Tucker’s Whippy Dip

Best ice cream in Mason. The definition of hometown ice cream. Hot fudge sundae was on point. Highly recommend if looking for local options!

WELL WELL WELL. I TOOK A nice little trip to whippy dip last friday with my two sons, one daughter, and two wives of mine for a nice treat after Luke’s baseball game as I am a father. I was being served by a young lady named Bruce. Very plain, very lovely. And behind my very nice interaction with Miss. Bruce was a man who was being downright belligerent. He was shouting on about swirleys and swirley money oh it was just heinous. Miss and I had to both bend over the counter and should in each other’s ear to talk. It felt like the– oh well I don’t want to go into every detail of the interaction. The little rascal is going to bed and I will have to help with the bed sequence because I am a father and a 44 year old. Anyways, it was very strange. Very uncomfortable. Eventually my discomfort was quelled by some bomb ass ice cream that looked like Cuba Gooding Jr. Overall. It was one of the most jarring and unsettling experiences of my adult life as I am an adult, however the name of this zoo sounds like the word a kindergartener teacher has to use in place of the actual swear words around her kids because she doesn’t want them to hear that. So. a ⁵⁄₅ as good as it gets down here in Mason Ohio which is where I live, I live in Ohio!

My husband and I love love love the whippy dip! Delicious ice cream and great service! Always a perfect treat!

Whippy Dip is a great local place that serves a variety of soft serve, slushes, wow cow, and some food. Every time I have gone it’s delicious, the people are nice, and the prices are fair. Just remember they are seasonal and cash only. Check their Twitter for info.

Such a cute concept! Limited flavors and toppings but they make up for it in novelty. Love the characters and creative designs they can make. Definitely great family fun especially for young kids. Only concern is that the drive thru passes on both sides of the shoppe so you have to be very careful coming and going.

I really enjoy Whippy Dip! Anyone in this area knows that Whippy Dip has some nearby «rivals» with fiercely loyal supporters, but I think Whippy Dip holds its own against them. It is my personal favorite of the surrounding ice cream joints. Parking is a little cramped at the store itself, but I’ve seen people just park in the adjoining dry cleaners or across the street. You can also use the drive-​thru here, which is always incredibly tempting as I drive past it on my way to I-​71. The soft serve is as good as soft serve gets. I am a huge fan of the peanut butter cup sundae, which is what puts Whippy Dip above its competition for me. Bring cash, since they don’t do credit card. I’m not sure why this is a big surprise to anyone — most non-​chain ice cream joints I’ve been to don’t accept credit card for whatever reason. Unless I’m going to Graeters, I leave the CC at home and bring cash instead. The prices are comparable to other ice cream stands and there’s usually a good crowd here, but I’ve never seen it –too– crowded like at their competition. If you’ve not been here yet, stop by and try it! Grab a bowl or cone and walk down the pleasant downtown Mason streets.

What a fun little place!
Fantastic customer service — cannot say enough good things about the kids who worked there. They were SLAMMED but we’re courteous and helpful to everyone! Bravo!
All the ice cream was delicious, and everyone in our large group was pleased with our choices. The animal ice cream cones were a big hit with my 4 year old! Large portions, good amount of toppings.
The only thing that would make this place better is LIGHTING. It’s all outdoor seating, but there’s hardly any light despite it being a rather large seating area.

My love of Whippy Dip runs deep. As a former Mason resident, and MHS graduate (go Comets), this was THE spot as a youngster. And, it seems like that hasn’t changed much for the young Comet crowd. It can get pretty packed with families and youth soccer teams, which doesn’t help with the parking situation — which can be an issue in the steamy summer months. But, they’ve expanded the lot behind Little Rascals across the street, so it’s not as limited as it used to be. You also have to get past the fact that it’s cash-​only, and just accept it for local delicacy that it is. As for the menu, I can’t say I’ve ventured off the menu, but the Oreo Wow Cow Swirlie is legit. «What’s Wow Cow,» you ask? Only the best low cal ice cream option ever. Seriously, I cannot taste a difference between that and the regular soft serve, so don’t even tell me that you can. Even though I’ve grown up and moved away from Comet Country, Whippy will always have a special place in my heart, and I may or may not make special trips to taste it in all its glory.

It’s 2014… no credit or debit cards taken? Seriously… I’m heading back over to the Cone.

As a Mason resident, Whippy Dip is the only place to get ice cream (I guess Graeter’s is acceptable too…). Why? Because Whippy Dip is sooooo inexpensive and so fun! Every worker there goes to Mason High School, and it gives it this really wonderful summer vacation vibe that feels perfect when you’re eating a giant soft serve. Unfortunately, I could feel myself aging as I went back every summer knowing fewer and fewer of the workers.
Whippy Dip has great ice cream options – frozen bananas, cheesecake bits, wow cows, frozen cappucinos – and best of all, they make animals! You can literally request anything you want and the worker will do their best ice cream artistic interpretation of your request – my go-​to is either a unicorn or an octopus. Basically, the staff of high school kids will try their best to make anything you want, just don’t be a diva about it (because probably a little league team will be impatiently waiting behind you).
Also, drive-​thru option, wooo!
If you can’t find a place to park, park across the street behind the Mason Grill.

Tucker’s Whippy Dip was stop #2 on our summer tour of creamy whips. It’s in «old» Mason just down the street from Wildflower Café. We decided to meet friends who lived right around the corner for a quick treat. A rare opportunity to hang with our suburban friends!
Despite having a map in hand, we somehow managed to drive past it twice. Tucker’s sits back from the road a bit and is tucked in closely beside a gas station and other retail. The space isn’t anything special. Very white. A few outdoor picnic tables and bench seating. We shared the space with a team from a local soccer tournament, and it was pretty cramped.
Tucker’s has a decent selection of frozen treats, though maybe not as much as other places we visited later in our quest. The soft serve is good and priced pretty well. One important note. Tucker’s is cash only! Our friends made this mistake, but luckily we had extra cash on us to lend.
In the end, there was nothing special about our visit that made the drive to Mason a must. It’s certainly somewhere to stop on a hot summer day if you happen to already be in the area.

Definitely the best ice cream in Mason, extremely worth it.

Family and I love it!

Solid frozen yogurt that has lots of fun variety (especially for the kids). Reco the wow cow (ok even if lactose intolerant) with the strawberries/​banana. They can blend in ‘add ins’ like a McFlurry or Blizzard. Highly recommend as a summer treat.
