“ The Ideal Dairy is a cute little place in Richfield where you can get something good to eat and definitely get a sweet treat! The inside reminds me of a cross between an old fashioned ice cream shop mixed with granny's kitchen. The people that work there are super sweet and made me feel right at home. I'll definitely stop by for another snack next time I'm in the area. ”
“ It’s so delicious, but I don’t understand the bagel for the panini. Take the Santa Fe beef for example: you can’t help but put your fingers right in the wet green chili tomato cheese center. Minus 0.00000001 star for that, but we’ll round up. ”

They had so many flavors to pick from that I couldn't even make up my mind and decided to come back again later that night. They had options for hot snacks, paninis breakfast items also that looked amazing! And the inside is nice and big if you're looking to get out of the heat. ”
