Overview

The Milkhouse at Oregon Dairy, nestled along 2900 Oregon Pike in Lititz, Pennsylvania, offers more than just a typical ice cream experience—it’s a vibrant celebration of farm life paired with classic, handcrafted frozen treats. This charming ice cream shop invites visitors into a genuine dairy environment where the sights and sounds of gentle farm animals and lush trees blend seamlessly with the joy of indulging in soft serve and hand-dipped ice cream.

The menu features old-fashioned favorites alongside inventive delights.

Soft serve lovers will appreciate the creamy textures of chocolate, vanilla, and their signature twist, often topped with whipped cream and mixed with your choice of toppings. Those with a sweet tooth can’t miss the Hot Fudge Sundae or the rich, hand-dipped Cookies and Cream Milkshake.

The shaded playground adds to the appeal, creating a full day of fun and relaxation. For visitors, this means not just a quick stop for ice cream but an immersive outing where children and adults can savor farm life firsthand.

The outdoor service window, open primarily during the warmer months, enhances the connection to the dairy’s roots. Sitting outside with a cone in hand while gazing over the picturesque dairy landscape, especially amid the vibrant autumn foliage, creates an experience steeped in tradition, reminiscent of old-fashioned ice cream stands. This setting, combined with a clean and ample outdoor seating area, encourages guests to linger and soak in the peaceful countryside atmosphere.

The Milkhouse at Oregon Dairy also accommodates diverse dietary needs, featuring dairy-free options from well-regarded brands to ensure no one misses out. Beyond ice cream, the onsite restaurant and grocery store enrich the visit, offering more possibilities for a wholesome family outing.

In essence, The Milkhouse is ideal for families, farm enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a timeless ice cream treat with a view into real dairy life.

The reason I love coming to the Oregon dairy is because of the animals. They have too many horses. They have four goats. They have about a dozen rabbits. You can hear all the birds in the trees. It is just a great environment to bring kids and have a fun afternoon. Also, all the ice cream is delicious.

When they say this is the Milkhouse at Oregon Dairy, they aren't kidding. When you order from the outside counter and enjoy your treats outside you can see the dairy from right where you are (and likely smell it too, haha). Do note, the outdoor counter is seasonal and closes during the winter so if enjoying your ice cream outdoors is your thing, plan your visit accordingly. However, definitely come by in the fall during peak fall foliage as you can get some nice views of the dairy in autumn. The outdoor seating area when I was there was nice and clean and plenty of shade for guests. Other than that, it's like those old-time ice cream stands you walk right up to the window from outside and order/receive your ice cream. I rated the food at four stars, but that is likely due to my choice of item being a milkshake made from hand-dipped ice cream more than the quality of the ice cream. The cookies and cream shake I had was really tasty but was a little thin for my preference since it was made from hand-dipped ice cream. But the other items I saw looked really good and they have a nice variety of flavors and treats to go around. I certainly would like to give them another try next summer and try a waffle cone or a sundae. Again, don't be discouraged from my choice of dish as the outside counter at the milkhouse is a great experience to enjoy some ice cream during the warmer months with the dairy in view and great scenery.

We tried the raspberry vanilla twist in a waffle cone and Java milkshake and both were excellent! It’s actually open until 9pm on Sundays. The petting zoo area, play area and grocery store were a huge plus! Would love to visit again

The ice cream was DELISH and reasonably priced. They had DAIRY FREE options which was amazing (they're So Delicious brand ice cream)!! The playground was pretty well shaded and the kids had a blast feeding and petting the animals (bring a few quarters for goat feed!)

Great ice cream and lots of flavors! The coconut almond fudge was one of our favorites. There's also a playground outside and some farm animals. And the grocery store and restaurant are right next to this place as well.

A fun thing to do on a summer evening! We visited the ice cream shop tonight and the children loved the play ground and animals. Such a fun, cute place for children (and adults) to enjoy.
