Byrne Dairy Store

This place has the best ice cream, soft serve and milkshakes in Rochester, and for that reason, it’s very popular with Celebs. I can prove it. Usher told his fans to «Let it Byrne», Savage Garden said «Crash and Byrne», while Blue Oyster Cult recommended «Byrne For You.» The Talking Heads said «Byrne Down The House», while Finch said «What It Is To (Eat Ice Cream From) Byrne.» Muse had «Sunbyrne», and of course Johnny Cash fell into a «Byrne Ring Of Fire.»
What to get: Black Raspberry Hard Ice Cream, Black Raspberry Soft Serve. Coffee hard ice cream. Choc shake.
What else: Absolutely everything here is amazing. Best soft serve, best hard ice cream, and best shake *anywhere in the USA*. Seriously.
Is it expensive: Are you kidding? 2.25 for a huge (kiddie) soft serve, 2.50 for a (huge) single ice cream scoop, and under $ 3 for a milkshake bigger than my thingy. Not only is this the cheapest shake in town, it’s the best one!
Seriously though: I drive here from near Buffalo (45 mins) at least once a week for treats. That’s how good it is.
What do you call a girl who sets fire to the written demands for payment that she gets in the mail?: Byrne-​a-​dette.
I was amazed to discover how damn good Byrne Dairy is. It’s unbelievably delicious. This is honestly one of the best ice cream, custard and shake places in the whole country. I like it a tiny bit better than Abbott’s and Rita’s, and a lot better than every other chain.
There are only 2 Byrnes in ROC 585 and this is the better one. They have a window, serving fresh Byrne Ice Cream, Shakes, and Custard. They are famous for their Black Raspberry flavor and it’s *incredible*. It sounds awful but it’s orgasmically perfect.
The service here is usually excellent although they don’t always have the flavour you want. There’s a lady that works here that is such an angel and makes such great recs. Sometimes in summer there is a line. But it’s well worth the wait because the products are incredible!
I’ve tried their hard coffee ice cream which is one of the best hard ice creams I’ve ever tasted. I’ve tried their chocolate shake which is one of the top 5 shakes I’ve ever had in my life (and I’m shake obsessed so that is a huge compliment). It’s the best shake in the WNY region and that’s a massive statement too since we have so many good homemade ones. The Black Raspberry shake is amazing. Get it made with hard ice cream. Always get your shakes made with hard ice cream, not soft serve. Tryst me. I mean trust me. Genuine typo.
The Blueberry Honey Graham ice cream is just okay. The Wake Up Coffee one is just okay, the regular coffee is better.
I’ve also had the Black Raspberry Hard Ice Cream and Soft Custard, and both were so good, so creamy, so fresh, so perfect, they cannot be described in words. You simply must get out here and try these. They are *incredible*. The cones are also very fresh and tasty.
So if the sun is Byrne-​ing you up and you need to cool down, this is where you need to come. Not literally come. We can take care of that later. If you want to. I won’t even charge you. This time. Next time I’ll charge you double. To balance things out. Sort of like giving away free heroin to college kids to get them hooked. Not that I would do that. I never give away heroin. I have to at least make a little profit off it, right?
So it’s the freshest product you’ll ever eat or drink, dairy wise. And moreover, it’s *the* best Ice Cream place, *the* best shakes, and *so* underrated. Also *the* best value for money. Please come out here and try it for yourself.
We’ll finish with a song:
Watch out, if it’s ice cream you’re after
Cool baby, so heavy you’ll get fatter
I’m an ordinary guy
Byrne brings down the house
Hold tight, wait ’til the ice cream’s melted
Hold tight, we’re in for sticky fingers
There has got to be a way
To get Byrne near my house
Here’s your ice cream, choose your cone
Time for slurping it all up
Creamy goodness is here
Rochester is not too far,
Let your fam know where you are
Fightin’ humidity with ice cream, huah
All wet, hey you might need a napkin
Gulpdown, eat ice cream in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty calories
Byrne is in the house
Omg Chili is a place? Sometimes I like to treat myself
Gonna come from this taste
People on their way to work, scuse me I’m here for a shake
I put Byrne in first place!

This used to be my go to place to grab gas on my commute back and forth to Buffalo as it was the the cheapest place around. I now have a Delta Sonic card so I do not pick up gas here anymore (unless I didn’t plan accordingly to make it back to the Delta Sonic without pushing my car). I do still stop here often to pick up a snack or ice cream. They have a great little deli inside, always have some food ready to grab quick from the warmer right by the cash register, and their ice cream is awesome too. I also am a huge fan of their slushies where you can add your own flavor.

Great place for an ice cream :-) place your order at the «walk up window» outside. Knowledgeable staff. I asked the girl at the window about each flavor name and she was kind to inform me what they each were. Good service!
