If someone in your family is dairy-free or vegan, an ice cream run can feel like leaving them out. That's exactly why Dole fruit soft serve is on the menu at Ryan's: a treat that's 100% dairy-free, so everyone can order something.
So what is it, exactly?
Dole soft serve is a fruit-based soft serve, smooth and swirled like the classic you know, but made without dairy. It's light, refreshing, and full of fruit flavor, which makes it a favorite on hot Jersey Shore afternoons.
The flavors: pineapple, strawberry, and cherry
Ryan's serves Dole fruit soft serve in three flavors. Pineapple is the icon: bright and tropical, it tastes like a beach day. Strawberry is familiar and sweet, and cherry is the bold, fun pick.
Who is it for?
- Dairy-free and vegan guests: it's 100% dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
- Kids who love fruity flavors: colorful, sweet, and easy to love.
- Anyone wanting something lighter: a refreshing change from a rich scoop.
- The just-curious: plenty of regulars order a swirl alongside their usual.
Good to know: Flavor availability can vary by shop and season. If you're making a special trip, check with your nearest location first.
Where to find it
You'll find Dole soft serve at both of our shops: Tinton Falls at 462 Shrewsbury Ave is open daily from 11am to 10pm, and Oakhurst at 1805 Route 35 is open daily from 12pm to 10pm. That leaves plenty of summer evening for a post-dinner swirl.
One more note for the whole crew: if the family dog came along for the ride, ask about a Pup Cup at the counter. Nobody gets left out of an ice cream run at Ryan's, four-legged members included.
Part of a menu with something for everyone
Dole soft serve sits alongside homemade ice cream, milkshakes, cakes, and Italian ice, so a group with different tastes (and different diets) can all leave happy.
