Drive-thru restaurants aren't just for fast food. Hiding in Pleasanton is a drive-thru ice cream spot like no other; Meadowlark Dairy is perhaps the only drive-thru dairy in California (at least, that we know of!) You don't even have to leave your car to enjoy one of the finest soft serve ice cream cones that NorCal has to offer. Additionally, you'll see that Meadowlark has all sorts of goodies for sale, from fresh-baked goods to original merchandise. It's a must-stop when in Pleasanton, so be sure to check it out.

You're bound to come across a few gems when exploring the city of Pleasanton - like Meadowlark Dairy, a drive-thru dairy where you can get yourself some of the best ice cream in NorCal without ever leaving your car.

Meadowlark Dairy was actually the very first certified dairy in California when it was founded in the early 1900s. In 1958, Holland immigrants Jannes and Janna Takens signed a 10-year lease on the business. It remains in the Takens family to this day.

It's definitely not very often you come across a drive-thru dairy like this one. Yes, you can really pick up some of the dairy's products simply by going through the drive-thru! Bottles of milk, flavored creamers, whipping cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream are just a few of the products that are typically for sale.

The drive-thru is great in a pinch or when you need just a few ingredients. Other products available through the drive-thru include lunch meats, bacon, chips, flour, soft drinks, fresh bread, and other typical convenience items.

Of course, it's the ice cream that draws the crowds. Meadowlark's ice cream cones are famous for a reason! They come in small, medium, or large in classic flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Specialty flavors like pumpkin, pineapple, and banana only come every once in a while...and they often sell out quickly.

After just one lick of an ice cream cone, you may just find yourself getting back in line for another. Better yet, purchase a 48-ounce tub to enjoy at home! The tubs of ice cream come in a wide variety of delicious flavors.

It's never been easier to get your sugar fix. Get in your car and drive to Pleasanton so you can experience the convenience and deliciousness of Meadowlark Dairy yourself! Visit the dairy's website to learn more.
