Dippin’ Dots

Nice place if you like your ice cream in form of tiny pellets. Don’t try the all blue flavor though, it turns your mouth and teeth blue and after several brushing of teeth, and using mouth wash, you will be lucky if the color goes away.
They used to have the punch card that allowed you to buy 10 cups of any size and get a small cup free deal. Well with my five nieces, that card got punched twice and I was told the free deal can be used the next time I visit. Which I thought was not fair!
Anyways, I have a gut feeling that when I ask for my free cup, they are bound to say they don’t offer this deal anymore… Lol!

Plenty flavors! I love how you can combine flavors in any size cup. I always get Java and strawberry– a weird combo but I love it. That or banana split and java.

I love Dippin Dots just for the novelty of the whole experience. Good prices, fun to eat, and the flavors are delicious!
Don’t discount these little bits of ice cream as probably gross. From the first time I had Dippin Dots I was actually surprised at the quality of ice cream. I usually don’t get the kinds with other bits thrown in (chocolate chip cookie dough and such) I just get the flavors that are straight Dots. My favorite is the Rainbow Sherbet. Delicious, just the right amount of real AND artificially fruity, and turns your mouth a disgusting, but fun shade of brown. :D
The atmosphere in the store is pretty nice too as there’s usually not a crowd so you can sit around and enjoy your Dots with friends or family!

I was only introduced to these amazing things a few years ago when I found them at the SF Westfield Center. You put (a lot of) money into a machine and this vacuum tube would move and suck a cup from below in order to place it in a chute that leads to your greedy open palms. I’d waste many singles watching this glorious contraption.
Dippin’ Dots were sort of a fad but I’m so glad they’ve stuck around. It’s an easy idea but so ingenious at the same time! They’re tiny little ice cream balls that are rock hard frozen and if you mix and match flavors, it’s like a party in your mouth. :-D
I have a terribly difficult time eating ice cream quick enough to prevent a pool of cream and sauces so this is the perfect solution. I love taking a few colorful bites and letting it swirl and surprise my taste buds. It takes a little time to let the dots melt so the anticipation and delayed gratitude makes me a deliriously happy girl. Dippin’ Dots are getting harder and harder to find and I feel so special having one just down the street. This is a fun alternative to your traditional ice cream cone or even fro yo. It’s definitely worth a try if you haven’t already.
Oh my gosh, try cookies n’ cream.

Nice. Awesome flavors. They give you samples of all the flavors. Awesome to be able to have dip’n’dots, since these are normally only at fairs and stuff.
The shop was nice and clean. The lady at the counter was super nice. Will definitely come try more flavors again.
