The Dairy Twist

LOVE THE ICECREAM HERE!!! So soft and delicious! Best spot to get them too! The people working here are welcoming and fast. I highly recommend getting ice cream from here!

Favorite soft serve EVER! Just wish they would bring back mint chocolate twist!
Love the Java berry twist and the creamsicle twist. Lots of cool sundaes and such as well but I always go for the soft serve. Perfect for stopping after a beach day!

Simply the best lots of flavors and a great staff. They give huge quantities for low prices.

Best soft serve on the south shore! There is a line sometimes but worth the wait. Also offer homemade hard serve that is delicious as well. Can’t go wrong with the hot fudge sundaes. Staff is always friendly and service is great!

Great spot — so many options.
I thought u the reviews about the quantity of soft serve wer exaggerated but it was tough to kill a small. Great experience all around — good ice cream and imaginative combos.

Dairy Twist has everything! I have always loved this place and make it a point to stop by whenever I’m visiting the area :)

Best soft serve ice cream ever! This is a must after dinner stop for all my out of town visitors. Return visitors demand I take back here. Kiddie size is all you need!

Top notch ice cream! The staff is friendly and the selection is vast! Its a bit difficult to decipher all the options but no matter what you choose it’ll be great and huge. If you buy ice cream for a kid get half the child or less!

Been coming here 10 years. Always great ice cream & good service. Bring cash. Menu is tough to read.

Awesome ice cream and soft serve on the South Shore! First of all, this place isn’t exactly «off the highway» so there is definitely a little bit of exploring essential to finding this place. But do not be fooled by all the cars parked along the driveway and Rt. 53.
First off, this place is cash-​only. Yes, the lines may be a little long. However, just be patient and tolerant of the little screaming kids trying to get their Suburban-driving-soccer-mom’s-attention and the gaggle of high school kids. Like other Unilocalers have said, the menu is a bit all-​over-​the-​place, but I’ve noticed that if you just ask for something you really want… chances are they have it or they can make it. I really like the homemade signs and the construction paper artwork. It’s a family run business!
The ice cream is, in fact, THAT good. The portion sizes are massive. Even just the kiddie size is more than enough for me. I typically get a kiddie size soft serve since the large size would easily put me in a diabetic coma. Bonus for Fido: they have doggie «pup-​cups» available; soft serve ice cream and a milkbone. The area around the shop is dog friendly.
A summer tradition!

The ice cream is always great. My big complaint is how un-​user friendly the menu is. It’s all over the place. It’s overwhelming & hard to figure out what they have. If you are on one side of the building you can’t see the menu on the other side. It’s beyond ridiculous.

This is a fantastic, old fashioned, ice cream spot. The soft serve is delicious. The servings are enormous and the price is right.

This is absolutely my favorite ice cream place on the south shore. It’s just so local. I absolutely love how the owners have this place attached to their house. All the signs are homemade, like their ice cream. The flavors are greatly varied, anyone can find something they like. If you’re into soft serve, they have that too, in many different flavors.
The best part about this place is that you get huge portions for your money, and they place is fairly cheap for a homemade ice cream place.
My favorite is chocolate chip cookie dough, which may sound boring but no other place tops the way they do it. They added a salted caramel flavor as well last summer which made my decisions a lot harder.
Try everything. Go every night. You won’t be disappointed.

Many unique ice-​cream treats here.

Where else can you get 10 and a half swirls of soft serve ice cream on a cone for $ 4.10??! No where! Owners are very friendly– staff is wonderful. Worth the wait– but the lines normally aren’t bad if you make it there before 7:30PM. Be aware they are CASH ONLY– but that’s probably how they keep prices so low! Very clean. Options for everyone!- Sorbets (non-​dairy), sherbets, soft serve, hard serve, dips, and tons of sundaes (Try the «SPUNKY MONKEY» home made banana cake is delicious!)

Excellent Chocolate soft serve and very friendly staff. I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve lived in Pembroke my whole life and had never been here before. I intend fully to return frequently as to make up for lost time. Portions are HUGE. The picture I uploaded was of a Small.

Ah, Dairy Twist. It’s, first of all, a place with a lot of charm, as a small town ice cream place with the menu wall entirely covered in fliers showing all of the ice cream specialties they have… which is a lot. After many changes in decisions, I went with the ginger ice cream, which is exactly what one would expect; ice cream with tiny slices and shoots of ginger! They have other, more familiar choices on the menu as well.
Keep in mind that this place will often be crowded; expect to wait in line. Also, depending on where you are coming from, it may be difficult to find this place (from the interstate highway it was for us). Nonetheless, it’s a charming place that has great ice cream and other deserts. Try it!

Best Ice Cream Selection, Sizes and prices on the South Shore!
Stick with the kiddie size, its PLENTY!

Delicious, multi-​flavored soft serve. Big portions at reasonable prices. Their small was intimidating, I can only imagine what a large looks like. Only «problem» is that it’s cash only, so make sure you have some real dollars on you when you go. But it’s very likely you can just scrape the change drawer and come up with enough for a cone.

This place has been busy since the moment they opened years ago. Dairy Twist has *everything*- from soft serve to traditional hard ice cream, sorbets, sherbets, milkshakes, sundaes, toppings and dips, and a million of their own unique creations. It isn’t expensive and the portion sizes are huge– we generally stick with a «kiddie» size because even the «small» is too much!
Be warned– they don’t take credit cards, and you WILL wait in line forever. There is barely any parking, the lines are almost out to the streets. They have a nice little area with benches to sit and eat if you’d like, so you can relax and enjoy after waiting so long to get your ice cream!
If you’re in the area, this is definitely the place to go. Much better than the ice cream you’d find at a regular shop (like Friendly’s) and as mentioned, the cost to portion ratio is better than anywhere I’ve seen.
One of the best parts is their soft serve. Of course they have the traditional chocolate, vanilla, and twist, but they always have other flavors that are superb. One of my favorites is the orange creamsickle, but they have a black raspberry/​java that’s really good and a pistachio (I can’t remember what this is paired with!) that’s great too. If you haven’t tried them, you’re missing out!
