Meadowlark Dairy Expands After 53 Years With a New Livermore Location
Meadowlark Dairy, a beloved Pleasanton favourite, has opened a second branch in Livermore. The new location launched on December 23, 2022, marking the first expansion in the business's 53-year history. Known for its classic ice cream and dairy products, the shop has moved into a repurposed bank building with ample parking.
The family-run dairy has served customers from the same Pleasanton drive-thru since 1969. Its menu stays simple, featuring vanilla, chocolate, orange, strawberry, and pineapple ice cream, with occasional limited-time flavours. A small scoop costs $3.50, while the shop also sells milk, butter, and other dairy goods.
The Livermore branch differs from the original by offering outdoor seating with tables. In Pleasanton, customers usually enjoy their treats in their cars. The new site's layout, including its spacious car park, makes it easier for visitors to sit and relax.
Fans describe the ice cream as rich and nostalgic, evoking a taste of the past. The business has kept its traditional approach, avoiding trendy additions in favour of quality basics.
The expansion brings Meadowlark Dairy's beloved products to a wider audience. The Livermore branch's design and extra seating provide a fresh experience while maintaining the brand's old-fashioned charm. The shop continues to serve its signature flavours and dairy staples in both locations.
