Retro Ice Cream Shop in Tampa Since '58

Scooping up Happiness Since 1958

Welcome to Dairy Joy! A nostalgic ice cream shop in Tampa and now branching out to Seminole, we have been enchanting ice cream enthusiasts with our scrumptious treats since 1958. As a family-owned parlor, every scoop we serve is a testament to our enduring legacy and commitment to spreading joy in our community.

In 2018, the torch was passed to Chris and Karrie Mueller, the dedicated duo also responsible for South Tampa’s beloved Xtreme Juice. Fueled by our admiration for Dairy Joy’s nostalgic charm and its ’50s-era magic, they’ve poured their hearts into preserving and enhancing its vintage glory. To us, Dairy Joy is more than just an Tampa ice cream shop – it’s a vibrant piece of Tampa’s sweet history that we are honored to carry forward.

Since 2018, Chris and Karrie Mueller have revived Dairy Joy's '50s charm and Elvis spirit. Serving joy with every nostalgic scoop, we're keeping Tampa's sweet tradition alive.
