Always a big hit for us! Following 2020, they updated their store to be a walk up window with a separate pick up window. This makes so much sense, as the interior space for customers was miniscule. There is plenty of outdoor space and seating options to enjoy your ice cream concoction. For those who need it, they now have gluten free cones! They do have Dairy free ice cream options as well as sugar free options. I love that they have your typical flavors, then they have a decent selection of other flavor choices. read more

Not a whole lot to say! First time coming here and the ice cream is great! From what I understand it's all homemade and fresh and the prices are reasonable too in my opinion. Everyone in my group enjoyed what they got. Can't wait to go back! read more

Dairyhaus - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rockton, Illinois

Great service, great location, great portions! The landscape around the building has improved since last year. Great work! Price, like every other place has gone up. We went here after a so/so meal in Beloit. We highly recommend Dairyhaus!!! read more

The ice cream was great. The building is quaint but they have out seating only and you order at a walk up window. I asked for a taste of a flavor before buying but was told they didn't do that. No problem .....but, when we were leaving we noticed a sign that said they sold flights of ice cream for tasting.......i wish the server would've mentioned that, like, sorry no but we do sell flights ...... If you're undecided on a flavor - gay a flight! read more

Dairyhaus has some amazing homemade ice cream. I opted for the restaurant week flight to try multiple flavors, and got a pint to go of the coffee ice cream which they partnered with Rockford roasting company. All of the flavors were so delicious, worth my 25 minute drive. No indoor seating, only outdoor seats. You just order at the window. Service was quick. This will definitely be a great summertime spot, just a little difficult if you want ice cream in the winter like me (we ate it in the car to stay warm). I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any flavor here. Photo: Chocolate, chocolate cookie dough, strawberry, red velvet cheesecake (which may I add a partnered with Halo bake shop on). I love that this local business partners with other local businesses to create flavors. read more

I have been enjoying ice cream from Dairyhaus for almost 20 years and they have never let me down. Truly delicious. Blue moon is great.

I'm known to travel far and wide for home made ice cream. Dairy hay's is in the middle of Rockton, a quaint town with tons of antebellum homes (from what I can tell). Excellent quality. It adds 20 minutes to a trip I make frequently, but I'd gladly travel 45 minutes to visit. It's just another way to measure. Try it any time you're near Rockford. Scoops are quite generous. read more

I absolutely love the ice cream here all the flavors and variety make it hard to pick just one! They also have the best staff they're always so friendly. read more

Diary Haus ice cream is delicious. Love the venue style with old school order and pickup windows, and eat outside at the picnic tables. Sat. we got a couple cones and walked to the live music just down the block. Sun. it's the perfect after-church treat location. We never let a summer pass without a few trips to Dairy Haus! read more

Great little ice cream shop, walk up window with a beautiful garden area for eating. Great selection and nice staff. read more

Dairyhaus - All gone! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rockton, Illinois

Family loves this place my pocket book does not! Nice treat with usually friendly staff

Very good ice cream. Usually a line on weekends but worth the wait. Highly recommended

Tastiest homemade ice cream in the area. Totally worth the visit! The place has many options and switches their flavors. Sometimes the line can be a bit long but they usually are quick with service read more

It is a definite MUST to stop at dairyhaus every time I'm in the Rockton area! Their ice cream is amazing and their flavors is always changing..this time I got the mocha mud and it was delicious to say the least. Also a single scoop is more like a double or triple scoop!!! They are verrry generous with their scoops! I also love their outdoor seating, since it can get real busy at times with even a line out the door! They also have shakes, sundaes, etc. and a freezer full of different ice cream flavor pints you can buy to take home! read more

Dairyhaus - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rockton, Illinois

Great ice cream and location! The workers are very nice and my family and I love getting our ice cream here.

Great ice cream flavors, everyone is so nice! Try it, you will love it! Freshly made with new flavors weekly.

Dairyhaus is always busy. Handcrafted ice cream at its finest. They handle their crowds with patience and a smile! I had the Rockford Roasting Co Coffee ice cream with a scoop of chocolate almond, a jr. size on a sugar cone. The combo together is ridiculously delicious. There are several different types of cones to choose from, including chocolate dipped. There is a pretty good sized menu, so if you don't know exactly what you want, it can be overwhelming. There is no seating inside the small building, but plenty of picnic tables and benches and a bike rack outside. read more

Dairyhaus - 1/2 German chocolate, 1/2 Rockford Roasting Co - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rockton, Illinois

A Rockton gem! It's so good! Fresh homemade ice cream and it's local. It really doesn't getter better than this!

The ice cream is delicious and service is good but the ice cream is quite expensive. I would still recommend going either way.

This place has the best ice cream hands down the vibe it gives off tho the look I do miss being able to go inside on the hot days though

This ice cream shop is fantastic!!! I absolutely loved that this shop has mastered the art of a waffle cone fold! Why haven't other shops made this change. So many businesses seem to never push the norm and rely past experiences. The young people that work for this business are so friendly and polite. They were patient with me asking flavor questions. I'm so indecisive ‍. It's been a pleasure to watch this business grow. You can find some of the patron's favorite flavors in the local supermarkets!! I wish I would have taken a picture to show you the beautiful treat. It was totally worth the calories. read more

Short, sweet, and HONEST review of the absolute BEST ice cream shop in the area. I absolutely love this place! The experiences and memories made with the family are some of the best. Brent and his staff bring a unique and friendly experience with a small town feel with every visit. Favorite items: Rockton Road, Peppermint Pattie, Salty Carmel Cashew, and the home made waffle cones. As always, try this place out for yourselves and make your own opinions. Eat local. read more

Dairyhaus in Rockton Il has the BEST homemade icecream! Too bad they're not open all year.

High end local ice cream manufacturer that I really love. Not a cheap/discount place. Highest quality product snd service from a local business are the reasons you come here. Well, that and putting on 20 pounds. read more

Locally owned and operated and absolutely the best ice cream anywhere. Super fun environment and all the workers are always incredibly happy and upbeat. It's just a really fun and inexpensive place to go! Great place for all ages! read more

Who doesn't love dairy Haus. So many amazing flavors. Super friendly staff and of course Brent is pretty amazing! My fav is the Dairy Haus special sundae. Yum! read more

Best ice cream in my hometown area! I've been going here since I was a kid and stop by every summer when I'm home. The Dairy Haus makes their own ice cream on site and always has a ton of rotating flavors. If you can't find your favorite that day, you might get lucky and find it in their pints-quarts freezer. They have something for everyone - from homemade ice cream, sundaes, soft serve, blizzards (called flurries here!) and even ice cream for your pup! They also make their own waffle cones, which you can add to your ice cream for $0.70. The ice cream is pricier than what you might find elsewhere, but so is the quality & the prices are Very competitive with other more fancy, artisan ice cream shops. You can't go wrong with any of their flavors, but highly recommend the wedding cake, apple crunch, and any of the sundaes made with homemade ice cream of your choice! read more

I've been coming here for years and it gets better each time i come! What the new owner has done with it is absolutely awesome. Feels like a little slice of home and some of the best ice cream you'll ever have. My go to item would be the s'mores sundae or the wedding cake ice cream they make. SOOO delicious. They have such a wide variety of ice creams and toppings, something for everyone! read more

This charming ice cream shop is seriously the best in northern Illinois. Go there and be welcomed by the friendly staff, all the ice cream flavors you could ever want or need and enjoy a delicious treat on a hot summer afternoon/evening . Highly recommend . read more

Dairyhaus - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rockton, Illinois

Great ice cream and always a good variety. The employees are mostly younger teens - but they are great and do a terrific job.

Fantastic ice cream. Salted caramel cashew is outstanding. This is what you want in an ice cream. Rich, decadent and yet not too sweet. No artificial taste either. read more

No thanks I'll pass. The Ice cream is nothing I haven't seen before, the owner gave me terrible customer service on more than one occasion, and does not provide a friendly environment. The prices are a joke, I mean who would spend so much for a less than meager portion of ice cream. Overall this place is merely the result of a lack of competition in the area. Do yourself a favor and get McDonalds soft serve, more cream for your buck! read more

Best homemade ice cream ever!!! Usually quick service but can get busy because it's so popular.

I came back here Easter Sunday. Yes, they were open. Till 9PM!! (this was the first time they decided to be open all day, but they might not do it again) This time they had Wedding Cake ice cream. Get. It. If you were the type of kid who used to lick the beaters when your mom made cake., or if you're the kind of adult who licks the beaters when you bake... you'll thank me. :) read more
