Washtenaw Dairy

Washtenaw Dairy has delivered milk, cheese, and cream to Washtenaw County for over 86 years. The shop at 602 S. Ashley St. opens at 5 am on weekdays and stays open until 10 pm. Come by before work for a donut, or come back after dinner for a cone.

The Dairy makes fresh donuts every day. You get eight flavors: Chocolate Glazed, Vanilla Glazed, Maple Glazed, Cinnamon Sugar, Plain, Vanilla with Coconut, Maple with Peanuts, and Vanilla with Sprinkles. Need to feed a crowd? Get a Dairy Box of 30 donuts in any color combination, Maize and Blue included. The Dairy pitches "Go Blue Donuts and a gallon of milk" as the way to celebrate a team win.

The scoop counter has over 30 flavors. Every Ann Arbor driver knows a pothole. This one tastes better. Michigan Pothole is thick, black-tar fudge in chocolate ice cream with chunks of chocolate asphalt. Mackinac Island Fudge brings vanilla with fudge swirls and soft island fudge pieces. Superman mixes vanilla, red pop, and Blue Moon, and Blue Moon on its own is bright blue with a nutmeg flavor.

Pick a Kids (4oz), Single (5oz), or Double (8oz), with up to two flavors in the Single and Double. Waffle cones cost extra. Want something to sip? The Dairy has hand-dipped shakes and malts.
