Central Dairy

610 Madison St, Jefferson City, MO 65101, USA

Spring for a cone in your favorite flavor at this mid-Missouri institution. Originally founded in nearby Columbia, the Jefferson City location outlasted other stores and continues to serve locals’ favorite shakes, sundaes, and cones at very reasonable prices. Sugar-free and lower-fat versions of old classics are available, if not recommended. Sodas, chips, and other snacks are available, but why bother--here, ice-cream is the main event. Newbies should know that the sizing is off. A small cone is a large cone elsewhere, and the banana split could replace multiple meals.

More Recommendations

Try fresh-as-a-Missouri-morning sundaes and shakes
