5/5 Stars -- Ohio's Ice Cream Legend…read more By far the best place in Ohio to get fresh, amazing ice cream. I mean, Toft's Dairy has like 50 flavors--seriously, there's something for everyone. You can grab a cone, a cup, or even buy ice cream to take home for the family. And it's not just ice cream--they have milk, specialty drinks, and even fun merch like t-shirts. My personal favorite? Peanut Butter Cup + Peanut Butter Pretzel--absolute perfection. Creamy, nutty, salty, sweet... all the things you want in a summer treat. Sizes? They've got three, but honestly, the small is perfect: enough to satisfy that ice cream craving without going overboard. Medium is basically a full meal, so pace yourself. What makes it extra special for me: we know someone who works there (we met her at Kalahari), and she loves giving suggestions on flavor combos. Her tips always take a cone from great to legendary. And of course, there's the Cedar Point connection--stopping at Toft's after a day on the rides or after a big sporting event is pure nostalgia. Sticky fingers, huge smiles, and ice cream that tastes like summer memories. Bottom line: Toft's Dairy isn't just ice cream--it's a tradition, a memory, and hands-down the best sweet spot in Sandusky. You go once, and you'll be back again and again.

After a great lunch at Jolly Roger I was headed back towards Cleveland and wanted to grab some ice…read morecream; Toft Dairy had popped up in my online feed recently so I figured I would give them a try. I have had Toft's ice cream a couple of times before, but the scoop shop experience can always be different. This location is actually there headquarters, factory and the scoop shop. The building has a covered patio out front, there are some cow statues and an original dairy cart out front. Inside they have a large service area with a huge amount of flavors, plus coolers with packed ice cream and ice cream pies. I ordered a medium sized cup with Banana Foster and Caveman Chocolate ice creams. The cup was $7.50 which seemed a bit expensive until I saw the portion size, this was really about 4 scoops of ice cream. The ice cream is nice and smooth with a nice texture and mouthfeel. The banana foster ice cream was slightly sweet and had a mild banana flavor I did not taste the advertised burnt sugar swirl. The Caveman Chocolate was very good with a rich dark chocolate ice cream and a nice amount of chocolate truffles, although again I did not taste the thick fudge swirls. Toft's has some very good ice cream, the scoop shop lacks some of the charm of other ice cream places, not too surprising since it is part of the factory. The ice cream is a bit expensive, but the portions are big. Probably the most flavor choices I have seen at an ice cream place.

It's an outdoor ice cream shack with good parking and a limited amount of outdoor seating. They close at 10pm, turning the lights off if you're still outside munching. They have a diverse treats menu (some savory options too) at affordable prices. We ended up ordering soft serves (mix of chocolate and vanilla) on cones. Note that they don't have the hard scoop ice cream and the there are only three soft serve flavors with options to mix them. They were tasty and the portions were good too! With the nature of the local weather and environment, there were a lot of little flies and spiders around, but mainly around the shack itself and the surrounding fence, so they shouldn't interfere with you while eating. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area.

They do have a good value on the Ice cream Taco for 6.99. You get 2 huge scoops on the waffle shell plus 2 toppings & whipped cream and cherries. The server was a nice young lady who gave us some samples.. like Brown butter bourbon truffle, bananas foster, Living Dangerous. They do have the best variety I've seen. Their Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake is perfect. She even threw in a 3rd topping since we were stick between Blueberry sauce, peanut butter sauce & pecans.

This is an old-fashioned side of the road ice cream stand that has whatever you could dream of - hard ice cream and soft serve and so many food items from hotdogs to walking tacos to shredded chicken sandwiches to fried mushrooms and so much more. I personally am a soft serve girl and there are very few flavor combinations in this world that I love more than peanut butter and chocolate. On this my most recent trip this summer, I had the Nutter Butter sundae. The Nutter Butter sundae is Chocolate ice cream topped with peanut butter fluff, peanuts, whipped cream, a cherry and a Nutter Butter cookie. I'm sure you can tell by the description that this was a sugar overload, but delicious. I also got a pup cup for my pup, which is a small bit of vanilla ice cream with a dog treat on top. The ice cream was delicious and we had really good service my only gripe is the prices are a bit high. I paid $2.50 for a dog cup of ice cream - I just remember when that used to be like $.50 but I guess that's inflation for you. Overall, this is a great place with good ice cream and a nostalgic feel.
