The Story

The scent of sugar and cream floats through the air in that charming old parlor, a sweet welcome to any weary traveler. Generations have found joy in the perfectly swirled ice cream cones, each scoop a taste of simple, honest pleasure. It feels like stepping back to a time when life moved a little slower, and every visit was a comforting tradition.

    Love love love The SDSU Dairy Bar. Hopefully you can see the students working in the Ice-cream Plant filling the tubs and mixing in the Butterfingers through the windows.

    Friendly staff, fresh and delicious ice cream. This was my first time here and I chose coffee ice cream based on the staff's recommendation. It was delicious and I will come back often.

    Recently purchased SDSU coffee with fudge. Dairy plant 46-105. - a big disappointment as no coffee flavor and no fudge. Purchased in Huron Wyshbone. We have been purchasing SDSU ICECREAM for years as both of our sons graduated from there. First bad experience. Thought you should know that quality check is missing. Bring the good back, Jacks.

    Shake machine is “always broken” staff claim. Although it works and they just to lazy to do it. Even if you think it’s “because they are busy and don’t have the time” even if I’m the only one in the dairy bar it’s “still broken”. I asked the lady at the register and she look very confused when I asked why they weren’t making shakes. This has happened multiple times.
