Dari Point

OMGeee. I haven't been to Dari Point in YEARS and let me tell you, it held up. They have a nice selection of soft serve, and creative treats. it's walkable from a lot of homes in Delaware and has some parking. This place is old school, just some picnic tables outside and a few benches. Walk up counters. Service is pretty quick.My friend and I both got the black raspberry chocolate top pretzel cyclone. Yes, its' a long name! The combination of raspberry, chocolate, and salty pretzels was just right. We really enjoyed them. Also, their Blue Smurf ice cream (now called Papa Smurf) has gotten more elaborate over the years, and it made me so happy to see kids STILL eating that thing! This place is just summer in Ohio!

The ice cream at Dari Point is AMAZING!! Go get yourself some, it is perfect for kiddos because they have a sherbet blue raspberry cone dipped in cherry with candy eyeballs and a whip cream mouth called, "a Smurf" so it is healthier for them. My favorite are their mixed sundaes or sundaes. Anything you get, is amazing, type of place. & do not even get me started on the food, always awesome!! They do such a good job cooking it, I appreciate all the workers!! It definitely could be cleaned up more, but you get what you get with a drive in, hole in the way, family type of place!! A perfect lil spot for a date night, family event or bring the kids after school, you won't regret it!!

I grew up in the '80's and remember going to soft serve ice cream shops like this. They were the best and this reminded me so much of that delicious ice cream I loved as a kid. They have a whole list of flavors and there are options to have a few of them in a swirl. The first time I went I had peanut butter and banana swirl and the second time I had peanut butter and black raspberry, which was like peanut butter and jelly in ice cream form. Loved the options and the ice cream was delicious! The prices were very affordable, for a large cone, ice cream sundae, and Papa Smurf ice cream cone for the son, it was less than $15. Both times we have been here they had a line out the door but it goes pretty fast. They have long picnic tables to eat at outside and it seems to be enough seating for everyone, even when busy. The only downside is they don't have public bathrooms so definitely have a bathroom break beforehand so your kid (or you) don't suddenly and urgently need to use the bathroom! I will definitely make a stop here anytime I am in Delaware!

Visiting my family in the area this summer they took me back to Dari point for ice cream (also came last summer) The ice cream was good, I love the mini buckeyes (wish we had those in CT). Will visit here every time I go visit them!

Another great place for ice cream. It's a locally owned and operated ice cream store. They have a good size menu of frozen treats and hot food too. It also never closes even when it's cold. The service is pretty fast. It has a better atmosphere than any corporate ice cream chain. Much better atmosphere and people seem happy to see customers. Of course it gets busier in summer, but they still get business through the year. A lot of the customers are young children. The place is located across the street from an elementary school. It's common to see the place swarmed with children being rewarded for school or sports achievements. They continue to operate in the winter months by selling nuts and other candy for the holidays. It has a good seating area. It's enclosed so it's good for colder months. The parking area is small so you may have to park on the street to get there.

This is the old school spot for summer diner, food and ice cream. Located just a minute east of Downtown Delaware. They offer more types and styles of ice cream than you can think of. Plus they also offer many types of snack foods that would appeal to the diner feel and be a great snack while getting the kiddos or yourself some ice cream. As many times as we have been there and never had any complaints I would recommend this place to anyone who wants some diner style food. We have been to the competition before and came to realize that they aren't that competitive to Dari Point. They have so much to offer it's amazing.

This place was on my bucket list for a while. I'm sampling chili dogs all over the state. They did not disappoint. I enjoyed the chili dog and a banana shake. This place was packed on a summer Friday night. If only I didn't live an hour away. And their ice cream flavors were unrivaled by other similar dairy stops. Here are unique flavors I've not seen anywhere else. Stop in here quick. You won't be disappointed.

Dari Point gets a solid four stars from me. I love that Delaware has so many creamy whips, we have a handful and Dari Point is just as good as the others. Dari Point is located at the intersection right after one crosses the railroad tracks on 36/37 to get towards Mejier and is right across the street from Conger Elementary. The parking lot at Dari Point only holds a few cars, but there is plenty of parking on the street. The night my girlfriend and I went it was packed with a line out the door, I already knew what I wanted to get my standard small vanilla ice cream with a cherry dip top whereas my girlfriend needed a few minutes to order off the vast menu. The lines moved quick and young teenage girls were very nice. My girlfriend ended up ordering the sundae cone and enjoyed it, however would something else next time as long as it has sprinkles. I enjoyed my cherry dip top as it tasted of Maraschino cherries and had a nice crisp crunch when I bit into it. A number of people were ordering hot food from Dari point and it looked good. Dari Point does accept Cash and Credit Cards.

This is exactly the place you should take your children. It's anything but "corporate chain," which is why we love it. The staff are usually local students, who are very nice and treat everyone with a great attitude.The food is great for when you want a small snack with your cold treat! My favorite is the foot long cheese coney dog. And of course fresh hot fries for my kids. Their soft serve is delicious, and doesn't taste "commercial grade" like most of the chain places do. Most of the Corp places we go to upsets my stomach for the rest of the day. Dari Point's Ice Cream is very easy on my stomach, and I love all of the flavor options they have. Everything from rich & decadent to light and refreshing. Try the orange pineapple flavor!Please keep in mind they are still following the COVID health codes, so expect a slightly longer wait that usual. But I've never waited more than 10-15 minutes in their line, even on a weekend. It's worth the wait!!

10/10 Soft Serve was out of this world. Great family atmosphere, even better service.
