Daddy's Dairy is a classic ice cream stand with an impressive selection of both hard and soft serve, making it easy to find something that matches whatever you are craving. We walked into a fun, nostalgic space with a large menu board packed with flavors, toppings, sundaes, frappes, and specialty desserts. The shop has a welcoming, family-friendly energy with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the bright, cheerful interior adds to the classic ice cream parlor feel. The steady flow of customers reflected its popularity as a local favorite, and the lively atmosphere made it a pleasant place to stop for a sweet treat. We stopped by for a milkshake, and it was thick, creamy, and made with real ice cream. The flavor was rich without being overly sweet, and the consistency was exactly what you look for in a good milkshake. The shake stayed thick throughout, never becoming watery, and the flavor held up well from the first sip to the last. The portions are generous, and there are plenty of flavor combinations to customize your order, with options ranging from classic chocolate and vanilla to more creative seasonal flavors. Even with a steady flow of customers, the staff kept things moving efficiently and were friendly throughout our visit, handling the line with speed and a welcoming demeanor. The large selection can take a minute to look through, but it is part of what makes this place stand out, giving you the chance to explore different combinations on each visit. Daddy's Dairy is a great spot for dessert, whether you are stopping in for a quick milkshake or planning to explore their huge variety of ice cream flavors. The quality of the ice cream, generous portions, and welcoming atmosphere make it easy to see why it is a local favorite, offering a classic dessert experience that feels both nostalgic and satisfying. read more

Daddy’s Dairy - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Norwood, Massachusetts

Dirty store and chaotic ordering process. Ice cream is average and overpriced. Staff is unfriendly and seem inconvenienced by doing their job. Will not return, I can't believe there are multiple locations of this miserable place. read more

This ice cream shop was super cute! Very spacious inside and lots of outdoor seating as well. The employees working were nice - there were so many choices it took a few minutes to decide . They have soft serve and regular ice cream in many flavors. They also had cookie sandwiches and booze infused ice cream Portions were generous and tasty. As someone else mentioned, it would be nice if they Upgraded the spoons. The spoon was fine for the soft serve sundae but for the scooped ice cream it was hard to dig out a bite, the spoon bent alot and a couple times I was worried it might break read more

Best ice cream around... Norwood and Stoughton have daddy's ice cream locations. They must have 40 different flavors. They give big helpings and a reasonably priced. One of my favorites is butter pecan and I haven't been able to find it at other ice cream shops near me I would compare the quality to Ben & Jerry's ice cream and I am a pretty picky ice cream snob. The lines may be long, but they have several people scooping ice cream and it is well worth the weight. Parking is easy and free both locations. read more

Right around the corner from me, perfect place to get a quick sweet treat as long as it's not peak hours

Daddy's dairy is a true local ice cream shop. They go out of their way to support the local community, they always have something new happening, and they have so many flavors to choose from! I love that their sprinkles are the colors of the local high schools - such a cute thing! Also they have ice cream sandwiches pre-packaged and ready to go - and trust me you need them. Packed in a ziplock bag, they're a must grab. Please never change, you're the best! read more

Show up at 8:45 they close at nine we were in line ready to order girl paid us. No attention I said do you mind if we order she says yeah I guess and then walked away. We finally got our ice cream and sat outside. They close at nine the theater next-door let out hundreds and hundreds of people try to get in and the doors were locked manager. Should at least keep it open till 10 and how do you not have a good attitude working at an ice cream shop? It's ice cream. read more

First time here and we will definitely be back! The line went out the door to this place! So many topping options and so many different kinds of soft serve and hard serve. The choices were endless! We got soft serve birthday cake with a chocolate covered waffle cone. The birthday cake was very unique almost vanilla with birthday cake extract and the sweetness level was perfect, not too sweet. With every bite you got sprinkles and their sprinkles were pretty tasty! They didn't taste like plastic which you get sometimes from adding sprinkles at some ice cream places. Delish! Black raspberry with jimmies oh my goodness! Their Jimmies (chocolate sprinkles) were the real deal! No plastic taste here! The black raspberry was more sweet than tart, but chocolate added to it? So yum! We inhaled our ice creams outside on these cute little park benches. Such a cute spot for couples and families! read more

Good ice cream and a nice atmosphere with the street out front closed down with tables, plus the common right there. Went here with our soccer team and we all enjoyed it. Would come back. Lots of flavors, toppings, options. read more

Great selection of soft serve and regular hard ice cream. They have tons of flavors, toppings, cones, etc and other desserts like frozen yogurt, cookie sandwiches, milkshakes, and ice cream cakes and pies. There are a few tables inside at the moment and a few outside, plenty of space inside for people to stand far apart even while in line as well very safely. Service was great and the staff was super friendly. read more

Always a great stop with my bike group. We typically go there for dessert after leaving. Lewis is across the street. But I took my honey out for an ice cream treat that take as he drove me around to appointments, and I just wanted to give him something special he really loves a variety of ice cream that they sell that even though they're not all there's some dude come from other vendors, such as a Bliss or Crescent Ridge or Robinsons, etc.. But I just asked beforehand because if I had wanted something like this on Crescent Ridge, I would just go directly to the source I'd rather have something that I can't get to like Richardson's from Maine or some other place from New York. But we did have a good time and all the girls are wonderful that work there they're really understanding and supportive. They explain every single ice cream that they have. They explain what comes in stuff was not in stuff and I appreciate that and the flavor variety changes all the time which is nice because you don't wanna get the same stuff all the time. If you don't eat downtown Norwood, you can still stop by there and get ice cream and sit outside on the patio tables that are at the common just a really good relaxing environment for both yourself and the children. They have many locations including stoughton, as well as Braintree and others. I only have gone to those three. read more

Daddy’s Dairy - A kiddie size frozen,pudding in a cup - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Norwood, Massachusetts

Good ice cream right in the heart of Norwood, Massachusetts. Cool vibe (no pun intended) and good ice cream. I would definitely recommend here. read more

This place is amazing, so many flavors and they're all really good my literal only complaint (and my reason for reviewing honestly) is please please someone for the love of god fix the bell on the door. it keeps ringing long after someone has walked in and it is literally piercingly annoying to customers (and i imagine the staff too) ESPECIALLY when it's packed with people coming in which it is a lot of the time. I get the point of the bell to make sure staff members know a customer walked in but man i truly can't take it every time i'm in there maybe get a different bell or try to make it so that one doesn't continually shake. anyways, keep up the good ice cream read more

Tried this place when I was in the neighborhood for dinner. It was very busy on a Saturday night. Decor inside is cute. I was overwhelmed by the number of flavors! Ended up getting extreme chocolate and cake batter. It was decent, but nothing special. I liked the chocolate much more than the cake batter, which was way too sweet. I was also surprised to see that the ice cream cartons looked like they were from a wholesaler, as the decorations on the walls refer to the ice cream being homemade? Pretty misleading. Anyway, come here for an ice cream fix (because ice cream can never be bad) but you can get the same thing from a grocery store. read more

Daddy’s Dairy - Extreme chocolate and cake batter - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Norwood, Massachusetts

Thank you to daddy's diary for making my fiancé's delicious birthday cake. I called the Norwood location to make my order and the employee was very helpful. Overall order and pickup was very smooth. I got two flavors(black raspberry and strawberry cheesecake) for a medium sized cake with a cookie crumble center. I thought the pricing was very fair. I really enjoyed the black raspberry and would recommend that flavor again. Eat the strawberry cheesecake flavor first else the black raspberry over powers it. read more

Daddy's dairy is hands down one of the best ice cream places in Norwood, situated right in the heart of downtown Norwood. This has become one of our favorite local spots to grab ice cream be it during the day or late at night. The ice cream selection and choices with all the toppings will amuse you. They have all sorts of flavors and ice creams you can think of, from frozen yogurt to non dairy, no sugar to vegan, soft serves and of course your traditional hard ice cream. The base is your typical cup, cone/ waffle cone. The store is huge, clean and well organized. I've had black raspberry Oreo, chocolate chip, raspberry chocolate truffle and a few more. All of their flavors are delicious. It's great to see all the necessary COVID precautions are in check at this location. Social distancing, face masks and cleanliness were spot on. There's an outdoor seating area opened up though this might be temporary. If you're in Norwood downtown, do try this place. You won't regret it! read more

There were so many flavors to choose from! I got a double scoop of raspberry chocolate truffle and strawberry shortcake crunch, which was about $4.10. I was satisfied. The staff was very patient, giving us samples to try, as my friends and I took just about 15-20 minutes deciding between the many flavors. There was street parking outside and the store was relatively quiet. I'm happy with my overall experience read more

Daddy’s Dairy - double scoop of raspberry chocolate truffle and strawberry shortcake crunch - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Norwood, Massachusetts

Biggest ice cream shop I ever seen lol. Delicious Oreo ice cream sandwiches in the freezer. Have to try. Yummm

An astonishing array of flavors. High-quality ice cream. Cons: The annoying bell on the door. The sound is piercing, possibly loud enough to cause hearing loss for the employees. And it rings just long enough until the next customer to come in. The spoons are the flimsiest plastic known to man. Not that I'm advocating for more plastic, but the whole experience was defined by my trying to scoop a spoonful without snapping the thing in half. A wooden spoon like we used to get in Hoodsies would have been better. I'll definitely go back. Maybe I'll pack my own spoon. read more

We came here on a whim before getting takeout from a nearby restaurant. This place is huge and super cute! There are so many flavors to choose from and they also have a lot of dairy free options as well. I decided on a large to get 3 different scoops of ice cream to try and got strawberry shortcake, cotton candy, and unicorn. I'm really not sure what the unicorn flavor is, but I'm glad it was the smaller scoop I got. It's definitely has a nice swirl of purple with lots of different sprinkles, so very fun to eat. At points it kind of tasted like birthday cake, but other bites were different. This wasn't the best cotton candy I've had, but it still had the super sweet flavor and the beautiful vibrant pink and blue colors. The strawberry shortcake was definitely a winner and the worker there said it was one of her favorite flavors! There was a good ratio of graham crackers to strawberry flavor, so it truly did taste like a strawberry shortcake. All of the ice creams were smooth and creamy and since it was a cold day there wasn't any melting on the drive home. I'd love to go back and try their soft serve and other flavors. They also have a stamp card, so every 10 purchases earns you a free ice cream! read more

We love Daddy's Dairy! Love that there is seating indoors or outdoors. The hours are great too and convenient. Love the downtown Norwood area!! read more

Great ice cream, huge selection, very reasonable prices. The Braintree one is difficult to exit. I prefer the Norwood site

Recently had an ice cream cake from one of the locations and it was amazing! Wish I had to more to say but I would def try this place again. Just wish it was slightly closer. read more

They have so many flavors I was getting heart palpitations just looking at all the options. After trying a few samples, I eventually went with the peanut butter pie hard ice cream (peanut butter base with chocolate chunks). Yum read more

This place is legit the best thing that's happened to Norwood since the breweries moved in. Went for the first time last week and had an ice cream sundae. Hot fudge is On. Point. With this place in town, I'll be able to sleep a little better whenever I hear that another Friendly's is going out of business. Yes, they let dogs in. I love dogs, but I see how this can rub people the wrong way. But what's the big deal? They're not cooking any food there. It's the same idea as dogs being at any of the other local outside ice cream spots. And yes, they have a lot of peanut butter options, so those probably isn't the place to go if you have allergies. read more

So when you go in this place there's a huge sign with arrows that reads "line starts here" so like a moron you get in the long line and wait 20 minutes to get to front where they tell you the line REALLY starts at the other end where there's no sign or anything else that tells you. Then you get to wait another 20 or 30 minutes behind the people who came in after you just to get a ridiculously small sundae for a really high price. It's not like the ice cream is anything special. It's not. Don't think so. I'll go to Furlongs. What a disappointment. read more

Came during COVID and got take-out. It was our first time. Pros: -They're managing social distancing rules well -They have A LOT of flavors (regular ice cream and soft serve) -They have some vegan options -Lovely outdoor area on the town common to enjoy it safely during COVID -Tasty! Cons: -Hard to read all the flavor options in store on their menu. Their website clearly lists flavors, but I wish they said what goes into them. Some of the flavors have creative names that don't give any hint as to what it tastes like (ex: "purple cow" and "superman"). read more

Found Daddy's Dairy while scrolling through ice cream places near me on yelp and I'm so glad I did!! They have a plethora of flavors for both soft and hard serve ice cream so each time you can try something new. There are not many ice cream places that have soft serve other than vanilla or chocolate and they are really missing out. Daddy's Dairy does it right!! read more

Daddy’s Dairy - Mint Oreo and Choc Oreo soft serve twist with sprinkles!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Norwood, Massachusetts

Usually we come to this place and everything is great. I always get a soft serve white chocolate ice cream with white chocolate chips. The people working are great and always give me the correct ice cream. However, today the lady that served me (whose hands are included in the picture) served me wrong TWICE. First, she gave me a hard serve chocolate ice cream. So I told her that I usually get a SOFT serve WHITE chocolate ice cream. Then she came back with soft serve CHOCOLATE ice cream, as pictured. Clearly not a white chocolate ice cream right? Apparently thats false because when I brought it up to her, she said "no thats white chocolate ice cream". I just didnt argue with her anymore and took it since she seemed to be having an attitude as well. Idk if she's new or what, but I'm hoping she gets talked to about this. For additional information, I included a picture of what a WHITE CHOCOLATE ice cream should look like. read more

Told staff there was a hair in one of the buckets behind in display case. Got major attitude from the staff when I told them it was gross for them to pick it out and leave the ice cream there, at least scrape off the top layer or something. It's just gross to me. I will never go back. read more

I was looking up ice cream places near me because one of my favorites is closed due to covid. I came across Daddy's Dairy and was amazed by all the flavor options! It was about a 20 minute drive from my house, but worth it! The staff was super friendly, the only thing is that to get more than one flavor or if you order a waffle bowl you need to order a regular size. This was a little strange because they have so many flavors. I tried the M&M cookie dough which was super good but happened to be giffords fly fishing fudge. I also got mint chip which was great! Most flavors are not Giffords though. I recommend! read more

Don't even bother going 18 minutes before closing! You will stand at the counter and everyone will act like they don't see you and then finally when some one does ask what you would like you will only be told the machines are shut down and cleaned for the night. Save your self the drive! read more

Used to be my absolute favorite place!! Unfortunately the past couple of times I've tried to go they've been cash only. I have suggested to the employee to post about being cash only on their social media or website (or let customers know when they call). Last night rushed to make it before close and was met with a cash only sign. Had to drive 20 minutes to get my ice cream fix!! Related to social media- they are very active on Instagram stories, though neglect to respond to questions in comments from customers. They have also used one of my personal photos of their ice cream without credit or permission ): read more
