Buck’s Ice Cream Place

Come on! It’s a tradition!
Great place with fresh ice cream if you can find it and if its open.
We have a tradition when coming to Mizzou. Shakespeare’s pizza, bucks ice cream and tropix frozen drinks.
Try the tiger stripe (that’s the classic) buy all of their flavored are good.
Make sure you mind the Parking situation because you know campus loves to tow people!

Parked near where we thought it was but had to ask a student for directions. She had no idea, and actually said, «I’m a grad student — I don’t know where things like that are.» (!)
It is a little difficult to hit. It’s in Eckles in the ag area across College on Rollins … but well worth finding. We had the fabled Tiger Stripe which you should at least try; it’s the house favorite. Also nibbled some dark chocolate, and tangerine sherbet. The chocolate was luscious, the Tiger a good mix of orange-​colored vanilla with heavy dark fudge ‘stripes,’ and the sherbet a bit too sweet for our taste but, like the others, nice and creamy.
Get yourself to Buck’s — it’s there. We were glad we went.

What a great little ice cream spot and very reasonably priced.

The Tiger Stripe ice cream was the first treat I had freshman year! It’s delicious and will always remind me of The Columns.

The ice cream is really good and really cheap. i believe its like $ 1.25 a scoop (they are big scoops) and they have lots of interesting flavors. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t know about it b/​c its on the side of hatch hall. my two fav flavors of theirs is definetly cookies and cream, and pumpkin pie.

Always a hometown favorite. I went in to taste the new «healthy» ice cream. Both flavors, blueberry and acai were quite tasty but I’m a chocolate ice cream kind of girl so I walked out with a scoop of my favs. Tiger stripe and rocky road are always at the top of the list. Huge scoops, great price. Make this a must go place if you are visiting Co Mo.

My dad ate Buck’s ice cream back when he went to Mizzou in the 50s… ag majors made their own ice cream on campus. It was closed when I went to Mizzou in the 80s… reopened the year after I left.
At any rate, we rediscovered Buck’s ice cream on a recent day trip… go for the Tiger Stripe. Great-​tasting rich vanilla flavor. Generous portions at a great price.
I think I have seen Tiger Stripe at a St. Louis grocery store… but can’t remember which one! Anyone know? Because now I have to have some more!!!

No dairy-​free options, so boo. They do have sherbet and frozen yogurt, though. People love it, but I haven’t had the ice cream so I can’t comment. Besides being convenient if you’re on that part of campus, I don’t see the big deal.

In honor of the beautiful spring weather Columbia has JUST RECENTLY (bout time) started experiencing, I decided to get ice cream.
I typed ice cream into Unilocal and saw all the typical ones. Cold Stone. Sparky’s. and then I ran into this. Five stars for a place on campus? OUR CAMPUS HAS A PLACE THAT SELLS ICE CREAM? I was quite curious and decided to go for it.
I got there and smiled when I realized that it wasn’t just some classroom inside of the building. It is in fact an ice cream shop ON CAMPUS.
There are a few large tables outside and there are plenty of smaller tables inside. There were two other people in there ordering and from what I could tell this place is a hidden treasure that not many people seem to know about.
They had 12 different flavors to choose from, some of which were pretty unique. Of course they had good ol’ Tiger Stripe ice cream, but they also had DARK chocolate, banana chocolate chip, and peach yogurt. I decided to go with one scoop of Tiger Stripe ice cream after seeing the HUGE size of the scoop that the guy before me had received. I ended up paying $ 1.50 for one GIGANTIC scoop of Tiger Stripe ice cream on a cake cone. Best deal ever.
AND THIS WAS NOT EVEN THE BEST PART… THEY ALLOW STUDENT CHARGE!!! I will be getting ice cream snacks here quite often for the remaining month of school. You should too.

Tiger Stripe ice cream. It’s just vanilla/​fudge twirl dyed black and orange, but it’s the best. This is among the best ice cream I’ve ever eaten.

This shop is super small, but awesome! They make their own ice cream here and it is fantastic. They have their own flavors, such as Tiger Stripe. Check out more info at…

It may not always have been called Buck’s, but this little hole-​in-​the-​wall ice cream shop has been around at MU a long, long time. How long? My Mom and Dad went there when they were attending MU, 43 years ago. When my Dad went there, it was at the very southwest corner of the campus, but the campus has since grown up around it.
Back then, my Dad said, it wasn’t really advertised much – it was sort of an open secret, the kind of place whose reputation spread through word of mouth. I don’t know to what extent that is still true today, but it is still tempting to call it one of MU’s best-​kept secrets.
This ice cream shop is where MU’s agricultural department puts to good use some of the by-​products of students’ educations in the dairy sciences. They make their own ice cream – and they make it good.
They have a dozen or so flavors at their disposal, but the specialty of the house is their «tiger stripe» ice cream. This is vanilla ice cream, colored orange (in keeping with the whole «tiger» theme), marbled with rich frozen fudge. This is pure frozen crack in a cone, and once you’ve tasted it you’ll be sure to crave it ever afterward.
And the best part? At $ 1.25 for a single huge scoop and $ 2 for a double, this is recession-​proof dairy bliss at its very best! A word of warning, though: be careful with their double-​dip cones, they’re monsters!

Try the tiger stripe ice cream. It’s the best. This is located in the the University’s food science building, and they do often have interesting flavors not available at your local grocery!
