"I thought this was a great outing for the family.It was Saturday night and a line to get in but they manage the place very well. They have a fleet off hard working employees with line control and then the servers. I thought the ice cream and floats were amazing. Great experience! Extremely reasonable prices. For 7 people our bill was around 65.00 very fair."

"DELICIOUS and well ORGANIZED. In a busy place there is always the pressure of getting your order done quickly...but not here. The service is very personal and we were able to take our time with our order. All the choices can be overwhelming, but the staff was very patient The Dairy is located on a country road, so take a sweater because you will feel the breeze."

"The best sundae I’ve ever had in my life. Wondered how good the ice cream could really be before getting there and it lived up to the hype. A must visit if in the area. Line moves quickly. Ordered the peach sundae and a smores sundae."

"Debit or Apple Pay Only. The ice cream here is amazing. Great portions for price. Great service. Friendly and quick staff. Waffles cones taste great. Do try a cookie cone. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Benches all around. Tables are sometimes messy. Washrooms to the left of the building. They are clean. Kids love this place. It's ice cream. There's swings outside. Easily accessible anywhere you need to go. Plenty of free parking. Nice place to watching the planes at the airport next door take off and land. Outdoor picnic tables can be a little bit messy. Parking can be busy on summer weekends. No WiFi. Limited indoor seating."

"I had been waiting since last year to try this ice cream. I loved it! There are many flavors, and the scoop size is too big. Next time, I’ll ask for a small scoop because I couldn’t eat all the ice cream — it was too sweet. I loved the fact that you pay by the kilo. It’s a lovely place, and I really recommend it."

"What a great great experience here! I ordered an Oreo Cookie in the kiddie’s size, and it’s the perfect amount for me - thank you to the worker who offered me this as an option. The ice cream has very rich flavours - I can say that it is stickier than your normal ice cream as it is made fresh from the cows they have in the back! Loved the atmosphere and ice cream there, one of the best ice cream I’ve ever had for sure!"

"Delicious and high quality ice cream. You can feel it fresh. Very organized. They only allow one person out and another in. So they won’t get crowned inside the store."

"Stopped at the legendary Avondale Dairy Bar and let me tell you, it was so good I didn’t even get a chance to take a picture before inhaling my ice cream. Oops. We went for Coconut Cream Pie and Key Lime, and honestly, they were next-level creamy, tangy, and sweet… like summer vacation in a cone. The Coconut Cream Pie tasted like dessert heaven, and the Key Lime had the perfect zing to balance it out. If you’re anywhere near Niagara-on-the-Lake, go here."
