I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for…HK Dairy Barn!
(July 5, 2019) — On a recent summer evening, we decided to take a little trek to the HK Dairy Barn. We deliberately ate a lighter dinner-than-usual in order to save room for the epic amounts of ice cream we were planning to consume. And we are glad we did.
It is pure serendipity to have HK Dairy Barn in our community. In point of fact, it is beyond wonderful – on many counts.
First, the venue. HK Dairy Barn has a generous swath of parking. Just be careful as you search for a parking spot: children and various canine friends may be toddling and running about enjoying their ice cream! The tables and outdoor seating are MOO-rvelous. Truly. The tables are decorated in festive cow spots of black and white, as are the benches. The atmosphere is immediately inviting and family-friendly, as kind faces gather around the tables or stand in line awaiting their orders, chatting and laughing amongst themselves.
Second, the people. Although there was quite a line of hungry people waiting for ice cream, the people working behind the counter window greeted each customer warmly, promptly took the order, and provided efficient service. All three of our ice cream orders were filled in less than 2 minutes! Indeed, the line moved quickly.
Third, the ice cream. The all-important ice cream! The flavors we had that evening were caramel espresso bean, toasted coconut and vanilla soft-serve. There are different ways one can eat the ice cream: kid-size in a cup or cone (soft-serve available – great especially for the little ones!); small and large cups; and they also offer waffle cones! The ice cream was spectacularly tasty. The caramel espresso bean was perfectly espresso-y and flavorful, and the caramel was generous throughout. The toasted coconut tasted like summer: refreshing and tropical. The vanilla soft-serve was just the right amount of sweetness. Of course, these flavors are only the tip of the ice…berg? This ice cream heaven is chock full of other tantalizing flavors and ice cream sundae options as well. In addition, ice cream in various sizes is available to purchase for enjoyment at home; finally, custom cakes are available to order.
So, journey on down to HK Dairy Barn. You will not regret it, neither will your taste buds. Wonderful people. Great town. Happy summer. And yes, deliciously yummy ice cream!
