For over seven decades, Double D Dairy Bar has been the gathering place where neighbors share scoops of ice cream, fresh-baked treats, and the kind of warmth that only a hometown shop can offer.
Double D Dairy Bar opened its doors on State Street in 1952, and the spirit of that first day has never faded. What began as a modest ice cream parlor quickly became the heartbeat of downtown Melrose — a place where families gather after school, couples share a sundae on Friday nights, and neighbors bump into each other over the soda fountain.
Today, we still hand-scoop every serving, bake our goods fresh each morning, and stock the same thoughtful selection of grocery staples our founders chose decades ago. Nothing here is rushed. Nothing is forgotten.
Over 30 rotating flavors made from real cream and the finest ingredients. From classic vanilla bean to seasonal specialties you won't find anywhere else in the county.
Warm apple pie, chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon rolls — baked every morning and displayed right at the front of the shop. Pair a slice with a scoop and you've got perfection.
A thoughtfully curated selection of everyday groceries — from pantry essentials and dairy to snacks and beverages. Your quick stop for what you need, without the big-box crowds.

Double D has been our family's Saturday ritual for as long as I can remember. The ice cream is unmatched, and the staff treats you like you've known them forever.
I drove through Melrose and stopped in for a pie slice and a scoop — best unexpected find of the trip. The place has so much character and the food is genuinely excellent.
They carry everything I need for a quick grocery run, and the baked goods are worth the detour alone. It's rare to find a shop that does both so well.
Whether you're grabbing a quick snack or settling in for a slow afternoon, Double D Dairy Bar is your place in Melrose.
