Crema's Take

This beloved Grand Junction institution is a nostalgic ice cream parlor that's earned devotion for its standout ice cream cakes and creative milkshakes, with fans literally apologizing to all other desserts for the comparison. Beyond the sweets, they're known for unexpected savory hits like green chili dogs and all-beef hot dogs served in generous portions at prices that feel like a steal, all delivered with genuinely friendly service from a charming drive-thru setup with inviting outdoor seating. Whether you're grabbing a quick treat or settling in for a full meal, Graff Dairy feels like the kind of place where locals return again and again.

I tried the chili dog, chocolate sundae, and their pretzel. If you get the chili dog know that it’s those green chili. I didn’t know and it’s not clearly advertised that’s what they use. It was a new experience and the chili has a nice kick to it but it wasn’t what I expected. The ice cream for the sundae is smooth and the chocolate sauce was a step above the rest. The pretzel comes with a dipping sauce which is great and it also was a bigger sized cup that lasted the entire pretzel. I got the beer cheese dip. Overall i’ll be back but I think i’ll start away from the chili dog as the green chili just didn’t mix well as a flavor on a hot dog for me.

I would like to formally apologize to every other dessert I’ve ever eaten, because ice cream cake has officially ruined you all for me. This masterpiece is what happens when cake and ice cream stop pretending to compete and finally admit they’re soulmates. You get the fluffy, slightly crumbly cake layer doing its soft little sponge routine, and then BAM — creamy, cold, velvety ice cream slides in like the Beyoncé of dairy. The frosting? Whipped clouds of sugary joy. And don’t even get me started on that mysterious crunchy layer in the middle. Who invented that? A genius. A hero. A Nobel Prize–worthy visionary. Every bite is a dramatic temperature plot twist. “Oh, is it cake? Is it ice cream? Is it both?” Yes. Yes it is. It’s the overachiever of desserts. It doesn’t just satisfy your sweet tooth — it throws it a parade. I once said, “I’ll just have a small slice.” That was a lie. Ice cream cake doesn’t do small. It does seconds. It does thirds. It does “I’ll start my diet tomorrow.” It has the emotional support qualities of ice cream and the celebratory energy of cake. Birthdays? Upgraded. Random Tuesdays? Now special occasions. If happiness had a flavor and a texture and a perfectly frosted edge, it would be ice cream cake. Five stars. Ten stars. I would leave it in my will.

Yum! We loved this treasure of a place during our recent visit to Grand Junction. Very large portion for the prices. They have a large variety of items as well. I really enjoyed my milk shake - caramel brownie. My husband and kids got the layered Sundaes - some of the toppings probably could have been chopped up a bit more, but that’s not really a huge issue. Lots of different options for the sundaes and malts and shakes. Plain ice cream cones there was limited availability but I suspect most don’t go for that. Good prices for cones/cups too. We also got the huge pretzel with cheese sauce which didn’t disappoint. My kids loved the hot dogs. Highly recommend! We will be back.

Recommend by many! On our way out of town we had to make the stop. Got a couple shakes and they did not disappoint. Great friendly service. Outside decor is on point. I would highly recommend as well.

I had the all beef hotdog, ice cream, and more. Please see photos. I used a credit card and found out you can get a discount for cash. It’s a drive through, you’ll see the menus in my photos. Overall I will be back. Enjoyed the food! There are tables outside but too cold for me. (Winter) There was a person who came to the vehicle and took our order and we paid. Look forward to going back! We didn’t eat there took it home and ate the all beef hotdog and simply forgot to take a picture. Now I have a good excuse to go back.
