The Dip Ice Cream & More

Good soft serve but ridiculously overpriced. Got 2 small cone for $ 2.50 each (plus $.50 for a tiny bit of flavor added on one) and thought they had made a mistake and given me a kiddie sizes. Thankfully we have Norwood Whippy Dip and Newtown Dairy Corner which are better and closer to home!

My favorite local ice cream joint. Has so many different options to choose from and is probably one of my favorite places to be during the summertime! My favorite has to be a classic come with vanilla and chocolate ice cream swirl with rainbow sprinkles! I definitely recommend you check it out!

The dip has a overwhelming number of items and ice cream variations to choose from. Today because it is fall I got the pumpkin flavor ice cream dipped in chocolate. I love pumpkin flavor and it was good. They usually have a flavor or two of frozen yogurt for the lactose intolerant. Nice big patio to sit under in the shade. They also have a drive thru if you prefer some ice cream on the go. The staff is usually friendly. I hope to try something different each time.

I’ve only been to the Dip once and I definitely want to head over there again. They have an interesting selection and the prices are reasonable. I ordered a flavored vanilla cone that was a larger size than I expected. If you order a flavored cone, you get to pick from several types. I chose cotton candy, because let’s face it… the only thing better than cotton candy itself is COTTON CANDY FLAVORED ICE CREAM!!! NOM!!! They give you a vanilla cone and each edge is covered with the flavoring of your choice. It was good, but I do wish the taste had been more potent.
Now my mom got a twist cone, with the vanilla and chocolate swirl and I tell you what, that chocolate was some of the most delicious and smooth chocolatey bliss I’ve ever tasted. YUM! They have the normal cones, sundaes, cyclones etc. The prices are great, and my favorite part is that they have a huge cement patio shaped like a circle, with some slowly gyrating ceiling fans just overhead to keep you and your tasty treat nice and cool. If you prefer the sunshine, they have a few picnic tables so can enjoy the heat.
Either way, this place is a great little ice cream joint. I’ll definitely return for more deliciousness.

Good soft-​serve ice cream with a pleasant, spacious area to eat under a gazebo. Previous review noted that they don’t accept credit cards, but they did when I was there.

This, as I mentioned in my other review for Cassano’s Pizza is one of the other reasons why I love living in Fairfield.
The Dip is a really cute ice cream stand at the corner of Gelhot and Pleasant. Chances are, if you’ve driven down Pleasant Ave towards Hamilton, you’ve seen it.
Next time, stop. But make sure if you do, that you have cash. That’s right, the reason for withholding that 5^th and final star lies right there– the fact that they are cash only. There have been so many times that I’ve wanted to stop for a cone or a hurricane (their version of a blizzard or flurry– ice cream with chunks of candy mixed in! YUM) and have had to keep rolling because I had no cash.
The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are HUGE. A small is way more than enough for me, and a medium feels like a meal. I’ve never been brave enough to order a large.
They have awesome flavors, which rotate monthly, some of my favorites are Blueberry and Cake Mix.
If you are in Fairfield stop by for a Dip. Well, actually it’s soft serve, so I don’t know where they got the name. ;)
