Grassland Dessert Cafe — Restaurant in Salisbury

Grassland Dessert Cafe is more than just an ice cream shop — it’s Lakeville’s new heartbeat. Owners Bill and Lorna have lovingly brought back to life the old Lakeville pharmacy, transforming it into a vibrant, joyful gathering spot that captures the spirit of small-town magic with every scoop.

Step inside and you’re greeted by the warm smile of proprietor Bill Colgan, whose boyhood memories of the Skipper Dipper on Long Island inspired this delightful adventure. He’s recreated that nostalgic charm here — with a twist!

Craving a classic? The Orange Freeze and Root Beer Float will send you straight back to summer afternoons gone by. Want something modern? Don’t miss flavors from Gifford’s Ice Cream, like the rich, espresso-swirled Campfire S’mores, or the wildly indulgent Sea Salt Caramel Cookie Crunch — the kind of flavors you can’t stop thinking about.

🎉 And if you’re celebrating — or just feel like going BIG — order the Everything But the Garage Sink: a jaw-dropping creation with 20 scoops of ice cream, piled high with toppings. It’s perfect for birthdays, school advisory groups, or a spontaneous family feast.

This isn’t just a dessert stop — it’s a place where memories are made. Whether you’re a local or passing through the Northwest Corner, Grassland Dessert Cafe is a must-visit. Grab a cone, say hi to Bill, and feel the joy of community, one sweet...
