A Legacy of Sweetness
Founded on a family heritage connected to ice cream that dates back to 1948, The Dairy Den has always been about more than just treats. It's a story of family, passion, and a love for creating joy through desserts. The legacy started with their grandfather ('Papou' in Greek) making ice cream in South Africa, and now, the sisters Tasia and Lexi continue this sweet journey.
The Dairy Den is not just an ice cream shop; it's a place where happy childhood memories are made and cherished. The new store in Rondebosch is a continuation of this vision, bringing a slice of nostalgia and joy to the Riverside Mall.

The Dairy Den has launched 3 new Instagram filters featuring some of its most popular products, including it's signature Rainbow Unicorn Swirl on a black oreo cone.
The filters use computer-generated Augment Reality effects to layer iconic Dairy Den elements on the real-life display of user's mobile devices. This fun engagement invites customers to explore 3 unique Life is Sweet scenarios, including a custom-designed crown theme, raining donuts theme and sprinkle lips make-up theme.
"The idea for our new filters was born in lockdown. Our customers have always enjoyed taking selfies in-store with their favourite soft serves and donuts. We wanted to create a new way for our customers to enjoy The Dairy Den brand, without needing to be in our physical space. With the shift in reality in 2020 we needed to create new engagements that can delight our customer, wherever they are!" - Tasia Donaldson, The Dairy Den
