As you walk the streets of campus, you see students walk in a building empty-handed and leave with an ice cream cone to delight in. What is this place? Paradise on a college campus? Close, but no—it’s called the Dairy Store.
The LSU Dairy Store has a plethora of unique flavors that highlight their Tiger pride, including “Bulldog Bite” in honor of the first LSU home game of the 2025 season. The flavors also cater to the latest news students are keeping up with, like Taylor Swift’s recent engagement. But if you just want a regular ol’ treat, there is undoubtedly an ice cream cone with your name on it.
My favorite part about the Dairy Store has to be that students are the ones serving you, which means they understand the horror it is to pick just one flavor. You can expect to sample dozens of their seasonal and fresh flavors with no judgment. But if you are really having a hard time making up your mind, here’s a cheat sheet.
Tiger Bite
Tastes like a blueberry muffin in liquid form. Freshly picked blueberries fill your mouth. The ice cream itself screams tiger pride with its gold and purple coloring. If mike could eat ice cream, this would definitely be his favorite flavor.
Cookie Dough
Almost as if homemade cookies were mixed into a light and airy vanilla base. Consistency is creamy with an indulgent flavor.
Pumpkin Spice
This seasonal flavor never goes go out of style. A potent taste of pumpkin spice, as if a latte transformed into a frozen treat just for you.
Wedding Cake (Taylor’s Version)
Classic almond flavor with a hint of coconut and mini cake pieces throughout. Genius play on words with the name.
Key Lime Pie
Indistinguishable from the pie, and had the perfect amount of citrus. Pieces of pie crust come with each bite.
The shop also frequently hosts events with local Baton Rouge businesses. On Friday, Sept. 5, they are partnering with Companion Animal Alliance to host an adoption event called Pups n’ Cups. Ice cream will be for purchase, but if you adopt a pup, your scoop is on them. Take a study break and head over from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to play with (and possibly bring home!) a four-legged fella.
The LSU AgCenter Dairy Store is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and closed on the weekends. You can find it on 118 S Campus Drive next to Howe Russell and the Life Sciences building.
