I SCREAM u SCREAM! We all SCREAM for icecream! You've come to the pinnacle icecream place - Denville Dairy! The line was nearly out the door. So this must be one of the best IceCream places for miles, and IT IS! When we came in & got our ticket, we were # 56. The # they had served so far was 35! So it gave us a few min to walk up & down the streets to view all the cute stores. After about 10 min they called our #~ we felt like, holy cow! What fast service! I had the mint chocolate chip w hot fudge. But by the time I was able to sit down on their bench in the store, my hot fudge had mostly melted my IceCream quite fast. So I went to the counter to ask for half a scoop so I wasn't eating icecream soup. The girls behind the counter said to ask JOHN, an owner(his dad is also an owner) & when I showed him my melted icecream & that I would pay for an extra scoop, and you know what JOHN said? He said they can't add it to my existing cup & turned around (to my surprise & delight) scooped up a "healthy size scoop" into a sept cup, ON HIM, $0!!!!! I told my husband- omg, now he has a customer for life! So cool! That one act of kindness was sooo nice. And we chatted (even tho it was soo busy - he took the time to answer my questions about the how long it take to a big jug/gallon container and he said 15 min- from start to finish! And he said he loves his job bc he can make as many flavors/combos he can think of & it turns out to be a real creative process. I asked about catering & they don't do that, but you can order as many gallons as you want. He even shared how the NY Giants (I think that was the team-lol) ordered a BUNCH of gallons for an event they had! He & all his employees "the girls" were soooo nice. And the icecream? I've never tasted ice cream that was so creamy & the choc pieces/chip were to die for! Not like little tiny pieces and they weren't super hard, just the right size & melted in your mouth like a dream on a chocolate river! I'd be remiss to give Denville Dairy anything under 5 And bc they sell a superior product, they are super busy, the girls are super nice & good at what they do! On a weekend you should plan to have 8-10 min in line & as far as parking, you may need 15 min to find it. But bc they serve quickly - chances are parking will be available quicker than you think. But during the Summer days I think parking can be a challenge- on Sunday night- even w a full house. It was a breeze to order! Thank you John for a yummy superior product (ice scream) made w ALL NATURAL ingredients! Cheers- Ur Cust 4 Life I SCREAM FIR ICE CREAM read more

Went to Denville Dairy on a Sunday afternoon and, though it was packed, our wait time to order wasn't more than 10 minutes. The place is somewhat big and it does have a section for seating, but there are also benches outside which is where most people end up eating their ice cream. We got the mint chocolate chip, which was really good - 8.5/10-, and the vanilla crunch, which was okay - there wasn't much "crunch" but rather just a lot of fudge-. Overall, a solid place if you're in the area! read more

What can I say? Finger licking, superb, laudable, meritorious...... I've had ice cream in many states and for many years. Some were too fatty for my tastes. Some were somewhat tasteless. The ice cream here, after 3 visits is exceptional. Among the best I have ever had. read more

My friend and I had dinner nearby and after strolling around the most charming downtown, headed into Denville Dairy. We quickly realized that the entire town loves their ice cream and after taking a number, settled in for a brief wait. That gave us time to decide on the perfect store made ice cream flavor. The woman that took our order was pleasant and efficient. The small size is a solid amount of ice cream flavor, they limit you to one flavor until you hit the medium size. That allowed me to truly taste the cherry vanilla on its own. Very high quality! My friend enjoyed the coffee Oreo flavor. Denville Dairy is the kind of ice cream spot that every town needs! read more

Ice cream was crazy delicious and they have a very nice selection of flavors and products to go. Definitely reminded me of being a classic shoreline ice cream shop when I was a kid. A bit expensive when considering I got 2 kiddie cups and 2 small cones and it was just over $20...but, experiences... Can't wait to go back. read more

PROS: ice cream was good, strong variety, clean, staff was friendly CONS: no tables to sit at, just some stone bench OVERALL: as long as you're okay with the sitting arrangements, I recommend this place read more

Loved the mint chocolate chip hard ice cream. We got a small with chocolate sprinkles. The line moved quick and there were plenty of people enjoying their ice cream inside and outside. The ice cream was super thick and creamy and had a nice kind flavor, plenty of chocolate chips and was not too sweet. It cost over $6 which I thought was a lot at first but the small was very big and shareable. I got full about halfway through and couldn't finish. I would love to try to move flavors read more

Finally made it to Denville Dairy on Fathers Day after always being near the area and never realizing it was right there. The place was crowded, but no wait. They have a lot of flavors to choose from, plus sugar free and vegan options. I tried to order a small of two flavors but was told it had to be a medium cup. No problem. I got coffee and graham slam. The coffee was ok, but the graham slam was epic! I felt I got a decent amount of ice cream for my $8 cup. My daughter had soft served vanilla in a cup and my father in law had a scoop of hard vanilla on a cone. Both looked pretty pitiful in the amount scooped. But both said their ice cream was good so I guess they were fine with it. They take credit cards. $20 for two smalls and one medium. Was it pretty. good? Yes. Did I feel it was worth the price? No. Am I happy I tried it? Yes. Will I rush to go back? No. read more

They're on the list of best ice cream places in New Jersey and one taste will tell you why. The ice cream is outstanding and, even more impressive, are the variety of flavors that they offer. If you're diabetic or on a reduced calorie diet, they have sugar-free ice cream, which doesn't taste like the standard ice cream, but is still satisfying. I've had the coffee and it's not terrible. Erin, who helped me at the counter, couldn't have been nicer. She was very patient and had such a great demeanor. Be prepared to wait on a warm day as the place can get packed. read more

Denville Dairy is a small-to-medium shop with a lot of energy and charm. They've got a full team keeping the line moving, even when it's busy. Tons of flavors to choose from--both hard and soft serve. I went with cherry vanilla and a salted caramel variation, and both were super creamy and delicious. Perfect treat for the beautiful Easter weekend weather! read more

We paid a visit to Denville Dairy for our guys night and it was incredible. The store is super clean, and looks like your classic ice cream shop. The staff were all super friendly and accommodating allowing us to sample flavors we thought we might like. The ice cream itself, was some of the best I've ever had. I got the snowball flavor which was a mix of coconut flavored ice cream with marshmallow and pieces of chocolate cake. This was one of the most flavorful and creamy cups of ice cream I've ever had. Top 5 ice cream experience of mine for sure. This place is 30 minutes from me but the ice cream is so good that it's worth the drive! read more

This was a small spot with an extremely long line on a hot weekend summer night. They had a numbering system for the ordering which worked well. Besides a number of different flavors of ice cream, they had a lot of variety of it such as pies, sandwiches, cakes, etc. I had a kiddie cup ($3.25) of chocolate marshmallow. This was very good and flavorful. There was an ideal balance of chocolate and marshmallow taste. The chocolate was not too overpowerful. The ice cream as a whole was very creamy and fulfilling. I also tried the Denville flood mudd, which was a seasonal flavor. It was made up of chocolate ice cream with chocolate whipped cream, chocolate covered peanuts, cookie crunch, and homemade brownies. This was solid as well. Somehow, there was not too much of a chocolate overload. It just all worked together. I just did not like the brownie. Will I go back? Yeah. read more

Great food! Every one was welcoming and friendly. Cute and cozy. Very clean and perfect bathrooms

Came here for the first time three weeks ago after being recommended by numerous people. I ended up getting an ice cream flavor called American Pie which was made with real strawberries and blueberries, which was super refreshing during the brutal heat. One of the biggest sewing points to me which I'll be going back for is the Sunkist soda fountain (my favorite soft drink). The service was good, it seems like a very well oiled machine. I was surprised to see so many chest freezers, assuming they sell a lot of ice cream! read more

Cute little shop. I saw crowds outside while walking in the area, so I figured it would be good for a tasty treat. You take a number from the machine and wait your turn. I think the crowds seemed large just because impatient children were everywhere. Staff seemed to manage the crowds well. I had a single scoop of strawberry cheesecake, and it was tasty. Perfect for an after dinner treat. read more

The line to place our order was long, yet it went fast because of the majority of people were connected thru dance, sports and music programs. The line was finally up to the ordering part. So we bid adeu to the group and blocked out the noise around us.The menu is huge but manageable, we were in the the payment line which made it feel like a walk in the park.We arrived back home within 10 minutes, and we got our order from mom, who also gave us our 2 napkin quota. Enjoying our ice cream, we dove into a movie in blissful silence. read more

Been coming here for years. Great array of flavors and different options! My favorite flavor has always been "obi-wan cannoli" but I love their milkshakes, sundaes, and the classic chocolate and vanilla twist on a cone. As a long time customer, I can highly recommend their ice cream cakes! My family gets them for many occasions. Prepare for long lines during the summer months. But they are always efficient and friendly. Thank you Denville Dairy for always being the best ice cream spot around! read more

One of the best ice creams I have ever eaten, it is a typical American ice cream parlor with many years of tradition, excellent quality of ice cream, the Better than I've tried until the Moment in the USA. The attention of the staff is friendly, you will always find queues but I assure you that the wait is worth it, my favorite ice cream the vanilla peanut butter. read more

Cute place. Ice cream was tasty. It's a worthy ice cream place. People were nice but not pushing the customer experience. Seating is one big bench that wasn't diligently cleaned/picked up. Nothing prevents the overall experience. Go for it for a quick treat during the day. Wouldn't pick this spot for a cute ice cream first date, but good for a regular spot to take kids. read more

Ordered: Small Thick Shake (~$5): with banana and crushed Oreos Aya's take: The banana/Oreo flavor combination is elite. Ever since I discovered it, there's really no going back. I was happy to see that they had real bananas to use which made the shake taste so much better. The artificial banana flavor is so far off, so I definitely recommend getting real banana (as long as they have it). Super creamy, cooling, and very filling. After a big lunch, this shake was my dinner and dessert. Great spot and I will be back! read more

Not only is the ice cream consistently great and one of my local favorites, but I have a daughter with celiac and the young gentleman helping us last weekend took time to work with us to ensure we would get a flavor that would keep her from getting sick and knew to use a fresh scoop and a separate tub. Could not speak more highly, and definitely look forward to getting back multiple times this summer. I don't know his name, but he's a superstar! read more

I originally drove to Denville for bingsu, but Bubbles in Paradise doesn't serve bingsu on Tuesdays. They said it was because the kitchen was closed, but...you don't need to cook anything to make bingsu lol. Anyways, it worked out fine because Denville Dairy was two doors down and ice cream was close enough to satisfy my sweet tooth craving! HOW TO ORDER: They use a "take a number" system using a ticket dispenser. You take a number at the entrance and they call out your number when they're ready to take your order. PRICE: We paid $10 exactly (with tax included) for 2 small cups as pictured. Pretty standard pricing for a local mom and pop ice cream shop, if not slightly pricier, but I'm not surprised with inflation of pricing at food establishments nowadays due to COVID. WHAT WE ORDERED: I got Mint Oreo and my boyfriend got Coffee Chocolate Chip. Both were very creamy, delicious, and refreshing! ADDITIONAL PROS: Masks are optional for those who are vaccinated. They allow you to try samples before ordering! This was my first time at Denville Dairy so I can't speak for any of their other flavors or offerings (ice cream cakes, ice cream sandwiches, etc), but it was very busy when we went on Tuesday evening so I'm assuming they have a great reputation! read more

So last week it was my co-worker's birthday and we needed a cake to celebrate it at work. I had suggested an ice cream cake the closest to our job is Denville dairy. The woman on the phone was very pleasant and took my order. I was able to print out a coupon to use towards it and when I arrived to pick it up I was promptly served and the server was very nice and even gave me a card that had rewards so after 10 cakes you get one free this was my 1st of 10! The cake when I saw it was beautiful and full of happiness it was a standard cake vanilla/ chocolate in chocolate crumbs w fudge and decorated very beautifully. So thank you then we'll dairy for making our friend's birthday special. read more

We stopped by Denville on our half way back to Queens from Tannersville, PA for dinner with hunger and tiredness. We took a walk after dinner and were surprised with the crowd in front of Denville Dairy. After checking the great reviews on Yelp, we decided to give it a try. Firstly, customers need to take a number sheet and are only allowed to enter when the staff calls your number. The safety procedure wasn't perfect but it ran smoothly. We had their mango ice cream in size small. The ice cream was flavorful, light and perfect as an after-dinner dessert. They also serve low fat ice cream and ice cream sandwiches in the freezer.. The staff was friendly, lovely and acted quickly. Overall, it was a great and comforting experience to end our bad day happily. read more

I may be biased because I grew up close to Denville, but this place has THE best soft-serve I've ever had (and I've had a lot of ice cream). The texture is so light that it's almost like Cool Whip, but with a much better flavor. I don't know how they do it. No matter how many great hard flavors they have, I almost always get a vanilla soft-serve with rainbow sprinkles when I come here. It's a must-try. Also, very random, but they also do the BEST fudgy crunchies in their ice cream cakes. They have a hard flavor, Vanilla Crunch Swirl, that includes the same crunchies -- a very close second to the vanilla soft-serve. Inexplicably good. On summer nights, you're guaranteed to have to take a number -- this place gets packed. It moves fairly quickly considering how many bodies you see in the store because they usually have like five or six kids working behind the counter at once, but if you don't want to wait, go early. read more
