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.
