Ice cream fans will find Bluffton on the Ohio Ice Cream Trail
Everyone in Bluffton surely knows where the Bluffton Dari Freeze is (at the corner of Bentley and Main). Now travelers across the state have a handy map pointing them to the seasonal ice cream and food stand.
On the State of Ohio Ice Cream Trail map, you’ll find the shop in the #7 slot – counterclockwise, it’s just next to Dietsch Brothers of Findlay. If you’re on I-75, you find the stand within view of exit 140.
Owner Kevin Tuttle says he has no idea how many out-of-towners are among his customers. But he is honored to be on the Ice Cream Trail and says it’s “cool” to be among the ice cream makers and retailers on the map.
Tuttle notes people are surprised that the small walk-up shop with outdoor tables provides an extensive menu of tenderloins, wraps and burgers, giving them a chance to have lunch or dinner with dessert.

The business also has a large pavilion where folks can enjoy their food and ice cream, protecting them from sun or rain. The Bluffton Dari Freeze, 525 S. Main, is open from the middle of March to the middle of September.
