The UConn Dairy Bar is a classic ice cream bar and scoop shop that has been churning out award-winning ice cream and other dairy products for more than 60 years. Established in the 1953 and located in the George C. White Building, this student-run hotspot features walls adorned with posters showing the milk-making and dairy production and classic red checkerboard-pattern circles, and a beautiful case crammed with vintage milk bottles. An observation window allows visitors to look onto the ice cream-making area where all of the ice cream is made, which include 24 flavors of freshly made ice cream with flavors like banana chocolate chip, coffee espresso crunch, chocolate peanut butter, and seasonal flavors such as peach and peppermint stick.
