty of I door and outdoor seating.Large portions

I am very choosy when it comes to ice creams and the ice cream here is one of the best I have had.

There is no vegan options. The ice cream flavors are unique. There is plenty of seating for groups to meet or just go there by yourself.

Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm-good!

They a have the most delicious ice cream in Ithaca. I love triple play chocolate.

Amazing sundaes, and all things ice-cream at a reasonable price. On top of that its just opposite the amazing (and free) cornell botanic gardens: who could say no?

Finally got to try ice cream after more than 10 years since I graduated. Delicious ice cream. The observatory gallery is a must to visit

Nice variety of ice cream. Highly recommended!!

Please update your hours on your website to reflect operating hours. Drove half an hour to visit and was closed

Bavarian Raspberry Fudge ice cream is superb

Great place to get an ice cream after visiting Cornell botanic gardens..dont miss it

Fan of gelato growing up, this ice cream is rich and tasty

Outstanding and delicious ice cream.

What a wonderful selection of ice cream varieties!!

Their ice cream is awesome! Creamy and rich; a must for ice creamholic

Nice place for ice cream lovers!

Yummy! The cherry ice cream is amazing.

Nice local creamery.

Good ice cream made with fresh, local dairy.

World class, incredibly creamy ice cream. I chase ice cream everywhere I’ve ever traveled, and the ice cream here rivals or tops and I’ve ever had.

Good flavor selection and it tasted good

Excellent ice cream. Delish flavors made there. You can also find milk, cream, and yogurt. Probably a good idea to be ready to wait, it can easily get packed by both Cornellians and visitors alike. You can also go right next door and check out an exhibit on how the milk is processed. And the tanks are is lit at night. Grab a chair and enjoy a scoop!

Amazing ice cream and food

Great tasting ice cream

Very special & delicious 😋 Ice Cream 👍

Good ice cream

Terry went above and beyond to provide AMAZING ICE CREAM! Thanks Terry!

Ice cream. Thats all you need to know...and order.

I love the brownie sundae and malts that are offered here. Not bad prices considering the proportions they give out.

Great ice cream & very friendly employees.

So great ! Best milkshakes ever !

Very good 👍

Delicious ice cream at reasonable prices, only mild complaint is that certain flavors can be fairly sweet. Seasonal flavors such as pumpkin are offered, and you can buy them by the pint.

Ezras morning cup is the best icecream!

Best Ice cream

Rich, super delicious dairy products! Lots of space just outside the shop to hang out with folks, read/chill, and possibly go for seconds:) I tried several flavors before deciding - all I tasted were ones I’d get on their own, from the chocolate based to fruit centered.

Super Rich premium ice cream.

Delicious

Love the ice cream !! It is made right here on campus and is the most creamy ice cream you will ever eat !!

Very nice staff, amazing prices, and good ice cream! Its a nice place to bring your kids or to hang out with friends. The distance from main campus is fine because the bus stop is just across the street.

Amazing ice cream right in the middle of campus. It’s such a pleasure to go get one of their tastes as a break from work... there’s always something new to discover.

The best ice cream Ive ever tasted.

The Cornell Dairy Bar has delicious, inventive flavors. The students make a new flavor every year, and it is highlighted across campus. The flavors are delicious, and theyre really chock-full of amazing ingredients. The only problem I have is that the Scoops that you can get when you actually go to the Dairy Bar very very small. They are about the size of a third of an ice cream scoop Purity ice cream. They are delicious, but the staff is staffed by students, and at times they are short with you. Overall I highly recommend, and everyone must go at least once while theyre on Cornell campus, but if youre looking for the average size scoop, you will be disappointed. You will pay a very expensive price for a very small amount of ice cream.

Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. And I’m very picky. The texture of the ice cream is smooth and creamy with a delicious taste. They must use some sort of organic or natural milk, making it extra rich. Wow! So good.

Very good

The kiddie size ended up to be bigger than my small size 😡 tasty ice cream and has an observation gallery on the second floor. Some of the flavors are final class projects created by Cornell students.

Best ice-cream I have ever tasted in my life! Perfect texture, temperature, balance of flavours. My favorite was the peanut butter mini served in the dining halls.

Absolutely AWESOME ice cream and THE NICEST LADY at the register. Made this tourist feel welcome a hundred times over. Highly recommend!!!!!

You know where your dairy is coming from.

Awesome range of ice creams! Bavarian Raspberry is my favorite! Nice place to sit and have your ice cream or just enter the plantations in the front and have a nice walk having your ice cream. Staff is really nice and friendly.Recently I discovered the Boston Milkshake and it was awesome and so fulfilling.

Not overpriced. But for me the ice cream is too sweet. And orange juice and milk are expensive.

Delicious and fresh ice cream! If you’re from a larger city, you probably wouldn’t think the prices are bad at all. I just wish they had pistachio ice cream.

The ice cream here is amazing! It is creamy, rich and delicious! There are so many flavors too (too much approach-approach conflict!) Dont be shy to taste several flavors before you decide on one, or may be two..or....so yum!!

Dairy bar ice cream is something that everyone must try in their lives. The entire production of the delicious ice cream is done on site - down to milking the cows. Some of the flavors were created by students!

All over google, own website stated closing at 7:30. Guess what, they close at 6pm ~~sharp~~ still serving people inside just past the hour but left our 1 year old baby high and dry as they refused to serve us. Boy on door was like I dont care, our sign says 6:00pm we dont control the websiteLeft with hungry baby disappointed.

This is a Kidde scoop.. (its a lot)

Best ice cream in Ithaca

Its Cornell Dairy Ice Cream! With some fun and interesting flavors and some of Cornells very own dairy products including yogurts, cheeses, milks, ice creams, ice cream cookies etc. to purchase. Get a milkshake, youll love it. Only downside is that they dont provide any vegan ice creams.

Without a doubt the best ice cream you will ever have. It is really hard to choose because all of their ice cream choices are delicious.

Always the BEST ice cream and Ive been eating there since the early 70s.

Quite possibly the best ice cream I have ever had. The cream content was off the charts. I have the triple caramel. I dont think Ill be eating dinner tonight.

Nice and interesting variety of ice-creams. Must try it at least one time.

Expensive, but it is also local and high quality. No soft serve because its so local and high quality ice cream. Also in a beautiful building. The ice cream is made a hundred feet from where it is served!

I include a visit here every time I come to Cornell. The tastiest, richest, creamiest Ive had.

The ice cream was good, unfortunately my experience was completely ruined by one employee. she was so rude I was about to walk away. she was bothered by me taking a minute to decide (first timer) and then she slammed my dish on the counter and walked away.Too bad a nice place like this has such a rude unprofessional employee that ruins the whole experience.

A secret out of the way spot that greatly enriches the student and visitor experience. The freshest and best campus dairy in America!

Great, creamy ice cream, with a good variety of flavors. Also has a variety of other freshly made dairy products (yogurt, pudding, etc) that are also pretty good.

The ice-cream is very tasty with some unique flavors. Their cheese is also very good.

Great selections of ice cream! Bavarian raspberry was delicious. This dairy bar is inside of a school building.

A paradise of various fresh food and delicious ice cream. The only downside is that sometimes you have to queue for some time.

Great creamy ice cream. You cannot go wrong with any ice cream flavor here.

Nice tasty ice cream.

Awesome ice creams and milkshakes. Recommend that you try the Boston milk shake or the Bavarian raspberry fudge.

A cool ice cream shop in the middle of the Cornell campus. Delicious ice cream!

The ice cream was very good indeed. But the staff are not very friendly or knowledgeable. I saw they arguing whether they could do my order or not with me as an observer.

Great place to enjoy icecream, coffee and snacks. Very good ambiance.

Amazing
