Central Dairy Ice Cream Parlor

Although the ice cream isn't quite as great as it was during the days of the local dairy, it's still superior to what you'll find anywhere else! And the prices? They are unbeatable! Combined with the charming, nostalgic atmosphere of the original ice cream shop, this place truly is one of the best on Earth!

The best spot for ice cream in Central Missouri! This retro 50's-style ice cream parlor not only serves delicious treats but also offers charming service reminiscent of that era.

This place is fantastic and very affordable! The line was long, but there were plenty of staff assisting customers with their ice cream orders. The portion sizes were generous, with a scoop and a half on a cone for just $2.50. The milkshakes also looked incredible!

Old fashioned environment and my friends loved the ice cream. I didn't see any vegan options but it was very busy so I couldn't look for long. Cute environment!

Visiting Central Dairy feels like stepping back in time! The location itself is a charming spot to enjoy. With so many delicious ice cream flavors and great prices, it's no surprise there's often a line out the door! But don't worry—the staff at Central Dairy are quick and efficient, making sure everyone gets their ice cream in no time. We'll definitely be back the next time we visit Jefferson City! I’d give it a 6/5!
