Cherry Top Dairy Bar

Went for the large root beer float, came with their vanilla soft serve. The ice cream actually lasts and doesn’t melt away into the root beer. The soft serve was very thick and creamy. Float was a good choice on a hot day. A large will take you awhile to finish too.

My moose tracks tasted over churned (tasted gritty). Their vanilla soft serve was very good. Wish they had more of a variety in the soft serve options. Located in a good area for a quick stop for a cone.

Creamy smooth Ice cream, flavor specials each week, and all the normal favorites. Reasonable prices, and great service, all make a great little Ice cream shop. No indoor seating, is the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Everything else is just peachy!
Plus, they sell farm fresh eggs at $ 4 a dozen.

Great soft serve: tons of choices, special soft serve flavors of the week, Thumanns hot dogs, picnic tables and a field, and nice people. What else is there in the world?

I just moved to the area and this has fast become one of my favorite stop-​offs for a sweet treat.
When I drive from New Paltz to visit my family in Newburgh, I always pass Cherry Top on Route 32. The sign is enticing, as it always has a different flavor (or two) of soft serve each week. Last week I had the Pumpkin Pie & Lemon Custard swirled together, and it was insane. It reminded me a lot of Egg Nog, in a great way. They had a Cappuccino flavor that I really regret not trying a couple of weeks ago. I
’m going to pass by again today and needless to say, I’ll probably stop and get a cone even if it’s 40 degrees out.
P. S. They also have tons of delicious-​sounding Hershey’s hard ice cream flavors, and the prices are reasonable. I got a small soft serve twist cone (which was a reasonable size — not Lilliputian and not gargantuan) for about $ 2.50. Totally normal prices, and the employees are friendly.

Whenever my friends/​family and I are visiting nearby New Paltz, we almost always make a stop at Cherry Top. I always fall back on an old favorite: vanilla/​chocolate soft serve twist with a side (yep) of peanuts. A few summers ago they also had a black raspberry ice cream that redefined, well, my life ^_​^. Hope they churn this flavor out again soon.

on the highway leading to minnewaska state preserve i was excited that we would be passing a roy rogers, knowing that i’d get to have a nice fast food roast beef sandwich before our hike. sadly, the directions i used were different than the last time and we ended up taking route 32 and missing our desired pre-​hiking sustenance.
it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as we saw a huge sign in front of a roadside ice cream joint that read «We have strawberry ice cream!» needless to say, we didn’t pass it up.
i ordered the strawberry milkshake, without even looking at the rest of the menu. i’ve never had strawberry soft serve and while it was good, not overly sweet and not too rich, i noticed something on the menu as i was waiting for my shake: the smores milkshake.
i quickly justified the second milkshake in my mind: it was going to be a five hour hike; i haven’t been high on sugar in a while; and, more importantly, SMORES!
it proved to be a good decision. the shake consisted of vanilla soft serve, hot fudge sauce, marshmallows, and nabisco graham crackers. the bits of graham crackers in the shake brought it into over-​the-​top territory. firm in the beginning, and slowly softening over the time it took to complete the shake. the small here is probably more like a medium at most other places. this is one of the top milkshake experiences i’ve had. if you’re in the area GET THIS MILKSHAKE! i’ll be back, but next time i probably won’t be double fisting two sugary concoctions.

A local cute lil ice cream place we just had to stop at.
It wasn’t hard to miss with a giant sundae on top!
They offer soft serve, hershey’s ice cream flavors, ice cream cakes, a tempting smores ice cream sandwich, and even ice cream for doggies!
The prices were good and service was great. The teenage boy wrote down all our orders before taking our payment and then served us quickly.
