Customer Reviews
Best ny cheesecake and Oreo ice cream we ever had. Customer service was on point. I like this 🔥🔥
I recently had the pleasure to take part in the Big Dipper Ice Cream Challenge and couldn’t be more happy about my experience! This was my first time ever visiting the shop and the owner and staff greeted everyone in the most accommodating and friendly manner. Locals in attendance also beamed friendliness and struck up conversations making me feel welcome and included in their community. The ice cream itself was absolutely DELICIOUS! My team devoured their party cake flavor which consisted of a cake batter flavored vanilla base mixed with rainbow sprinkles. Despite consuming almost a gallon of this flavor, it never grew tiresome or boring! It had a velvety creaminess that didn’t feel heavy to eat and it wasn’t overbearingly sweet. I highly recommend The Big Dipper Ice Cream Parlour for any
I am just wondering how come we didn't try this place before! Really good icecream, excellent flavor selection and best of all exceptionally service. Thank you to Arena for making our first visit a memorable one.
Lots of flavors, roomy icecream parlor. Staff are so nice - very find and helpful team. Spacious location to buy and enjoy your icecream. Nice portions and decent pricing.
Many flavors to choose from which made my first time pretty difficult to order. We got the graham jam, rum and raisin, Grapenut and pistachio. The pistachio was my least favorite of the 4 but we went back to try other flavors which were also good. They make their own waffle cones which was not good to me but my spouse liked it. In my opinion it is super sweet and too thick. Plenty of parking around the store and seating areas outside as well to enjoy the weather. There is handicap parking and a ramp for entry. The interior is very nostalgic and original with the seating area and decor. There are a few grab and go fridges with prepackaged ice cream and ice cream sandwiches. The staff is super friendly and patient.
