I really wanted to like Dairy Crest — we don't have many local ice cream spots, and it's great to see a new one pop up. But after two visits, I'm left pretty disappointed. I'm originally from an area with a lot of great ice cream shops, so maybe my expectations are shaped by that — but even taking that into account, the portion sizes here feel really off.
The first time I went, I ordered a medium, which felt pretty small. So next time I ordered a large, hoping to get a more satisfying portion. What I got was basically the same amount of ice cream as before, just in a larger cone. When I asked about it, the staff confirmed it was the large. I let it go that time, thinking maybe it was a one-off mistake.
But I went back today and the exact same thing happened again. Paid for a large, got two or three swirls of soft serve — which is more like what you'd expect from a medium or even a small in most other places. I’ve been to shops where sizes are clearly defined by the number of swirls or weight. By those standards, this “large” really doesn’t measure up.
I’m not sure if this is just how they portion their cones or if it was careless staff both times — but either way, as a paying customer, it’s frustrating to feel like I’m not getting what I paid for. I really hope they reconsider how they portion out their sizes, because I want to support local businesses, but right now I’m not getting value for my money.
Ive attached a photo of another Ice Cream shop I go to's sizes for reference.

Signs everywhere saying 2pm-9pm 7 days a week. Apparently that’s not true? They closed at 8:20 on a Saturday. Since this would have been our first time trying, can’t even say if it’s worth it to come back… so we probably won’t since we live 30 minutes away.
